You wake up in 1995 (no Internet, no mobiles)

[Donkeyd]

What's the first thing you do?

1. Call my father a cunt, I was too young and scared back then.

2. Call all my grandparents

3. Pack my BMX in and put it in storage (which my mother threw away in 1996)

 

[K.I.T.T.]

The internet was very much alive and well in 1995 if you possessed the technical know-how required to use it. It was slow, but it was there.

When I wake up in 1995 am I the version of me that existed in 1995 or am I present-day me sent back to 1995 where I can give myself some winning lottery ticket numbers? Like, an entire year's worth of lottery numbers?

Be delighted tbh
We had banks open
Food , houses prices and gas electricity affordable
No illegal immigrants flooding the country
Yep

1995...? I was attending all-night rave parties, and having a lot of fun playing WipeOut on the playstation.

It's me and my Plan B Rodney Mullen deck, venture featherlight 2's skipping school riding to a dollar theater in North Tucson to see Natural Born Killers and chuck rocks at cars from the storm sewers under the roads at the Tohono O'Ohdam bus depot and dodging homeless Mexicans with the gold spray paint on their faces...

I wish i could,
My father and mother would still be alive
Same goes for a couple of friends of mine.
And for fun i just go to the video store and watch movies on tape and play snes/genesis (wich i still do).
No internet is no problem for me.
just calling people with the phone is still the best method imo.

if i woke in 95,id make a thread about waking up in 1985. the 80's were the best time. no internet to be found in the civilian world. no cell phones. pagers were for those who were on call at work or drug dealers. life was simpler in 85 than in 95. drugs were better and safer,so to speak. living was more affordable also.

I used to have a pager... before I had a cellphone.

In all honesty, probably something Xtreme and/or Rad

I’d get ready to invest heavily in Google Amazon and Gold.. I’d also bet on World Series..

It would be amazing to wake up as 11 year old me but with the knowledge I have now, I'd like to think I'd rule the world in 7 years after that

I was 20 in 1995. Fuck I'm old 😆

 

[Czarcasm]

1995 you say? I was a kid in old Yugoslavia, war was just ending, 3 different religions were going at it.

 

[markymark6373]

I was with the British Army attached to US forces in Georgia.

50 is the new 30, fuck that shit, you're not old. Besides we get the best of both worlds, knowledge of the world before the internet and the ability to be on goregrish. We are way better off than the degenerates the world spits out now. I'd hate to be young now

Amen. These kids today are completely fucked.

 

[Bostonjohn]

Start and quit hard drugs sooner. Or I guess don't start maybe. I don't know. Too early for this. I'll be emotionally available around 9am

 

[PinkE]

Amen. These kids today are completely fucked.

My daughter, who is 22, is mildly fucked but my 9 year old nephew is just an empty shells of a human... they all are. It's so sad

2 out of my 3 sons are lazy, entitled pricks. They hate me for being a functioning member of society instead of a sloth of a leech. It is very sad indeed.
