(CNN)Children continue to eat a dangerously large number of laundry detergent packets, new data show.

Calls to poison control centers increased 17% from 2013 through 2014, according to an analysis of national poison data published Monday in the journal Pediatrics.
More than 22,000 children, mostly under age 3, were exposed to laundry packets in that period. About 30% of them were "already in or en route" to health care facilities when the call for help came in.

It seems really insufferable based on that image everyone keeps posting but I imagine RPO could work as a movie where every reference isn't explicitly spelled out for you.

that would just be a typical movie

youre probably right that decades are getting blurred wrt whatevers popular. all i know is that early 90s was a lot of neon and now it's hitler youth and man bun haircuts. 2000 - 2010 has no identity for me

I definitely wouldn't say the 90s have a lot in common with now. Having a gay person with AIDS on a TV show was like a huge thing, the internet was still a thing for computer nerds, you could still make a decent living as a musician without being a Beyonce tier artist, no one even thought about terrorism, etc etc

If you want something done, do it yourself!
the last two movies i saw in the theater were both set in 2003 and they all but confirm that there really is not any distinct identity to the early 00s, which jibes with what i remember

computer monitors were fatter, phones had smaller screens and flipped open, but that's about it. cars looked the same as they do now; fashion trends might as well be the same; the music sounds the same

in the 90s wb created a superhero that derived his powers from the internet

his family likely saw it as child abduction, which was a common fear of the internet at that time

in the late 1970s there was a big nostalgia for the largely-imagined good old days of the 1950s, as seen with things like grease and happy days

rp1 is extremely racist wrt asians (honorable urtra-manu-san) and super duper misogynist (the protagonist was scared his internet girlfriend was fat but she just had a scar, bullet dodge)

Future RP1:

It was a chilly fall day, just like every day since yesterday. The leaves swirled around like a million multicolored spidermen lilting drunkenly through the finger family song. In an alley nearby, charlie brown was pissing in garfield's refrigerator, angry that he got his period before the rest of his class. SlayQueen TayTay had seen it all before. "I wonder if I'm gay?" Ronald McDonald Trump ejaculated from a telememe screen floating next to the Uber4One jitney. She was ready to make money moves, it wasn't me shakirashakira.
