Sometimes, the best way to do something is the old-fashioned way! I mean, it's not always the case as the old-fashioned way is often very dangerous, but that's beside the point.
Anyway, with this in mind, please enjoy these 15+ people who prefer to do things the old way!
Pfft, I'd have liked to have seen this teacher try and nail a Nokia 3310 to the wall! They'd have been there for years.
Ah, the days of floppy disks. A time of simpler pleasures and boxes of plastic files that would inevitably go missing at some point.
You'd be hard pushed to get in touch with me via smoke signal, I find that all smoke signals I get end up going straight into my smoky spam folder.
I hope that the person who ordered this piece of equipment isn't allergic to nuts, that would be a disaster.
Nothing beats the feel of a real meme in the palm of your hands. It feels like victory.
This is the most hipster phone case that I have ever seen. Congratulations, you have won hipsterism.
Sometimes the most simple solutions are the best ones of all. Although, I didn't know that dogs were particularly huge fans of chilly heatwave Doritos?
See, who needs a phone that can tell you the time everywhere in the world when you can just lug one of these around with you?!
Ah yes, the classic approach of simply injecting cocaine into wherever the issue is!
I actually quite like this. It's an easy and quick way to give your car that steampunk-esque aesthetic that it needs!
This seems like one of those things that would actually be pretty dangerous, but I just can't figure out why.
Can't see anything wrong with this really, ancient problems require ancient solutions.
What a beautiful piece of tech. I absolutely need one of these for my front room now!
Jeez, just buy your dad a new fly swatter for God's sake. They're not exactly expensive.
This way, the person you are getting a gift for can also benefit from the wonderfully useless offers on the receipts!
"I think that Tom Petty was born in Florida, Harold."
"Sandra, hand me the atlas."
"I don't think that the answer will..."
"I said hand me the atlas!"
Granted, rake and pitchfork designs haven't changed that much over the years but I really can't imagine myself cutting the grass with a scythe.
Really, the last time I've even seen a scythe in person, it was made of plastic because it was part of a Grim Reaper costume.
And since each bus probably costs the city a pretty penny, it's not that surprising that they'd use them as long as they can.
Not only does this old Apple IIE computer still work but the uploader's dad still uses it for word processing and keeping track of his financials.
If that sounds strange, it's worth noting that the U.S. military controlled their nuclear arsenal with computers that were even older until 2019.
After all, a computer from the '70s is too old to access the internet, which makes it too old to hack.
As someone who's actively sought out an emulator so I could play Pokémon Red again, I can't really judge that decision.
The uploader doesn't have that one but they do have Tetris and Super Mario Land — which some of you might recall is the one that plays the Can-Can when Mario picks up the invincibility star — so that should keep them busy.
As one commenter said, "I honestly don't see why everybody doesn't use one of these. The costs compared to cartridge are just so insanely low, the blades last longer, the shave is better, the handles are practically a lifetime investment with how long they last and for people like me who suffer from terrible irritation and ingrown hairs, these combined with a proper shaving technique almost completely solves the issue."
This cookbook has clearly seen better days but it's still held up pretty well considering that one grandmother still uses it after having received it as a wedding gift about 60 years ago.
And part of the reason why she hasn't replaced it is that it contains some recipes her daughter and sons wrote as children.
But as the uploader assures us, this one in Ravenden, Arkansas, is still very much in use. I'd be curious to know how much action it sees, though.
So I couldn't help but feel a little surprised when this tape was clearly used as recently as 2009.
But if this person still uses their DV Tape camera, they might not be happy to learn that it's pretty hard to get the tapes for less than $100 nowadays.
Furthermore, they were amused to discover that they're filed using a carbon copy system at the town hall.
No need for those fancy photocopiers, I guess.
As we can see, they're written on slips of paper attached to the unit, which is either a pretty bulky flip phone or two smartphones that he taped together for some reason.
It's just that they happened to be watching the 1995 movie The Net at the time and there's a scene where someone is watching the news on an old CRT television.
As we can see, the way they shot it creates a convincing illusion without meaning to.
Because no matter what era of schooling we're talking about, you can bet there was at least one kid who gave a wisecrack of an answer when they were otherwise stumped.
And yes, I was definitely that kid.
I hope that they're going to secure that dog in place before they drive off, otherwise it could be a little exciting when they hit the highway.
The face on that duck makes it look like the bus is about to crash and this is the emergency stop!
The small hand pointing at the price is the most charming part of this, ornate metalwork aside.
Is this functionally three wall-mounted minifridges? Yes, but the appeal of having one fridge just for produce and not needing to bend down as much is strong.
Why aren't appliances this cute anymore? I want a toaster with flowers on it!
Where do you work? Just asking for a friend, definitely not to come clear out your machine.
Nothing quite as comforting as walking into a jail cell every night to go to sleep.
I grew up as they were phasing these out, so the nostalgia I feel is very ghostly.
"Surely," one university rep desperately says in the budget meeting, "Someone will use it, someone will want one, I just know it!"
I wouldn't be able to have these around, my impulse control is too bad. It'd only be a matter of time before I said "screw it" and knocked one back.
A testament to the quality of stuff made back then, I suppose, and also the owner's own care. I bet it's spacious, too!
This guy does not give a damn about societal conventions. If only we could all be as free as this man.
For reference, the last thylacine passed away in 1936 in captivity, and was originally hunted to near extinction in the 1800s due to a bounty system put in place for hunting them.
At least this Kindle has seen life outside of the box, which is a luxury that my mother's Kindle has not yet enjoyed.
