My mum tried to ban me from watching South Park before South Park made fun of exactly that.
I wasn't banned from watching South Park when it started. Even my 3 -year-old at the time brother was allowed to watch it with me. But I was banned from watching Ren and Stimpy several years earlier which disappointed me at the time but in hindsight I support wholeheartedly.
Can vaguely remember the Berlin Wall falling. All the adults seemed to think it was really important.

What is that?
That's a portable CD player with a tape adapter in its headphone jack. The tape is the played by the tape deck of your car stereo. This is for when you didn't have a brand new car with a CD player in the dash or the trunk, but you still had a portable CD player.
Ahhhh I see now— for a moment for me it looked like one of those AI gen images where it looks like something but the closer you look it isn’t anything— used to have a tape to aux converter in my car for this purpose.

Waiting for your favourite song to be played on the radio and pressing record and pause on the cassette recorder at the exact right time. Massive feelings of win.

I was alive for 9/11 but have no memory of it

I was there, at Cape Canaveral, in the audience, when Challenger exploded. I had just finished Jr. Space Camp, and decided that if stuff like that was gonna happen while I was around NASA, then maybe I should look for an alternative career path.
I loved the star wars films that came out while I was a child, but the ones that were made after that are really bad.
