nostalgia

Oh, to be a kid again. The bliss of not having to worry about that crazy thing called adulting. Bills, you say? I'll take a nap in my mountainous pillow fort, thank you. The nostalgia is so real it hurts in this viral Twitter hashtag. 

If you experienced childhood somewhere around the turn of the century, then quite a few of of these pictures might hit you right in the memory nads. Remember back when you had to drive to a store to rent videos? Wild. If you want more '90s nostalgia, then check these out.

These life hacks will probably never have to be used again in all of human history, but the nostalgia is fun. If these had you pining for a simpler time of dial-up internet and bigger pants, then check these nostalgic images out.

The King of Twitter Banter strikes again! Ryan Reynolds seized the opportunity to clap back at a throwback pic posted by his buddy, Hugh Jackman, on Twitter. These two and their roast friendly friendship are a great source of entertainment to us all. 

Don't forget that time Ryan Reynolds teamed up with John Krasinski to roast Hugh Jackman. Relive that memory here!

These throwback images are wrapped up in good feels. They might awaken in you a desire to look back through that rose-colored lens of nostalgia, to a goldie oldie of a time, when you chewed on OUCH! bubble gum, while wielding your very own power glove. So, enjoy a look back at an era since passed!

If you've ever been caught up in the middle of listening to one of these obnoxious club bangers, you've my sincerest condolences. 

When I die, bury me in a Pizza Hut buffet. I don't care what it takes, make it happen. When Imgur User, Whiskers7, spotted a Pizza Hut restaurant with the buffet, they decided to cruise through for a nostalgic tour of past time that should really make a comeback. On their visit, they were quick to see a self serve soft serve, a pasta station, garlic bread slices, and a mountainous spread of glorious, 'ZA. Like, what else could you want. Let's bring this sh*t back already, Pizza Hut. 

Say what you will about kids today, we haven't seen hair this big since the 1980s. How did this ever go out of style?

Music's a crazy thing. It has the power to take us to a place outside the present moment, to a memory of where we heard a particular song play. It can reconstruct our mood, and throw us into the sublime or pained or bittersweet haze of a place, embedded as a moment in time, that has since passed. These 15 people shared their music memories from their childhoods, and it's a bit of an emotional rollercoaster! 

Writer Ariel Dumas asked people what stuff they used to think were the height of luxury. Turns out everyone had similar childhoods. Even Jaegermeister dropped into the conversation, to be met with a pretty solid slam.

Everyone who has flipped a board will remember the pain and loss that went into game night. You might get a little nostalgic with these too-accurate game titles.

You were about to be in a world of pain if your pant pockets weren't big enough for that sickass CD player. 

The Mario Kart one needs to make a comeback like yesterday. 

Nothing like trying to set up that end of the year, video conference call from your childhood bedroom with all manners of childhood-themed embarrassment, surrounding you. Just rock that shit with pride!
