'Being obsessed with bacon. Or cats. Or narwhals': 20+ things that were socially acceptable in 2010, but weird today

The second decade of a new century is often an odd one. It's a time when people have mostly shaken off the influences of the previous hundred years, but they aren't quite sure how it looks like the next few are going to pan out yet. In fact, they are the literal teen years of a century and boy, can that show in the ungainly and awkward things that get popular during that period.

At this moment, this feels particularly true of those pivotal ten years that came before the TikTokified 2020s. There are many examples of things in the 2010s that felt right in the moment but have been relegated to the cringe hall of fame now. This was the subject of a recent AskReddit where people pondered what was normal in 2010 that may be considered weird now. Prepare for a trip down memory lane, and maybe some unwanted flashbacks.
