My mum tried to ban me from watching South Park before South Park made fun of exactly that.
I wasn't banned from watching South Park when it started. Even my 3 -year-old at the time brother was allowed to watch it with me. But I was banned from watching Ren and Stimpy several years earlier which disappointed me at the time but in hindsight I support wholeheartedly.
Can vaguely remember the Berlin Wall falling. All the adults seemed to think it was really important.
Maaaaan somebody reminded me this existed last week and I had to bust these out and give em a spin
I have been born
I haven't died yet
I'd guess you're at least 7 years old.
That's correct! Now excuse me, mum says I better get up or be late.
I have a child old enough to vote
In which god forsaken country are voting rights dependent on children's age?
Uh, most of the countries I know you need to be an adult to vote aka 18.

Tiny me's first computer game ever played:
Currently there are about 8.2 billion people on earth. When I was born it was just under 3 billion.
Back when I was a kid, The Simpsons was a really good show
I saw star wars at the cinema when it was first released
I envy you.
How was it?
I didn’t really understand it. I was about eight I think.
I used to type Load ""
When I told my colleagues about my surprise when I found out The Scorpions were German, none, but none of them had any idea what band I was talking about.
Waiting for your favourite song to be played on the radio and pressing record and pause on the cassette recorder at the exact right time. Massive feelings of win.
I loved the star wars films that came out while I was a child, but the ones that were made after that are really bad.
So you're in your either in your mid 50s or wrong.
I was alive for 9/11 but have no memory of it
I got my first cell phone before the iPhone was first released

I saw Star Wars at the theater in its first run.
Here's my seat on the bus.
LOL thanks whipper snapper
I was born during the One Child Policy in mainland China (I was the unlawful second-born child in my family)
My schools did active shooter drills when I was in K-12 school in the US
Fraggle Rock
Super Mario World was the first video game I played.
White dog shit was a thing when I was a kid
I was there, at Cape Canaveral, in the audience, when Challenger exploded. I had just finished Jr. Space Camp, and decided that if stuff like that was gonna happen while I was around NASA, then maybe I should look for an alternative career path.

I recently bought "Sonic the Hedgehog" a third time.
I vividly remember seeing a show on TV very young, in a hotel room. It just happened to be on. When I saw it again, older, I realized it was the TNG pilot.
My youngest kid just graduated highschool. Pell Grants literally covered my tuition (nothing else, but the classes) for college.
Also I know what this is
About as old as [joke redacted] was
I played Super Mario Bros on a table arcade in a pizza restaurant.
My pizza place had a sit down Mrs Pac-Man, a stand up Galaga, Tempest and Centipede, and a western themed pinball machine.
I still love gorilla.bat.
