Back in the early 19th Century, nostalgia, or “homesickness” was considered a mental disorder. People who experienced it were often confined to insane asylums.

Nostalgia is sort of like when a dog eats a bunch of old tacos. The it vomits only to eat it again. It’s a highly monetized form of cultural bulimia.

“Don’t go in! People get lost in there forever-”
Tell me about it. The internet is the biggest nostalgia enabler ever. It’s like a liquor store next to an alcoholic’s house.
