It's pretty well known that Tumblr can escalate quickly, such as taking a small thing and making it snowball into a grandiose rumination on life and everything. Just one image of a laminated paper towel inspired questions about life, existence and purpose.

Some of these are kind of cool. Some of these are a little shocking. Some of them are gross. Some of them are straight-up weird. Post World War II America was a place of seemingly endless prosperity. How this attitude resulted with ads for putting Mayo on pears and putting chow mein in a can, we'll never know. The snapshot of the past is interesting enough, especially with some of the stuff here that never caught on.
Just look at them snap. Look at that painful, stilted movement. There's something strange going on behind those '80s eyes. It's almost as if they're thinking "look at us, we will never not be cool." Oh man were they wrong.
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 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!
This bout of funny, creative inspiration follows Donald Trump recently tweeting out that he was slated to be Time Person of the Year, until the magazine itself had to reach out on Twitter, to correct the fake news from the dude himself. We're impressed with the results. These are pretty great.
Just a few weeks after President Trump was exposed for sharing fake Time covers at his golf covers, Time returned the favor with this particularly negative 'honorary' cover to his son, Donald Trump Jr. --- a clear reference to the recent controversy surrounding his released emails and ongoing collusion with the Russia investigation.
Quick impression of Twitter this morning:
"Ah! What a beautiful morning. I’ll just roll over and look at my phone. Oh, look at that, TIME picked their person of the year, and it’s… Oh, would you look at that? That billionaire reality TV game show host who won the presidency last month is TIME’s person of the year? You don’t say. Well, back to bed for me for the next four years."
Before our president-elect Tweets out that the Person of the Year honor he won was rigged somehow, enjoy what Twitter had to say. They weren’t really sure how to deal with it either.
Check out Twitter's best reactions to the Person of the Year, and enjoy how President-elect Trump has enjoyed TIME in the past:

When Lydia Coutré took a trip to study abroad in Italy she took along some digital versions of her mom's old vacation slides. She matched up locations and camera shots to recreate the same photos her mother took 30 years ago. Now she's got side by side snapshots of how things have changed since then.
