Ringtone game? No idea what that is.

Pretty much check off the others though.

It’s not a literal game. It’s slang for being seen as good at something or just having skill at it.

Fair enough. I was a square with the default ones.

It’s when we were buying ringtones in the iTunes store and allegedly downloading them off the internet…finding random meme sounds, songs and shit

what about an MP3 and a slide phone?

And I still have ringtone game. I work at racetracks and I’ve had people rush out of their chairs on break when I get a phone call because they think cars came out of pit lane and are back on track.

You pass for me at least. Those slide phones were insane, I would fat finger those damn keyboards all the time! Even with my elementary school fingers!

Obama? Bro I remember “voting” for Bush in his second term lol.

Then I was sad because my friend told me afterward that his parents told him John Kerry would kill babies if he didn’t win, which was clearly mistranslated somewhere along the way lol

How would Gen Z have voted for Obama? We were born starting 1997. To vote for Obama even for his second term, you would have had to be born by 1994.

i’m pretty sure it was just used to simulate the importance of voting and how it would be once we were old enough to vote. That’s how my school was anyway

Oh, okay. We never did that. That makes sense; thanks.

similarly in my elementary school we had a voting activity but it wasnt obama/mccain, it was just different stuff.

obviously i was way too young to vote at the time but i at least remember seeing all the voting booths set up at my elementary school near the office and then hearing later about Obama winning and how big of a deal it was

In second grade my class lined up and cast fake votes. It was just for fun
