Amega and Acorn? NES, Master System, etc made sort of come backs with retro stuff. Not so much Amega, and certainly not Acorn.

You probably didn't know about this as it didn't get the attention of the NES and such, but here is a remade Amiga PC. https://retrogames.biz/products/thea500-mini/
There's AmigaKit's A600GS, but that feels a bit less polished compared to the A500mini
No, I didn't know. Not something I expect to see in the middle aisle at Aldi. Pretty sure I've seen cheap retro consoles as stocking fillers!
I have certainly have seen some cheap knockoff retro consoles at Aldi in their random seasonal aisle, but I've never seen any of the proper, branded retro remakes like this, the C64, or the NES/SNES/etc consoles.
I've seen very cheap MegaDrives clones, with real Sega games, somewhere. Maybe it wasn't Aldi.
Porno mags in hedgerows
lack of bugs, mostly due to global warming pesticide use, and planting non-native ornamental plants, most of which can be weedy or poisonous.
More specific for a better visualization, bugs hitting the windshield of a car. I had never thought about it until someone pointed it out, It was so common back in the day, in the 90s at least.
That opening scene in MIB is not relatable anymore.
Blockbuster.
Sense.
Discarded ring pulls from drinks cans
Oil-puddle stains in car parking bays
White dog poo on the street.
A staple of 90s observational comedians
Kids playing in the streets.
Kids having semi autonomy.
Cheap rent.
Glass ~~fold~~ food and beverage bottles and jars.
A middle class.
Hope.
Or to keep us docile/fighting each other while they build their arks and bunkers.

Man, I miss hope. It was so great.
It's a nice town. But it's so small you could almost miss it as you drove through.

A windscreen covered with insects
Because all of the insects are dead
You definitely see a lot less of them. Some of that was intentional, at least in the US, as the "love bug" problem was supposedly something that we caused and the solution was to spread sterilized bugs that would mingle with the regular bugs and prevent the population booms. No idea how well it worked, it could just be that our overuse of pesticides did the real work.
You ought to see my car... they're all on the front of that one
Pedo’s in jail.
That was a television, not a jail cell.
Video rental shops. Going into town to pick a movie for the weekend used to be a weekly thing for us.
Windshields being covered with bug guts. Way more fireflies in the summer (but our yard still has some because we don't rake under the bushes). People smoking just fucking everywhere.
I thought of the bugs when I posted this. I remember on long journeys dad would have to pull over and wipe the windshield clear.
Children building guys and demanding money.
