The static on old CRT TVs with rabbit ears was the cosmic microwave background. No one in the last 25 years has ever seen it.

    Well to be fair at some point most/all CRTs showed a blue screen instead of static. So it’s possible someone born in 2000 never saw the snowy display.

      As someone born in 2000, I’ve personally seen it and I think most people around me did. Maybe someone didn’t, though.
