Mine too, lmao. There were many sticks, but there was one old fence pillar that was like a meter and a half long, perfectly cylindrical and noone knew what fence it was even from, but it was the most legendary weapon to the kids strong enough to wield them. Dark Souls Giant Club moment
30:49 DO NOT HOLD LIGHT SWITCHES IN THE MIDDLE. It produces an electric arc and slowly melts stuff until either it's broken, or your house burns down. There is a reason why switches snap so easily from one side to another.
Want to know how old i feelt... Was buying an energy drink, the cashier asked for ID, gave it, looked at it for sec and gave it back, i asked if she saw it to be sure, she said, yeah, beacuse it started with 19... I coughed mummydust...
35:30 not using your hands to tilt the bowl to drink the milk inside is a symptom of parents not teaching their kids to not be messy eaters at the table, which is why those bowls exist at all; basically, if parents buy those bowls, it means they don't love their kids enough to teach them proper table manners. When I told my mom about those bowls when I was 10, because my friends had them at their houses, that's what she told me. She also told me they looked like a pain to wash clean, even in a dishwasher. It was a bit after that that i kind of passed this bit of wisdom to my friends and after a month, they donated those bowls, and a bunch of those other messy eater plates to a Goodwill or somewhere and got real plates. My own take away from typing all this is that, as a dishwasher, I couldn't agree more and that probably if I saw those at a restaurant, I would never eat there.
I’m realizing that a LOT of the “bedtime” disconnect stems entirely from how close to school you lived. In the US we have to go to sleep early bc they needed to get up early to catch a 45min or longer bus ride just to get to school. My bus picked me up at 6:50AM for example.
The fighting over a stick Paws mentioned was nostalgic. Ours wasn't always a stick though. Oh! Also, Rima, you basically described South Park, the stick of truth. Kids having massive natttles for control of the stick. I'd recommend playing it if you haven't.
So if anyone is familiar with the Canadian streamer/RUclipsr, his mascot is a bag of milk with eyes, a mouth, and a spinney hat. Something tells me that the meme with the chocolate and strawberry milk in a bag is more of a thing with Canadian schools. Don't know much about Canada, I went to school in the US state of Pennsylvania.
So Paws was larping Stick of Truth before it was even a thing lol I can only imagine the freakout the wimps these days would have if a kid pretended a stick was a gun.
0:14 Hi Paws! Vsauce.... I mean, COMMENTS HERE! Edit: Computer lab - mostly us doing the work in 5 minutes, then we grabbed CS 1.6/Source, WC3 Hero Line Wars/Dota or Metin 2 and played until the teacher threw us out 😂 good times 16:30 That were a really good jelly sweets, iirc in Europe (the sweets series name is Trolli , name of the sweets: MiniBurgers). They were kinda expensive and mostly the family friends/relatives working in Germany were "dealing" them. There was a whole economy made because of them in the school yard
the yellow, white, and red cables are analog cables used before USB cables. They are still used in certain applications. Go to the electronics section of any store, and you will see them still being sold
27:52 This is true. I would be outside in the yard somewhere, and hear my dad use the PA system he added to his CB radio to tell me to come inside. He wouldn't even get up to look out the window.
Paws, the waiting at the cashier for your parents meme is about the kid being told to wait for a moment while the cashier keeps ringing up the items and parents go to fetch something else. They would always take way too long to get back. Inevitably the cashier would finish and give you THE LOOK. (That very annoyed look that the line is being held making its work harder.) The mental trauma happens because as kid you don't have the money to pay and move out of the way or the agency to do anything to solve the problem so you are stuck there motionless with everyone in line looking at you. Kids that go through this multiple times can develop anxiety attacks whenever they have to go to stores.
Lucky. The ice cream cups around here don't include the little wooden spoons anymore. I was hoping to use some as a cosplay prop, but couldn't find them anywhere.
If you think really hard about it... We spent more time as species swinging sticks at everything than the time we know how to make iron tools... So it is probably something imprinted in our genetic memory to imagine sticks as weapons.
20:15 The dumbest belief I had as a child was whenever I was inside at home. When I wanted to watch TV, I would always go to this thing that turns the tv on by a remote and then say "abracadabra turn the TV on." When I said those words, the TV turned on. Many years later, I told my mom about it, saying if it was true. Turns out... it was a lie. My childhood is ruined.
38:48 the thing about this is that cashiers can simply put your order on hold and another customer can get their turn. I don't know if it always worked like this but as kids, we don't understand this is possible 48:35 I'm very jealous right now 54:05 all of the above
Paws playing on the teacher private PC, meanwhile i got to school 30 min earlier, waited in the line around 10 15 min for playing 10min, on browsers flashpay gameme or just the WIN 95/98 base games...
Middle school taught me everything from the high school curriculum for the programming and PC focused classes. They started to teach from the basics again in high school (since most middle schools didn't teach the material), so I had 4 years of "repeat info" classes sadly.
what do i remember most about my childhood? um.... being afraid of the dark.... and my mom argueing with my dad because he didint want me watching dora the explorer because she was spanish... i never understood why he was like that, nor did i agree. (edit) paws the "have you seen a kid these days" was talking about the usa kids AKA brain-rot central.
I would take those rubber balls, and have me and my brother stand in the middle of a hallway while I launched them into the wall so it bounced between them and we would play "child russian roulette" tryimg not to get hit
57:43 everyone screamed at us every single time a snowball was tossed, shit changed from let them learn to coddle the hell out of them in the 90's and im very thankful most of my childhood was on the let them learn side,
I just had this memory of going to my little sister's room and seeing a table full of naked barbie dolls because she strips all of them for some reason.
The sleep for dinner thing wasn't being sent to bed without dinner. It was there's nothing to eat in the house and no money to buy anything to eat. So you just go to bed soon as you can so you don't have to feel miserable from being hungry. Thankfully they had to provide you the free version of lunch by law at school. I can't tell you how much of a godsend that was growing up. If not for that we wouldnt have gotten to eaten at all for a week or two at a time sometimes. Those free lunches were a life saver for real. The bowls with the straws in them were part of the us governments "got milk" campaign as a way to get kids to drink more milk. I remember at one point they were even coming in the box with just about all kids cereals. I thought they were gross to eat out of as a kid bc i saw nobody ever cleaned the straws out on the ones we had.
Not gonna lie, the mental image of a little Paws in a car seat, including the ears and fluffy tail, brings me a little joy today. 😊
paws childhood really had a version of south park the stick of truth lol
Mine too, lmao. There were many sticks, but there was one old fence pillar that was like a meter and a half long, perfectly cylindrical and noone knew what fence it was even from, but it was the most legendary weapon to the kids strong enough to wield them.

you mean the most precious reading time has arrived?

Too late, tell that to the past versions of everyone
when i was small i thought "puberty" was a facility where you enter and get out as an adult
Witch paws is something I thought I would have never needed but here we are
Paws makes the cutest witch for sure
The DVD one hit hard cause I freaking LOST MY DVD CASE
Same i remember when i got bored i would open it like a super secret case looking for the right DVD to watch on my mom laptop
give a thumbs up if you know what a GAME CUBE is
I've heard of them. But I never had one
Want to know how old i feelt...
Was buying an energy drink, the cashier asked for ID, gave it, looked at it for sec and gave it back, i asked if she saw it to be sure, she said, yeah, beacuse it started with 19...

If you had Allie's playhouse, Math Blaster and/or Timon & Puumba's Jungle Games on your family's PC, you had some good ass games 😆
I stuck those stars to my ceiling, I liked space.

"I come from a country that always had good download speeds" Not in the days of the 56K modem you didn't 🤣
Ikr and pictures loaded one bar of the screen at a time

Its really only a thing in the eastern Canadian provinces. Once you get to Manitoba and go more west it becomes less of a thing.
So Paws was larping Stick of Truth before it was even a thing lol I can only imagine the freakout the wimps these days would have if a kid pretended a stick was a gun.
That first one sure brought back memories
54:06 I pretended it's was a grenade launcher xD

4:30 tfw Paws is a beaver in wolf's clothing 🤣
53:47 My dad sometimes joked by telling me "R1" because in Hungarian it sounds like 'go quickly'.. i WAS the remote..
for some reason i read my own comment like four times to make sure i typed it out correctly, while thinking 'that's a good ass comment'...
When I was in school, you had to "Ace" (get straight A's) 3 years of Algebra class, before you could even look at a computer

Some people were really… talented
The first meme was My childhood. I didn't have the money to get an "actual" toy Gun.
you know your old once you start reminising about your childhood
3:45 literally said the exact same thimg at the exact same time, word for word. Wooden spoon gang
Lucky. The ice cream cups around here don't include the little wooden spoons anymore. I was hoping to use some as a cosplay prop, but couldn't find them anywhere.
33:54 It's Miss Trunchbull
28:54
Floppy Disks.
Im not even in my mid-20s yet.
58:00 CGP Grey, "A Crime Against Childhood". He says it all.

Also, to the guy in chat at 18:17 who put ammunition in a fire: what the HELL, man? 😂😂😂
i remember spending a good majority of my summer school playing a pirated copy of minecraft 😂
46:40 God, I also had that Melman toy.
I learned math the real way! Using your Brain, not letting a machine do it for you
3:41 funny actualy the place i rent now has the stars and Casper as a bonus 👍
48:38 I still remember the day that my Kettcar was given away 🥲
54:12 stick a Balloon at the back and create a Peagun 😅
Sleep and schedule are words that don't go in the same sentence 😅
32:35
They're being sarcastic.
Good to know your age group can't keep up with sarcasm LOL.

that Halloween costume is wild
'Tis adorable indeed

1:00:52 pretty soon summer and winter break or any other type of downtime other than the weekends, are going to disappear because of school BS.
My struggle meal was just ketchup and bread
She's happier in this video
You knew everything from high school by age 11? 13:00
Middle school taught me everything from the high school curriculum for the programming and PC focused classes. They started to teach from the basics again in high school (since most middle schools didn't teach the material), so I had 4 years of "repeat info" classes sadly.
16:52
AV cables. left audio, right audio, and video
25 to 35 years ago fast internet was 10kb :D Music was still 5mb and some games a whole disk or two :D
hello there, big ears
Somehow a huge chunk of the video is Paws confessing her love for wood and spiky balls.
what do i remember most about my childhood? um.... being afraid of the dark.... and my mom argueing with my dad because he didint want me watching dora the explorer because she was spanish... i never understood why he was like that, nor did i agree.
(edit) paws the "have you seen a kid these days" was talking about the usa kids AKA brain-rot central.
Who else think paws deserves 100k subscribers
I would take those rubber balls, and have me and my brother stand in the middle of a hallway while I launched them into the wall so it bounced between them and we would play "child russian roulette" tryimg not to get hit
Those are not Barbie. Those are Miss Hester Mofet and Benjamin Raspail.
51:03 I am so glag I grew up before mario kart was bs, or at least you couldn't feel the bs
57:43 everyone screamed at us every single time a snowball was tossed, shit changed from let them learn to coddle the hell out of them in the 90's and im very thankful most of my childhood was on the let them learn side,

I remeber when in my schools they banned toilet paper
Oh wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere is my hairbrush!
"Brownies?..."
Cosmic Brownies. Whether in grade school or elsewhere, those are worth their weight in gold.
25 KG????! God dam, what the hell. i don't remember how much i weight at 14, but there is no way i wasn't at least 2 times your weight
Also you should try reacting to some of Emkay's videos, it's a channel that covers Reddit stuff
And their narrators have emotional range unlike Vaazkl's Cardboard Cutout impression
