The static on old CRT TVs with rabbit ears was the cosmic microwave background. No one in the last 25 years has ever seen it.

    My mother had one of these. I got to use it as a hand-me-down as a teenager because my mother was abusive AF.

    For clarity, the subject of the TV wasn’t the abusive part. Her rationale of “I didn’t have one when I was a kid so you don’t get to have one while you’re a kid” was. It didn’t apply just to the TV.

      Same lol. Only 3 channels until I was 12 or so and no internet in the house until I was 15 or 16.
