I find it so funny when a fanfic is taking place in some sort of past/historic time period and the characters will do/say something that doesn’t exist yet in that particular time period’s setting.
Me writing a stranger things fanfic and only realizing months after I posted that I included remote controls

I see this mainly happen in Stranger Things fanfics, but it happens to a few other fandoms/time travel fics.

No fr,, like they put on their wristwatch and jeans under their dress and it’s set in the 1850s

Like, I remembered not to include area codes, automatic doors, etc, and include things like banana clips and everyone smoking cigarettes

My favorite is when Facebook or some sort of present day social media is referenced and it’s like damn it’s 1983 I love it tho. 😂

My favorite is when they do the opposite. And they go way too far back in time. Like someone in the 90s using a record player. But not because it was retro, using it like it was a necessity because they didn’t realize they had cds in the 90s

Like for TVs? I think those were invented like mid 1960?

But not commonly used until the 90s unless you were rich. Most people would just go to TV and turn the nobs to change the channel or adjust the volume
