Ever think about something from childhood and wonder if anyone else remembers it?

This is the place to post about it.

I'll start:

These things were the shit. I haven't seen them again...

Most of the stuff people are posting probably still exists in one form or another.

Hell, Lincoln Logs are still a thing. And Slinkys.

I had a coming of age thing not too long ago where I realized fully that the things which defined my childhood just aren't around anymore, or at least aren't a big thing.

Tous'R'Us is closed, even Chuck-E-Cheese's are all gone, and the Nintendo DS is now a retro console. And I was like "oh shit". It was super trippy.

It happens to all of us, I guess, and it was that moment I really started to feel adult. But I'm only 22, I still don't know shit about life. Wait until I'm 30 and I actually know what the Hell I'm doing...kinda. I think 40 is around when you just stop giving a shit entirely (?)

Plenty of businesses file for bankruptcy. Especially now that Covid is making a lot of things hard to operate - bankruptcy is mostly just a protection to avoid creditors coming after them while they're unable to actually generate income.

The real question is what concessions they can wrangle out of court and whether or not they can emerge from bankruptcy (lots of businesses do) or not (lots of businesses don't).

This reminds me of how it's been pointed out that the TARDIS in Doctor Who was specifically a Police Box because those were ubiquitous in England in the early 1960s when the show started, so it plausibly made sense that someone might disguise their time machine as one to blend in.

But today, police boxes have been pretty much entirely obsolete for decades, and there's almost none left anywhere in England, to the point where people growing up in England today may not even know what they are, and only recognize them at all as the TARDIS.

This might be a common trope for time machines, though. Both Bill and Ted's phone booth and Marty McFly's DeLorean wouldn't have stood out at all in the era they were created, but they'd blatantly stand out today if you saw one.

I had one of those as a kid:''

Also had one of these:

(still might, actually - I have a Tupperware bin somewhere with most of my surviving stuffed animals in it, and I think I might still have ALF in there. It's also where my stuffed Cthulhu and my big Grunty from .hack are, along with my Zodiac Dragon Beanie Baby and some other stuff)


Never had a Teddy Ruxpin, though, in spite of being around the right age for it:

OH - and I had a Couch Potato, though I think that might have gotten thrown out at some point:
