We used to say shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck and then our grandma would come in and throw a sandal at us and make us go outside while yelling at us about Jesus in Spanish.

I had a PS2 at seven and also did this, and stuck pencils in erasers and every other common childhood fidget/boredom activity.

I’ve also seen my younger family/friends do these things lol the common thread of humanity remains as long as you actually pay attention.

No way. There's good humanity that was born when we were born or before and there's the bad generation: you.

That fan is responsible for a lot of people finding out their name was Luke and their best friend was their dad.

Back in my day, I remember not having any entertainment and my (older) brother pouring whole bottles of correction fluid and lighting it on fire as entertainment.

Fun times.

(Actually happened btw, but I wasn't in the US at the time and buildings were made of concrete/cement where I was from, so fire risk was minimal, still... not my fault... it wasn't my idea, my brother is the mischevious one playing with fire)

At seven I was smoking in the fields behind our neighborhood.
