When I was born, the United States wasn’t involved in a war.
When I’d get to kindergarten too early, the teacher let us watch some cable tv. It was usually showing the original xmen cartoon.
I got an original Nintendo new for Christmas.
I did too, but it was a famicon because I was living overseas.
Old enough to remember the fourth TV channel launching.
I was going to say this.
Instead I’ll say: 48k ZX tape noises and Ace of Aces. Betamax. Not answering the phone as we’re having dinner.
And manic miner! Damn that game was brutal.
I was confused watching Reading Rainbow because I didn’t understand how a blind man could be reading to me.
Lil bonus, I know first hand why floppy disks are called that, but only because my dad had some old games.
36?
That’s a damn good guess!
5.25"
8"
Jealous?
Pics or not real!

YouTube didn’t exist until after I graduated high school
Old enough to know these posts are a gold mine for personal information gathering.
Ah, a fellow 13 year-old.
Lenny is completely firewalled. No email address, different country instance, honeypot false personal information…
Your profile says NotANaziIWasJustBornIn1988.
Glad to here it’s working. Obfuscation is the only anonymity online
Presumably that means you are in fact a Nazi born in 1889
I saw the original Star Wars in theaters.
I grew up with the Star Wars trilogy on VHS box set and phantom menace was one of my first movies in a theatre.
I am Toy Story years old
Old enough that I briefly encountered floppy disks but still young enough that someone tried to explain to me what the “save” symbol means.
Floppy floppies we’re the first I touched. Internet access didn’t exist.
I got one of the first home Pong machines for my 7th birthday
to start, i first found out what 9/11 was through memes
And you’re old enough to be online? That doesn’t seem correct
(This comment also serves to say how old I am)
Why? 2024-2001=21. That’s definitely old enough to be online
Edit: 23, definitely old enough
Hey. Shut up.
The '90s were a decade ago, and always will be!
Unreal
How dare you.
Do you wanna check your math there?
Sorry, my bad! Edited
No :P
I think the minimum age for online these days is something like 43? Otherwise you have to pretend to be a bot?
9/11 is dad’s birthday.
9/11 is 0.81 repeating

I remember playing games on channel 3
Did you have the little switch screwed into the back of your set to go from “TV” to “GAME” ?
also, I came here to post “Atari 2600” but I’ll leave it in this comment instead :P
I had a small switch on the back of the adapter that chose between channel 3 or channel 4
ohhh yeah I think I remember that one too :)
My mom watched the Watergate hearings while she was pregnant with me.
Old enough that I don’t follow trends anymore and I just kind of do my own thing.
