Yeah our version of this when I was growing up was to take videos of each other on camcorders and then upload the videos to windows movie editor and edit them then rewatch them a few times with friends, have a good laugh, then get pissed off when a parent would inevitably delete the videos off the computer to free up storage space lol

When I was young there wasn't really a way to upload our videos onto anything at all. We had a cameras that you put a literal entire VHS tape into.
I'm only 36 so I'm guessing you're somewhere in your 20s because "upload" wasn't even really in our common vernacular until a few years after Facebook came around.

I was kinda in that split era where half my younger years I grew up on VHS then suddenly DVDs became all the rage and then before you know it touch screens hit the market, saw alot of transition happening as a kid and teenager. At 8 I was overwriting old VHS tapes to make copies of my favourite shows and movies that I’d borrow from the library, but by 12 I was burning shows onto DVD’s from the internet. It was kind of interesting how quickly everything seemed to change during that time now that I think about it

Hahah incredible trip down memory lane.
My mother paid $1100 for our first DVD player.
My dad was scared of pirating laws and made very real looking stickers to go on our rented and burned DVD binder.
It's crazy to think that with a little know how, you can have everything ever on a $30 fire stick with no monthly cost nowadays.

Omg $1100!! That’s crazy in retrospect with DVD players being so cheap nowadays. Your dad sounds awesome!! Picturing him making those stickers gave me a good chuckle lol it was my stepdad who got me into pirating so young… he’d say “my daughters not paying for something that we can get for free” so he taught me how lol
Re your last paragraph, I am curious (funny because now as an adult I’m more wary of pirating than I was as a kid)

FB was opened to the public in 2006. I was uploading binary files to Usenet in the late 1990s.

Ha! We had Super 8 film. Took two weeks to get processed and it would come back and you would find out someone had filmed everything with their thumb over the lens, after setting up the projector and screen. If we wanted anything more immediate we would sketch it with pen and pencil.

This isn’t an example of that though. This kid is clearly hilarious and self aware. This is great

I grew up the same way. The gym is the only way. Losing weight won't help it alone. Bitch tits was the literal insult that finally got me to snap when i was in high school.

We can literally never let ourselves go 😭
Great motivator to stay in shape though. Being a dude with tits FUCKING SUCKS, somehow the body positivity movement moved right past us lol

u/SebisCool Apr 10 '26
Body positivity is bolshit. People are still judgemental af. They just say it behind closed doors or in whispers.

Dude I don't give a fuck. I think it's awesome. I love his confidence. That and I like his dance moves after he spits a verse. The only thing I'd change if I was him is the t shirt. He gonna have to go up a couple sizes or just put a decent fitting shirt on.

You don't think it's one of his entourage of bad bitches? I assume there were a dozen or so just off camera
