RadioShack, and it’s not even close.
As someone who tinkers with electronics, hard agree
I was born in 2001, what is RadioShack?
As a kid, it was where you got all the coolest remote controlled cars and helicopters (pre drones). As an electronics tinkerer, they had drawers full of components and other parts for all electronic needs.
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.
Either RadioShack or Toys R Us. The other two, one is useless in this day and age, and the other is Blockbuster
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
I’d like to bring back the market environment that made Radio Shack profitable - when the “right to repair” was a given, and not something that needed to be fought for in court.
Radioshack fs, bring back the idea of repairing your shit to the public mind
RadioShack had everything you were looking for and absolutely nothing at the same time. It was glorious.
RADIOSHACK!!
This is the only answer. I need aether to coaxial converter. For sure they had one.
80s RadioShack for sure. I miss that place so much.
Fuck the nostalgia treats. As far as I have read,
was a comrade and would be a comrade again.Exactly. I’m an atheist and electronics geek, but I am torn between Radio Shack and Jesus. I bet Jesus could effectively organize a world-wide general strike that completely overthrows capitalism and replaces it with a dictatorship of the proletariat so fast it would make Jeff Bezos’ head spin and pop off.
As long as I am fantasizing, I’ll bet if Radio Shack came back, they would start selling Framework laptops to ordinary consumers and kick-start a market of DIY mobile computing platforms from laptops to cell phones to TV sets to home rack-mount servers running fediverse services all built with standardized parts and overthrow the consumerist electronic appliance market.
Jesus. Imagine how much of the world would react if
1: jesus literally proved he existed to faiths that say he’s a hoax (im agnostic btw)
2: He reforms the groups that use his name as a pretext to exclude & marginalize others.
3: Dude turned out to have been gaming like a boss in heaven, like dude comes down & faces the pope in Dungeons & Dragons or Pokemon lmfaooo
Plot twist: he gets crucified, again.
- World Christian churches split into at least 2 additional factions per each existing faction (Catholic, Protestant, Greek Orthodox, whatever orthodox, and whatever else exists). Each having a slightly different view on the new Jesus dude.
Nevermind if Jesus turns up to be non binary I expect a meltdown then.
- He could turn water into wine.
As a non-American I’m not familiar with any of these things. That dude looks kinda familiar though, wasn’t he one of the Beatles? The one that got shot? Bring him back please!
RadioShack, the real thing but modernised, like Fry’s and microcenter but way more hardcore. It’s not even a contest
Jesus but only if He’s vibing with His roommate the Buddha in some small apartment like in that one manga
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.
As someone who worked at RadioShack, I would only want to bring it back if we could have owners who care about electronics and technology more and making profits less. I got to live the decline as they tried to become a cell phone store, and then got destroyed by big box stores and provider stores in that market. RadioShack would need to stay in its lane. Electronics, home theater, computers.
If you have a MicroCenter in your area, it will have all this for you, tho, so I honestly would pick ToysRUs. There just isn’t a real “fun focused” retailer anymore. Even adults could feel like kids at ToysRUs.
Agreed. I kiss RadioShack but by the end it wasn’t what it was, and Microcenter still is.
Toys R Us, I am just sad my kid will never experience it. My wallet is happy though.
Jesus. He is slated to return one day anyway but we need him now to show republicans what christianity is all about
Amen brother.
