Travel through the annals of time and you will find pictures from your youth that are cute, weird, memorable, or unflattering. Heck, some are probably even inappropriate!
Without the magic of filters, fancy editing software, or selfie sticks, photos were taken without a care and tucked away by your mom, auntie, or grandparents. Sift through some today and you’ll be howling with laughter.
What the folks in these photos below have done is rummaged through their own collection of pics and recreated them down to the pose, hand gestures, and facial expressions. And by some miracle, some are even wearing the same outfit. Don’t ask. Prepare to be rolling on the floor as you scroll through these silly pics!
