I heard the high pitched sound from two posts up and knew the next half hour was going to be awesome.
Nobody ever believed me when I said I could hear a powered-on CRT from two rooms away
The whine on larger the TV's were so damn loud. My neighbor's had one of those massive beasts of a CRT. I could hear it 100 feet away.
My first migraines where triggered in the computer lab from 40 CRT monitors being on. It was so loud and annoying.
I've been telling people for a while that I can hear it too. Nice to know I'm not the only one.
a friend of mine got a CASIO watch with an integrated IR emitter and would always cause havoc when the TV was out
Casio is so chaotic.
I was your friend
We still are!
Those remote control watches were actually banned at the schools I went to as a kid. Along with other calculator watches, couldn’t have one of those either. ‘Because you need to know math and won’t always have a calculator on you when you grow up’ 😂
I think they also eventually caught on with the technology and banned them in my school... And that quote with the calculator in your pocket sounds also familiar xD
I'm currently doing landscaping work around the house and I use the voice assistant all the time to calculate surfaces and volumes, it's so nice compared to pressing buttons or a touchscreen with dirty gloves. My younger self would be so excited!
Had a different version of that Casio. Loved it. Let my friend use it in 8th grade and got it confiscated until the end of the year. Was bummed. Haven't used it in years. Bet it still works on a good number of TVs
How is that legal?
Teachers can only confiscate childrens items until the end of the school day and in some cases until the parents come to school. Anytime longer would be theft.
“Hey, second-graders, it’s time to watch All Dogs Go To Heaven! Just in case your parents forgot to traumatize you.”
I got some of my trama from the TV cart! I watched 9/11 on that thing
Same. I’m so glad we somehow had cable on these things, because my class watched it happen live, right after wheeling this cart in to watch a history documentary. Lots of other teachers turned it off because tons of kids in my school had parents working in those buildings, but my teacher knew it was an important thing for us to see.
Also 9/11 on the tv cart and then teacher said, "that's going to be it for the day, call your parents"
Shit, dawg. Watched The Secret of Nihm.
My teacher in junior high threw on Jerry Maguire briefly because we all remember it as a cute romcom with fun catch phrases. We all forget it starts with Tom Cruise going to pound town.
Science rules!!!
Inertia is a property of matter
Bill Bill Bill Bill
We gonna watch the Salmon episode of Magic School Bus.
Teach these little shits a lesson!
When I was a kid, my teachers brought this out when it was time to watch Voyage of the Mimi.
Still have the theme song stuck in my head to this day. Good times. The 90s was a great decade, which was definitely only 10 years ago because the 80s was 20 years ago. No need to check my math on that.
If any young'ns read this, how do they do this nowadays in school?
shit my teachers streamed yt via projector over a decade ago
I haven't been in school since like 1998.
My teachers started doing this as soon as IT unblocked YouTube. I'm pretty sure they had something to do with it.
Most teachers have a projector or television mounted in their rooms that are connected to either their computer or iPad.
Flat screen tv
French class was Lanananananana fuck that stupid pineapple
the humanoid puppet pilot was way worse tho
How dare you
Anana is a national treasure
For me, this cart always had MathNet.
OMG I loved that show! I haven't thought about that in 25 years at least!
oh god, not another class watching contact
I swear I watched that movie 9 times one year.
why build one when you can have two for just twice the price?
Always in the last week before Summer break. Bob L'Éponge in French class, Mr Bean in English class, Staplerfahrer Klaus occasionally (don't google that one if gore isn't your thing) and throughout the year, of course, documentaries.
I didn't realize just how often we've used these.
Mr Bean for English class is so fucking funny. "Surely the show with next to no dialogue will teach them English"
My English teacher's excuse was always that learning about culture was important, too. And now I know that three-wheeled cars are very dangerous to drive in the vicinity of Mini Coopers!
It's not teaching them English.
It's teaching them about the English.
Hahahaha, thanks for reminding me of Staplerfahrer Klaus <3
He was cool, but I still proffered Mr.Wizard.
*bonus: my man, putting kids in their place: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iD4TUhwAhw
Beakman's World!
I remember being annoyed by an episode of Mr.Wizard where he showed chemical reaction, but wouldn't explain it. Like, why even bother doing that on a science show?
Beakman’s episode on teeth lives on my mind rent free.
Yes?
I remember when I was 8ish the daycare I went to wheeled out the TV to put in some cartoon so the workers go fuck off and smoke crack or whatever. The cartoon they picked was Water Ship Down. It was wild too because everytime they came Iback to check on us nothing fucked up was going on so we saw the whole movie. A girl said the movie was scary and that was the only feed back they got.
We didn't appreciate Bill Nye enough as kids.
You're gonna chant on the offbeats, right?
Taught me so much! I remember watching Gandhi 😊
OCTOPUS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
That VCR looks too modern for this to be accurate
Post for old people
Why is the image AI-generated? Legit, how difficult is it to find a picture of a TV cart?
