RadioShack, and it’s not even close.
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
I mean…you could still do that. There are just more advanced electronics stores. Just because they’re not called RadioShack doesn’t mean you can’t still got to a store.
[Incoming text message] Cast your eyes to the other side of the car, my child. That discarded television contains the capacitor you need at the end of the spotted blue and white cable.
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.
The amount of evangelical Christian’s in America who think Jesus was white is way too damn high.
You mean…100%?
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
While the irony of the distraction of most of them along with the rest of us would be briefly enjoyable, I wouldn’t wish it on anybody.
I am irked by the fact that some of them are actively seeking to trigger a real Armageddon, though. That group should be handled with extreme prejudice.
Conan the O’Brien?

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.
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.
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.
Or we could, you know, ask him?
Not like anyone on this Earth is going to gain anything from listening to his actual teachings or anything.
🤔🤌
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.
Yes, I was indeed working on the already defined context. Radio shack would be my choice, too.
Assuming he existed to begin with.
I’m an atheist, but this is a funny meme so I just “yes and”-ed its premise.
I’m an atheist too, but who knows who/what is gonna return if you pick him. Should be interesting.
Maybe the one from Rick and Morty.
He has cum gutters!
My first thought was he’d be cancelled or get crucified again. He’d need to show some full on magic to get our attention today. Water to wine or walking on water is too “street magic” today.
Yeah, he’d need to demonstrate better powers or he’d be dead very quickly.
Maybe if he could wave his hand at an army and turn all the water in the soldiers bodies to wine? That’d be cool.
What if he tells the Onlyfans girls not to sin again?😂
Removed by mod
Sure buddy
Removed by mod
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.

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
They like to pretend they’re perfect.
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
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.
I CHOOSE HARAMBE
I’ve still got my dick out.
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.
Radioshack fs, bring back the idea of repairing your shit to the public mind
1980s-90s RadioShack, yes.
They really went off the rails during their decline. They became a cellphone store, and not at all a good one… Their pricing on EVERYTHING was not only non-competitive, it was ludicrously expensive.
I’d say Jesus. Either to prove everything written in the bible is fake or to watch some sweet miracles happen. Either way, I win.
“You didn’t bring back the real Jesus. This is a false flag. Jesus was a Soros plant and not the same savior mentioned in the Bible.” Is probably what people will say if you did the former.
Lmfao
Modern Christians wouldn’t recognize him and would crucify him again
Look it’s a commie! Get that dirty hippy!
Isn’t rapture supposed to happen upon his return? Idk your life, but I’m personally not rooting for that lol.
Yes, would be much more entertaining than all the others combined.
He will turn out to be just a guy with mental instability and irrational hate for fig trees.
You can’t bring back what never existed
Secular scholarly consensus is that Jesus did in fact exist. The religion named after him doesn’t have much to do with his message, and he certainly didn’t resurrect or do miracles, but he did exist. The idea that he is entirely mythical is a fringe theory held by literally one scholar, Richard Carrier. It’s certainly psychologically appealing to many ex-tians but doesn’t hold water.
We’re also fairly certain he was not white.
RadioShack.
I remember going as a kid, once. I was 5 I think. It was…unique. A shit ton of red I remember. And cheap cell phone cords. Wish I could’ve experienced it more. Especially during the 90s. But that’s before my time.
If you think 90s Radio Shack was great, trust me when I say that 80s Radio shack was even better. They had Heathkit project kits, robots, various TRS and Tandys, plus PARTS. It was so good.
I remember going to RadioShack as a kid too and they had a Tandy computer setup. It was magical for 8 year old me. I think they even did repairs back then because that electrical soldering smell is seared in my memory.
That sounds amazing. Always wanted a Tandy. Even if it’s before my time.
My family’s fist computer was a Tandy 1000 around 92. I was so stoked to make video games on the fly like Clarissa Explains It All did.
Little did I know game development takes a little more elbow grease than cutting and pasting pictures of your friends into an existing game format.
I learned a lot about getting around in DOS because the desktop OS it shipped with was garbage, at least.
The clone PC junior for the masses!
There is a single one-off store in my city (Copenhagen, Denmark) that is almost exactly like a mid 90s radioshack. Cheap cables, electronics projects, bargain bin full of random components, shoddy soldering irons, etc.
Somehow it’s still around. I’m deathly afraid that it’ll close some day, so I try to shop there whenever possible.
I would choose Jesus and I’m not even Cristian 🤣🤣🤣
You monster. You know the modern Christians would just kill him again. And he wouldn’t fare any better if he came back in a Muslim country either.
That is the point, then we can finally lay Christianity to rest. It is clear the majority of Christians are not followers of Christ. Killing off or ignoring their own prophet would force them to recognize they are just authoritarian assholes.
Killing off or ignoring their own prophet would force them to recognize they are just authoritarian assholes.
I think you have too much faith in them, ironically.
But if he comes back as ancap jebus with muscles we are all going to burn.
The fuck mate, I didn’t even see Jesus until you pointed it out.
I think people are forgetting that Blockbuster video was the shitty megacorp that killed all the charming local, independent video stores.
Those stores had personality. I miss that experience.
Blockbuster felt corporate and bad.
80s RadioShack for sure. I miss that place so much.
RADIOSHACK!!
This is the only answer. I need aether to coaxial converter. For sure they had one.
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.
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.
Jesus. He is slated to return one day anyway but we need him now to show republicans what christianity is all about
Amen brother.
