Basically compare Chipotle to the Taco Bell dollar menu - that's the difference between current food and 90s food (obviously Taco Bell is still delicious - but there's a difference between fresh guacamole and stuff that was grilled 10 minutes ago versus ingredients that were cooked 3 months ago and squeezed out of a bag).

Going to kids stuff is pretty crazy. You go to the zoo, which used to just be Oscar Meyers hot dogs with a bag of lays, and it is all hand breaded chicken tenders, stir fry bowls, etc.

When you go to a baseball game they have craft beers and steak sandwiches.

that said, ppl still were addicted to fast food and getting fat but i think in early 90's the obesity rate was still only like 10%

you really made the right call by moving away from amerikkka permanently because it is increasingly clear that despire being born and raised in the USA, you have zero comprehension or connection to ordinary american life. is that the result of being a dorky awkward turdskin bro growing up? 100% chance you were a sheltered only child at a minimum.

you can filter apple varieties by year of introduction:

Or maybe you grew up rich in a city or something

around where i grew up there were also a bunch of pick-your-own orchards.

they've now all been bulldozed for sprawl housing, and god knows where our apples are imported from.

Why would you want local apples? They can be picked unripe and trucked cross country - capitalism knows best!

If you go to the last surviving quality apple farm in your area, or to a foreign country where they care about fruit (e.g. Japan is insane for quality fruit), it's like an entirely different food.

Internet is an obvious change “for the better” but everyone is addicted to it at their core, tons of time is spent trying to keep little kids from getting their brains warped by it. To call it a societal plus now is bizarre.

I can find and play any obscure (or popular) song in a second and it’ll be high quality audio. Same with movies, TV shows and print media.

Traveling to a new city is incredibly easy now. I can use Google Maps to get directions. I can use Uber to get around and not even worry about taxis or car rentals. I can look at reviews to see the menu and pick a decent cafe for breakfast.

It’s incredibly easy to find an obscure part or item and have it delivered to your door within 48 hours.

"Navigation" is maybe the only thing that's better, but what it's done is subsume ever more businesses into soulless "office parks" or on garbage truck alleys and expect you to find your way there--rather than an expectation that you will have "regular" establishments that are along ordinary transit corridors with decent signage, or that, heaven forbid, you might walk there. It's also moved this way to an ever-increasingly reliance on navigation because malls have been hollowed out GC mergers & shitty VC REITs.

Broadly speaking, things are better, services are worse

*BUT* more mystery meats on the road who can't drive and make driving a less pleasant experience, so it's almost a wash
