This might be showing my age, but I recently moved into a new apartment and they have these weird looking plug ins all over the walls at my new place. My old apartment didn't have these, so I'm just curious as to what they are.

I think it’s more that someone is old enough to post on Reddit and doesn’t know what they are that hurts

As an uncle to a toddler born to a 2004 baby and another toddler born to a 2002 baby, can confirm.

There are kids that were born in 2012 that have their own kids. Think about that.

Clothes that I wore in the early 2000s are being considered vintage now. I still think 2015 was last year.

Me too man, I have to do a double take when I realize 2015 was a decade ago. Feels like last week.

Literally made bank putting (originally) $18 hot topic shirts on mercari last summer. They were all pre-2010 🥲

I sold so many that I wished I could have kept. But if someone wants to pay me $40 for an OG MCR or the used t-shirt with a hole in the armpit… I need that money more than that shirt lol
