Obviously we ate part of our tvs

The televisions enticed us with their wisdom and knowledge. We wanted to be like them. Now they're hipsters pulling a "we were wider than we were tall before it was cool" and we feel like losers, but they're pulling this practically-two-dimensional look that I don't think humans could ever pull off.

Remember having to pull the Tele forward to plug the Saga Genesis in? Yeah.

Back in my day we had to do it in secret. Parents thought that plugging in RCA cables would burn the house down or something.

Video games :)

When I play video games I'm too lazy to stop playing and eat. As a result, I'm thin as fuck.

Weight gain is typical when you stop smoking. Like 100million of us did :). PS i don't smoke

People were just as fat in 1990.

[–]Realworld 1 point2 points ago

They've been gaining weight steadily for decades now. My college graduating class had a fat kid; one kid, just one. That was back in the '70s. Young adults have gotten progressively fatter since then.

It's simple really, we ATE the television.

This, and a huge dose of whole grains washed down with HFCS.
