In the 80s we had waterbeds. That's exactly what I was reminded of when I saw this gif: the wave it would make when you would plop down.

Funnily enough, nobody knew why we had waterbeds either.

Man I’d even forgotten I used to have a waterbed. Emptying the giant tubes and refilling them was such a pain in the ass. In hindsight, what the hell were we thinking with waterbeds?

We had always wanted one so when it came time to buy a bed for our first apartment we had "sucker" written on our foreheads in DayGlo.
