Things from your childhood that younger people would be baffled by

[user104658]

So I saw summat like this on Facebook but I hate Facebook and would never post there.

Anyway; the premise is, you're supposed to name or post something from your childhood that everyone your age would understand, but that "younger folks" would be baffled by without context. Like kids not knowing what a cassette tape is, etc.

Mine is simply this sound :joker:

My daughter: "WTF is that??"
Me: *explains*
My daughter: "....dial? What? What do you mean???"

It's a sound that I actually find weirdly exciting :think:. The sound of the gateway to trolling, free music that took 15 minutes per track to download, and grainy 20 second porn clips. Ahh, nostalgia.

Back when this was the only way to contact people other than in person and phone calls were expensive, my best friends mom had one of these on their phone but we figured out how to dial numbers using the hang up buttons and foiled her lock :fan:

Haha!

The type often found as a pet, the laboratory stick-insect, does not appear to survive long in the wild in the UK. Colonies found in the summer, usually on privet hedges where they have been dumped by mums and dads, disappear in the winter, killed by the frost.24 Aug 2008




Who goes about dumping piles of insects ffs...is this what the schools do if nobody takes them home for the summer.... I'm utterly baffled...

Jonnii. ......you were right...cheers for mentioning stick insects..I'm smiling at a lot of memories....below is what would have been in the link I would have posted....but it makes my post massive so I will just post the words...they ain't mine btw.



If you live in south west England, early autumn is a good time to look for aliens – alien insects that is! There are no native stick insects in the UK, however, three species have become successfully established in Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly Three New Zealand species of stick-insects, or phasmids (from the Greek ‘phasma’ meaning phantom or apparition), have become naturalised in the UK over the last 100 years, and almost all are in south west England. This means that they live and reproduce here in the UK in the wild. The first UK record was of a Prickly Stick-insect (Acanthoxyla geisovii) found in a Paignton garden in 1909, with a further locality in 1943 from Tresco Abbey Gardens in the Isles of Scilly. The next species was the Smooth Stick-insect (Clitarchus hookeri) found in 1949, also in Tresco Abbey Gardens. The third species was the Unarmed Stick-insect (Acanthoxyla inermis) recorded at Truro, Cornwall, in 1979. Subsequently it was found that it had been established in Treseder’s Truro nursery since the 1920s, only a 100 metres from that 1979 record.
Our naturalised stick insects all have similar annual life cycles. They breed parthenogenetically - meaning that the young hatch from eggs produced without fertilization by a male - laying several hundred eggs in summer and early autumn. These are simply dropped onto the ground below where the insect is feeding. They hatch out the following spring as miniature adults, some 12mm long, and climb up the first stem they meet. Nymphs grow quickly by shedding their skins five or six times to become mature in mid-summer. Adults typically live only three or four months, with few surviving into the winter.

The stick insects came to be here in the UK, thousands of kilometres from their native lands in new Zealand when plants, including Tree Ferns, from New Zealand were shipped to nurseries in south west England. In the Eucalyptus forests where the plants came from, stick insects live high in the canopy. Their eggs rain down on the forest floor, and many will be caught in the crown and the rough ‘bark’ of the Tree Ferns, to be transferred with the other plants to the UK. As stick insects can reproduce parthenogenetically a single egg arriving in the UK could lead to a viable colony.

As the insects are surrounded by food (such as bramble and privet), and have no need to find a mate, they have little natural inclination to move far. Only in the autumn, when the leaves fall off the plant, will they wander to seek food or warmth.

As the weather turns colder, stick insects venture out onto south-facing walls to bask in the sun. This enables them to maintain their body temperature – and also makes them easy to spot! Most of the stick insects will die off in the first autumn frosts, but some individuals will survive the winter and thus small colonies have developed.

Unlike some 'alien invaders' these naturalised stick insects appear to have no negative impact upon native wildlife or plants, although further research is needed. In the meantime they are an exotic addition to the gardens and green spaces of south west England

My Auntie lives quite rurally (I say rural it's more like a big village that's got nothing around it) and she had one go to her every Thursday night. He'd just have all the new VHS releases for that week in the boot of his car or she'd request one she'd like for the next week and she'd rent however many for the week for about £2-ish each I think. If we were there visiting she'd let me pick one too and I'd get to take it home to watch as long as I brought it back by the next week.

I don't really remember anything pre about 1995 ish.born in 87. But even then, most (everyone?) only had 5 channels. Only a few had crappy dial up internet..we had it but it was mainly for my dads work so barely got to go on it..friends actually classed us as 'rich' because we had a computer! A few years after that everyone started getting them, but it was all just dial up and crawling bricks basically and yeah, had to come off it if anyone wanted to use the phone, or pay for 2 lines

Even then, older people would be all 'back in my day you had no toys at all! you wouldn't survive' and that :laugh:

I remember the first kid in my class who got a computer and literally everyone was in awe. I think everyone took it in turns to go to his house just to "see it". Bearing in mind at this time, our whole Primary School had about 4 in total that the whole school would share, so they were seen as huge deals.

I also remember having "Computer Class" once every few weeks in Junior School where a man would come in or we would go to the village library to learn the absolute basic stuff because "the age of computers were incoming fast"! :hehe:
