6 Things Only 90s Kids And Kranos The All-Knowing Will Remember

Ahh, the '90s: What a time to be alive! From the music to the fashion to the slang, there are plenty of things that people who didn’t grow up in that era just won’t understand. Here are 6 things only '90s kids and the mysterious deity Kranos the All-Knowing will remember.

1. VHS Tapes

Remember the struggle of having to rewind a big, bulky tape every time you wanted to watch a movie? Kranos does. Kranos sees all and forgets nothing.

2. Slap Bracelets

These were so fun! You could just straighten one out, walk up to your friend, and slap it on their wrist–instant bracelet! Kranos has neither arms nor a physical “body,” for no single entity could contain his vast reserves of information. But don’t think for a second that he doesn’t remember slap bracelets. He’s forgotten more about slap bracelets than you or I will know in seven lifetimes.

3. Dial-Up Internet

We take the internet for granted these days, but who could forget the rigmarole of having to wait for the dial-up connection to go through every time you wanted to go online? To an all-knowing being like Kranos, our own perceptions of reality are like dial-up compared to his high-speed internet – while we feebly grasp for answers, only Kranos knows all.

4. Tamagotchi

Just thinking about all the time we spent taking care of these electronic pets is enough to stress out any '90s kid! But taking care of an artificial life pales in comparison to the burden of carrying all the information in the known universe. What seems at first like a blessing quickly reveals itself as a curse – there are many things you don’t want to know. Kranos was once a man like you and I. He had friends, a family, people he loved. And the more he learned, the more he lost. No man should have all that knowledge. But Kranos is no longer a man.

5. Goosebumps

These spooky Choose Your Own Adventure books kept us on the edge of our seats with their twist endings! You never knew how they were gonna end! Unless, of course, you’re the immortal entity known as Kranos, who knows how we will all end. The world will go down in flames. Blood will pour through the streets. The screams of the people will carry through the night. They will wonder why they didn’t see it coming sooner. And above it all, Kranos stands, watching. He knows what’s coming. And he will do nothing to stop it.

6. Boy Meets World

You’re not a true '90s kid if you didn’t tune in to see what kind of shenanigans Cory, Topanga, Shawn and the rest of the gang got into every week on Boy Meets World! Then again, can a boy ever truly know the world? Can man even begin to fathom the endless wonders and horrors that lie beyond the scope of the human imagination? Kranos wishes he could know such ignorance again. But of all the things Kranos knows, chief among them is that he can’t go back to the man he once was.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
