as a kid i had a phone card. they were introduced the year i was born and by the time i was eight, the payphones no longer took cash.
turns out, when living out in the country there aren't that many payphones either. i could call home from school, which was a few towns over from where i lived, or from the bus terminal which was in yet another town even further away. it was a strange time, but we made it work for like seven years.
If someone is legitimately asking this, they’re a fucking idiot. As a GenX there were tons of stuff that was outdated by the time I was around, but not once was there reason to believe it was made up.
I’d imagine the large majority of these “I’m so young! I don’t know what a pager is!” Is just typical “look at me!” Bullshit.
Especially considering that this dumbass has the entire world’s worth of information at their fingertips and could easily just shut up and google it if they were actually wanting to know.
Man, I do really love a lot of the internet culture, but this shit I wish never happened. The whole fake meme conversation… it’s so incredibly cringey and embarrassing.
Meh, scroll on and ignore it. How in the hell do you have the energy to get that excited about a stupid Internet post? Cut the kids some slack, they've never not had attention. You don't have to give them yours.
You’re assuming I exert this energy on every single post like this. Misconception. Just finally had a moment to speak my mind on it.
In my city there is only 1 payphone (that I know off) and it is literally just used as a decoration. Like red box for 1 person. It probably had it's use in the past, but now is mere decoration in city centre.
Excellently used alongside cell phones in the high school neo-noir film Brick.
