Artifacts of when they had money, either because they once had a better job or got a decent tax return one year, like the best stereo or tv you can buy in 2004.

To this day I have sour grapes about Disneyland/world from never getting to go as a kid. drat that one hit me.

I legit don't see the appeal of going as an adult though.
my parents were kinda confused that my younger brother and I expressed no desire to go to Disneyland, despite being clearly aware of it and privileged enough to do so. I didnt go until grad nite in my senior year of highschool, and you know what, it was aight.

They have a significant amount of merch from county fairs, but always the scummier/smaller county fairs instead of the good one.
and whats weird about this is that I have incredibly good memories of the county fairs. All the knock off stuff and overuse of neon lights and the tackiness of everything makes it incredibly special. The very real mishmash of stuff of varying quality (and safety) creates a much more immersive and real ambience than any big theme park. Actually really bummed out that covid basically assures that the county fair is not happening this year.

Just wear the fucking mask, Bob

I don't care how many people I probably infected with COVID-19 while refusing to wear a mask, my comfort is far more important than the health and safety of everyone around me!

My poor kid friend when I was young, they let their dog poop in the basement instead of taking it outside. It would bark, they'd open the basement door and it'd run down there and take a poo poo.

So when we went down in the basement to play with the train set, there were a couple months of dog turds on the floor. Like someone spilled a barrel of milk duds. There were pathways going to the washer and dryer and to the room where the train set was.

Also the train room had early 90's porno magazine centerfolds hung up all over the walls.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Personal butler robot can only travel in 5 dimensions, not 6.

The floor changes color based on your body temperature but you recognize all of the colors, they haven't upgraded to the "next level" color set yet.

The living human beings who hold up the second floor are slightly out of shape with visible body hair or acne.

Their garden only produces 3 or 4 formerly extinct fruit or vegetables, and they limit how many of them you can eat anyway.

trust me, I'm a cat.

Mix of own experience and observed ones:

Wearing exclusively clothes bought in thrift stores/second-hand

No-name brand shoes bought on a market

Buying stale bread and "refreshing" it over stove. Kaiser buns are reserved for Dad and picky-eater sibling

Buying food in bulk packages

Chips and Coca-cola only on birthdays

Rare electronic devices manufactured by mysterious companies like Watson, Manta or PanaSony

Only the smallest Lego sets

Cotton swabs are cut in half

Books are pocket sized, trash paper editions or just Harlequins/SAS/nordic sagas

TV is always on

Obsessed with Jew-masonry and political mafia

Horse racing memorabilia

Cupboard filled with glass ornaments and pictures of the Pope

Plastic, glow-in-the-dark crucifixes

Mustard and Nutella glasses

Actually, only with time I started appreciating how, despite relatively low income and plenty of difficult life arrangements, my parents were somehow keeping us from utter trashyness and plain old hunger.

Still remember when I changed primary school to an upper-class one (due to mentioned life arrangements), and nearly every kid had a cell phone, brand new Adidas/Nike/FuBu clothes and Gameboy or Discman, and I was wearing old, sometimes misgendered clothes. :smith:
