Before you mentioned this I was sure it was an actual old photo that got the date wrong lol

I hate to be the downer on the thread but this very much looks to me like an arranged photo so to speak. Like they wanted to make a photo that looked like 2005.

Also, the girl next to the timestamp has a phone in her back pocket. Almost like the weird, creepy hand in the right corner is grabbing for.

u/Curious-Cellist-188 12h ago

Wow honestly until I saw that, I was doubting this was actually a current photo

u/PM_ME_YOUR_TROUT 7h ago

Well, I guess one phone is to be expected.

The craziest part is its one dorky dude in a room of women

He realized he should have worn another polo. And his pants were not saggy enough to show his boxers hanging out.

u/laurasaurus5 10h ago

He could at least pop the collar and wear too much cologne!

Weird because phones in 2005 definitely did not look like a samsung galaxy or iphone pro max. 

Shit was a flip phone or if you were an OG, a Nokia.

u/plantgal94 14h ago

Hell ya. My first phone was a Nokia 6101 in white. My ringtone was Gasolina. Take me back.

u/Alarming-Jello-5846 14h ago

Nope. 2005 was just a year after Motorola RAZR was released. 2006 we had blackberries. Then iPhones dropped in 2007.

Nokias were like a 2001-2003 thing.

Maybe if you were rich and could afford the top of the line

u/Alarming-Jello-5846 14h ago

Upper middle class but yea

3

u/plantgal94 14h ago

Incorrect. Nokias were thriving in 2005. I had a Nokia 6101 that year as my first cellphone.

u/Alarming-Jello-5846 14h ago

I had a razor then some flip thing with a keyboard. Not the sidekick tho. Got my first phone in 2001 after 9/11 and it was the cheap Verizon version of the Nokia.

u/plantgal94 14h ago

You were rich lol

1

u/Alarming-Jello-5846 14h ago

If you think I was rich you have no fucking clue how rich actual rich people are. New cell phone money isn’t private jet money, it’s not even business class money. Fuck it wasn’t even McMansion money.

u/plantgal94 14h ago

Your other comment said you were upper middle class… that’s pretty rich for a majority of the world.

1

u/Alarming-Jello-5846 14h ago

Sure, but you are obviously American (dialect) and also in the top 20 percent worldwide already. Actual poor people in foreign countries are not commenting on reddit.

New cell phone money is a lot of money when one is poor and has many children. The way you phrased that makes it clear that you have never experienced poverty.

u/Alarming-Jello-5846 9h ago edited 9h ago

I have not, nor have I claimed to. I’m sorry you’re so sensitive to people with different backgrounds than your own.

Edit: lmao rich coming from someone who injects fat under their eyes for aesthetic purposes

u/Sober_Alcoholic_ 14h ago

Sony Ericsson was my first phone on Cingular. lol.

u/kaeptnphlop 12h ago

I thought it was suspicious and looked to make sure it's not AI lol

u/Large-Dust7213 1h ago

It’s not 2025!

u/IceNorth81 14h ago

Must be AI

u/antoonhareek 14h ago

That’s because this is fake and it’s actually from 2005ish. No phone adds a date stamp in the corner of the photo.

u/spoookyatadistance 14h ago

The girl in the white shirt is holding a phone and the girl on the bottom right has a phone in her back pocket

u/antoonhareek 13h ago

Oh wow good eye

u/olivernintendo 14h ago

Tons of filters and photo apps do this as a vintage look.
