I remember seeing this hyped a few years ago.
Not surprised to see it coming back; hygienics will be pushed as an argument for eliminating physical cash.

Some sort of bread restaurant.

They sell outrageously overpriced small servings of stuff.

I wish the 70s would make a comeback, I was too young to appreciate that decade the first time around.

Amen to that.

I always pine for the 80s, but that's because I was totally old enough to experience it; while I guess we were both kids for all of the 70s.

Of course, that made seeing Star Wars cool for us.

Ah, yes, to experience the one, solitary week when MTV actually played music...

[ - ] lord_nougat 0 points 1.1 yearsMar 22, 2023 20:18:28 ago (+0/-0)

It was shitty music, but at least it was music! And there were attractive people moving around and bright colors and stuff!

70s + 80s forever...

I hate when people cheap out and only replace the one burned out headlight bulb with a different type.
