        I just learned from my doctor that you can poop in a cup and mail it off somewhere instead of getting the finger up the butt. Yay! Now I can procrastinate and not do something only mildly unpleasant instead of not doing something miserable.

            Yeah. Basically, she said finger-up-butt is good for 10 years but poop-in-cup is good for only 3 years, and if they find indications of a problem in the cup-o-poop then you have to go get finger-up-butt anyway. Still worth it in my book.

                Back in the '90s you could apparently send a letter to Michael Jordan by just addressing it “Michael Jordan” and nothing else. I think the poop cup works kind of the same.

                Note that I am not telling you to mail your poop to Michael Jordan.

    Just the other day, I wanted to take off my hoodie and tie it around my waist. Then I realized I could literally talk about the 90s like “I tied my hoodie around my waist, which was the style at the time”.

        I did it at a baseball game on Saturday. Wore it when it got chilly. Put it around my waist when got warmer. Success.

      I miss wearing short-sleeved graphic tees over long-sleeved white tees. Everybody reminisces about the '90s flannel shirts but I feel the dual tees thing was more representative of that era.

        Short sleeve graphic tee over a long sleeve white tee, Jnco jeans, a big ass wallet chain, and some wrap around the back Sony headphones for the diskman in my Jean pockets. I was preeeeety cool.

    I drew all over my CD wallet with a white out pen. Because that’s what you did with things that were made of that binder material.

    I remember having a cd player that could play mp3 cds in my car, that was great. Music for hours with no skips or having to swap anything

        I drive a 25-year-old car and the only reason I’m able to play music from my phone on the car’s sound system is that it was built to accommodate a 6-disc CD changer in the trunk. For $50 I was able to hook up an accessory that plugs into the changer port and fools the car stereo into thinking the audio signal from the phone is actually coming from a CD changer. Unfortunately my newest phone of course has no 3.5mm audio jack and the USB-C adapter has like a third the maximum volume of a normal plug. Oh well, better for my hearing at least.

    Reminds me of when I was going through stuff in storage years ago and found my box of music and game CDs. I realized I could just download anything I wanted from that box and tossed them. Felt like a waste, but I didn’t want to deal with finding someone who might actually want them.

    The only thing that makes me feel old here is that I don’t think anyone remembers what the title of this post is referencing, the war of Man vs. Machine…

      I recall being told that CDs were bad to keep in cars because of the heat.

      I always kept my CD wallet (a small one with 10 discs that I’d switch out every now and then) under the seat and never had a problem. Before I had that, I had a CD case that kept maybe 20 discs in their jewel cases that I kept behind the driver’s seat, and no issues there either (though that was MUCH harder to swap discs while on the road). I also had a visor holder that I later used in the motorhome with MP3 CDs (now I could take my whole collection!).

      In the early 90s, I paid $300 for a very basic in dash Sony CD player with output for only two speakers. Somewhat early adopter tax.

    I never had a CD wallet and I never had an MP3 player and I don’t have a subscription to some shitty streaming service for music either…Am I weird?

    I recently got a second hand DVD with a Wii game on it, and for the first time in many years I found myself wiping down a disc with a microfibre cloth. I actually cleaned it like 4 or 5 times before I stopped getting errors, which makes me wonder if there were discs from the 90s that I could’ve saved that way. I never realised it might take that many tries.
