I’m not the kind of person who says “kids today don’t know how easy they’ve got it!” because frankly, I don’t think kids today have it easy AT ALL.
I mean, yeah, sure, they never had to suffer the excruciating pain that was dial-up internet, but they also never experienced, like, hope. So I’d say it all comes out in the wash.
On a lighter note, though, it can be a lot of fun to compare and contrast yesterday to today, and the best way to do that is just to get all nostalgic scrolling through Twitter, a thing we DIDN’T EVEN HAVE BACK IN THE DAY! YOU DANG KIDS! YOU GOT IT SO GOOD!
10. The skinny jeans
Surely science can find us a happy medium between these extremes.

8. Happy brunch
What kind of chaotic nightmare world was that place?
high school really had us drinking milk with hamburgers at 11:30AM

7. Fair enough
I don’t know why I always get so excited to look through there, there’s literally nothing of value to me, ever.

6. Fishy go boom
I’m genuinely terrified at the age at which peoples’ lives become public broadcasts now.

5. Yummy gummy
They just wormed their way into all of our hearts, didn’t they?

4. Assault and battery
Dropping your phone SHOULDN’T break it now, just buy a case, dang.
remember that point in time when dropping your phone didn’t break it but instead the back of it fell off and the battery fell out and you just had to put it back on.

3. Gone with the wind
Prepare to be utterly and thoroughly broken, air currents.
