👉 The "postcards fumes" phenomenon refers to a peculiar and often humorous internet meme that describes the overwhelming, nostalgic, and sometimes absurd emotions people feel after receiving an endless stream of postcards, especially from unknown or quirky senders. These postcards can evoke memories of past mailings, personal letters, or even strange, one-of-a-kind designs, triggering a mix of joy, curiosity, and sometimes a touch of the surreal. The term "fumes" captures the intense, almost intoxicating quality of these feelings, suggesting they linger long after the postcards are opened, blending the past with the present in a delightful, if slightly whimsical, way.
