The 90s were an innocent time, where the idea of a guy removing a rib in order to suck himself off was the most outrageous thing we could imagine.

What? The Rodeny King beating and subsequent riots, OJ Simpson murdering 2 people, Columbine, the first time the WTC was bombed, 1500 people died near Mecca, and like 3 civil wars in Africa

There was also the rumor of the actor who put the hamster up their bum.

It was all innocent stupidity and none of it was malicious though.

Maybe OP should have used the word ridiculous instead of outrageous. Removing ribs for such a thing is ridiculous IMO.

Not to mention all the shit that wasn't being captured on any kind of recording at the time.

The rose tint feels so fuckin good tho, right?

The Quuuuuill

yeah and for a lot of people who'd be using lemmy, the reason they weren't aware of all this shit is our parents kept us safe from it

I mean - I probably got to live the very best of the 90s Americana as a suburban kid with an old computer and a modem in it.

I still saw a lot of shit going on in the world. I mean ... AIDS pandemic, anyone? Remember fear around shaking someone's hand?

Sometimes I think the problem is that at any GIVEN time, like 2/3 of people aren't paying attention to what is happening outside their own immediate experience.

I think "bizarre" would be more fitting

Sorry bud, but I think you just used to be more innocent.

Just look at the celebrities and culture of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s... Even the whole outrage culture pushed by conservative media like Fox News also goes that far back!

The fashion of the day changes but humanity itself.. not so much!

What about Ozzy eating a bat on stage?

What's the mecca thing? I don't remember that one

AmidFuror

It was a long time before that when (allegedly) a rib was removed from a man to create the first woman so he wouldn't have to suck it himself.

Or when Ozzy wouldn't go on stage without a brandy glass full of M&Ms?

Maybe OP was simply a child then? Children arent usually exposed to / aware of the total shitstorm that is politics.

Was that Ozzy? Whoever it was, it was a request for a bowl of only brown M&Ms backstage and their reasoning was that, if that request wasn't fulfilled, whoever was responsible didn't do their job and they'd assume that other, necessary stuff also wasn't done properly. Kind of a canary, in a way.
