I’m looking forward to Matt Groenig’s new show.
Disenchanted probably had that response
I remain unconvinced.

Why didn’t you page me back?
“What do you think about John Kerry?”
Ska is forever!
Blackberry and Nokia will always be around.
Hand me my Razor
People who want to shave still say this sometimes.
Ska is forever, though.
“Ska is what plays in a 13-year-old kid’s head when he gets extra mozzarella sticks”
2004 Nokia bricks are probably still around. Them things were indestructible.
I’ll be back in five moons, we’re running out of mammoth meat (translation)
“Sorry, I got to return this video”
There is a video rental place in town here.
Is it like a nostalgic novelty place?
It is also a cigarette shop now. I have not been in there since it was the original owners back in the 90s.
“America will not abide Nazism.”
Did you see Mozart’s new concerto?
My wife and I had to struggle to remember the word “hook” in the context of “the phone is off the hook”.
A few year back, I took my daughter to an urgent care clinic. She was around 2 or 3 years old. While in the waiting room their office phone rang and my daughter jumped and went, “What was that?” because she had never heard a landline ring before.
What’s your AIM screen name?
I’ve enjoyed my time talking with you and getting to understand how you see the world and, although I don’t agree with you, I’m glad to have had this exchange of opinions and will now reflect upon what I’ve learned.
Where did I leave my zip disk?
Inserts disk: click, click, click
“fuck, I knew I should have put that on a CD-RW.”
Next to the minidisk
Yes, that was two decades
I still use minidiscs!
Hell yeah. My Zip disk lives somewhere and contains nude shots of Dragon Ball (original and Z) from when I was like 10. It was the only way I could hide them from my family.
Nobody referred to videos as “VHS” unless they were explicitly trying to distinguish the medium from betamax. They just called them “videos” and “tapes” or “videotape.”
for example: Hey can I borrow that tape?
That movie just came out on video.
Be kind, rewind your videotape.
I was born in the late 80’s by the time Betamax had died out so VHS was the de facto only video tape format in wide use, Hi-8 existed but was only used in the airlines despite being smaller and better. So movie previews would talk about “Coming soon to own on video” or people would say “I’ve got it on tape.” It would feel weirdly early 80’s to specify…until late in the DVD era and into blu-ray when VHS was a truly dead format and people started calling it that again.
Similarly, I never heard anyone pronounce “SNES” as a one letter word until at least the Gamecube era; it was the Super Nintendo at the time.
I was growing up when the SNES came out. I was a rare person that had an NES and I knew of no one with both an NES and SNES so most people I knew called the SNES “Nintendo”.
After the game cube was absolutely when “S’ness” became popular.
Conversely, I still sometimes refer to DVDs, Blu Rays and even streaming media as “videos”.
Which is both anachronistic, but also technically correct.
“Sorry, I got to return this video”
You say that, although it’s pretty close to the recurring joke in American Psycho, so if you’re lenient this kind of sentence was said in this comm only days ago. https://lemmy.ml/post/24140732/15784014
