Stealing is wrong, but stealing from a kid is beyond despicable. As an adult, you should know better than to take advantage of a child, especially a relative. Sadly, when it comes to trends and popular things—like Pokémon—some grown-ups completely lose their minds and behave spoiled and entitled.

Even the bond between an aunt and her niece isn’t sacred. The internet weighed in after one mom shared how her daughter was driven to tears when her beloved aunt stole her rare shiny Pokémon behind her back. Scroll down for the full story and the internet’s opinions about the family drama.

Well-adjusted adults know not to steal from little kids. Unfortunately, common sense is not that common

Entitlement is something that parents need to push back against, otherwise, their entitled children grow into entitled adults

It’s important to remember that nobody is ever ‘perfect,’ and that we all make mistakes. We all have moments of weakness when we want something so badly that it overrides logic, common sense, and the importance of our relationships.

That being said, adults should know better than to ignore other people’s boundaries, especially those of little kids. Going around stealing other people’s Pokémon behind their backs just isn’t right. This is the type of behavior that is reminiscent of scalpers who quickly and massively buy up Pokémon-related content to then sell it on for a price spike. Sure, the method is different, but the lack of ethics is similar.

If you’re not careful, your kids can develop a sense of entitlement that then goes on to haunt them into young adulthood, too.

Psychologist Jeffrey Bernstein, Ph.D., states that when you set boundaries with your children, it is vital that you don’t give in when they push back, despite the friction. What you have to do, as a parent, is teach them to take responsibility for their actions. Furthermore, you have to help them understand that mutual respect is incredibly important.

“Managing an entitled adult child can be a challenging and emotionally exhausting experience for parents. Whether it’s endless requests for financial support, special treatment, or refusing to take responsibility for their actions, these situations can quickly spiral into resentment and strain the entire family dynamic,” Bernstein writes, adding that parents ought to promote clear boundaries, mutual trust, and accountability.

“Often, entitlement grows from a lack of limitations, where the parent repeatedly gives in to demands or excuses for bad behavior. By clearly defining what is acceptable and what isn’t, you’re protecting your well-being and teaching your child an invaluable lesson in respect,” he says.

Not lying and not stealing are lessons that many kids learn very early on

Like with most things in life, consistency is key here, too. You have to be consistent when setting boundaries, too. Furthermore, as much as you, as a parent, might want to support your child, you have to make sure that you’re not enabling their entitled behavior. Simply put, they have to be allowed to experience the consequences of their actions so that they grow and mature.

Lying and stealing are things that kids usually understand are wrong very early on. Johns Hopkins Medicine explains that children under 3 don’t lie on purpose, as they don’t understand what they’re saying and are experimenting with language. Kids under 7 may have trouble separating the real world from fantasy. And yet, by age 6 or 7, kids understand what lying is and they might cheat if they’re able to. Children ages 6 to 12 understand what lying is and why it’s wrong, but they might continue to test the rules and limits set by adults.

Meanwhile, when it comes to stealing, children aged 3 and under don’t fully understand the difference between what does and doesn’t belong to them. They might “become possessive of their things and protect them. They don’t steal with bad intentions.”

Kids between 3 and 7 start respecting things that don’t belong to them. However, this age group can trade things without regard to value if they want something else. By age 9, children should respect other people’s belongings and understand that stealing is wrong.

However, kids this age might continue to steal if they feel peer pressure, have low self-esteem, are trying to buy their friends’ attention, and want to feel proud of accomplishing something.

What’s your take, Pandas? How would you have reacted if you were in the mom’s shoes? Has anyone you know ever been tricked or tried tricking someone else when it comes to Pokémon-related stuff like games, cards, etc.? How would you go about restoring trust between family members after someone has trampled over another person’s boundaries so brazenly? Let us know in the comments.

Later, the author answered people’s questions and shared more context

The internet had a lot to say about the Pokémon drama. Most people were supportive of the way the mom reacted

And yet, some netizens offered a different perspective

Too much worldview friction will end any relationship but it’s particularly bad if the person you are dating has a very different view of what your common, future life will look like. The question of “who will serve and who will eat” is more than just a Leonard Cohen lyric.

A woman turned to the internet for advice after learning that her friend’s BF felt that she needed to be, in her words, a 60s housewife, cooking and cleaning for him despite being employed. So folks online shared their thoughts and suggestions and later the woman shared a small update from her friend.

College is one of those big life milestones that can really change how you see the world. For many folks, it’s their first taste of having a lot more freedom and responsibility, all while meeting new people and figuring things out as they go. And no matter how prepared you think you are, student life can still come with plenty of surprises.

One Redditor recently asked users to share their “welcome to college” moments, and they came through with plenty of memorable stories. From hilarious to downright wild, we’ve rounded up some of the best ones below. Scroll down to read them bored and upvote your favorites.

Mine happened very quickly. It was the third day of orientation, and I got up early that morning. I decided, since I was up, I might as well go do something, and I left my dorm and wandered over to the nearby shopping street. I went to a Starbucks there and bought a cup of coffee. Then, I walked back to my dorm and sat down in one of the easy chairs in the common room, just sipping my coffee and waiting for everybody to get up. I don't know why, but this all struck me as really awesome. I guess, until then, I'd been used to having my life controlled by other things, my parents, school, etc. In a weird way, this was the first action I'd ever made completely on my own, and it was amazing. Still one of the happiest moments I can remember.

It was a Saturday night, and I'd just been in my room for the most part, but around 2AM, one of my friends called me up and we decided to go hang out in another building.

I go downstairs and I see a body covered with a blanket, on the floor of the lobby. Right in front of the security desk (security guards need to check our ID before letting us into the dorms). There was also some kind of liquid mush staining the carpet near him. I'm a little freaked out at this point, thinking that someone had [passed away] and they had just covered the body... Nope, turns out the kid had stumbled into the lobby after a night of heavy drinking, then fell over and threw up while trying to give the guard his ID card. This had literally happened in the last 5 minutes, so the guard just threw a blanket over the kid while waiting for help.

On my first day of school it had just turned to dusk. My friends (well really only hall mates at this point) were coming back from some freshman event. As we are walking along a man pops out of the bushes wrapped only in a yellow sheet. And yells, "my metamorphosis is complete! I am a beautiful butterfly!" He then threw the sheet on the ground reveling the fact that he was completely bare underneath and ran off into the night.

Probably the night we discovered that Pam + synthetic institutional carpet + duct tape = indoor slip n slide. Much awesome fun was had by all and a few socks were sacrificed in the process.

Even better was the campus policeman who told us to wait until he got off shift around 2AM. Turns out he's a tuba player in band and had a ton of valve oil. We had an exceptionally long corridor in the basement that was linoleum and much slipping and sliding occurred. We even had the foresight to put the WET signs down after we were done.

Also rolling down the hall to my dorm room because I was too drunk to stand up and walk. Ended up sleeping hunched over my lofted bed because I couldn't get in it.

My first semester at university, I was living on campus in a suite-style dorm. One of my suitemates decided she didn't like the university housing, and she wanted to move out into private residence. How did she get out of her housing contract with the university? She married a guy she'd known for two weeks. Apparently there was a loophole in the contract that made marriage a legitimate way to get out.

**TL;DR my suitemate married someone she'd known for two weeks for convenience. Hello crazy times.**

I was playing basketball for a D-1 school and I had come from a tiny high school. I was 6'4, and in HS that normally made me one of the 3 or 4 tallest guys on the court. Sometimes when we played small teams I was literally taller than the other teams center, even though I was a point.

Our first open run was in August. I was shorter than everyone on the team except two guys. The first time I took a ball to the basket it was like the sky closed up and slapped the ball right back into my face. I had a feeling my ceiling at that level might be limited at that point.

Time alone was scarce at night but once in a while the two other girls would go out and I would just hang out in the apartment with my SO...and by hang out I mean seize the opportunity to [be intimate] in peace. On one particular night my SO and I were in a bit of a rush because we didn't know how long my roommates would be gone and it slipped my mind to do the usual 'close the windows, lock the door' routine. Considerably loud and dirty [time] ensues, and just as I let out that last satisfied moan I hear my neighbors on both sides (I had one window on either side of my bedroom windows, both apartments occupied by 2-3 college guys) start to cheer and clap for me. For a solid minute I lay frozen like a deer in the headlights as they applauded my grand finale. My SO thought it was most hilarious thing that had ever happened, and I just wanted to go hide.

I guess it was when I just left mid-day to hop on a train and go an hour away to another city for a BBQ. I mean, I had done that sort of thing before in HS, but I didn't have to tell anyone I was leaving, I just...walked to the station and was gone for the day. Complete, 100% freedom.

Worst- freshman year, coming back late on a Sunday after visiting family, only to find all the dining halls closed. So I made bagel bites in my microwave alone (roommate went off to sleep with her SO) crying because I missed my mom and realized nobody would care for me the way she does.

Best- went to a house party that had a water slide, live music, mud pit, and alcohol abounding. Wrestled in the mud with my friends, and shot liquor into each other's mouths with mini squint guns. Epic dance battle commenced. Realized I would never be able to experience such reckless abandonment outside of college.

Mine wasnt some raging party or walking in on a roommates 3some or anything....it was more of a epiphany the second I was dropped off by the parents...

*Some critical background*: I came from a Military Boarding School....i went from extreme supervision to bliss (with a summer in between). My parents dropped me off at 11th and High st, right next to the Panera at the Ohio State University. We moved in already, just ate, and done all the admin type stuff you do on the first day....i was truly being released. I grew up in a relatively strict family. My parents lived in Chicago, so they were leaving for home right after this. I gave them the epic "last time being under your wing" hug. My mom cried with deep passion. Dad and I hugged, chatted, fist bumped and that was it.

Many, many times I have reflected on the feeling inside me as I sauntered the 1/8 to 1/4 mile to my dorm, by myself, for the first time. I MADE IT! THIS IS IT! THIS IS COLLEGE....*looking around* THESE ARE MY PEERS AND FUTURE FRIENDS...**THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOOMMMMEEEE!!!** It was a picturesque day, 70 to 75 degrees, no clouds, such vibrancy about and so much ahead of me. I've written a handful of songs and poems about it....I finally had the freedom I had been yearning and painstakingly sticking it out for....as i reflect on it now the smile on my face is as wide as can possibly stretch....so fond.

My mother INSISTED that we hit the road at 5:25am to "beat the traffic" nearing my campus. Ended up on campus at 7:45am, with move in to the dorms beginning at 9:00am. After carrying our first few loads of dorm supplies to the door until they unlocked it, I was approached by a lady resembling Veronica Corningstone. She approached me and asked if I was an incoming freshman, willing to interview. "Absolutely!" I say. It was aired all day on the local news, and people recognized me for the first week or so, especially the faculty and RAs living in my dorm. I was borderline famous, for a wee bit. Thanks Mom!

TL;DR Arrived prematurely... made the news!

In college, I lived in a dorm as a freshman, but moved off campus into an apartment the next year. One night, after getting completely obliterated and blacking out, I walked back to my old dorm room, (I assume) thinking that was where I still lived, climbed up onto the top bunk of a bunkbed, and went to sleep. I woke up the next morning, trying to figure out what happened and why I wasn't in my own bed, looked around and saw a guy sitting at his computer. "Where am I?" I asked. He just turned and looked at me with a big smile on his face and said, "College, man. College.".

I went from being able to cruise through exams/coursework to actually having to pay attention and work hard.

#20

All my chemistry 101 exam scores were between 60% and 80%. First time it happened I was shocked, second time time I knuckled down and really studied for the third exam, and the third exam I barely broke 80%. I was convinced I would have to retake it. I passed the class with a solid A. Feels good man.

#21

I went to a small liberal arts college, needless to say the place was infested with children of rich people. We like to call those pseudo-hippies "trustafarians". I'm standing in the smoking area my first week of college, listening to a chick talk about how chicken nuggets give you cancer. While she was smoking an American Spirit. Welcome to hypocrisy.

When I started college, we went to have a campingtrip as an introduction. Nobody of the 150 people knew each other, including me of course. The weather from the first day on was BAD. So bad that after the second day, only 5 of the 150 tents stood upright. But it was great. It was helping and be helped. We suddenly became a family because of our common enemy (the weather). We helped each other holding tents, finding lost stuff, and drinking. After two years all of us 150 are still like a big family.

#23

My parents were moving me into my dorm freshman year the week before classes start. The dorm was a co-ed freshman dorm, 8 floors high and located in a residential area of town that was mainly populated by students. The house facing the front of the dorm (directly across the street) had 5 guys living in it. As we are moving my stuff to my room, the 5 gentleman who lived across the street displayed a banner that they had fashioned from an old white bedsheet. They unfurled it and hung it from the roof of their front porch. It read: "Fathers thank you for your daughters." That's when I knew I was in college.

A colleague of my dad recalls his first day in a high tier university.

his first class was physics, so he sits down with the other students in the lecture hall, waits a few minutes while the professor writes some points on the board and the professor turns to the class. the professor starts talking. "Hello, class," he says dryly, "this is your first day of college. some of you might think you're special. you might be a valedictorian of your high school, or had honors awards, or got perfect sat scores. look around you. there are 100 kids in this hall just like you. you're not special. welcome to college." and then he started the lecture.

One phrase was my welcome to college moment.

"You might want to get yourself checked out."

I was setting up my dorm room and I realized I had no idea how to put my sheet on the twin bed. I kept trying and trying but it was simultaneously too short for the length of the bed and WAY too wide for the width.

Yeah, I was trying to put it on sideways, but I had to call home before I figured that out.

#27

The day I moved in was also the day that my mother had an emergency mastectomy for Stage IV triple negative breast cancer (2008). I was so scared, knew absolutely nobody, and my roommate was awful. My girlfriend was 100 miles away, and she was doubting the long-distance relationship would work.

Fast forward four years. I graduated, Mom is still fighting, and my girlfriend is now my fiancee, and we're getting married in May.

College went by so fast.

I go to college in a foreign country (American in Hong Kong). My plane landed around 9:30pm, and by 11pm I was moved in. I meet some of the older students and they tell me "get dressed, you've got 15 minutes."

Less than an hour later we're all doing shots in clubs and dancing on top of bars with people who's names I can't remember. The more time I spend here the more I hate the US' drinking age.

I'll start with my first college experience which turned into a "I'm gonna like it here" moment. At my school orientation consisted of you staying overnight in one of the on-campus dorms. It was oven-like in the rooms so I decided to go down to the lounge, meet some people, and not even sleep. I found some people, socialized, shared stories and all of that. By the middle of the night we were playing NeverHaveIEver. Me and the other guys were saying some weird stuff just for some laughs.... but all of the girls in the group did them.... If there was a picture of my face that night it would be similar to a child on christmas.

Thought I didn't need to study for anything, like high school. Got an A in high school biology when I was a sophomore.

Get to college, where all the professors have PhD's and teach all of the introductory classes too. Tells us to study really hard so we'll succeed.

I figured, "I'm smart enough."

68%! Hello college.

#31

On my first day of college, everyone yelled at me and then continued to yell for the entire year. #militarycollegeproblems.

#32

I was always sort of an odd kid; in addition to being a long haired male, my wardrobe was almost 100% Mickey Mouse shirts.

About 3 days after I'd moved in to my dorm in college, I was walking back from some finance office next to a road, and as usual was donning the Mickey Mouse shirt. Without warning, I felt something whack me in the forehead. I was stunned at first; I eventually reached up and touched my forehead, and realized that I had been egged.

I remember thinking it was weird that so many people were introducing themselves left and right. I don't have any crazy stories, except that the walls were really thin and my neighbour was very popular with the ladies - and that I also kept getting my food stolen from the communal fridge so I spiked it with laxatives.

When I got the score back on my first calc test... 32%.

#35

I was in my dorm room trying to study neuroscience while the girls in the room on one side of mine were blasting rap and the girls in the room on the other side were blasting country. Next quarter when I moved to a quiet hall, they followed me, found my room, and started pounding on my door in the middle of the night because I'd had the nerve to ask them to be quiet during quiet hours.

#36

I walked into my first class. I sat down.

It was silent. No one was talking. Someone in the corner was playing music, but I could only hear it because of the silence in the room. No cliques full of girls screaming at each other about last night's party, no packs of pretty boys calling each other bro.

No one CARED about each other.

I almost started sobbing with relief.

#37

On the first night we got called into one of the higher flats to play Kings cup. After every single person had whiteyed out the window (except me, actually, because I'm irish), one of the lads wondered if the scissors were sharp, cut his arm open and an ambulance was called while I held the muscle up.
He went to the club once his 15 stitches were sorted, pulled a girl from the building who punched him in the face, breaking his nose the following night.

He's pretty much the best story guy ever.

During orientation week I had my first drink, a beer, and then spoke for two hours about the meaning of life with a boy I found mildly attractive. Hooray for liberal arts colleges!

#39

I skipped my first ever class. That pretty much set the tone of the next 8 years.

#40

When I did the reading for my tutorial (all 16 pages of it) very drunk after a night out at 4am whilst eating a Peshwari naan, then getting up at 7.30am, eating the rest of the naan for breakfast and going to the tutorial at 9am. Funnily enough, I was the only person in my tutorial group of 8 who had done the reading, so had to brief everyone on the bus on the way there and effectively lead the discussion.

#41

When i [failed] my first midterm, realized all the girls weren't in fact pleasure seaking women of loose morals, and that you should in fact have a good idea of what you want to do or you wont graduate on time.

#42

Came to college with an anti-cigarette, anti-drinking mentality. First day, met my suite mate who was a dealer, my roommate who was an alcoholic, and all 5 of my suite mates had smoked cigarettes... Needless to say, every value had been desecrated.

#43

I'm 18. I can do a shot of Jim Beam for every year I am old!

I was wrong.

My hair is in a toilet.

Welcome to college.

#44

Moved into the "Party Dorm" on my campus the first day of frosh week. As I pull up there are guys on the front lawn doing beer funnels. I had never even been in the residence before, but I had heard stories. I walk into the building to find my room and meet my roommate. As I walk in the front door Im handed a cup of beer. I find my room, on the third floor, and my roommate was already passed out (3:30PM) on the floor, in nothing but his underwear. This was only 3 years ago.
TR/DR -- I love college.

#45

The first and only time I threw up from drinking too much.

#46

The day we decided to gave a backyard boxing match, complete with trainers and card girls.

#47

Night before first day of class I went out drinking without a plan on how to get home. I got incredibly drunk, to the point of not being allowed into a cab. I passed out on some random persons couch near sunrise, woke up at 6 in the morning and cabbed it back to my house. I barely had enough time to grab my bag and make it back for my first class at 8:30. I attended all 5 of my classes despite being very hungover and tired. That was fun.

#48

My welcome to college moment was more like a solid week straight. I go to a state school in upstate New York that's known as a huge party school.

The first week of school consisted of drinking and hopping from frat parties to bars, coming home at 3am wasted out of my mind, waking up at 12, recooperating from the hangover, and doing it all over again for 6 days straight.

I would wake up with people's numbers that I don't remember getting, and people coming to me during the day who I didnt know asking me when we should party together again.

And then I nearly failed out of school the first semester and stopped going out as much.

Party, but not too hard.

#49

My roommate was insulin dependent, wore a pump and everything. One night she drank so much she had to go to the hospital because her pump had stopped working and she was too drunk to notice.

#50

Pretty typical, walked to a house party with my roommates, walked into a small run down house that was shoulder to shoulder jam packed, beautiful girls everywhere, plenty of booze, I even said to myself..."You made it Andrew, this is college."

#51

First night out with new flatmates...started casually enough with a few beers in the flat. Move to the SU, few more beers. Half of the group (pussies) went home, other half continued to nightclub. Now, I was the token Irish guy at a UK uni, so everybody starts playing a little game called "Get the Paddy Pissed". One of my new flatmates starts buying me double tequilas... a lot of them. I loose track after the 5th. Apparently I then ran off (no memory of this) and got lost for a few hours. Somehow managed to make my way home where the party is still going on back at the flat. Someone hands me what I assume is a pint of water and I drink nearly half before realising that it is in fact vodka. Then the beer bong comes out and of course I have to do a few of those too. Then someone convinces me to eat one of the hottest chilli peppers commercially available in the UK...spend about an hour leaning my head out the window, using a can of beer as moutwash and spitting it out of a 4th floor window. Apparently at some point in the night, I also passed out standing up, just leaning against my bedroom door. Woke up the next day, and managed to make it to my 9 am lecture. Welcome to uni!!

#52

My RA got completely wasted the first weekend, came back to the dorm and threw up all over himself in the hallway. He then preceded to spray his entire thrown-up-on shirt with spray fixative, and leaves it to dry on the balcony off the hall. Confused? I'll explain.

It was an art school.

#53

I go to school in NYC and last year hurricane Irene was doin her bizniss, so of course we threw a "Hurricane Irene Party" during orientation week. Me and 2 guys trekked out into the storm to go buy more booze. When we got back the party had been busted by the RA (yeah, I know we were dumb), and I booked it with my huge backpack full of alcohol to my room.

#54

A whole campus decided they wanted me to get drunk. At one point of my drunken escapades that night the campus convinced me that some poor girl who lived a few floors down from me had taken my ID. I chased her for five minutes round the student village (she was laughing, it was fine) I eventually rugby-tackled her to the ground. After picking her up we all went back to my flat's kitchen. I don't remember much after that.

I woke up in the morning in my own bed (which was a supprise in itself), I had mushrooms (of the non-magic varitity) in my mouth and I had more writing on me than a decent newpaper. This was the point I realised I was going to like uni.

#55

I was in college ~2 weeks before loosing my virginity. And then I woke up next to a different girl the next weekend, and so on...

Also, the first time me and my roomie met our RA was the week before classes started so we had nothing to do really. It was the middle of the afternoon, we were drunk and walking around inside of the building with a wild pigeon my roommate somehow caught with his bare hands, when we bumped into her...

#56

The first time I got drunk/went out with my friends. I was like "Whoa, I don't have to like, check in with my parents, this is awesome!".

#57

Walking down the hall to my dorm. A girl I never met before says "I like your sideburns." We ended up [sleeping together]. Never got each others numbers. Never ran into each other again. College life.

#58

When I was walking to class and there was a Bud Light trailer in my way.

#59

I was in the first wave of freshman to move into dorms. The first night I went out to a party, slept in some random guy's room (on the floor. Lame.) The next morning I got lost trying to find my dorm, it started to rain and I was in a white shirt. Also other freshman and their parents were moving into their dorms. I finally found my dorm and puked in a trashcan in front of a bunch of people and parents. Hey, it's college.
TL;DR Walk of shame.

#60

My "Welcome to University" moment has to be when, during lunch, myself and a few friends went to a pub, got mildly drunk, then spent twenty minutes filling coke bottles with cider from the university bar so we can continue drinking during class.

That was a good first year of university.

#61

Hearing my roommate lose her virginity ten minutes after she almost threw up on my laptop at a party.

She's a riot.

#62

When I realized the beer flowed like water and the women were just as plentiful.

Growing up in the ’90s came with plenty of things that kids today might find completely strange, from cassette tapes and dial-up internet to spending hours outside without anyone being able to text you. It was a time when you had to wait for your favorite song to come on the radio, rewind videos before returning them, and hope nobody picked up the phone while you were using the internet.

Today, we took a nostalgic dive into the r/90s community to find memories, memes, and photos that perfectly capture what growing up during that unforgettable decade was really like. Some will make you laugh, others might unlock memories you didn't even realize were still hiding somewhere in your brain. So keep scrolling, Pandas, and get ready for a serious dose of ’90s nostalgia.

If there’s one thing that truly defines the ’90s, it’s how much the world seemed to change in such a short time. The decade sat right in the middle of a major shift from the familiar analog world to the digital one we know today. Landlines, printed newspapers, video rental stores, and physical photo albums were still part of everyday life, but the internet was beginning to quietly change everything.

In The Nineties, Chuck Klosterman explores this monumental transition and captures the early, almost innocent public perception of the World Wide Web. Back then, many people had no idea that the strange new thing called “going online” would eventually transform how we work, communicate, shop, date, and entertain ourselves. Looking back now, it’s fascinating to realize that the ’90s were essentially the bridge between two completely different worlds.

During the ’90s, cellphones began transitioning from bulky, expensive devices to something more compact and accessible to ordinary people. Phones like the Nokia 5110 became instantly recognizable symbols of the era, and suddenly, carrying a phone around no longer seemed like something out of a science-fiction movie. Of course, these phones were nothing like the tiny supercomputers sitting in our pockets today. There were no endless apps, high-quality cameras, or social media notifications constantly demanding attention. But at the time, being able to call someone while away from home felt pretty revolutionary. And let's be honest, a phone that could survive being dropped approximately a thousand times had its own kind of magic.

And it wasn’t just technology that saw major advancements during the decade. The medical world was making life-changing progress too. In 1995, doctors introduced Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy which transformed HIV from what had largely been considered a guaranteed death sentence into a manageable chronic condition for many patients. That same year, the FDA approved LASIK, opening the door for millions of people to correct their vision through a relatively quick outpatient procedure. Advances in early detection, including screening methods such as mammograms, also helped improve cancer outcomes. Along with developments in treatment, including more targeted approaches to chemotherapy, cancer death rates began showing important long-term improvements.

The ’90s also helped reshape the global economy in ways that would be felt for decades. Agreements such as the North American Free Trade Agreement which came into effect in 1994, and the creation of the World Trade Organization in 1995, dramatically changed international trade. Barriers between countries were lowered, making it easier for goods, services, and businesses to move across borders.

Of course, globalization brought its own complicated debates and consequences, but it also played a major role in economic growth in many developing regions. The expansion of global trade helped create new opportunities and contributed to hundreds of millions of people rising out of extreme poverty, particularly in rapidly developing countries across Asia. So while many of us remember the ’90s for Tamagotchis and boy bands, the decade was also quietly reshaping the wider world.

On a lighter and much more entertaining note, the ’90s also gave us movies that completely changed what audiences thought was possible on the big screen. Jurassic Park in 1993 brought dinosaurs to life in a way that left viewers genuinely amazed, blending practical effects with groundbreaking computer-generated imagery. Then came Toy Story in 1995, which made history as the first fully computer-animated feature film.

It wasn't just a fun movie about toys coming to life; it marked the beginning of a major shift in animation and filmmaking. Hollywood increasingly embraced digital technology, and visual effects began opening doors to stories that would have been far more difficult to create using practical effects alone. For a decade often remembered as simpler, the ’90s were actually laying the groundwork for many of the movies and digital entertainment experiences we enjoy today.

And that’s what makes looking back at the ’90s so much fun. The decade gave us major scientific breakthroughs, changing technology, new ways of connecting with the world, and plenty of unforgettable pop culture moments. And today’s collection celebrates the smaller, everyday things that made growing up during that time so memorable—the gadgets, habits, fashion choices, and little experiences that probably seemed completely normal back then. Now, they instantly trigger a wave of nostalgia. So, Pandas, which of these memories took you straight back to the ’90s? And what’s one thing from the decade you wish you could experience again?
