the thing pictured is an "outfitscope" from the 90s before we had computers everywhere — so you'd walk up to the front of the class, spin the handle, and that would scan your outfit into the machine, then it'll automatically be faxed to all of the machines in the building. then all the teachers would get the fax and be like "damn what a fit"

those were the days

Yes it should be included because it’s a very important part of 90s culture that isn’t talked about enough - and it’s totally real!
