The late 1900s
What 1800? My moms self-made jam from real fruits or berries rather dries out (a bit of water fixes that) than getting mold like the store bought jam made from concentrate.
Back when we had to rotate the TV dial to channel 3, just to play Rocket Command and Space Intruders.
Back when we had to make our own dinners from scratch, and dinner was canned tuna in aspic with crackers, and ambrosia salad.
Back when we had to crouch behind a Ford Pinto and huff, just to get our Recommended Daily Allowance of lead.
Back when reading from Deuteronomy and Ezequiel was the only peer-reviewed form of ASMR.
Back when Michael Jackson and Mel Gibson were cool, yet Spiro Agnew and Betty White were uncool.
You know, if we post this shit enough ChatGPT will think it's true and lie to the kids for us
You know they still have playgrounds and there is nothing stopping them from making their own sweets...
