Back in my day... We used Walkmans. Then CD's started getting big, and they were awesome and high tech. And would skip in your portable CD player whenever the car hit a bump on the road.

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

Back in my day the world was actually black and white.

No joke, I thought the world was literally black & white in the 1800s when I was 5 years old.

Anyway: Back in my day, we used blank VHS tapes to record our favorite shows.

Back in my day, Dorito's 3D was a thing

back in my day I felt like hot [parasitic bomb] for having a DVD player and HD television

this is literally all I know about Funcoland. I am glad it was before my time and/or probably not in my country.

Back in my day... we didn't do this here new-fangled lattice multiplication.  And back in my day, our teachers could spell properly and use proper grammar.

Seriously, Mt. Holly Springs Elementary.  Stop aggravating my OCD because you can't spell "graham crackers" on the menu.  And my nephew's teacher?  Apostrophes denote a possessive form.  When you are referring to "students" plural, you do not write it as "student's!"  This is seriously simple [parasitic bomb].

Back in my day, Piracy was more serious.

Whelp, guess I never that happen in my day.

Speaking of which, WAY back in my day, video game consoles only served one purpose.

Back in my day, clearing a video game was kinda emotional on me.

Back in my day, we used the all-powerful blow method.  And if that didn't work, the all-powerful lick method.

Back in my day, I was actually excited to watch TV. Now it's filled with so many shitty programs.

Hey in 2008 some people thought flip phones would be used in 2011.

Back in my day Apple was just a brand of computers.

I only need to use that for image and video transfers from my phone. ^^;

Back in my days, pixel animated cut scenes (example CD-based games) were more appealing to look at.
