Yup,
Hated those things and probably why I dropped that major. I was (is) dumb, oh what I could have been
Anyone ever use one of these cheese graters

As long as we're talking about obsolete educational technology, who remembers being the lucky kid that got to sit next to one of these and wait for the beep?

I'm old enough to remember using empty toilet paper sleeves for ice cream.
Could never fully erase a bubble. Was always worried I'd get it wrong bc of the ghost bubble
I took a typing class in high school thinking it would be an easy grade (it was). Little did I know that I would ge using it every day in my professional career in the software business after switching majors from music performance!
Oh yes... My first class in computer programming was using punch cards. it was a glorious day when we found out in the 102 class that we could start using the green screen monitors instead! No more fear of "dropping your deck" on the way to getting them read.Yup,

I absolutely remember those! I had no idea they weren't used anymore.
I don't really get it. I used to use these in school I think through high school. I always thought it was because the teacher was lazy and didn't want to grade a free-response test even when we had tablets in classrooms (those didn't have a way of blocking the internet). Im 28 for reference so maybe I'm also old?
How about these?

Who remembers the cloth hand drying machines in the bathrooms? Those things had to be cesspools. I bet that's where Covid actually originated from.
Wow, good times. I loved the smell of fresh mimeograph tests (not the tests, just the smell). I wore my bobcusy's to school and used a book strap (no backpacks back then). My first time card was a punch card that we manually verified for every employee in the group. And when power windows and air conditioners came out for cars, we were styling. Anybody remember your car not starting because the carburetor was clogged (black billowing smoke if it even started)?

You will never conquer golf.
I see most of you are just yougins I was born in 54 and I remember no phones unless you had the money to get one of those old hand ringer phones. I never forget the first party line in our area (we thought party lines were so cool because we could listen in on the local gossip).
Some other things that come to mind - outhouses, outside wells for water, TV was of the devil, dancing was evil, 25 cent gas was super cool (I remember getting 8 gallons for 2.00 during some mini gas wars), actually writing things down, using a shovel, home ec class where people learned to do all sorts of things like cooking food - all brings back memories.
Social "media" was actually talking to another human being face to face. Most of our early school tests were on a sheet of paper and you wrote down the answers and handed them in to the teacher. My oh my, how things have changed.

The copies from those had a very unique aroma. Almost like White-Out. I liked the smell, but they really didn't make a copy worth a lick. If you're copy was one of the last few made it was tough to read.

Not that time, but there were some stamps for different things. You could collect and trade them in.
