Websters defines [img]C:/coolpix/Goatse.jpg[/img] nostalgia as "a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations."

I thought this would be a cool idea for a thread. Post content you enjoyed or just remember from your earlier years. Theme songs, toys, movies, anything that makes you feel things.

As a kid I used to love these:



gumball machines that make the gumball go down a slide or whatever. They were even better when instead of a little spiral slide they made the gumball go through like a Rube Goldberg setup, but those were pretty rare.

Flipstick, guaranteed to freak out your mom, no surprise why I had to beg gramma for one. It was like a police baton with hard rubber balls on both ends that you could throw around the house. You could get some amazing combination bounces if it didn’t strike along the shaft and if it didn’t hit something soft like a cushion or ya know, a lamp or framed picture or other things parents don’t want smashed.

No, seriously, I broke my tongue wide open with these things buying them from blockbuster video, but that's a whole nother post. I still miss them. Shocktarts were the gateway drug.

Edit: thanks everyone for participating. poo poo ain't the best these days and I want this thread to be a source of joy for everyone, be healthy and safe and look out for your loved ones' mental health

Did you know this cartoon was based off a couple of books, which presented themselves as sort of general interest "documentary" books on the life of gnomes? The author has supposedly studied the life and ways of gnomes and interviewed them too and the books paint a rather complete fictional universe. The books are full of lovely drawings too, in the same style as the cartoons but with a lot of attention to detail.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

Holy poo poo this awakened a long-dormant set of memories in my brain. These toys are apparently called "Capsela" and they're cool as gently caress.
