No, you’re not dreaming. You didn’t hit snooze, you hit a time warp. One second it’s now, the next? You’re staring at a ceiling fan spinning over paisley wallpaper, wondering where your phone went and why everything smells like toast and leaded gas. It’s not retro, it’s reality.
Welcome to 1973, where the hair is high, the pants are higher, and the world is proudly unplugged. You’re not visiting the past. You are the past. And it’s not waiting for you to adjust. So shake off that 21st-century fog, because history just handed you a cup of Sanka and said, "Wake up."
