we had an electronic toy bucket with a clown nose that shot its own balls out of its mouth and the game was you’d gather them up from around the room and shove them back in its stupid bucket head and it would suck its balls up and throw ‘em back out and you’d repeat that and pretend it was fun for more than five minutes.

what do you think made us millennials the way we are? tbh i think zoomers are cool. they’re doing alright. they’re like my younger sibling. we were raised by the same bullshit.

The kinds of clown toys GenX had were those dolls you'd punch but they wouldn't stay down because the bottom was full of sand.

And now look at em

I just want POGs to make a comeback.

I don't know if I qualify, as I was born at the tail end of 1999. I've found bits and pieces of fun in all the generations. I guess it's about immersion. I'm told nobody in the 60's questioned what a smurf was.
