At some point, kids watching older cartoons will no longer understand why putting a thermometer under a desk lamp was a way to skip school.

  I did the lamp thing once. The temp went up to 42 Celsius, and my mom thought I was dying. She wanted to call the ambulance, and I had to come clean. Fun times.

    Skill issue. I practiced and was able to hit 38-39 °C consistently.

      She probably did and was basically calling my bluff. Either way, it worked, and I crumbled like the liar I was.

    Yes, if their parents go out of their way to find them.

  My kids love the original Tom and Jerry and watched it on you tube. Then they watched the modern remake and they hated it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

  My sister and I shared a room at one point, and she decided to improvise a wax melt by sticking a tube a Cherry Dr Pepper chapstick to our lamp.

  The smell never left the room.

  Pfffftttt. the real trick is to put ice cubes in your underarms for a few minutes before they checked your temp.

    This is a new one for me. Doing this makes your internal tempt go higher?

  There are no commercial breaks, if you know what you’re doing.

  But that’s the least obvious one, I have to explain telephones to my kids.

  Kids today don’t know that until quite recently if you turned on the TV and you didn’t get any picture, you could give the thing a firm slap on the side and it would work.

    Percussive maintenance is still quite useful for shitty solder jobs. It’s not going anywhere.

    I miss the times where I just put my favorite cassette in a random player and heard an audio play for the night, without needing Spotify and searching for a specific episode

    And I’m 19

      I miss cassettes and vinyl records only for nostalgia’s sake. Realistically, they were a BITCH to handle and store with questionable lifetimes and middling audio quality.

  How did that feel as a rectal thermometer?

  There’s no incentive to watch something as long and sometimes deep as cartoons, when Andrew Tate or PoliticalTruth88 can fake acknowledgement, a perspective and a community for them with 30 second clips.
