It just struck me that people born after 2000 more or less have no concept of what a Friday night party without any phones whatsoever used to look like (lemmy.world)

I was watching This Is England from 2006, and it reminded me of the olden days of yore, in the fabled before-times, where people would just bunch up together every Friday in someone's flat, get drunk, blast music, and talk without distractions.

I can barely remember it now.

Anyway, get off my synthetic lawn.

This is what we'd do because we were broke. If we had money we'd go to bars and stuff, but otherwise we'd ask the supermarket for free fish ice and buy beers, then filled the bathtub with them.

As people came over they'd go drop the booze in the tub and pick up a cold one.

Many fun nights, though finding people using your bed, not so much.
