What is something you saw as a child that is lost now?

There was this youtube channel I loved back then, called fried chili cheese dogs, they had this one video in 2018 called "ice cream!" I vividly remeber watching the first minute of it or so, sadly theres no re uploads of it anywhere

There were some YouTube videos I saw when I was younger (from the mid 2000s to the late 2000s/early 2010s) but appears to have been scrubbed online in the years since. I'll talk about only three videos that stick out to me:

- A Sonic the Hedgehog MS Paint video where Sonic goes on a date with someone and goes crazy when the waiter offers him onion rings (I remember him talking about how the onion rings can turn him into Super Sonic). While Sonic eats the onion rings, the police were called in to stop him, only for Sonic to defeat them (I remember a bystander jokingly asks Sonic to sing "Mary Had a Little Lamb", which Sonic did, followed by him defeating the police officers). The final scene is a wanted poster of Sonic that Knuckles and Tails stare at in a bewildered manner.

- A video that I'm pretty sure had a Spanish title (but I don't know what it is). I only saw the first couple of seconds of it before exiting out of Internet Explorer because I was scared of it. The only part I saw was a creepy shadowed figure chuckling to itself as it followed a guy walking alone at night (the setting looked country-like, if I remember correctly). Video quality looked grainy. Might have been a short film, a commercial, or a PSA.

- There was another Sonic the Hedgehog video that was essentially a slideshow of scenery from the first Sonic game (I believe), with sprites of various Sonic characters placed over them (I think a couple of them might have been fan characters; two of them were grey rabbit twins named Anna and Kat, I think). The characters' dialogue was written in MS video editor text and was color-coded for each character (IIRC, Super Amy had yellow text and Anna's and Kat's text were cyan). The plot revolved around the cast trying to stop Super Amy and Dr. Robotnik. The video was a multi-part video (I don't remember how many parts there were in total, maybe 4 or 5?).
I think the creator had a similar video that followed the same plot, except the cast had been reduced while having new additions (the only one I remember was Sonia from Sonic Underground) and I think they are only facing Super Amy this time around. The cast had a more direct confrontation with her than in the last video, since I remember them hitting her with lasers before angrily scolding her of her antagonism once she was defeated and brought down to normal.
If I remember correctly, the creator's channel name might have been "GeneralToad" and their videos opened up with "A GeneralToad Productions" over an edited picture of Shadow the Hedgehog on a Green Hill Zone background.

don't laugh at me : )

but i used to have a fanmade music video of Winx Club
starring the character of Bloom, it had footage of season 1
and the song used was Kelly Clarkson - Breakaway.

also had a DBZ fanmade music video with Vegeta footage
that used the song Linkin Park - In The End
with footage of Vegeta fighting in general,
including him sacrificing himself to blow Buu up.

i never archived them, and they are now lost forever.

Honestly probably lots of MMOs. Nicktropolis & Petpet Park have articles about them, but I remember playing McDonald's MMO & Monkey Quest too. I miss MMOs so much I could cry, nowadays if there's a corporate game it just gets dumped on Roblox.

look at all the threads i made in unidentified media lmao they're all there.

A Krabby Patty.

I'm not kidding. Any California kids from the 2000s can chime in?

I remember that California's Great America in Santa Clara (right next to San Jose and right next to what would be Levi's Stadium) circa 2005 had a menu item at a restaurant titled a "SpongeBob Inspired Hamburger". It was not the Krabby Patty technically speaking, but the menu item was meant to hint at it. I ordered it and I remembered liking it, and I'm surprised no one in the SpongeBob fanbase remembers this, meaning this must have been a very localized thing.

It's not lost media but something I've always remembered. I remember it so vividly that it could not have been a false memory.

I used to watch a lot of TV as a kid, mainly Minimax, Disney Channel, Boomerang and other channels like that, and sadly most of the Romanian dubs of the shows from these channels are lost. Excluding dubs from shows that aired on Disney or Cartoon Network since you can still find some of the dubs on streaming services (Disney+, HBO MAX, etc) most of them only exist in the minds of other children that grew up in that era, promos or maybe even some obscure youtube playlists. I'm specifically sad about obscure kids shows that I used to watch but got lost in time, like I'm over here with another tab opened on a wiki fandom page about unknown Romanian dubs and it's making me sad cause I recognize a bunch of these titles and I do remember sitting in my grandparent's living room, on the couch or on the carpet and watching these shows either while eating, drawing, watching them with my grandparents, my brother, with a friend or two or all alone.

And it's even worse cause most people here don't even know what lost media is, I remember someone on reddit asked if any Romanian lost media exists and everyone was confused
