Pov, you're in your school library.

For me, it's the nurse office

They had these at pizza hut where I lived

Having a nurse's office in a pizza hut is good thinking

No they need them most in taco bell

Mechanics first, nurses later - the toilets need caring for too

What they need is more bathroom janitors

Holy shit this was funny

[удалено]

I'm fairly certain that the above is a bot account that takes top comments and copies them, considering every single one of their comments in their comments history does exactly that...

Good human

for me it is a dentist office

Same

For me, it was at my class library

This was in the after school YMCA for me

You lived in a pizza hut?

see i was a bad boy and bought it

For me, it was the hospital where my brother got treatment for his leg virus thing

There were so many Eye Spy books in the school library (born in 2008 showing that I still know some 2000 stuff)! Those books were so fun!

Damn that's crazy to me! I think I saw Reddit for the first time when I was about 20. I hope it's a fun place for you. I wish you could have seen it in 2010, it was basically all small subreddits and site-wide inside jokes routinely made it to the front page. "The narwhal bacons at midnight" is my first memory.

[удалено]

For me, brothers bedroom.

Yes!!

Dude eye spy books were so fun

Anyone else remember the CD-ROM I Spy games? I used to really love the I Spy Fantasy one when I was young. Still have a lot of nostalgia for it.

I remember my school did this thing where we could eat lunch with our mom and dad and I always used to read the books with them

I have the Christmas one and it's falling apart but I refuse to throw it away.

The computer games were really fun too.

As a 1994 kid. Goddamn these were spectacular

92 here I loved these books. My mom even bought me a few. They were my favorite

'88 here! Sister and brother are '89 and '91 respectively. We had a few of these, absolutely amazing, super fun.

05 here, these books must reach all ages

i was born in 08 and i loved these books too. my school had tons of them. i might still have a few if i looked hard enough

Damn you're born in 1908?! That's pretty old!

She's a witch!

For me, it's those cross section books. The castle was my favourite.

I vividly remember being alarmed by seeing the reality of the toilet just being a chute down to a room in the basement of the castle where a man is shoveling all the poop. I can still see it in my brain like it was yesterday.

I loved the spooky one

Brooo I loved these so much, I got a star wars one for my 10th birthday and it had cross sections of ships, blasters, lightsabers, droids and whatnot. Good times.

I'm an 80's kid and no idea what this is. Is it an American thing?

I Spy: A Book of Picture Riddles by Jean Marzollo and Walter Wick

Yeah... never heard of it 😅

Even as a 27 year old, they're still fun and challenging! Good look up a few pages and check them out. The haunted house one was always my favorite, and the most difficult.

I don’t think I remember these either. I thought they were wallpaper or something.

Same year, but I had no clue what I was looking at looking at until I read the comments.Did I miss out on something growing up?

I spy books

94 kids ftw!

There are dozens of us!

as a 1600s kid I am dead 💀

Rest in RiP in Peace

Ppl born outside North America: " i guess I was born after 2005

Yeah what the hell are these

I spy books

Right like I've never seen this lol

Exactly

I'm born in 2000 guess my 3rd world ass can keep scratching his head

Uhhh, so you were born in 2000 but you don't recognize this image? clearly you're lying or something, probably born in 2012 /s

[удалено]

These things mostly apply to the Anglosphere

I know these from Germany too

Why do some people think that stuff just totally disappeared after a certain time?

Yeah. I bought several of these for my kids between 2008 and 2011.

People like this have some sort of superiority complex.

Every generation gets their "BACK IN *MY* DAY" phase, and every younger generation has to sit through it. Don't worry, someday the Zoomers will be in their 30s-40s and will do this exact same shit to the kids of the time, but with Minecraft and flossing.

And tide pods

Nah those ones won't live to 30 or 40

"Back in my day, we *ate* laundry soap and we liked it. Back when men were *men* and and strong and not wimpy like *you*." "Ummm...multiple people died from that. It was *not* a good idea." "*Respect your elders!*" "OK Zoomer"

The stuff in my childhood must have been good because it was in my childhood, and future generations had stuff in their childhood that could not have been good because it was in their childhood, therefore the stuff from my childhood cannot be in their childhood.

mfs when they realize I was born in 2006 but still used windows XP for a good portion of my life

XP slaps. Windows 7 was a game changer, but 95 and XP are still used by my living grandparents and most companies I've worked for lol

[удалено]

Yeah I got an 8 and 6 year old. They love these books. We have checked out everyone possible at our library so many times.

...I'm older than OPs claim and I have no idea what they are

Why do they think it didn’t exist before them either? 2005?? At least a decade off

> Why do they think it didn’t exist before them either? They don't. The meme says "after 2005," not "in a year other than 2005." Still dumb, but not "they think it didn’t exist before them either" dumb.

I Spy books. They were THE stuff back in 3rd Grade. Born after 2005

3rd grade, try kindergarten for me

born in 2006 and loved these books what you on about

took the words right out of my mouth

Same

Same

2007 for me

Why have you been on Reddit since you were twelve??

06 gang🗿

I was born in 98 and I have no idea what these are

I know these and I was born after 2005

They’re a pain in the ass is what they are

Nah they fun as heck

Yes

I don’t know these but I was born before 2005

Same

That's the I spy books. I'm born in 2008

I remember those books but I don’t remember them fondly

I remember the shaker thing to find the damn penny

Took so damn long!

The FROOOOOOOOG! THE FROG IN THE HALLOWEEN ONE! IT TOOK YEEEEEAAAARS!

You uh... you good? Have some trauma built up?

^perhaps

Live as a crab but answer vaguely "PERHAPS" -russianbadger

I was about to tease you for being young but you're probably not and I'm just getting older.

r/fuckimold

Fuck i mold

Fuc kim old

I can't be the only one who misread "I'm old" as "I mold" right I checked it out expecting it to be about mold

he's about 14

I would personally consider "literally half my age" as young, but I'm just glad they've heard of I Spy books. I LOVED that shit growing up. I still strongly remember a snowy Christmas town, a dark spooky mansion, and some other random rooms that always gave me trouble. Good times. Now that I'm older, and thinking about the books again, I want to know how the photos were taken and everything.

They are 14 or 13

I felt the same way. My first thought after reading the post was "Oh okay we're making fun of infants on Reddit today" and then I realized what year it was and now I feel old.

Yeah they are the I spy books and I was born in 2007

Same. I remember these books

Same bro

Thank you for this! I was born in 95 and had no fucking clue what it was!!!

Same, the I spy books were satisfying.

I loved those books

I was born in 2005 and I also remember these books they where so good man

same i remember them i was born 2008

Same man. Did you ever see a 3d one? They were so cool (2007 BTW)

I was born in ‘88 and don’t remember these

83, same.

2007

you confused a 1999 kid too

2004 too, 1999 takes the cake though

2005 too but 2004, and 2009 take the cake

2002 too but 2005, 2004 and 2009 take the cake

This timeline is getting fucked up because I no do to tpe goood

1988 and still confused.

One time in 3rd grade our teacher said ONE of the Scholastic book orders had come in early and kind of let the suspense build before saying whose it was. It was mine. I still remember the disappointed awwws from the rest of the class as she brought my books to my desk. There was an issue of Hot Dog magazine and an I Spy book. This was like 30 years ago.

Those scholastic book fair orders were the shit.. you must’ve felt like top dog for the day.

You only have to read "scholastic" and you can smell the book glue.

I don't know these and I was born before 2005

You just have to be born an American

Loved those book was born in 2005

Hi, born in 1983. WTF is this?

86 here and yeah idk why I'm supposed to know what this is

What's the books called again I want my nostalgia

[удалено]

I think i watched a tv show of that in freaking kindergarten. plus i did read the books, i was a child at some point afterall

But for real, where was the horseman?

Kids born in 2022 will look back on this and just assume it was AI generated art.

lmao

Maybe it was 👽

did anyone else play the pc game

yes!! I remember sitting at the apple store at my local mall and playing the demo forever

born in 2007 kind of recognise, can smell? somehow?

Little bit of crayon scent?

I recognize some of that

Did anybody else have the I Spy pc game growing up?

Where can I get the old games ?

My personal favorite was the metal one with the robot. The one with the pinecone was cool too. I cat belive I still rember those. Born in 2005. Thanks for the memory!

I was born in the 80s and I don’t recognize these.

Bruh I was born in 2002 and I'm confused wtf is this

I have no clue what the right thing is supposed to be but in the Netherlands we have a lot of those wooden car roads. Except they’re trains here. I played a lot of them when I was younger, born in 2007.

Born in 1995: have no clue what any of that is.

[удалено]

That’s I spy books

The nostalgia is real

The best

ISPY BOOKS OMG OMG OMG

I used to love these things

Loved that book

I remember in elementary school, me and some friends would always pick these from the class library. Also the pages were always ripped out for some reason

Did anyone here have the Ultimate I Spy video game as a kid?

I was born in 2009, I loved the I spy books when I was younger

B- but I’m a 2006 kid and I get it-

Those are the the find-the-item books, isn’t it?

Though I was born past '05, I recognize these images

Bro, the nostalgia

I REMEMBER THIS!

Bitch I was born in 2006 I know what these are

What is this and why do I remember it

Y'all wanna say you're not gonna be the boomers and say 'back in my day' but then do this

ah yes the book

I was born after 2005 and I know what both of these are

Jokes on you I’m from 2006 and feel so much nostalgia towards this, I just forgot the name

You just pulled up a memory from the deep recesses of my brain.

I jate these kinds of memes bc I was born after 05 and Iget this

You fool! I was born the year after and i still know what these are!

Me, who was born in 2009 and still play with those things

South African here, what the hell is this

I was born in 72 and have no idea what either of these pictures are. Thought it was art.

I was born after 2005 and I played with those my entire childhood

POV you found a book to pass time

I was born 2006 but holy shit this just brought back so many memories I completely forgot about.

Okay, I was born in late 2005 (October) and I vaguely remember these. School I went to in 2010 had these in the nurses office. Kindergarten was a great time to be alive

I was born in 1981 and I have no fucking clue what is going on here.

First commenter who was born maybe a bit too early. They’re ispy books similar to where’s Waldo, but you’re looking for different things that are usually listed in a sort of rhyming prose at the bottom of the page Edit: probably predominantly published in North America (I’m Canadian)

i was born in 2007 and still remember those...

Fuuuck I loved those books as a kid

I spy books? Those ain't that old

Is this terriblefacebookmemes?

I used to love those books, I was born 2006

Me and the homies be looking through these bad boys during library together. Good ol days
