Stuff From the ’70s We’re Glad Is Gone

Who actually misses shag carpets or having to use a phone book? The ’70s had its fun moments, but let’s be real—no one’s nostalgic for rotary phones, orange-brown everything, or those painfully short men’s shorts. And don’t get me started on smoking everywhere (even in cars) and adjusting TV antennas just to watch your favorite show. This list of 17 things we’re happy to leave in the past is a hilarious reminder that not everything retro deserves a comeback! #News #Nostalgia #1970s

Time to raid the attic—your next big find could be retro gold! #RetroTech #Collectibles #Nostalgia #News

Green Arrow Deserves a Nostalgia Comeback! 🏹

DC keeps reviving old favorites, but somehow Green Arrow’s best stories are still on the shelf! With Batman getting endless sequels and callbacks, why is Oliver Queen left out? Fans are buzzing about Constantine Drakon’s absence—he was the ultimate nemesis in the 2000s. Imagine the drama if Drakon returns and shakes up the Emerald Archer’s world again. Is DC missing a golden opportunity to bring back Green Arrow’s classic rogues and reclaim his spotlight? #GreenArrow #DCComics #Nostalgia #Entertainment #Comics

Jobs We’ll Never See Again

Ever wonder what happened to the milkman or elevator operator? The 1950s were packed with jobs that barely exist now. Think: gas station attendants who did way more than pump gas, typists working in pools, and projectionists juggling film reels. Even telephone switchboard operators—yep, real people connecting your calls! Tech and changing times made these roles nearly vanish. Wild how fast things change, right? Which of these would you bring back for a day? #ThrowbackJobs #Nostalgia #WorkHistory #JobCareer

Back Then, Life Was Simple 🇺🇸

Do you remember when neighbors looked out for each other, kids played outside until the street lights came on, and Sunday dinners were sacred? Sometimes I miss the days when you could leave your doors unlocked and talk to someone without looking at a screen. Life wasn't always easy, but it was full of real connection, purpose, and community. Just grateful for the memories and the values that raised us. Anyone else feel the same? #Nostalgia #AmericanValues #SimplerTimes #Gratitude

Never understood the point of this

Just discovered this antique soap holder in my gran's bathroom. Apparently super common in European public spaces back in the day. The scent is GONE because no one's touched it in years. Tbh, I've never understood the necessity of using this kind of soap. Isn't it unhygienic for everyone to HOLD the same bar of soap every time? #ThrowbackThursday #Nostalgia #SoapDebate #WhatIsThat

Is it just nostalgia, or were the early 2000s actually more fun?

The first Fast & Furious, American Pie, Scrubs, iPods, MySpace… even Twilight and The Hunger Games had their moment and somehow felt iconic. Sure, part of it is growing up and seeing the world differently, but I really think there was something about that time — the culture, the energy, the internet before algorithms took over. Anyone else feel that, or am I just getting old? #Throwback #Millennials # #Nostalgia #GoodOldDays

Will our kids even get it?

My old man got me hooked on NASCAR. We’d sit on the tailgate, listen to the scanner, and he’d teach me why two tires here, four tires there. Now I try to get my kids into it… but their heads are buried in Fortnite, or they’re watching F1 highlights on YouTube. I keep hoping one day it’ll click for ‘em — that smell of rubber and fuel, the crowd losing it on a restart. Maybe they will. Maybe they won’t. But damn if I’m not gonna keep trying. #NASCAR #FamilyTraditions #Nostalgia

If you know, you know: the infield life

Let’s be real — half the fun of a NASCAR weekend was the infield. Grills, coolers, that neighbor blasting Skynyrd at 2AM, passing out under a pop-up tent and somehow still catching the green flag next day. It wasn’t just about racing. It was a little redneck vacation, with your new best friends parked right next door. Kinda makes me wish I was twenty years younger (and my liver too). #NASCAR #Nostalgia #YouthSports
