It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

The streets were paved with gold and everyone said "hello" to strangers in the street with a smile. Getting a job was a matter of walking up to a person in a suit and giving them a firm handshake. VAR wasn't a thing in sports because the referees got every decision right. Cats and dogs got along fine with each other. Everyone had enough friends to play Goldeneye on N64 multiplayer. People didn't gain weight despite eating no vegetables. They hadn't invented 2nd hand smoking yet so everyone was free to smoke inside without it affecting anyone else. Musicians did drugs but never OD'd, just produced classic albums on demand. People read books constantly and you could expect to strike up a conversation with a petrol station employee about Satre where you'd get caught for hours marveling at their insight. You could have 3 pints at lunch during the working day with your boss. Concorde took you across the Atlantic in a matter of hours. Everyone had a tamagotchi and none of them starved.
and the weed was better too. That might just be the high tolerance speaking though.
The not gaining weight despite a shitty diet thing is kinda real, at least.
This is what they took from us.
