"The Evolution of Household Staples: From 1990s Norms to Incomprehensible Relics"

People on Reddit are reminiscing about things that were normal in the 1990s but are rare or nonexistent now. Some of the nostalgic experiences include being unreachable for a day, using disposable cameras, watching music videos on MTV, visiting coin arcades in malls, having printed phone number lists, calling the movie theater for showtimes, playing multiplayer video games in person, showing up unannounced at someone's house, waiting at the airport gate, browsing video rental stores, using the Yellow Pages, giving meeting points for getting lost, writing letters, using hotlines for weather and movie showtimes, using floppy disks, keeping a binder of CDs in the car, having a home telephone and answering machine, using dial-up internet, and enjoying moments of solitude without smartphones.
