I think the best example is the PlayStation 2 being discontinued in 2013, as well the PlayStation 1 in 2006
The human race went extinct about 17 years ago. We’re all secretly something else, but we don’t tell you about it until you’re 45.
RIP
HEY! SHHH! You know the rule, and you know the consequences. I’ve said too much.
Salvador Dalí (1904-1989)
Pablo Picasso (1881-1973)
People seem to think they lived mostly or entirely in the 1800’s. The fact that Rick Wakeman of the rock bands Yes and The Strawbs had once pushed Dalí offstage in 1970 is such a weird overlap of eras.
France used the guillotine for the last time in 1977.
There is still one Blockbuster store open, located in Bend, Oregon.
A mainframe computer is probably still processing your paycheck in either your company or the bank.
…and doing at least part of it in COBOL. Random fact: there are about 10,000 mainframe computers still in use around the world.
Audio CDs are still around. While they’re surely not the medium people listen music from, they will most likely be on the merch table at the next concert you go to.
Who thought they weren’t around?
Do people really think audio CDs aren’t around anymore? I bought several audio CDs in the last few years, I prefer to have local copies of music I like rather than depending on a streaming service.
I’m a CD collector, they’re definitely underrated
One of the only things I’ve encountered in life that provides greater joy than sex is the feeling of finding an awesome super underground CD in a $1 garbage bin at the local record shop.
Favorite findings:
Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt, Sad Tropics
Sunswimmer, New Madrid
New Moon Daughter, Cassandra Wilson
The iPod was discontinued in 2022. I’m guessing there’s already a lot of kids who have no idea where the term “podcast” comes from.
The Famicom Disk System, which uses a kind of floppy disk for the Japanese market NES, had kiosks where you could copy games onto disks. The last of those kiosks were removed in 2003 It overlapped the Game Cube.
The last cathode-ray tube televisions were made in 2015.
Being interested in CRT TVs, that’s intresting to know
