The Not So Distant Past

The Space Shuttle Challenger launched from Kennedy Space Center on January 28, 1986, carrying seven crew members, including teacher Christa McAuliffe. Just 73 seconds into flight, the shuttle broke apart due to a failed O-ring seal in the right solid rocket booster, exacerbated by unusually cold weather. Hot gases escaped and caused the external fuel tank to rupture, leading to a catastrophic explosion. All seven astronauts were killed, prompting a major investigation and a 32-month suspension of NASA’s shuttle program.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Do you remember where you were when this event occurred?

@GroksRules 😹😹😹

@MemoryLaneTime Just a friendly reminder to my friends younger than 42: You don’t have to put everything online anymore. That was for your puberty era. You're free.

Just a friendly reminder to my friends older than 42: You don’t have to put 2 spaces after the period anymore. That was for the typewriter era. You're free

@Stick_NCA Not gonna lie That thing is beautiful

@MemoryLaneTime Imagine taking advice from a budget machine typist.

@ChuckMurison I shall try your way for one week

@MemoryLaneTime I will always use two spaces. It makes sentences stand out. It started with typesetting. I will always use two spaces. It makes sentences stand out. It started with typesetting. Notice the difference? Which would you prefer when reading?

@ThrillaRilla369 I’m not that old 😂

@MemoryLaneTime Who here is old enough to remember when typing was a class in high school?🏫 🤔

If you know you know Lint licker

Who else remembers the little bell you’d hear when you’d pull up to the gas pump at the station?

We all had that TV in the 90s Take me back

Name a better N64 game I’ll wait

A poor people food you’ll always eat no matter how much money you have? Egg sandwiches 🥪 🥚 🍳

Therapist: When did your anxiety start? Me: In elementary school when I used to count ahead to figure out which paragraph I'd have to read so I could practice in my head.

I'm so old I can remember when paper bags were destroying the world and plastic was gonna save us all.

@ThrillaRilla369 Smash the window Let me out!

It’s 90 degrees out and you see a dog in a hot vehicle with the windows up and it’s locked… What do you do.. Do you bust the window? 🚗 🐶

@ThrillaRilla369 Mike Trout is a top 5 MLB player of all time 🤷‍♂️

@ThrillaRilla369 Trash

What’s the first thing you think of when you see Stephen Colbert ?

@ThrillaRilla369 @SGTWipper1Each Feminism isn’t rooted in reality

Men only and that’s not a knock. Feminism has many believe women can do anything a man can do and that’s just not true. Not because they’re less then but because they’re not men. Just like men can’t do everything a woman can do. There’s a reason why men in dresses don’t belong in women’s sports and it’s because they’re built different. I want the strongest and fastest next to me and idc what anyone says. You’re strongest and fastest woman on her best day isn’t beating the last place man in a competition of 50. 🤷‍♂️

For 10 years, women have been allowed to fill all combat roles in the US military. Should they continue or should the positions go back to men only?

@bitsy_smitty @ThrillaRilla369 @SGTWipper1Each Delusional

@ThrillaRilla369 @SGTWipper1Each OK you have outed yourself as a sexist creep. I don't like you. Women can do everything men can do, we just do it better.
