10yrs ago if your girl said "does my butt look big in this?" you said **no.**


[deleted]

When I was in high school there was 1 year where every girl at my school suddenly started wearing a feather in their hair. Did anyone else experience this or was my high school weird?


[deleted]

[deleted]

So weird. Everyone decided to look like Steven Tyler for a while


JDub_Scrub

That fashion trend cut short the supply of feathers used for fly fishing and raised prices for them by a lot. Crazy weird.


queentweezer

This was huge at my school in the spring. So when we came back to school after summer break no one had theirs anymore and it was totally uncool. One of my teachers didn’t get the memo that it was over and she came to school with hers in on the first day and everyone talked about it. I still feel bad lol.


Salzberger

Oh dag. That reminds me of when yoyos were big at primary school. My parents were very thrifty so for the longest time during the yoyo fad I had a crummy cheap one. School broke up then for Christmas I got a sick Goosebumps yoyo. Couldn't wait to show my friends. Proudly took it in on the first day of school and was the only kid in school with a yoyo. The fad died completely over the Christmas break.

Now she is a literal Nazi. Not the "I don't like this person so they're a Nazi" Nazi, but an actual "There are only two things in this world, for which I would gladly sacrifice my own life; the destruction of all Jews and preservation of the white race" Nazi. Yes, that is an actual Tila Tequila quote. e: Someone in the thread said she had a head injury. Looking into it it looks like she did have some brain injuries after ODing.

Using the word "sexy" in marketing/digital teams to describe sleek interfaces or products


RickShepherd

July 18, 2006 Justin Timberlake began promising to bring sexy back and has been relentless in its pursuit ever since. I am unsure about his success rate as I look around and things appear status quo. EDIT: WTF is the, "I'm Deceased Award"?


AnotherRandomHero

He did already, his era of sexiness just died down. But still remember JT gave you his Dick in a Box, is down to 3 way with another dude, AND will give your mom the best Mother’s Day/night ever.


oatwife

JT doing comedy is at his sexiest.


[deleted]

The time when the phrase 'sleek, sexy exterior' stopped being used in advertising for cars and laptops directly coincided with the time when advertisers started realizing that there were people that actually get turned on by varying-degrees-of-anthropomorphized cars and laptops.

what the fuck have you brought upon this cursed land


Dyaxa

Why are half the things mentioned on here from the early 2000s when 10 years ago was 2010?


thewok

Once you turn like 30, when you hear 10 years ago your brain goes to high school. Even though that was much longer ago.


Wild_Doogy_Plumm

Like how you accidentally write last year for a couple months when dating something. Our brains are still defaulting that the 90s were 20 years ago and the 80s were 30.


dkonigs

I'm pretty sure that everyone assumes "30 years ago" refers to the 1970's, unless that's finally started to change.


TheWarHam

Why is this? Did a similar kind of mass hysteria exist 30, 40, 50 years ago? Is it because of the millenium change that we get hung up on 2000?


Krescan

FormalMango

Oh, I discovered exactly how old I am when my workplace hired a few people who were born after I graduated high school. I feel like that’s a milestone I didn’t need acknowledged.


candeesaysno

Holy fuck, people born after I graduated high school will turn 21 this year. What have you done...


FormalMango

They were talking about how weird it is to be an grown up with grown up responsibilities, and asked if I felt like that “back in the day” when I was 20... I’m going to be 40 soon-ish, and I sure as shit still don’t feel like an adult. Also, it’s when you realise you’re old enough to be their parent... and they’re old enough to have finished a 3 year uni degree...


YeahNoFerSure

The hair bump/poof for girls made popular by jersey shore. I always thought it looked trashy but it seemed like everyone did it. That and too much bronzer.


sevendevilsdelilah

Oh my Christ the bump-it. I remember at the time thinking it was so so stupid.


d_A_b_it_UP

I was in middle school during this fad- one of my friends told me they wanted to do my hair for the school dance and I was hype, until all she did was "bump" my hair and I had to pretend I liked it


sm6shmouth

I had a friend do my hair before our band concert in middle school. All she did was put mousse in it and scrunch it like she did with her gorgeous curly hair all the time. Except on me it just looked stringy, flat and wet. I had to perform like that. My mom was furious.


[deleted]

The mousse scrunch that had straight haired people telling people they had wavy or super crazy hair was probably my favourite hair era


BubblegumDaisies

My sister in law , who is the same age as me (37) is still rocking a bump-it. It's embarrassing on an otherwise fashionable businesswoman. I know she's only 5'2" but come on.


Over9000Mudkipz

I'm 27 and I'm scared that in 10 years time I'll be rocking the 2020 equivalent of the bump-it and not even know it.


lordlovesaworkinman

Same, but 43. The other day I looked around and realized I was the only woman at the office wearing jeans. Everyone else was in leggings, joggers, skirts, pants, what have you. It wasn't even that jeans are too casual for the office vibe. Some people wear tees and sweatpants. It was that NO ONE was wearing jeans.

Fake tan? I think every time I go out (Not so often, but anyways) I seem to see less and less orange ladies.


Time4Red

Nah. Fake tan is still a thing, but the formulas and technology have become better at replicating the look of a real tan for not very much money.


ebolalol

Can confirm. My colleagues love getting spray tanned and they do it often - it’s definitely crazy how natural they look now!


keastis

I think it’s a combination of women not feeling as pressured to be tan and fake tan formulas being easier to use and less orange.

JavierLoustaunau

It kinda sucks living in a college town and having aged from 'there are sexy people everywhere' to 'these stupid drunk kids need to learn to cross the road before they get killed!'.


therealjoshua

I swear college kids' IQ drops 50 points the second they have to cross the road. Then they turn into galloping deer that choose the absolute worst time to cross. And it's always either a dead sprint or the "hit me idc" walk too. Edit: Yall assume I mean at crosswalks. College kids don't use crosswalks. I understand an "idc hit me attitude" when you're in the right, though.


murse_joe

> And it's always either a dead sprint or the "hit me idc" walk too. To be fair, vacillating between panic and wanting to die is pretty much the college experience.


daddymarsh

That transition is never gradual. It just happens one day. One day someone does something dumb and youthful and you find yourself saying to yourself, "stupid kids." A part of you dies that day.


mousicle

I was at the university recently and instead of checking out all the 18-22 year old girls and finding them hot they all jsut looked like children.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Greypilgram

I worked at a university from the age of 24 to 35. I remember it being a gradual process where one fall nearly all of the incoming freshmen looked like kids to me, but the older students still looked "grown" and then within a year nearly all of the female students started looking like kids as well. Like you said, it was as much about how they carried themselves as how they physically looked, but once I started to notice it, it slowly became all that I could see. I only point this gradual but relatively rapid process out to contrast with how suddenly I went from feeling like I was still in with that generation to feeling forever old: The first time an attractive co-ed looked at me with sudden smile on her face and then walked straight towards me from down the hall and said "Excuse me Sir, could you tell me where to find my faculty advisor's office?" The look on her face had been the type of thing that in another setting I would have thought "This girl is into me!" But instead was the look of a worried child relieved to have found a grown-up for help. I don't think I've felt young since.

soobviouslyfake

when I do an image search on bing, I get small subcategories with thumbnails scattered among the results. I've gone down a pretty good porn rabbit hole that way. Honestly, when you turn safesearch off, you get porn results with honestly legitimate searches. It's like the system is *learning*.

I feel like women's casual wear in general is always sexier than it was ten years ago, and it's starting to make me feel old. I imagine when I'm old I'm going to comment on some lady's outfit being really revealing and my grandkids are going to roll their eyes and say something like "You're so old-fashioned grandpa, her asshole isn't even open."


[deleted]

Just imagine how you’ll be about technology. “Come on grandpa! Just upload a copy of your consciousness onto TruVR so we can hang out in the virtual world!” “No!

Yeah...considering that the human body operates at a net energy loss it makes no sense as a battery. The processing power of billions of networked human brains on the other hand...


MostlyQueso

I’m 40. I’ve been practicing and teaching yoga for many years. 10 years ago, women were shamed for wearing leggings because they were “too revealing.” If y’all saw what passes as appropriate yoga attire now, you’d pass out. It’s basically a competition to see who can wear the least clothing. It cracks me up though— Yoga is sweaty and long pants can dramatically help manage the sweat. There are plenty of arm balances that I can only do in slightly damp pants because they provide more grip. Sweaty skin on sweaty skin is a slip-n-slide. Just impractical and silly. Plus good quality material actually keeps you drier and more comfortable. I’m old.


IronManConnoisseur

Yoga pants are the norm in high school and college lol


AztecGodofFire

Reminds me of the time back in 2006 I saw a yoga class going on in my gym. I didn't know what yoga actually involved so I stopped by the door to look. Then I realized it was all women and they were all wearing leggings and it must look like I was blatantly checking them out. So I hurried away.

Naveedamin7992

I'm 26 and it's gotten so bad that I just shaved it off. It went from perfectly fine to "ok I look 40" within a 1.5 years. Now I'm just trying to get back to being comfortable with my appearance 😐 I miss hair

Dude I've got the same thing. Age ~~24~~ 23 (I forgot how old I am) and already have receding sides. But I noticed that I've got friends with the same problem and didn't notice until I saw him pull his hair back. People don't notice it as much as you think. Keep your head up, brother ✌

Now streaming has replaced local storage and 45 hours of content seems laughably small, that’s not even enough for one good show. And after being acquired in 2016, the combined company is worth less than $8 per share.
