If i were a zoomer born and bred in clown world 2.0 and all i had to look back to and feel nostalgic about was this type of shit i would just end it.

>>19736344
Sigh. They sure were.

........mcdonalds..............home....................

>tfw it will never be 2012 again and you and your dorky neckbeard friends are driving home from an anime convention after getting 2 hours of sleep and stopping at McDonald's to fill up on dollar menu mcdoubles, mchickens and a large Coke for 5 bucks before going back to work your low stress retail jobs that despite not paying well, met your basic needs and left enough free time to pursue your hobbies and even have an active social life

Where did it all go so wrong, bros?

>>19736344
Post-9/11, pre-COVID was such a weird time

>>19736468
>dorky neckbeard friends
>anime convention
>Mcdonalds
>low streess retail jobs
Omg did someone say Nerd culture?? Bazinga my dudes

>>19736563
2012 was a different time. And yes, it was great back then. I know going outside and having friends is foreign to subhuman zoomies, but it used to be fun

>>19736602
>Consooming mass media product and corporate slop was so wholesome back then

>>19736468
When you replace culture with shallow consumerism and identity with brands you end up like this. It all leads to emptiness in the end.

Are all your nostalgic memories and emotions tied back to franchises and billion dollar intellectual properties? You were always just a consumer to those companies. nothing else

I stared at that image for a solid 30 seconds wondering why Natalie Portman looked so strange before I realized what was going on.

>>19736344
Lol are you even 18? Sweet boy, careful we're eating children here

Peak nostalgia for me was 2005.

I can't tell if these mcdonalds threads with star wars and anime shit are bait or not

>>19736694
For me it was around 1997 when i was watching x-files on the living room TV hiding from my parents because I was supposedly too young to watch it. The trips back to my room in the dark were pretty intense, I was literally afraid of meeting an alien.

>>19736344
back when start wars was good and they hadn't saturated the medium to death with spin offs

>>19736468
>Tfw sophomore in highschool in 2012
>Poor as fuck
>Used to hunt for quarters all day at school
>If I was lucky I'd find a dollar in change by the time school let out
>Walk to McDonald's with my friends
>Get a McDouble
>Walk to the park
>The skater kids would let me take a turn on their board if I'd give them some of the cigs I stole from my mom
>A McDouble is now like 3.50
>Cigarettes are now like 6.50 a pack
>Don't see kids playing outside anymore

It's painful to watch, this entire life is about watching things slowly get worse over time

>>19736733
So like 1999?

>>19736468
>tfw went to conventions all through high school
>tfw never fucked a schizo homestuck cosplayer girl
It really was my last chance.

>>19736344
Ain't nothing like eating at micky d's with a mcdouble at seven years old and having shrek 3 looking back at you while my dad demolishes a big Mac wearing one earring because having both ears pierces made you gay. Good times, and the toys are alright especially when they had a boy and girl toy option instead of the globohomo gender neutral shit.

>>19736344
The "days" were 8 years ago? You are still a teenager if you believe this.
>>19736809
Right ear was always the gay ear. The stereotype died in late 2000s. Your dad might have been a buttdart.

>>19736713
Same here except XF didn’t really scare me. Those were good years

>>19736602
>was a different time
I've been on 4chins long enough to see this statement made about 4 separate places in time
faggots here always be wishing tomorrow wouldn't turn into today and that today was more like yesterday

>>19736735
Cigs are $9 a pack minimum now

>>19736344
I want to put my topping on Daisy Ridley's face

>>19736766
I still think about this one.

>>19738522
You shouldn’t smoke anyway

You're Soo manbaby op. What's your bodyfat percentage?

>>19736766
>went to a convention in fucking vegas
>somehow managed to fly home still a virgin
It's honestly astounding how I never fail to fail

Last time I had McDonalds I ended up throwing up all over the fucking toilet. Like they salted the fries to a such a degree in order to hide the old oil they used to fry them in and even the big mac tasted off. Never again.

>>19736344
I miss when they had ketchup pumps.

>>19737169
>faggots here always be wishing tomorrow wouldn't turn into today and that today was more like yesterday

or maybe there is a concerted effort to artifically push culture in one direction via obvious social engineering, intentionally creating a divide between the generations in order to distract the populace from the fact that things arent getting better, they are getting worse as the ruling class attempts to roll back a hundred years of standard of living increases while keeping the technological progression for themselves.

or do you seriously believe there is a future for a civilization that intentionally stops reproducing and intentionally castrates its children? We are quickly approaching a modern bronze-age collapse scenario and you will not survive if you continue to wallow in ignorance and smug self-satisfaction over your ability to voluntarily make your own life worse.

Another thread of poorfags whining that they can't afford a McChicken huh

I'd rather eat at Roy Rogers.

Things are just that shit
