I used to do that as a kid, too. In my 20s, I was prescribed a "new, powerful" antibiotic for an inner ear infection, that after taking 2 pills, made all the skin on my palms and soles of my feet to peel off. I could hardly walk or touch anything because it felt like my hands and feet were on fire. I described it to the doctor as when we put glue on our hands, then peeled it off! That antibiotic (Duracef) was over $100 (back in the 80s, no insurance). The doc just shrugged and prescribed a $4 prescription for Erythromycin. Of course, there was no refund for the unused Duracef. 😡

[@unlikeavirgin]

I didn’t like Dukes of Hazard because it wasn’t escapism for me. 😆

[@johns9652]

I remember once John Schneider was being interviewed on a tv show in the 80s, think it was Real People or maybe That's Incredible. Anyway, the host interviewing him obviously had NO clue what the show was about, because John was explaining how they went through so many General Lee's in each filming. At the end he says "Keep doing those General Lees." Wow, I just tried to look up that interview so I could try to help my memory of what show that was on, and found some articles about the FBI investigating John because he made some remarks about Biden. I don't remember anybody investigating Kathy Griffin when she made a model of Trump's severed head, but John says Biden should be hung if he committed treason, and they're throwing him to the wolves.

[@Ninjanimegamer]

Good stuff! @15:51 it's a cable TV box that had a cord. We found a hack for that box back in the day and got free channels. What you did was pry the top from the bottom and on the right side, that wheel then could be manipulated beyond it's "stops" and tuned to Showtime, HBO, even the Playboy Channel. Our HS not only had typing class but shorthand, home economics, cooking and drafting classes (70's)

[@AkornzStash]

You are Correct! 🏆 I can't remember about economics, but we had typing, drafting, and cooking. I remember cooking class because it was a required course. If they had that today, they would just have a microwave and tv dinners 😂 Glad you're enjoying the videos! Thanks for Watching!

13:30 true, cursive is not taught at my school. It's felt that keyboarding is more relevant.

Nope, can't just carry them out of a store or a house without detection.

There actually WAS a Nintendo game with memory. Legend of Zelda could save games. After my brother and I spent our entire winter break to nearly clear the whole game, in a moment of frustration, he kicked it and it lost all the memory. We both freaked out and my mom returned the whole Nintendo which freaked us out even more. 12 years later my brother and I were able to track down a console and the game and we finally cleared it providing some much needed closure. There was also the time I cleared Karateka and bolted out the sliding patio door to announce it, not realizing the screen door was closed.

Of course there are over 100 islands/atolls in the chain, so it could be one of them. But the show says it's an uncharted island, which by that point all the islands are charted.

"Drive"by the Cars or "Sister Christian" by Night Ranger . Getting an Atari for XMAS was by far one of the coolest things I remember. My Orange & White Huffy w/ the Banana seat that my parents helped me to buy in 1977 was cool too and later my ten speed which I rode everywhere, summer / winter you name it. I had the Atari, a few years later my brother got the Nintendo and I remember kids were crazy about Mario Bros and collecting Pokemon cards & POGS! My parents went nuts trying to find my sister a Cabbage Patch doll and she loved the smurfs! I was old school, Partridge Family, Brady Bunch, Starsky & Hutch, Barney Miller, One Day at a Time, Welcome Back Kotter, M.A.S.H., TAXI, Love Boat and all the rest. Oh yeah, I almost forgot...Time to make the donuts!

Dodgeball had two modes: easy mode, in elementary school, and survival mode, in high school. I have heard college students in the 80’s played a version called “dog ball” that was an extreme rules game.

😂 Gargamel 😂 we used to play murder ball. Or wall ball, you stand along the wall and people whip the smaller red balls at you. If you catch it and don't go to the nurse, you switch positions.

[@AkornzStash]

You are Correct on both! 🏆🏆 _"mrder ball"_ 😂 For some reason, 1967 was like the "Peak" year for All cars. From 1970 forward, it seems like car designs went down hill imo. I always wanted a '67 Mustang Fastback. Glad you are Enjoying the Videos! Thanks for Watching!

[@shaggyrebel8737]

Might be Gen Z but I still get most of this. I came up poor and rural but hand me downs were fire, running around in the woods with a .22 and coming sunset to play on the NES was dope, IK what real food is, I even got to grow up reading comics from the 70s and 80s when other kids were talking about phones and iPods. The best part of it all is that I confuse other older zoomers when I flex a skill like cursive writing, working on cars, good scratch cooking, or even having manners and decency.😂

[@LA_HA]

To quote my Gen X relatives when I say this, "Well, you still can't sit with us. But, you can sit at the table next to ours." Hahaha

[@Ninjanimegamer]

I think many gen z kids know about these things, because gen xers could never let these things go. Millennials ruined themselves with instant everything and social media. Gen z's are bringing things back to a more simple lifestyle. Flip phones, Polaroid cameras, record players, tape and CD players are making a comeback. We used to say Gen x is built stronger, tougher, better and made to last...and it still holds true today.

[@LA_HA]

@@Ninjanimegamer Never let these things go? How so? Not arguing. Just curious

[@kerim.peardon5551]

Gargamel was the evil wizard always after the Smurfs. Add to the childhood trauma pack Bambi and especially Ol' Yeller. Even though they were from a previous generation, they were still showing them to us as kids in the 80's. People used to believe in showing kids horrible things that made them cry and have nightmares as like an introduction to the real world--something to make them toughen up and grow up. Maybe they weren't wrong.

[@AkornzStash]

You are Correct! 🏆 And no, they must not have been wrong if today generation is any example. sad to see how things have went the way they have. Thanks for Watching!

[@Ninjanimegamer]

Disney hated his parents; especially his mom. That's why parents were killed, whipped and trampled (Dumbo's mom) shot (Bambi's mom), or died in some way (snow white, Cinderella, belle, jasmine etc). The excuse was made that things happen and are part of life, but Disney wasn't a nice person either. He certainly had his own issues.

[@Ninjanimegamer]

​@@AkornzStashtoday's generation is because of how they were raised...by us gen xers. As kids, we were told to get out of the house and not to come home until the street lights came on. We were left home alone from kindergarten on up, because school got out and parents worked. We were left in the car while mom did grocery shopping. These conditions are considered neglect today. So we had to change our parenting style to fit into what society deemed ok. Besides, most of these scenarios actually led to deaths/injuries of children and enough incidents were being reported forcing the new laws to happen. I would never leave my kid alone in a car, but my mom did that to us a lot. We did get dehydrated and too hot or cold depending on the weather. Men approached us and we had to lean on the horn. Did these things happen to all kids, maybe not, but it was happening. Parents went from ignoring their kids to over protecting them and that's the real problem.

[@AkornzStash]

@@Ninjanimegamerthose are true points. But most of todays generation isn't just from being "protective". Its what they were taught... and what they weren't taught.

[@Ninjanimegamer]

@@AkornzStash I will agree. I didn't mention that being overprotective also includes the fear of having your kids know too much, see too much, do or say something that can hurt the child. Many parents in gen x, were scared their kids would not be happy. As our parents neglected us, some of us had developed childhood trauma, depression and anxiety. Many gen xers don't want to give their kids mental health issues. They don't realize that by being overprotective only adds to mental health issues. Like you're seeing, kids today don't know squat, they can't survive, have no life skills and can't bounce back when something goes wrong. They are pasty weak house creatures not wanting to go anywhere and hiding behind screens. Because kids are so overprotected they have not been exposed to different situations and can't fend for themselves; when parents are doing it for them. It's all a part of trying to keep them safe from the big bad world we were forced to face alone. Mind you, as much as I have told my kid to get out, go play; it's a fight and a struggle. I am sure it's because there is no one around. Everyone else is inside and no one is watching the kids. The outdoors has become a scary place. If more kids got out I'm sure that would help. I force my kid out anyway. She had to get exercise and fresh air. I'm criticized for doing so. I hear from other parents, "aren't you afraid someone will take her, she'll get hit by a car, she could fall and break something....". There is peer pressure and it's hard for some to hear it. It makes others feel like they're bad parents. My kid is now a teenager and I'm sure she can fend for herself.
