75 Nostalgic Photos That Might Make You Say, “Heck, I’m Old!” (New Pics)

5 days ago 15
There’s nothing like a big glass of Yoo-hoo, Saturday morning cartoons and a red Game Boy Advance SP to instantly transport me back to childhood. Life was so simple back then. And as I yearned for the freedom that came with adulthood, I was completely ignorant of just how great I had it.

If you also find yourself wishing you could go back to the “good old days,” pandas, you’re not alone. And we’ve got a list down below that might have you feeling an overwhelming rush of nostalgia. We took a trip to the [Heck], I’m Old subreddit and gathered some of their most iconic photos below. So enjoy scrolling through these pics that might instantly trigger a thousand memories, and be sure to upvote the ones that make you miss the past!

To find out even more about the [Heck], I’m Old subreddit and what they've been up to since we last featured the group on Bored Panda, we got in touch with one of the community's moderators.

"Not much has changed since then. I would say the only thing of note is the posting frequency has increased," the moderator shared. "This could just be a seasonal change. But I am also aware that AI bots are a problem all across Reddit. As AI has gotten better, they have gotten harder and harder to differentiate. We have tools to mitigate them as best we can."

#6 Ohhh How I Tried To Get Them To Fall Down

The moderator also noted that the community is a great one to be a part of.

"One of the biggest things I can say about our members, is they largely stay civil," they noted. "Comment chains that devolve into a toxic back and forth very rarely happen here. Despite some posts getting 500+ comments. Many of the comments are just people pitching their own perspective on something nostalgic. With all the tools we have in place, moderating this subreddit is quite easy."

#9 My Spotify When I Was A Kid

Next, we asked the moderator if there's anything particular about their own past that they're incredibly nostalgic about.

"The biggest thing I miss from childhood would probably be riding my bike all over town with friends during the summer. The sense of wonder, and exploring areas we've never been, or areas we weren't supposed to be," they shared.

#12 Anyone Else Roll Around Your Hood In One Of These?

The moderator also says that they love many of the posts that they see shared in this community. "But we often see these things through rose colored glasses, and forget all the bad things that happened back then too," they pointed out. "The past seems like it was so much better, because most people forget all the bad things. I think it's a matter of self-preservation. If we remembered all the bad, I think we would all spiral into a deep depression."

#15 Who Remembers This?

Finally, they noted that this subreddit isn't one that changes a lot, but perhaps, that's the beauty of it. "I see this subreddit as a safe space. A temporary reprieve from the world as it is now," the mod shared. "Just don't get stuck in the past, and make sure to take off the rose colored glasses before returning to reality."
