Someone asked what's the 'most Gen X thing' ever and the responses were awesome

Every generation has collective experiences in its youth that help define it. Baby Boomers (1946 to 1964) had the Kennedy assassination, the Vietnam War, and the Moon landing. Millennials (1981 to 1996) lived through 9/11, the Great Recession, and the social media revolution. What about Gen X (1965 to 1980)? In their youth, they experienced the fall of the Soviet Union, the rise of pop culture in the ‘80s, and Kurt Cobain’s suicide.Gen Xers were also born in an in-between era after women entered the workforce and before the advent of helicopter parenting. They fell through the cracks and were often left on their own. That’s a big reason why they have a reputation for being resourceful and independent. They are also known to be a bit cynical and sarcastic, a trait that comes from the economic and social tumult they experienced as children.The generation also occupies an interesting point in history where many Gen Xers had analog childhoods and digital adulthoods. This gives them an interesting perspective on the role that technology should have in our lives and a nostalgia for long summer days riding bikes without a phone in sight and staying outside until the street lights came on.But what were some other Gen X experiences that other generations may not understand? A Reddit user asked the Gen X forum, “What’s THE most Gen X thing?” and over 5,000 people responded with memories of their childhoods that helped to define them. 15 of the ‘most Gen X’ things people have ever experienced1. Whatever"Whatever.""I’m 46 and will take my jaded apathy to the grave, thank you very much. Now everybody leave alone cause everything sucks."2. Taping songs off the radio"I'm just on that border between Gen X and the oldest Millennials, but my sister is 8 years older than me. We would call the local rock station to request a song, then sit there with a tape at the ready to hit record as soon as they played our song. Repeat that about 10x and you've got a nice mixtape.""I spent months making a tape that had 'I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston on repeat (both sides) and gave it to my stepsister as a gift. She listened to the whole thing, hoping for a different song. Cause she hated that one."3. Arcades"Video arcade. Before Gen-X, graphics weren’t good enough, and after Gen X, you’d play the games on your own home console. No other generation claimed them like we did.""I remember being indignant when the first 50-cent games came out. What, you think I'm MADE OF MONEY?"4. Being forgotten"Never getting mentioned in the news. It always goes from Gen Z to millennials to boomers.""My sister watched a video that was supposed to be about every generation from the greatest generation through Gen Z, and they left out Gen X. Just skipped right over that time period."This is in reference to a news story that CBS News ran in 2019 about Millennials being the "burnout generation," where they put up a graphic of every generation from Silent to post-Millennials, now known as Gen Z, but they forgot to include Gen X. It was a perfect example of how Gen Xers have been ignored for years. GenX being left off the definitive generation chart is the most GenX thing that ever happened to GenX. byu/SojourningTruth inGenX5. Music videos"Watching MTV Headbangers Ball Saturday morning, ready to record on the VHS when my favourite bands came on.""Yes, 120 Minutes- but also, Yo! MTV Raps."6. Swatch watches"With the rubber guard on the face.""Swatch Guard, to keep you from telling time on the face with no numbers, of course. Yes, I had both at 14 in 1985."7. CD cases"Massive CD collections neatly stored in binders for easy access.""Claiming shotgun in the car so you had access to the binder and could play DJ for the night."8. Last generation to live without the internet"Being old enough to remember (and appreciate) life before the Internet and cellphones but being young enough to transition into that world without a hitch.""Old enough to remember life before the ubiquity of the internet (and computers to a lesser extent), yet young enough to still be able to understand newer tech like modern smartphones and computers."9. The Young OnesThe Young Ones was a British comedy TV show that ran from 1982 to 1984, about four very different university students who each represented a different clique. There was Vyvyan the punk rocker, Neil the hippie, Mike the "cool guy," and Rick, the Mod-socialist. The show mixed gross-out comedy, surrealism, and political satire, and was a cultural phenomenon in England that became a cult classic in 1985 when it debuted on MTV. 10. Being unreachable"Being the last unreachable generation. There were hours where no one knew where we were and our parents had zero way to contact us.""Be home before the street lights are on."11. Garbage Pail Kids"I bought a pack once, and my mom thought they were Cabbage Patch Kid cards. When she saw them, she made me return them to the store!"12. Blockbuster on a Friday night"Hanging by the door to see if any good movies were just returned.""Checking your answering machine messages to see if the video store called to say the movie you wanted was in."13. Trapper Keepers"I loved my Trapper Keeper. Everything fit in there, didn't need a bookbag."14. Hypercolor shirts"I sell the sh*t out of hypercolor shirts in my vintage store. I’m the only one who actually knows to look for them. The younger set is completely amazed by vintage hyper color."15. Payphone scams"Using a payphone to make a collect call with the intent of the call being declined. It's a messaging system that notifies your ride that you're ready to be picked up from the movies, where you watched Back to the Future. Or from the arcade where you just blew a roll of quarters on Super Mario Bros.""Calling your out-of-town friend collect from a payphone to another payphone to avoid long-distance charges. Successfully did this with an overseas boyfriend, too.""We used to call the payphone on the corner by 7-11 just to see who would answer."This article originally appeared last year.

The 90-second emotional reset that's changing lives and is backed by Harvard science

The 90-second emotional reset that's changing lives and is backed by Harvard science

We've all been there: it's 90 degrees outside, absolutely sweltering, and you're walking home from a new smoothie shop less than a mile away from your apartment, and everything is melting. The smoothie in your right hand. The açaí bowl in your left. Your old, broken headphones slowly slip off your head as a song you've never heard before blares through the speakers. Your willpower is diminishing by the second, and no one is around to help you.Okay, that might be a bit specific (and precisely what happened to me about an hour ago). Still, you've likely had a similar experience: an encounter that left you annoyed, frustrated, or feeling hopeless.But what if I told you that, according to Mo Gawat—a former Google executive who has spent the last 20 years researching the mechanics of happiness—you only need to endure that emotional roller coaster for precisely 90 seconds? - YouTube www.youtube.com It's time to meet the man who is revolutionizing our understanding of our emotions—and giving us all a science-backed way to hit the reset button on our worst days.The unlikely happiness guru who changed everythingMo Gawat isn't your typical wellness guru peddling crystals and manifestation journals. This is a guy who spent decades crunching numbers at Google X, the company's "Moonshot Factory," where he pursued ambitious, high-risk but potentially world-changing projects that tackled large-scale global problems like climate change, healthcare, and communications. But his most profound discovery about human happiness stemmed from his darkest hour.When Gawdat's 21-year-old son Ali died from preventable medical negligence during what should have been a routine surgery in 2014, he faced a darkness that would define the rest of his career. A clear choice emerged: he could either let this grief consume him, or honor his son by dedicating his analytical mind to a path Ali had always encouraged him to pursue—spreading happiness to as many people as possible. Solve for Happy by Mo GawdatCredit: Amazon Seventeen days after losing his son, Gawdat sat down and began writing Solve for Happy: Engineer Your Path to Joy. Through this book, he uncovered a revolutionary truth: our emotions aren't permanent. They have expiration dates.The fascinating brain science behind your emotional meltdownsHere's where things get fascinating. When developing what would later be known as the "90-second rule," Gawdat stumbled upon the findings of Harvard-trained neuroscientist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor. Similarly, her research was also formed in the pressure cooker of an unexpected, dramatic life experience: the moment when she underwent a massive stroke.As Dr. Taylor's left brain hemisphere shut down, she gained unprecedented real-time insight into how emotions function in the body. What she discovered is that when something triggers you—be it a spilled smoothie or a coworker's passive-aggressive "per my last email" message—your amygdala (think of it as your brain's overly cautious security guard) floods your system with stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. Your heart starts to race as if you've just spotted a bear and begun to run, your muscles tense up, and that instinctual fight-or-flight response surges through your body. The brain's amydala. Photo credit: CanvaHowever, this chemical cascade has a built-in timer. As Dr. Taylor discovered, it takes approximately 90 seconds for these stress hormones to be flushed from your bloodstream. Meaning that, after that initial surge, the physical component of your emotional reaction is over.But why doesn't it feel like that? Why do we marinate in our emotions—anger, sadness, confusion, delusion—for hours, days, or more? That's because, after those 90 seconds, we make a choice, usually without realizing it, to keep those emotions going by mentally rewinding and replaying the triggering event.Why do we keep choosing emotional suffering (without knowing it)?"What happens is, you run the thought in your head again, and you renew your 90 seconds," Gawdat explains. It's like poking a bruise that's formed on your knee, or hitting refresh on your personal stress response button. Every time you mentally revisit a stressful event—analyzing what you should have said, reimagining confrontations, and crafting the perfect comeback—you're essentially retriggering that same potent chemical reaction that occurred in the first place. Woman feeling hopeless. Photo credit: Canva So, while that 90-second episode of emotions ends quickly, we end up ruminating about what happened: over and over and over and over again.This is more than a mere annoyance—it's rewiring our brains in a bad way. Research shows that rumination doesn't just prolong our bad moods, it intensifies them and can lead to anxiety and depression. We're thinking ourselves into extended mental states simply by focusing too much on the past.The three-question framework that can change everythingWhat happens when you've successfully coasted through those initial 90 seconds but still feel like the world is out to get you? Gawdat developed a handy three-question reality check that serves as an emotional fact-checker for your brain:Question 1: Is it true?Gawdat claims that "90% of the things that make us unhappy are not even true." Think about it: your partner seems distracted during dinner, and suddenly your brain spins an entire narrative about how they've fallen out of love with you. But how much of that is real? And what percentage of your little daydream can be chalked up to your brain being its usual dramatic self?via GIPHYAt best, our brains are excellent storytellers. The problem is that they're prone to writing fiction and presenting it as truth.So, the next time you find yourself spinning up a stressful "what if?" situation in your head, take a beat, and ask yourself a different question: "Is it true?"Question 2: Can I take action?If the answer to question one is "Yes, it is true," then move on to Gawdat's second question. Are there steps you can take?If you have a real problem on your hands, then perfect! Channel that energy into solving it rather than drowning in it.Question 3: Can I accept it and still create a better life despite it?Here's where things get tricky. If you can't do anything about the situation, the final question before you becomes about "committed acceptance." No, not passive resignation, but actively choosing to move forward and build something better despite the circumstances.This can be difficult—remember, this process began with Gawdat searching for a way to make sense of his son's death—but these questions aren't about forcing toxic positivity or pretending like problems don't exist. They help your brain make sense of what's happened, distinguishing between productive and unproductive emotional energy.Your brain: the overprotective parentTo understand how this works, it helps to think of your brain as an overprotective, hovering parent who sees danger everywhere. "Your brain isn't your source of truth," Gawdat explains. "It's just a survival machine. A search party. It throws thoughts at you, hoping something will protect you. But that doesn't mean any of them are true". - YouTube www.youtube.com Your mammalian brain evolved to keep you alive, not happy. When modern life presents you with stressful situations—traffic jams, work pressures, particularly hot and evil temperatures—your ancient survival systems register these "threats" with the same emotional urgency as a saber-toothed tiger attack.Putting the 90-second rule into practiceSo, what does this really look like in real life knowing the science is only half the battle?Step 1: Notice the surge. When you feel that familiar rush of anger, frustration, or anxiety, create a mental note. "Okay, this is a chemically induced wave of emotion," you might say to yourself without judgment.Step 2: Set a timer, literally. For the first 90 seconds, your job is to observe. Feel every emotion to its fullest: your heart racing, your muscles tensing, your breath shortening. Acknowledge these physical sensations without trying to fix or stop them.via GIPHYStep 3: Breathe and wait. Deep breathing can help calm your nervous system after an onslaught of chemical reactions and prevent your brain from fueling the emotional fire mentally.Step 4: Choose your response. When those 90 seconds pass, you have what Gawdat calls a "buffer," a moment of clarity when you can decide what to do next.Step 5: Apply the three questions. If you're still upset after the initial wave, run through Gawdat's reality-check framework.The 90-second rule offers a unique perspective on relating to your vitally essential emotions. Emotions provide information about the environment and motivate us to take action. The 90-second rule helps us experience our emotions fully without letting them hijack our entire day—or life.The happiness equation connectionThis framework connects to Gawdat's broader "happiness equation," which posits that happiness equals life events minus expectations. Much of our suffering comes not from what happens to us, but from the gap between the triggering event and what we think should happen.As Gawdat puts it, "Life doesn't give a damn about you. It's your choice how you react to every one of [life's challenges]". Which may sound harsh, but when put into practice, can prove quite liberating.The next time you feel yourself crashing out, remember: you have 90 seconds to feel as irrational as humanly possible. After that? You get to decide how to spend the rest of your day.This article originally appeared last year

Why more Millennials are going 'chronically offline' and turning back to analog experiences

Why more Millennials are going 'chronically offline' and turning back to analog experiences

Millennials have a unique experience of growing up with an analog childhood and digital adolescence. Most Millennials have vivid recollections of Saturday morning cartoons and portable CD players. It was a time when people bought something once and owned it until it broke or became obsolete.While the generation is known for its ease with technology and constant change, many are now ditching it. Instead of being chronically online, Millennials are choosing to go "chronically offline," trading the digital world for tangible experiences. One of the group's biggest complaints about technology is how expensive everything has become. Almost everything now requires a monthly subscription, with even basic photo and video storage costing extra.For some Millennials, simply existing has become a subscription-based experience, and they've had enough. But excessive subscriptions for streaming services and digital storage aren't the only issue. When you purchase an album, movie, episode, or series in the digital world, you don't actually own it. The price of a digital movie isn't any lower than a physical DVD, but you can't take that digital copy with you if you cancel the streaming service or if the service loses the rights to the movie. The same isn't true when you purchase a DVD. Retro vibes: Enjoying tunes on a vintage cassette player.Photo credit: CanvaThese factors are enough to make some people question why they're holding on to the digital world so tightly. One Millennial declared 2026 the year the generation is turning back the clock. Bee, who goes by Feral House Wifey on TikTok, says in a video that subscriptions are out of control and that too many options overwhelm people, before adding that she was going back to DVDs."We're going back to having conversations in person in coffee shops, okay," she says. "We are going back to letting kids be wild in our yards, in our neighborhoods, running free, being outside, getting off video games. We're bringing potlucks back. In-person dinners and potlucks with friends. We're bringing back handwritten letters, sending cards, just thinking of you type of sh-t like our grandmothers and our mothers did. We are bringing this sh-t back because this sh-t can't die. It can't. We cannot let the digital age steal what it means to be human. We cannot let convenience take away our desire to connect." @feralhousewifey #analog2026 #analog #millenialsoftiktok #millenial #nostalgiacore ♬ original sound - Bee | embodied womanhood Millennials aren't the only ones trying to return to the analog world; Gen Z and older Gen Alpha are also nostalgic for a time they never experienced. In the comments under Bee's video, one mom shared that her daughter asked for a '90s mall experience for her birthday—and was thrilled with the results: "My daughter, for her 13th birthday, wanted a 'real 90s mall Christmas experience.' We drove an hour to the closest non-dead mall that was actually BUSTLING with people and decor and shopping. She had an absolute blast - couldn't thank us enough. And now my teen son wants to do that for his birthday. ? So here for this!" Cozy reading nook on a chilly day.Photo credit: Canva"So at some point, digital life all stopped being fun," YouTuber Boss From Home shares. "We somehow feel pressure to post just to remain relevant in today's society, and engaging with other human beings has now become some sort of dreadful obligation. Even scrolling started feeling like work, and that's because in a lot of ways, it is work. You're producing data, you're feeding the algorithms, and you're comparing your life to highlight reels while being told to stay motivated for your own work. So when people say, 'well, I'm going analog,' what they're really saying is, 'well, I'm done performing my life online just for people to see.'"No matter the reason people are logging off, the common thread is that the digital world has become too expensive financially, emotionally, and socially. Instead of spending hours online, people are borrowing books from the library, spending physical time with family and friends, and listening to music on analog devices. The art of writing letters is also making a resurgence as people ditch ever-expanding technology for human connection. Millennials are taking control of the digital world by leaving it, and they aren't alone.

Classic 'Pick More Daisies' poem is inspiring a new wave of advice to people's younger selves

Classic 'Pick More Daisies' poem is inspiring a new wave of advice to people's younger selves

A beautiful poem has been circulating for decades. It has appeared in magazines, been quoted in emails, and, in recent years, found new life in memes and Instagram Reels. The gist of the piece, often referred to as the "Pick More Daisies" poem, is a letter to a former self offering nuggets of wisdom about embracing life before it's too late.The poem is often attributed to a woman named Nadine Stair, who was said to be 85 years old at the time of publication. It appeared under her name in the Association for Humanistic Psychology newsletter in July 1975. The only issue is that some claim no such woman ever existed. Digging deeper, many also claim it was originally written by Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges, while others cite Robert Hastings, and still others list the author simply as "anonymous female." See on Instagram In his essay "Who Would Pick More Daisies?" Benjamin Rosen explores plagiarism and the internet's ability to fool readers.The original template for the piece, which varies depending on the attributed writer, appears to trace back to Don Herold. It appeared in College Humor magazine in 1935. Regardless of which version circulates online today, the poem's central idea remains unchanged and continues to resonate with readers.Herold's original piece was this:"If I had my life to live over, I would try to make more mistakes next time. I would relax. I would limber up. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I know of very few things I would take seriously. I would be crazier. I would be less hygienic. I would take more chances. I would take more trips. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would burn up more gasoline. I would eat more ice cream and less bran. I would have more actual troubles and fewer imaginary ones."After the piece caught fire, Herold wrote a longer version, which was published in 1953:"Of course, you can't unfry an egg, but there is no law against thinking about it.If I had my life to live over, I would try to make more mistakes. I would relax. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I know of very few things that I would take seriously. I would be less hygienic. I would go more places. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less bran. Three people hold ice cream in their hands. Photo by Mark Cruz on Unsplash I would have more actual troubles and fewer imaginary troubles. You see, I have been one of those fellows who live prudently and sanely, hour after hour, day after day. Oh, I have had my moments. But if I had it to do over again, I would have more of them—a lot more. I never go anywhere without a thermometer, a gargle, a raincoat, and a parachute. If I had it to do over, I would travel lighter.It may be too late to unteach an old dog old tricks, but perhaps a word from the unwise may be of benefit to a coming generation. It may help them to fall into some of the pitfalls I have avoided.If I had my life to live over, I would pay less attention to people who teach tension. In a world of specialization, we naturally have a superabundance of individuals who cry at us to be serious about their individual specialty. They tell us we must learn Latin or History; otherwise, we will be disgraced and ruined and flunked and failed. After a dozen or so of these protagonists have worked on a young mind, they are apt to leave it in hard knots for life. I wish they had sold me Latin and History as a lark.I would seek out more teachers who inspire relaxation and fun. I had a few of them, fortunately, and I figure it was they who kept me from going entirely to the dogs. From them I learned how to gather what few scraggly daisies I have gathered along life's cindery pathway.If I had my life to live over, I would start barefooted a little earlier in the spring and stay that way a little later in the fall. I would play hooky more. I would shoot more paper wads at my teachers. I would have more dogs. I would keep later hours. I'd have more sweethearts. I would fish more. I would go to more circuses. I would go to more dances. I would ride on more merry-go-rounds. I would be carefree as long as I could, or at least until I got some care—instead of having my cares in advance. A woman runs and jumps barefoot in a sunny field. Photo by Eddie Kopp on Unsplash More errors are made solemnly than in fun. The rubs of family life come in moments of intense seriousness rather than in moments of light-heartedness. If nations—to magnify my point—declared international carnivals instead of international war, how much better that would be!G.K. Chesterton once said, 'A characteristic of the great saints is their power of levity. Angels can fly because they can take themselves lightly. One 'settles down' into a sort of selfish seriousness; but one has to rise to a gay self-forgetfulness. A man falls into a 'brown study'; he reaches up at a blue sky.'In a world in which practically everybody else seems to be consecrated to the gravity of the situation, I would rise to glorify the levity of the situation. For I agree with Will Durant that 'gaiety is wiser than wisdom.'I doubt, however, that I'll do much damage with my creed. The opposition is too strong. There are too many serious people trying to get everybody else to be too darned serious."A recent viral post featured this version, which clearly borrows some of the same prose: See on Instagram "If I had my life to live over, I'd dare to make more mistakes next time. I'd relax, I would limber up. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less beans. I would perhaps have more actual troubles, but I'd have fewer imaginary ones.You see, I'm one of those people who lived sensibly and sanely, hour after hour, day after day. Oh, I've had my moments, and if I had to do it over again, I'd have more of them. In fact, I'd try to have nothing else. Just moments, one after another, instead of living so many years ahead of each day. I've been one of those persons who never goes anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat, and a parachute. If I had to do it again, I would travel lighter than I have.If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dances. I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I would pick more daisies.(Nadine Stair, 85 years old, Association for Humanistic Psychology Newsletter, July 1975)"This has inspired many to share bits of wisdom with their younger selves. One Instagrammer writes, "A letter to my younger self. Enjoy life along with working hard. Don't trust people easily. Notice red flags in men and leave them the next moment. Be more grateful of whatever blessings you got. You will be just fine."Another commenter adds, in part, "For what it's worth—it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whomever you want to be. There's no time limit. Start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same."Another person notes that this wasn't, in fact, a letter written to her former self. Instead, it was a warning shot. "It was not a letter she wrote for herself. It's a message to the younger generation." They add their own interpretation, saying, "Go out more often. Enjoy the nature. Make mistakes. Learn from them."Yet another person offers a different take, suggesting that choosing not to be quite as adventurous may have led to a longer life. In other words, do whatever you'd like: "Better thank yourself cos that boring life got you to 85!!"One commenter puts it succinctly: "Embarrassment is an unexplored emotion, go out there and make a fool of yourself." Getting a tattoo by a dog. Giphy And here's one more piece of advice to chew on: It's never too late to get a tattoo. "Always take the chances! Do the different things! And we LIVE every day! It is never too late! She needs to go do those things now❤ As a tattoo artist, I've given 90-year-olds their first tattoo. As a mother of 2 and 44, I'm a certified wing-walker (that's me upside down on the wings of an airplane in my profile) ☺️ LIVE your life to the fullest!"

Peek or gawk? Perfect 'Seinfeld' parody examines modern gym 'gawking' etiquette.

For years, people have tried to envision what Seinfeld, one of the most acclaimed sitcoms in TV history, might look like in modern times. It's an interesting thought exercise, given how much life has changed since the show's 1998 finale, from technology to social norms to politics. Comedian Alex Sandoval has an entire web series built around this concept, going viral with hilariously accurate impressions of both Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld) and George (Jason Alexander). The episode in question focuses on gym etiquette, with George getting called out for "gawking." While he attempts to vent, Jerry and Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus, channeled here by Maria Frankis) launch into a very Seinfeldian debate. "Everyone knows it's the 1-2-second appreciation peek," Jerry argues, to the sound of a faint laugh track. Borrowing a signature barge-in move from Kramer (Michael Richards, also played here by Sandoval), the character crashes the scene, telling George that a video of his gym encounter has gone viral on social media. See on Instagram The clip definitely feels like Seinfeld circa 2026, drawing on the minutiae of everyday life through the lens of TikTok and internet virality. But it's cemented by Sandoval's next-level impressions, which nail Jerry's sing-songy quality and the harsher, more aggressive tone of George at his most brash and frustrated. (For points of reference, think "George is getting upset!" or "These pretzels are making me thirsty!") And as someone in the Instagram comments noted, Sandoval even did great work channeling everyone's mannerisms. "Via facial expressions, you managed to look like three very different characters," someone wrote. "Impressive."It's gold, Jerry!Plenty of others were equally impressed, with some even dropping references to Seinfeld episodes. Here are some of the top responses: "Your accents are incredibly spot on, and the script totally works""Why did you cut the episode off I was watching that""Wow this is 150% SPOT ON. Make a whole season, please. ?""This is absolutely spectacular…""This is gold""'You do have a face that gawks' ? perfection" - YouTube www.youtube.com "The Jerry voice is killing me""I would watch ten seasons of this!""The Seinfeld voice is spot on""This was actually incredible. I hope Jerry sees this and gets a good laugh out of it""Hahahaha this was absolutely flawless ??""Bro could've wrote on the actual show ?""Kramer's entrance not Kramer-y enough but other than [that] gold"Everybody loves a good Seinfeld parodySandoval isn't the first comic to put a modern spin on the Seinfeld universe. In one well-known example, writers Jack Moore and Josh Gondelman reached Twitter fame with an absurdist account called "Modern Seinfeld," pitching episode loglines, crucial bits of dialogue, and other ideas ("Jerry refuses to go to a Cash Only diner. J: 'They've seen the credit card! They know the credit card! It's time to accept the credit card!'"). In 2024, Joey Mulinaro went viral on TikTok with a "Stanley Cup" sketch that nails all the eccentricities and rhythms that propelled the original show. - YouTube www.youtube.com
