Things That Have Quietly Disappeared

Things That Have Disappeared

There’s a new list going around about things that have gradually disappeared over the past decade without most people even noticing:

1️⃣ The legendary $800 beater car that could actually get you from point A to point B.

2️⃣ Affordable streaming services.

3️⃣ Small, independent hardware stores. The kind where the guy behind the counter actually knew stuff instead of just pointing you to Aisle 12.

4️⃣ Things built to last. Everything’s planned obsolescence now.

5️⃣ A real human answering the phone when you call a business. Feels like winning the lottery when it happens.

6️⃣ 24-hour businesses. The pandemic took ‘em out, and a lot of them just never came back.

7️⃣ Finding coins on the sidewalk.

8️⃣ Toys in cereal boxes. Technically, those started disappearing long before 2015, but man, what a loss.

9️⃣ People smoking cigarettes. Not mad about it, but it is weird how rare it is now.

🔟 A teacher chimed in with this one: “Critical thinking and self-reflection.”

1️⃣1️⃣ Writing physical checks.

1️⃣2️⃣ Actually owning things. Everything is a subscription now—music, movies, software, even your freaking car’s heated seats.

1️⃣3️⃣ Semicolons. (Although, fun fact: ChatGPT still loves them, so maybe there’s hope.)

1️⃣4️⃣ Glaciers. (That one hurts.)

1️⃣5️⃣ And finally—someone simply said, “My hair.”

What would you add to the list?
