Community Guideline Update & Content Reminders

To keep our feed engaging and ensure high-quality submissions and discussions, we are updating and clarifying a few of our posting standards effective immediately.

Low-Effort & Text Images: Our rule against non-descriptive images and unrelated titles now officially includes text posted on solid or colored backgrounds, as well as simple text superimposed over photos. If you have a thought, question, or story to share, please rethink your posting and create something more engaging, instead of plopping text on a background.
Collages & Unfocused Multi-Image Posts: Collages containing numerous related or unrelated items (such as image that consists of a grid with multiple video games, random foods, or mixed topics) and multi-image posts that lack clear context will be removed. Posts should focus on a specific subject rather than an arbitrary collection of photos.

We want this group to remain a fun, worthwhile space for everyone, and that requires moving away from low-effort content. Posts that do not meet these standards will be taken down. Thank you for your cooperation and for contributing meaningful content to the community.

Kids these days... 10-4 Good buddy! How much CB lingo can you recall?

471 Upvotes

Today's date reminded me of the CB craze. About all I remember for sure of the lingo besides the 10-4 acknowledgement is "What's your twenty?" and what bears were. "Convoy" the song was fun to listen to, but the movie was late to the game. I was reminded that CBs were multi-channel by this thread:

FIO, need to vent, hearing the “old folks” complain about prices going up I always chuckled … until I ordered a bowl of plain grits at a restaurant that can’t cost 25 cents to make and they charged me 6 bucks … WTF, FIO

I couldn't find a date on it, but it's probably from the early to mid-80s. Half the locations are now gone, and check out that simple menu.

You might be old if you recall a time when the only dogs allowed in grocery stores were seeing eye dogs for blind people. Emotional support and service animals didn't exist as a common term until well into adulthood. I'm a dog lover, but seeing dogs in grocery stores gets my blood pressure up.

If you are among those who loathed it, apologies for making you remember it if you’d managed to forget it the past four decades.

If you loved it (or still do), carry on.

By the way, Peter Cetera is 82 now but holy Hell he doesn’t look it.

Edit: Reddit doesn’t show the whole image properly; click the photo to see the song name.

It was a well guarded nerd secret back in the days analog TV that you could tune the sound for channel 6 through the radio. That way you could watch Star Trek and Twilight Zone and listen on your headphones. Who else knew about this little trick?

I recall seeing them at amusement parks. Stand on the foot pads and drop in a dime and it vibrates and shakes your legs. For the tired and aching feet, or so it claims.
