Millennials Will Definitely Remember These Things

Millennials are defined as anyone born between 1981 and 1996. We get a lot of heat for ruining basically everything but really all we want to do is escape from the pressures of adulting by seeking comfort in the memories of our childhood.

If you’re a Millennial looking for a moment of escape, see if you remember these 13 things that contributed to Millennial childhood experience.

1. So satisfying:

Like returning a library book.

2. Ah, youth:

Field trips = school sanctioned adventures.

3. I’m parched:

These will go great with our Hercules plates.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

4. Idk about this one:

I remember the texture of these being…weird.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

5. I still miss this:

The best phones have physical keyboards.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

6. The good old days:

Back when the playground equipment could give you splinters for days…

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

7. Simpler times:

…and building with these bricks made you feel super strong.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

8. Try blowing on it:

Do you see a scratch?

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

9. Why don’t we still have this?

Forget ball pits! I want to race Mario carts!

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

10. Ice, ice baby:

Stay frosty.

11. The evolution of the mixtape:

And the best gift for your current crush.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

12. Let there be light:

There once was a time where not every device was backlit.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

13. I can’t explain it:

But I remember.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

Ah, that’s better. As Millennials we get a bad rap, but honestly, I think we’re lucky. We were lucky to grow up when we did. We got to experience the world before and after the turn of the millennium, and the rise of social media. And no matter how stressful life gets, we’ll always have those memories to keep us going.

Which one of these memories gives you the warm fuzzies? Let us know in the comments!

People Share the Most Embarrassing Things That Someone Could Find on Their Computers

We are NOT talking about adult materials in this article, so if that’s what you came for, sorry to disappoint you.

But we are gonna hear from a lot of folks who have some stuff on their machines that might make you cringe or even feel a little bit sorry for them.

What is the most embarrassing item someone could find on your computer?

Here’s what folks on AskReddit had to say.

1. Micromanaging.

“A game of The Sims in which I made all of my friends and micromanaged their lives like a little puppet show.

I know I’m not the only one, but still… having to explain why I have very purposefully made certain people hook up would not reflect well on me, I suspect, especially given that their longtime partner didn’t make the ‘Let’s include you in the game’ cut.”

2. This could be interesting.

“My Penguins of Madagascar fan fiction.”

3. You’re not alone.

“All the stupid crap I bought from Amazon over the last six months.”

4. May I ask why?

“I have a folder of reaction images that are just Ben Affleck looking sad.”

5. Oh, boy…

“A one-minute file of me singing “Unchained Melody” on our family desktop from when I was 8.”

6. My songs.

“There are three songs I wrote as a teenager.

At the time, I thought they were awesome. I recently listened to them again. Uh, not so much.

It turns out that lofi generic techno with pre-made loops and random sounds scattered throughout isn’t very good.”

7. Nothing wrong with that.

“I write stories on and off and have tons of character sheets saved in my notes.

I know it’s really tame but I’m super self conscious of my writing.”

8. That’s…different.

“My Word doc containing detailed information concerning every gas purchase I’ve made since the Clinton Administration.”

9. Good ol’ Reddit.

“My Reddit account has to be up there.

Too much karma to be able to wave that off as a normal relationship with the site. Way too much karma.

It’s linked to my pen name, which is linked to my romance novels. They’re not porn — the smutty-smut is separate — but I still don’t want my mother reading them.

Does anyone want their Reddit account to be public knowledge?”

10. The gift that keeps on giving.

“My YouTube history showing how many times I’ve fallen for a Rick Roll.”

11. Motivational.

“I write myself a bunch of positive messages and motivational snippets all over my sticky notes so when I open my laptop in the morning, they are the first thing I see.

The one in the upper left corner is what my brother said when I fell over rollerskating as a kid – it hurts now, but it won’t hurt forever. Another note is from one of my first patients, who said I was the first doctor who stopped and really listened to her.

Some are just nice messages from myself to remind me that I can only try my best on tough days, and I’m more than a rejected paper or unanswered text.”

12. You have a spreadsheet?

“My spreadsheet showing my s*x life for the past 26 years.

But first they’d have to break my 17 digit password to unlock the file.”

13. Let’s see it!

“A video of me that I filmed when I was 12 years old.

I was wearing a skirt and dancing to I’m a Barbie girl. I’m a 28 years old man.”

14. Nerd alert!

“The long list of D&D memes and my spending history for them that consists of 80% dice that I won’t need and 15%books and 5% character sheets.”

Okay, now it’s your turn.

In the comments, tell us about what embarrassing things we’d find on your computer.

Spill your guts to us!

Things That Millennials Did for the Last Time

Where are all the Millennials at? Gen Y (as in “Why were we dealt this crappy hand?”) is in the house.

Only true Millennials can appreciate these 11 things Millennials did, that we will never do again. In some cases, for the better, in others…well, let’s just say kids today can’t appreciate how much simpler things were back in the day.

1. Take the packaging off of a brand new CD:

Such a satisfying feeling. That plastic was slippery.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

2. Play outside with friends:

A little part of me just died inside.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

3. Replace dead batteries w/ partially used batteries:

You want to get your moneys worth!

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

4. Log into AIM:

*sound of a door opening*

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

5. Log into Myspace:

Who’s in your top 8?

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

6. Use T9 to send a text:

I don’t miss this.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

7. Find a toy in your box of cereal:

When did plastic spoons that change color in milk stop being cool?!

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

8. Burn a Mix CD:

Mix CDs were the best gifts.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

9. Print out your MapQuest directions:

Mom wouldn’t let me leave home without this.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

10. Watch a VHS tape:

Jokes on you! I still have all of my bootleg VHS tapes!

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

11. REWIND that VHS tape:

True dat.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

Now I’m feeling all the feels.

You whipper snappers may have Disney+ but I had an entire collection of bootleg VHS tapes. Pus Myspace wasn’t nearly as addictive as social media is today, and you certainly didn’t want your parents getting one. Ah, oh well. At least we have the memories.

My fellow Millennials, which one of these do you relate to most?

Let us know in the comments!

Here Are Some Things That Only Millennials Will Appreciate

I may be on the cusp of Millennial-hood, but I’ll claim this identity proudly. Let the world hate us. At least we have brunch.

Now that we’ve killed just about everything worthwhile (sorry American cheese), it’s time to sit back and revel in our us-ness.

Here’s 10 things that only Millennials will appreciate.

1. Ah, yes:

Is it bad that I still don’t know what this is?

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

2. Checking movie times in the newspaper:

Remember print media?

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

3. Why?

Because we could.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

4.Using LimeWire to download music:

We were so cool.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

5. Renting movies from Blockbuster:

This used to be a staple of my daily life.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

6. Listening to new music through headphones in the store:

Going to the store to buy music. What a time.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

7. When it seemed every teacher had these in their class:

Or those strawberry candies in the strawberry wrapping.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

8. I’m not going to tell you what that is:

If you’re truly a Millennial, you’ll know.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

9. Always rewind before returning to the store:

It’s just common curtesy.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

10. Landlines:

I genuinely do miss the feeling of a REAL phone in my hand. Not a tiny computer.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

The best thing about being a Millennial isn’t the crushing student loan debt or the fact that people think we’re lazy despite the fact that a lot of us have multiple jobs just to get by. The best part of being a Millennial is the fact that we knew the world before.

We straddle he gap between millenniums. So we can appreciate a VHS tape just as much as the newest Apple product.

Which one of these do you relate to the most? Let us know in the comments!

A TikTok User Filmed Her Ride of Space Mountain With the Lights on and People Are Freaked Out

Roller coasters provide park-goers with a rush of adrenaline that keeps them coming back for more. Match that with the magical production value of Disney Parks and you have yourself the vacation of a lifetime.

But what if that magical production value were to disappear? Have you ever considered what it would feel like to ride an indoor roller coater ride without the lights and the music?

This is exactly what happened to TikTok user @ashleyofpeeee when she rode Space Mountain.

Photo Credit: Wikimedia Commons

Space Mountain is a staple of the Disney World experience.

Having first opened in 1975, Space Mountain is the oldest operating roller coaster in the state of Florida.

You’ll find it located in Tomorrowland, within the Magic Kingdom.

Those who’ve ridden Space Mountain before will know it is an entirely indoor roller coaster, usually experienced in space-like darkness with flashing lights for effect. See the video below for the full ride, lights off.

I’ve ridden Space Mountain once in my life, as a little kid. All I remember is closing my eyes tight the entire time and praying for it to be over as soon as possible.

But riding it with the lights on would be a completely different experience…

Image Credit: TikTok

@ashleyhopeeeeI FREAKED OUT. The lights were on when we went to space mountain!! ? ##MagicMoment ##disneyworld ##spacemountain♬ original sound – disney aesthetic

From her video, we see the tail-end of her Space Mountain experience, with the lights on.

This reveals a web of tracks and scaffolding.

To me, riding Space Mountain with the lights on would be preferable. It would be a lot less scary to know what’s coming, I think, but it looks like I’m in the minority.

Image Credit: TikTok

But isn’t it interesting to see how the roller coaster is put together?

Isn’t this a treat? Peeking behind the curtain to see the inner workings?

Apparently not.

Image Credit: TikTok

All the commenters agree that this ride is scarier with the lights ON, but I still think it would be really cool to ride Space Mountain this way.

A few years back, Theme Park University released a video of the full Space Mountain with the lights on.

Can you handle this, or is it too creepy?

Watching this video of Space Mountain with the lights on actually has me itching to ride a roller coaster, and I don’t even really like them.

Getting to see the inner workings of this ride has helped me better appreciate all the hard work that went into creating it. Plus, with the lights on you know when to duck!

Could you handle Space Mountain with the lights on, or is it took unnerving? Let us know in the comments!

The Basket App Tells You the Best Place to Buy Your Groceries

If your house is like mine, you’ve watched your grocery bill go up, up, and up some more as everyone has been forced to eat, work, sleep, and play at home more often than not.

It’s more important to most of us than ever, then, and the Basket app is here to make sure you’re getting the very best deal for your money.

If you download the app and the sign up/log in, you can choose all of the nearby grocery stores that you’re willing to visit for your shopping trip. You add your items to one basket, then the app will show you the cost of the items at each store, but will also compare the total price of your basket depending on location.

Image Credit: Basket.com

So, if you want to visit more than one store to get all of the best deals, you can.

Or if you want to go for the cheapest overall basket, you can do that too – though you’ll want to take into consideration how far you have to go to shop, too (if you’re not ordering online, all the time at this point).

Image Credit: basket.com

The prices are submitted by other Basket users, by scanning products in the store or entering prices manually in the app.

Prices could change, items could be out of stock by the time you order, etc – nothing is perfect.

Image Credit: basket.com

That said, this app makes things way easier than running around town, not knowing which stores have the best deals until you get there to see them in person.

No matter how you choose to shop, the Basket app gives you all of the information you need to make the most informed decision possible, and if you ask me, that’s pretty cool.

Funny Before-And-After Photos From Extremely Literal Photoshop Artists

Everyone has their “thing,” and in the world today, finding a way to stand out definitely isn’t easy. And while some people choose to do that by being the very best at their chosen hobby or profession, others like this guy who is a Photoshop master, decide to go a bit of a different way.

Can’t say for sure behind the masks, though.

That makes someone a bad boy, right?

I don’t think this is what she meant, though.

He makes a dashing deer, though.

Those poor plants.

But not at all attractive.

2. I don’t know if he nailed the “more classy” request.

But they’re not in the background anymore.

1. The hands don’t look awkward anymore.

There are other things to explain now, though.
