Except for the beach ball and the plastic flying disc, didn’t all these exist for some time before 1955?
Pretty sure it’s supposed to reflect popularity too? I’m not sure what the point of the 8-ball is otherwise.
That racquetball thing in the 1980s was kind of odd.
Imagine a form of exercise being popular, tho.
I guess it sort of does mark the decline of social life, though, requiring only one other player.
Not hard to imagine.
Jazzercise, Yoga, pickleball, etc.
what the fuck is jazzercise and why it sounds like some war crime shit?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazzercise
It became a pretty big fad in the 80s/90s.
It’s still a thing today.
it looks like some shit GTA makes fun of
It is, and it also was —even before GTA, it was a stupid thing that stupid people did to shoehorn some illusory semblance of having their shit together for the judging eyes they imagine all around them.
damn
That’s a bit harsh, it’s just a guided exercise class. Maybe it carried that snootiness originally but…my grandma did jazzercise at the senior center lol
An instructor plays music and calls out “dance” moves to the beat for everyone to follow. It’s like square dancing or…Dance Dance Revolution.
Doing it as a group to music makes it easier to keep your pace up and it’s kinda fun to exercise collectively. Same as step aerobics or running groups
It’s like Tae Bo but with jazz music.
and they wonder why people hate united states
We have one great contribution to global culture, we’re gonna milk it and shove it where it really doesn’t belong
happens to the best of us… and worst… and mid…
Reminds me of that Bowling Alone book that establishes the decline of social capital and then goes to great length not to analyze that term further.
Ya gotta love it when a “moderate” author attempts to fortify their own brand of idiocy with 1%er milk, all the while telling everyone to ignore the trademark turd reich mustache.
They have a few pickleball courts around me. Even pickleball leagues and meet ups. I only know because I was confused about what pickleball was. Apparently it’s tennis for people that don’t wanna run.
you’re probably right
Uh…
What!?Jim, you’re the temu of Jack & Coke, and now you think you can slide into other coke’s turf? Oof. You really are just caramel coloring and a heap of stupid in a bottle, eh?
jack and coke is some “cheerfulness and lighthearted excitement” shit - you either drink coke or you drink whiskey. MAKE A CHOICE!
You might enjoy knowing that the Spaniards make wine & coke, instead. 🤣
Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
Or, as they say in Norn Iron:
