    I have to get something off my chest. In the 90s, I was the little shit stain that was using these at the movie theatre. I apologize to all the Gen Xers that I pissed off. ✊🙏😢

      The last time a kid tried that in a theater, the audience booed so hard that we didn’t see it for the rest of the film. We probably scared the shit out of him, haha.

            Well sure, but that’s a thing we have in common, much like hating on boomers. What did Gen-X do to offend?

                …I hate to admit it, but I’m lost. Who’s who in this meme? Also, if you’re gonna be hostile, Simpsons is OURS not yours, find your own memes.

                  Dude step back a second. Remember this scene? He’s about to get attacked by bees. It’s his sugar pile. Season like… 3 or 4. He just pulls a random british dude out who says he “nicked it for his tea and he’d do it again”.

    I’ve seen so many of these as a child only to be disappointed that all of the laser pointers are out of battery and I never could find a shop that sells them.

        Sort of, they required those tiny ones, and there were a number of standards IIRC. Most importantly, we’ve thrown those laser pointers away now. Now I got batteries but not lasers.

          I found a laser pointer at PetCo this weekend that charges via USB. Just remove the cap on the end, and plug it in like a flash drive. No cable necessary. Never seen one that didn’t require the three little batteries, so I snatched it up so quickly.
