I personally love reminiscing about what one would call ~simpler times~ — especially when I see things that remind me of my childhood. When I saw this Reddit thread that asked, “What pops into your mind when you hear ‘2000s’?” I clicked on it so fast to read the hundreds of responses. I agreed with them all. Here is what some people had to say:
1.“Motorola flip phones.”
