At what time of your life were you the most distressed?

For Me it’s Thalassophobia you guys

I usually competitive with my garden and cooking.

I recently remembered when I was 5 years old there was this older girl who was my neighbor always looked out for me. I believe she was likely in her younger teenage years. She’d always care for me and when I returned from school on the bus no one was home at the time so she invited me to her house. I barely remember her appearance I don’t even remember her name. I hope she is doing well even if I never see her again(my grandma told me her family moved out of my hometown) I wished I remembered her name. When I share this story with others some related to having random grown person making them feel safe as a kid but don’t remember their name either. I wonder if other people experience this.

for example, i love when people go to amusement parks or ride rides for some reason, and i love when there’s cheerleaders doing stunts and tumbling and all that cheer stuff 😂

For me, I think I’m at the lowest point of my life right now mentally

What about you? When was life the hardest for you?
Tell me your story.

I got some real cool funko pops from a whole collection from someone who didn’t want them. Each was $5 and I grabbed about 5 Funkos so it was a good deal.

Considering nostalgia marketing has been a popular way to connect with customers and Nickelodeon/Nick Jr are popular companies, I'm kinda surprised that they never brought back the old 2004-2007 Dora branding for the toys. Dora the Explorer has been one of their most successful shows and yet they never want to reissue the old Dora toys and branding for the new generation of kids. Yes I know that they do nostalgia marketing on their social media page with clips from the original Dora show and they have a dora reboot with the new toys but those just aren't enough for people who are nostalgic for the original Dora show. Older people on TikTok have even given their old Dora toys to their little kids, gosh it's pretty surprising how Nickelodeon never took notice of people giving their old dora toys to their kids and think that reissuing the old dora toys would give them benefit. I mean they used the old spongebob logo for a t shirt once and they have made shirts with retro nickelodeon characters on them. so I don't understand why they do not nostalgia market with the old dora. If anyone knows, feel free to comment.

EDIT - I also know that they made loungefly backpacks with Dora on them but that's not the same as bringing back the old dora toys, I'll say

I live on the 5th floor. What say you?

All little kids discovering LLMs in the future is scary.

Even the adults nowadays rely on them while spewing bullshit hallucinations

I saw a picture the other day. It was a really old picture from the early 1900's of all these really well dressed people at the beach on a hot summer day. It didn't look like a special event, it just looked like a day at the beach.

Everyone looked great but it got me thinking about how bad people must have smelled. With today's access to clean running water, high tech washing machines, deodorants and body products, it would make far more sense for people today to dress like that.

Back then, they should have been wearing shorts and t shirts, instead of sweating like hogs and then having to wash three peice suits and ball gowns down in the river.

I don't expect anyone from that time to be on reddit to give a first hand account of why they dressed like they did... i just wonder why they made life so much harder on themselves when things were hard enough already.
