"I have never seen a person more accurately type out that sound. Huzzah to you."

"The best thing about those was you could tell how far away the phone was. Because it made all those different jangly pitches with resonating bells, you could tell whether the phone was one room away or at the other end of the house / upstairs, by the way the pitch sounded."

"Cigarette smell on a plane is one thing I don't miss!!!"

"YES! Especially 'the big board' at Penn Station."

"That is an amazing description. Thank you for unlocking a core memory.  I forgot how the static felt on your arm."

"Scccccht! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Scccccht! zzzzzzzzzzzzz Scccccht! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz."

(An explanation for those who don't know, as I didn't know what this was myself):

"Before photocopiers were around, there were mimeograph machines. They would make copies of black and white images reproduced in purple and white, and the paper smelled like a fresh sharpie marker. Schools would use them to copy stuff like worksheets and flyers."

"A teacher who had chalkboard skills was something to behold. Writing, spacing, speed, clarity, and even erasing. Some teachers were top notch."

"I can actually help explain this. Ethylene is a gas put out by fruit and vegetables, especially as it's ripening. It provides a lot of the smell when we taste food. That's why some stores have the green bags for fruit, as it's supposed to absorb ethylene. We are storing fresh vegetables and fruit much longer than we used to (which is good, it's less food waste) but many of the varieties are low-ethylene producing or they will try to limit exposure. That's why it tastes so much better from a U-pick farm or local market."
