There was a small lake near the village I grew up. We used to go to play, swim and skip stones and so on. It always was shallow, then it was a puddle for a while and finally completely dried out. Now it looks like nothing was ever there, as it’s mostly plants now, though you can still kinda tell if you know where to look. Was weird to me to think that young people who grow up there might never know it used to exist.
@weremacaque it sounds flippant but seriously: The USA. I find this current view of my home country to be unrecognizably insane...we played outside, we drank and smoked early and generally got along. I grew up in an integrated neighborhood, integrated public school...
Bunch of my childhood town is now just more buildings. Used to be more forest and now there's nothing but slabs of concrete. This small mall that used to be there? Buildings now, just tons of buildings.
