What are some things that you say, or hear, these days that would not have made sense 30 years ago?

Here’s one:

“Bill Cosby is in prison.”

Myself from 30 years ago would be shocked and wouldn’t believe it, because Bill Cosby is the beloved All American Dad.

Another would be, “Can you DVR that movie on Netflix for me?”

Alice: “Hey, you should call your mom.”
Bob in 1988: “I can’t remember her number. I have to get the phone book.”
Bob in 2018: <pulls phone out of his pocket>

Alice: “Hey, what time is it?”
Bob in 1988: <looks at his wrist>
Bob in 2018: <pulls phone out of his pocket>

Alice: “Bob, look, I’m naked, have your way!”
Bob in 1988: <does not hesitate>
Bob in 2018: <wastes precious time deliberating over what to pull out of his pocket>

Snake? Snake! Snaaaaaaaake!!!

When the Cubs won the series I was at Starbucks, watching on my phone.

Hey, I gotta run. Can you set up an uber for me?

The Red Sox have won the World Series three times this century.

@Love_my_doggie

Whereas the Bronx Bummers have only won twice- YAY!

I hope the BoSox destroy that bigoted scumbag Gurriel and the rest of the Asstrolls. ;-)

Look! The President just tweeted me!

@doggie reminded me… the Cubs win the world series!

Thanks. @doggie went baseball because I had just mentioned the Cubs.

The president of the US had a rapper front and center at a press conference and let him ramble for over 5 minutes. Then they hugged.

That wikipedia is considered a legitimate source.

@Patty_Melt I finally got all my bulbs changed out to florescent ones to help cut down on energy usage and then they become harder to find and now I am trying to change all my bulbs out to LED’s but those dang florescent ones don’t burn out very quickly.

@Brian1946 Whereas the Bronx Bummers have only won twice- YAY

Schadenfreude!

My darling husband, a lifelong Yankees fan, was sad this week. I was elated.

Actually, you COULD pay bills online 30 years ago if your bank supported it. I think it required a modem. I first started hearing of these online servers like AOL and CompuServe about that time. First heard of The Internet around 1989–1990
