I just learned from my doctor that you can poop in a cup and mail it off somewhere instead of getting the finger up the butt. Yay! Now I can procrastinate and not do something only mildly unpleasant instead of not doing something miserable.

I have this haircut still.

Dude I kept up the style LONG after it was no longer the style of the time. I put so many lives in danger driving my Volvo station wagon 75mph flipping through all of my scratched cds in a massive booklet

Just the other day, I wanted to take off my hoodie and tie it around my waist. Then I realized I could literally talk about the 90s like “I tied my hoodie around my waist, which was the style at the time”.

I miss wearing short-sleeved graphic tees over long-sleeved white tees. Everybody reminisces about the '90s flannel shirts but I feel the dual tees thing was more representative.
MIDItheKID@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Short sleeve graphic tee over a long sleeve white tee, Jnco jeans, a big ass wallet chain, and some wrap around the back Sony headphones for the diskman in my Jean pockets. I was preeeeety cool.

In my version of the 90s it was a flannel shirt tied around my waist

It’s so convenient, I don’t understand why it ever went out of style

I did it at a baseball game on Saturday. Wore it when it got chilly. Put it around my waist when got warmer. Success.

I remember having a cd player that could play mp3 cds in my car, that was great. Music for hours with no skips or having to swap anything

Fancy people had like a 10 cd changer in the trunk
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I drive a 25-year-old car and the only reason I’m able to play music from my phone on the car’s sound system is that it was built to accommodate a 6-disc CD changer in the trunk. For $50 I was able to hook up an accessory that plugs into the changer port and fools the car stereo into thinking the audio signal from the phone is actually coming from a CD changer. Unfortunately my newest phone of course has no 3.5mm audio jack and the USB-C adapter has like a third the maximum volume of a normal plug. Oh well, better for my hearing at least.

I still have that, still rocking mp3s

You just quoted a line from an episode that first aired last century.

I recently got a second hand DVD with a Wii game on it, and for the first time in many years I found myself wiping down a disc with a microfibre cloth. I actually cleaned it like 4 or 5 times before I stopped getting errors, which makes me wonder if there were discs from the 90s that I could’ve saved that way. I never realised it might take that many tries.

Burnable CD/DVD from the 2010’s are reaching the end of their lifetime already.

I recall being told that CDs were bad to keep in cars because of the heat.
I always kept my CD wallet (a small one with 10 discs that I’d switch out every now and then) under the seat and never had a problem. Before I had that, I had a CD case that kept maybe 20 discs in their jewel cases that I kept behind the driver’s seat, and no issues there either (though that was MUCH harder to swap discs while on the road). I also had a visor holder that I later used in the motorhome with MP3 CDs (now I could take my whole collection!).
In the early 90s, I paid $300 for a very basic in dash Sony CD player with output for only two speakers. Somewhat early adopter tax.
Dozzi92@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I drew all over my CD wallet with a white out pen. Because that’s what you did with things that were made of that binder material.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 months ago
I still have 3 CD wallets like that one full of CDs, DVDs and PS1/2/Dreamcast games.
dan1101@lemm.ee 8 months ago
CDs were so much better than cassettes. But as soon as I could get an MP3 player in the mid 1990s I was over CDs forever. The first car MP3 player I had was a dock for a computer hard drive, it had a faceplate that displayed file info and a knob to select songs/folders.
stoicmaverick@lemmy.world 8 months ago
We got a first gen iPod when we leased a New Beatle convertible in… whatever year that must have been. It still had an actual spinning hdd inside with, I want to say, 30gb of storage. I regret tossing it eventually. Those are collectors items now.
MutilationWave@lemmy.world 8 months ago
That sounded high so I looked it up. It was 5gb! Seemed like so much at the time. Of course I’m so old I remember my first computer had a 200mb hard drive and I wondered how anyone could fill up so much space then.
Emerald@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Cassette organizer? I just put em in a stack or on a shelf lol
dan1101@lemm.ee 8 months ago
I had a double-sided suitcase type thing with slots for the cassette cases, it must have held 50 at least. That was on my car
And a wooden rack in the house that held dozens. I still have it and the cassettes in a closet somewhere.

The only thing that makes me feel old here is that I don’t think anyone remembers what the title of this post is referencing, the war of Man vs. Machine…

I never had a CD wallet and I never had an MP3 player and I don’t have a subscription to some shitty streaming service for music either…Am I weird?

Radio was an option. If you followed no music, then yes you were odd

i still have a wallet in my car with my discs. I dread the day I have to give up this car.
samus12345@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Reminds me of when I was going through stuff in storage years ago and found my box of music and game CDs. I realized I could just download anything I wanted from that box and tossed them. Felt like a waste, but I didn’t want to deal with finding someone who might actually want them.
tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Well, I have not thrown them away so, they are still in those huge cases.

I no longer have any device capable if playing or even reading CDs, but I stille have mine on the wall as if I built a shrine to how much of an old fuck I am 😄

I still have mine at my parent’s house. Probably a mix of music and PS2 games.

Music and PC games in my case, pun intended 😁

Hey your “Body Count” case is upside-down.
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Yup,!
So’s my Ultima Online: The Second Age case, Beatles - 1, Frank Zappa - Over-nite Sensation, my Jesus Christ Superstar (movie version) soundtrack and my promotional CD from a local disco band called Boogieknights I stumbled (in more than one sense of the word) on during a pubcrawl many years ago 😁

Recently I went and bought a vinyl, cd, cassette player. I busted the cd wallet out of the closet and bought a bunch of cassettes at the flea market
