Did anyone need any more proof that kids are stupid and weird? Probably not. We remember all the times we tried to hide behind a window or cried because we ate all of our french fries. Most of us grow out of it, but we also leave behind too many moments that prove kids are dumb and weird.

Most people who grew up in the 80s and 90s remember the peculiar angular pastel interior of a fast food place, the lawlessness of a McDonald's play place, the absolute need to get a specific happy meal toy, and the peculiar flavor of Hi-C orange drink. What a weird time. If this gets your nostalgia motot running, here's some 90s nostalgia from simpler times.
As you age, your sense of self changes, and you realize that your personality is based mostly on commercials and the fact that you used to have more cartilage in your knees. Aging starts at your first encounter with utter BS and continues with factors you didn't anticipate about adulthood, but in the end, you're better for it.
Everyone has a memory from their childhood that made them first realize that adults are at worst full of hate and at best, full of shit. There are blatant cases of favoritism, obvious lies, and straight up unfair policies. Sometimes students rebelled against unfair school rules, but typically you just had to roll with it.
Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the most trivial things people miss from their childhood. Oh, to be a kid again. It's a strange time when if one is lucky, their world isn't burdened by the wealth of "adulting concerns" that otherwise can haunt one's existence as they grow older.
Someone on AskReddit got a fun thread going that really takes us back. Yes, we're looking at the dumbest fears that various folks had as kids. Maybe some of those fears have been carried on into adulthood. There's no telling what the overactive, vivid imagination of a kid will dream up. From there it can be a real minefield of various, competing fears.
At this point we can pretty conclusively say that there have been simpler times. So here are some memory-jogging images of things like toys and TV shows for people who grew up in the 90s and maybe a little bit into the early 00s. Hey man, it's something. And here are some nostalgic memes for the 80s and 90s kids.
People are sharing the weirdest and most outlandish things they believed as children. It's no surprise that our minds are ripe for hatching up all kinds of irrational and creative beliefs, while we're kids. Whether it's something fun like believing in a Cheerios Bee, or maybe something more sinister like believing in a scary alien creature that lives in the vents in your house; kids really dig deep for what they believe could be a real thing.
Whether it's by design, some weird implication, or just a chimp going crazy on live television, people remember some of the stranger, creepier and more messed up points from their favorite TV shows as kids. Here are some funny moments of cartoon logic about the times that make less sense.
There's something special about seeing a product or thing that you haven't thought about once in 20 years. There's something satisfying about those little "a-ha" moments you get from remembering a toy you used to have, a commercial you saw over and over again or seeing a twitter thread that takes a voyage through being in school in the 90s.
We all know that kids are weird and stupid. We remember being dumb as rocks at that age too, so it's not a surprise. They get things wrong, have really strange obsessions, freak out over nothing, say mean things and make ridiculous mistakes. Children are strange and stupid people who deserve to be made fun of.
Twitter user melmadara led everyone down memory lane with a powerfully nostalgic thread. Anyone near an elementary school somewhere around the 90s will remember the smelly jerseys, stressful multiplication tables, and fruitlessly attempting to use a recorder. For more, here are some nostalgic memes for the 80s and 90s kids as well as some funny 90s life hacks.
It's no myth that children are bizarre and stupid. They believe every lie, have a horrible sense of logic, and a lot of them can't read. So it makes sense that many of us remember the incredibly dumb things we believed as children. Some of them even make some sense before you remember how stupid you were.
Get out the walk man, fiddle with the cords to plug in the SNES and call up the neighbor kids, cause these returned us to a time in our lives that we completely took for granted. To continue chasing the dragon of your own youth, here are some funny nostalgic 90s life hacks. For the more decrepit among us, here's 70s and 80s nostalgia.
