Ever get an eyelash stuck under your eye lid and ask your SO for an eye cup (used to available at most pharmacies randomly with a lot of purchases, eye related) and they ask “what the hell is an eye cup?

Wondering if I'm a Xennial

0 Upvotes

I was born in 1989. I used to think of myself as a Millenial, but something about being born around the felling of the Berlin Wall is making me think Xennial cusper. This may be like the Zoomers we complain about being born too close to 9/11 and I'm being hypocritical. Xennials being 80s, Millenials being 90s.

Haven’t seen one of these in ages. Anyone else look at these when they were a teen and wish they had a reason to use them? NSFW for comments NSFW

Anyone remember Infocom Feelies?

Growing up, I loved playing Infocom games while listening to Billy Joel's Matter of Trust. I was obsessed with the Princess's heart and the town of Festeron.

Weird Jake Dating Webgame

3 Upvotes

Anyone remember this flash/webgame from the late 90s, where you played a character named "jake" trying to "find the slut" where you'd talk to girls all night until you found one who would sleep with you. Earliest exposure to dating life for me as an impressionable 16 year old.

Anyway, trying to find the name or any record of it. A little help please frens.

Xennial gay guys, do you feel like we were a bit lucky?

19 Upvotes

We came of age (sexually) after AIDS and HIV meant a necessary death sentence. Thanks to everyone who fought for these meds and rights, btw.

The late nineties and Y2K weren't a terrible time to be gay. There was beginning to be representation on TV (Queer as Folk, Will & Grace, Queer Eye).

Online dating and hooking up was a thing (AOL chat rooms, gay .com) but it didn't feel like such an impossible meat market like Grindr and the apps do. The gay bar was still in full swing. We just beat covid, too.

Opinions?

Edit: Damn, I knew this place was straight, but I didn't know it was THIS straight.

Who else resonates with She-Ra Princess of Power (1980s)

32 Upvotes

As a kid in the 1980s, I was glued to the TV every time She-Ra Princess of Power would air. As a boy, they wouldn't let me have the dolls so I had to conform with the Evil Horde figures. Anyhow, there is something about her and the story that I always resonated with even now as an adult. She was kidnapped and raised on a planet that wasn't hers, then discovered the truth about the government she served, discovered who she really is, and used her powers to not only undo what she helped to do on the planet but join the rebellion against the authority. I know that the show was created to sell toys but I think there is a deeper layer underneath that goes beyond entertaining children. Regardless if you believe we have been incarnated in other planets or not, I do believe unconsciously (or not) the writers put many things there to “wake up” indigo children. Am I alone in believing this?
