RadioShack, and it’s not even close.
The same old 555 timers, opamps, and LED PCB xmas trees they’ve been selling for 30 years are nice but…there’s much more interesting shit now and they didnt seem to catch on to that until the very end when they suddenly rushed out all the Arduino shit.
Around here, Micro Center replaced Radio Shack for my component impulse buy needs, and they even have Adafruit and Sparkfun stuff, and several aisles of a variety of other hobby electronics stuff. It’s RadioShack x100.
Can we do radio shack from the 80s early 90s over the cellphone retailer they turned into before death.
Just before they flatlined, they started stocking more modern hobbyist stuff. Arduinos, shields, Parallax Propeller, and Vex, but stupid expensive.
I mean…it kinda makes the most sense to bring Jesus back.
-
Still none of us would leave the house to rent movies if blockbuster came back.
-
None of us have shopped at toys r us since were had our own money to spend, so toys r us wold exist to us all the same way it does now: a fond memory.

RadioShack…I mean, would anyone not buy their shit online if that happened? Nah. Also, not to mention, fuck corporations and chain stores and consumerism.
And if you bring Jesus back…he’s a socialist pacifist Jew that might have a chance of setting the worst America has to offer right on their misguided opinions. We need more powerful anarcho-socialists, especially powerful ones—and I mean, literally powerful. He is purportedly magic. Boom. Goodbye capitalism.
No question. Bring Jesus back. And Conan.
I mean, if we’re bringing like Bible Jesus back, I’d agree. But if we were to bring back the actual Jesus, he’d probably just be some religious lefty with a podcast and no one would care.
I’m not sure how a socialist jew half way around the world from me is going to help me find a specific value capacitor that I need immediately to fix an AV reciever I just picked up from goodwill.
He does make a good point. As much as I like online ordering, being able to go to a store and get what I need the same day is something else
I love living just a short drive from a MicroCenter.
Lucky. The closest one to me is at least a state away
Lucky. The closest one to me is at least an ocean away
You didn’t read revelations, did you? When he comes back… Let’s just say it’s going to be a rough ride.
We’re already in for a rough ride. Seeing “Christians” get what’s coming to them would be so worth it
Like we aren’t prepped for that…
Conan the O’Brien?
Not to mention the absolute melt down that would happen with the worst of Americans if he came back the same race he was when he died.
Oh man the amount of evangelical Christians in America who think Jesus was white is way too damn high.

As someone who tinkers with electronics, hard agree
Toys R Us, easy.
It never left Canada.
You guys accepting American defectors? A land without Toys R Us is a land that I don’t want to be in.
Either RadioShack or Toys R Us. The other two, one is useless in this day and age, and the other is Blockbuster
Toys R Us
I have too much nostalgia in my veins for Toys R Us, but I want to say that when I was under 12, there was nothing like it.
We still have Toys R Us in Canada. As an adult there’s really not much to get excited about in there anymore. At least Radio Shack could bring out some middle aged tinkering in me.
theres one or two blockbusters
deleted by creator
Y’all really need to step up the meme game. What does this even mean. “I’m old ha ha ha?”
Also, Jesus. I don’t need more cheap crap, I need to get drunk on a friday without spending my whole paycheck and Josh can hook that up.
Jesus but only if He’s vibing with His roommate the Buddha in some small apartment like in that one manga
Blockbuster for sure. You can get similar experiences from other stores for RadioShack and toys r us.
I’m going Blockbuster, just because I’d love to be able to rent new release video games again. Redbox used to scratch that itch, until they stopped carrying them.
I’d want Blockbuster to roam the isles when I’m in the area but I know I’d never actually rent anything and just go home and stream it instead
Roaming the isles is all I want it for lol
RadioShack had everything you were looking for and absolutely nothing at the same time. It was glorious.
When they started filling the store with more cell phone advertising space than anything I knew they were done for… Who in the hell bought cell phones at RadioShack? They stopped carrying much of what I went for, so I stopped going.
The other stuff they were selling didn’t sell well. My ex worked at one during that transition. They made most of their money from cell phone sales so it kind of made sense to pivot.
A pivot made sense, just don’t think becoming a cell store was the call. Clearly didn’t work out so hot as a long term strategy.
Jesus for the Chaos
Most people wouldn’t believe it was him anyway
Many of his followers would say he’s the wrong color for him to truly be Jesus
Move to Canada. We still have Toys R Us and “the Source” (which is what RadioShack became here).
yeah, don’t enter “The Source” to buy electronic components or kits or whatever. IIRC it is owned by Bell and mostly sell phone plans.
Yeah but the source sucks, it’s not the same.
Even toys r us isn’t the same they don’t have game consoles set up to demo (at least not near me). But at least it’s kinda close.
Yeah, you can’t buy… anything that Radio Shack used to sell at the Source. It’s just cell phones and headphones now. It was still pretty ass before Bell bought it, but at least it had, you know, basic things like cables and solder when Circuit City owned it.
I live in a crazy ancient backwards land where Toys R’ Us still exists.
So the obvious choice is RadioShack.
Toys r us is back, after avoiding legal obligations to their former employees.
Toys R Us only went under in the US thanks to Vulture Captialists like Mitt Romney.
So old school Radio Shack with the hobbyist electronics in the back.
Jesus.
Only because I want to see how Right wing “Christians” would react to being faced with their messiah being a middle-eastern globalist communist that preaches love and acceptance.
That is a good reason. It almost compensates for the fact that when he does come back, most everything is going to hell In a handbasket.
So, I’ll go with another option, thank you.
If you believe a book that says there is a magic man in the sky who made us in his image, but is angry with how we turned out.
Let’s be honest. If he comes back, doesn’t that mean that book is true? We’re literally acting under the presumption of the guy coming back.
Which means there would be a pissy magic man in the sky. And that means we would go to hell in a handbasket.
So I’m voting on Radio Shack.
Fair. Radio Shack it is.
Assuming he existed to begin with.
Mf would kill himself when he finds out the present left wings

I’m sorry, what gave you the idea that I support republicans. And also I’m not from USA
They like to pretend they’re perfect.
Being overly defensive after being purposely deceptive you may not support them but you’d fit right in
That being said I’m not American and I don’t support either party either but you certainly gave the impression you did. Because the only place that uses the right and the left like that is generally the United States everywhere else I’ve been to use the actual party names
Sure buddy
He really would, when he finds out what kind of animals would allow them wiggle around their dicks in front of kids
Like Matt Gaetz? Maybe, I wouldn’t exactly call him left though
Alright. If it’s true, Jesus would because of that too
Ya he’s gonna be pissed about the religious and right wingers that use his name in vain to gain power while fucking kids.
Yeah of course
Honestly this time, instead of crucifying him, we really should strap him down to a table and put him in a lab to see if we can figure out some more medical modern miracles before he rage quits to heaven again.
Not like anyone on this Earth is going to gain anything from listening to his actual teachings or anything.
We’ll all be living on easy street once we invent magic.
What if he tells the Onlyfans girls not to sin again?😂
Growing up near Chicago, every Saturday morning (I think?) they had the lucky kid who got to run through a Toys R Us grabbing everything they could for a few minutes. Man, it was the kids version of the lottery dream. I knew exactly which aisles I would hit and all the stuff I’d grab. RIP Geoffrey.
