I don't have any pics rn, but there's something so distinct about photos from this time and the nineties. like the sun or lighting in general was different.
>>35633760
probably has something to do with the cameras which were widely in use at that point. maybe the sun or lighting in general was different though, you might have a point.
>you will never be this edgy in the year 2005

>>35633778
The lighting actually was different. The light bulbs we used were less energy efficient, but had a more comfy glow to em

people rarely use flash anymore
bumping this great thread due to an overwhelming interest to its idea
There was not such an abundance of self awareness a decade ago. It makes even disgusting humor seem very innocent looking at it from today.
I'll post a couple of pictures, bump so thread doesnt die
please post some more

It really was a different time.I truly believe the early 2000s were the last period of relative peace/prosperity for the West.

Just because you were born then doesn't make it so. By the early 2000 everything already went to shit.

Hey what the fuck is this well known somewhere?
I used to listen to the song Suki Suki Daisuki from that album literally every day while walking home from campus.

It's about the state of mind.
At the time, people still believed that this shit could be fixed. With USSR down, USA emerged as the only real Superpower. From there, there was only one direction, to bring democracy and peace to the rest of the world, it was just a matter of patience.
Nowadays if someone speaks to keep Irak stable or to seperate Jerusalem between Israel/Palestine, he'll be looked at funny.
That was a time where our presidents could promise with a straight face that Kuweit would become a democracy. Still waiting on that one too.
It seems like people are even more sensitive to the nigger-word today

I knew a bunch of them in college. My friends ran a board game club that got really big.
They were spergy even for nerds. They sort of took over the board game club... we all stopped going.
>>35638552
Yeah they're in their 50's-60's now.

Not sure if it relates, but I used to use an old Dell D810 for everything, up until about 2015. From 2005-2012 it kept up nicely and was real fast, but then by 2013 it just kept getting slower and today it's slow as fuck, despite me wiping it. The weird thing is it's not even the internet that's slow anymore, it's the computer itself and I don't know why

Jesus christ that's horrifying. I can't even imagine being in that situation... Stumbling around in pitch blackness, trying to find your way out, dread replacing panic as you get weak and light-headed from dehydration, realisation setting in that you are most likely going to be dying here. Then, days later, you trip and collapse on the floor you can't even see, never to get up again.
Fuck, man.

Holy fuck that's horrifying.
> Despite more than a full day of rescue efforts, John Edward Jones died around midnight Wednesday while trapped in a tight section of Nutty Putty Cave.
All that effort, and people knew he was there, but he still died. But, I think the drunk girl had it worse, she died in pitch blackness, total isolation, and with complete clarity of mind until dehydration set in. The fluid pooling in John's head probably made him lose consciousness after a bit.

Why did they arrange the rope in such a retarded manner, around that jutting rock, just before tying it around his legs.
