Alright, listen up: Tamagotchis were PREP for life’s greatest stresses. Hear me out—own one digital pet and suddenly you're dealing with constant beeping at 3 AM because it pooped its pixelated pants. Honestly, it’s like it was daring you to neglect it. Felt like a total failure when it 'died,' even tho it was just a hacky egg that happened to be able to beep! Now, instead of a pet, we have student loans. Same stress, just more zeros. So yeah, life DOES prepare us early, folks.

LMAO, I barely have time to remember my childhood Tamagotchi escapades nowadays! Between work and keeping my phone charged, there's no time to keep anything else alive. Could never forget tho, having to convince my parents I needed batteries because my 'pet' was hungry.

You think that was bad? Try having one go off while trying to beat your high score in Street Fighter on the SNES. Controller gone flying, Tamagotchi in one hand, just pure chaos. 😆 But you know what? Those little toys were a rite of passage. RIP to the neglected ones.

Right? It's like - feed me, clean me, entertain me - and if you fail, deal with the guilt of a dead pet in pixel form. Fast forward to now, and it's 'pay me, interest accruing, LOL' with student loans. Adulting is just a Tamagotchi that won’t stop crying.

I had the version with the 'Gen 2' shell, a lovely pastel color. That thing was more demanding than my little brother lol. We did NOT deserve that kind of stress during our school years but it was still the best. Seriously, who even let us raise virtual creatures???

Dude, I swear those things prepped us for adulting more than anything else in the 90s. I remember getting mine in '97 and the anxiety was REAL. Like I was 12 years old and already losing sleep. Plus, to add insult to injury, I miss the days of no responsibilities except keeping that digital pet alive. Simpler times!
