those old Harlem Shake videos from 2013… and I was in two of em
Found the HR woman from 2013 who thought she was being cool…or possibly someone employed by a minor league hockey team.

Here’s a funny one: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4zecxd
An anti-Harlem shake Harlem shake video.
Wow, Dailymotion still exists! And they redesigned their website!
I had a WWJD bracelet at one point in time. The late 90s were weird like that.
World wide Jenna Davis?
Remember those silly rubber “Armstrong” wristbands? I had a million different ones and wore about 20 on each wrist to school and everywhere else. Yeah, I was pretty goddamn cool. 😎
Wore my mother’s bell bottoms to school and they fell apart while I was at school. Everyone got to see my undies q.q
Why you always check for moth bites folks
Did you have boots with the fur?
back in 2016(?) I was one of the people who had a yeti cup
I definitely do not currently have a yeti cup and definitely do not love it and use it all the time nope nuh uh
lol, I’m one step ahead of you. I’ve moved on to a water bottle with stickers on it. I suppose I’m still participating in more trends than I thought.
Pogs, I think.
i dunno, beanie babies?
Five Nights at Freddy’s. So much wasted brainpower.
My little cousin was 10 during the height of the craze. I have been regaled with hours of FNAF lore that now lives rent free in my head. My YouTube recommendations were cursed for years. I still tease him about it nowadays and he cringes hard.
POGs. I don’t think anything is ever going to out stupid POGs
I still don’t even know where they came from or why they existed but I did have a big tube of them and a nice brass slammer. Clearly I needed to fit in with my older brothers and that’s basically all I know about them.
They came from Hawaii, milk bottles or containers of some kind had cardboard circle under the cap, and kid’s made up this game with them at the breakfast table
Don’t kids still play them?
You shut your pretty whore mouth!!!
POG’s were, and always be, awesome!
At least they were cheap enough that every kid could feel like a pogillianaire.
I had so many from just eating chips as a kid in Mexico. They still make em, my ex brought me a couple dragon ball super ones from when she went on vacation to Mexico to cheat on me.
My face reading this 😐😀😰
Got rid of a bad relationship and got some pogs. Sounds pretty adequate to me.
It was a fair trade in hindsight lul. Got me a lovely fiancee now and I’m much happier.
NFTs are digital POGs with no slammer to gamble them with. That’s way, way more stupid.
Well… I’m old so I didn’t get into it.
Lolcats. I even dabbled in lolcode for no good reason.
I can has cheezburger
I don’t usually go along with trends, so my worst one is the starbucks planner thing where you collect stickers for every coffee you buy and you get a planner notebook for the coming year. Most expensive notebook I ever bought, and a waste of money. Also feels disgusting giving all that money to starbucks. This was like15 years ago though.
As a child, [bootleg] Tamagotchi?
Buying a new (or used) phone every 1-2 years?
Nowadays, they are boring.Nowadays, they are boring.
Fr, the foldy phones have been the biggest good innovation in like a decade. Unfortunately, now I’m stuck, I’ve had a taste and I can’t go back now. It’s like moving up to multiple monitors and then trying to go back to a single monitor setup after awhile
I taught middle school when those came out, would confiscate them, then feel bad and feed them during the day so I didn’t kill them before school let out and they could be returned to their owners.
This is so wholesome <3
Bitcoin. I mined some (might’ve even been on my CPU at the time) back when it was easy to mine it. Not a ton, but enough that now I have to explain that despite thinking blockchain is just straight up a scam, I do have some Bitcoin in a wallet on my hard drive somewhere. (That I’ve never done anything with.)
Can you get to that wallet? A Bitcoin is worth $60k now.
Yup. I can. I have around 1/20 of a Bitcoin, so the amount I have should be worth about $3,000 USD (unless the price has crashed since I started writing this post. 😈)
Cashing it in would make me feel dirty. It’s basically just handing the bag to the next bagholder. (Though, I’m not really a baholder per se. I’m not really invested to speak of. The only investment I made to get this Bitcoin is to leave my computer on for like a month or less.) Feeding the ponzi monster, as it were.
But then again, it’s $3,000.
As much as I hate myself for admitting it, the possibility that the price will climb a little higher is probably part of why I didn’t trade it for real money back in late 2021 when the price of a Bitcoin was so high.
But, yeah, you’re probably right I should just sell it. Maybe I’ll just make whoever I sell it to promise they’re not giving me next month’s rent or their kids’ college fund. Lol.
Edit: Ok. You’ve inspired me to make a post asking other crypto-skeptics what I should do with it.
If it’s any consolation, I just use bitcoin to convert to Monero to buy drugs. So in a way there is an actual use for it 😊
It’s crazy how this amount could actually change my life right now. At some point I did also have 1BTC but decided to gamble it all away because I thought it would never have any actual value so it didn’t matter.
I bought $270 worth that is now worth about $1,700. I have no idea what to do with it.
You could donate it to some financial literacy nonprofit if you want to be rid of it without feeling dirty.
I got some parachute pants when I was around 11 or 12 because I thought they were cool, and were the only fad I actually got excited about. Those were some comfy pants!
In high school grunge got popular, which worked out for since I was already wearing worn out jeans, tshirts, and flannel shirts due to living in a rural area. Not sure if trends catching up with me counts as being part of the fad, but I did like the music.
Remember that nirvana came from a rural area.
I wear parachute pants when I can, although I usually just wear a sarong, as those are even more comfortable than pants.
Tight-rolled jeans with rolled-down socks.
Also, aforementioned backwards clothes - even trained my Grandma to reply “jump, jump?” 😁Tight rolled jeans were a fad? (Looks down at his tight rolled pants)
