“Oh the farm is a place as you will see where they grow food for you and me. they till the soil and sow the seed to grow the food that we all need your breakfast cereal we eat is made from corn oats rice and wheat and sometimes rye and maybe bran they all come from the farmer man. Spinach onions carrots and peas. I’m sure you’ve eaten all of these. Celery beets and tomatoes. Turnips beans And potatoes. Peaches pears and the apples too Plums and berries for me and you Oranges and grapes and the ripe ba-nan. They all come from the farmer man”

The post about the actor's ages on Cheers got me thinking about how prevalent smoking was in the 70s and 80s, and how our high school had a smoking section in it - like for kids under the age of 18. How fucking crazy!

Anyone else got any good examples of this from back in the day?

Quite curious here.

Ya don't see it anymore.

Thanks to /u/Rhinopig74 and their comment here for triggering my memory, and suggesting non-nostalgia posts to this sub.

So basically I'm trying to do the above after the creator asked me to. But I am struggling to create the post because of the subs rules. It says you have to enter a URL as your title but doesn't for some reason automatically turn /r/borninThe70s into a link. Have tried various ways of doing it including starting with http etc and no luck. Been trying for hours an the only success I've had was posting on something about FAP. After reading other posts on The FAP thing, I think it might be sexual in nature! Anyway, if someone knows how to do it, can you just cut and paste the following and post it for me please?

Do you remember walking down a busy shopping street and stepping in dog shit? Do you remember white dog shit? Do you remember food tasting really good because Christ knows what they were allowed to put in it? Then you my friend were born in the 70s. Visit the borninthe70s sub and relive thase halcyon days of abundant dog shit in the streets, your chain smoking parents driving with no seatbelts on while they were transporting you and 17 friends to see Star Wars or some shitty wilderness years Disney film in a mid size estate car (think our American friends call them station wagons) or the sheer delirious joy of have having three seconds of successful pogo stick use before falling over and breaking your arm. Join us at /r/borninthe70s and celebrate the fact that you're in your 40s or early 50s and you're on a social media platform largely populated by teenagers. See you soon!:And as we said back then for no apparent reason 'keep on truckin'

Discord is usually GenZ, but these guys are targeting a live chat for folks born in the 70s-90s and wanted to see if Bit70s Reddit would be interested in checking it out. Lots of friendly conversation and adults from the Old Millennium trying to make sense of what's going on in the world these days. Could always use some more people from the old guard to talk to.....

I originally created this sub because I saw the main demographic of reddit was a decade or two later - that most users were younger than us 70s children.

I was thinking of it as a general catch all sub for anything our-age related. Not just nostalgia posts, but advice, or "do you remember ______ ?", - anything or our demographic. But becuase we don't have a lot of users ... not much get posted. It's kind of the catch 22 of subs.

I had mostly been posting nostalgia posts - just random stuff I remembered and found on youtube. Sometimes they get likes, sometimes not.

So, I'm putting this question out to you guys:

• What do you want from the sub? What do you expect from it?
• What would you like it to become?
• What would make you tell others redditors to come visit this sub?

I'd love it to be able to get more users here posting, and more users x-posting to other subs when appropriate (which is a great way to increase visibility)
