The Patsy n' Crinkles lore is quite ambiguous as the creator had never confirmed the exact date where the settings took place.
Though according to RoboticDreamz, it was set in a timeline where technology stopped improving by the late 90s and that these trends never fell out of fashion, causing the eras to amalgamate.
But despite the amalgamations, shrinkflation and skimpflation still exist within the lore as modern replicas tend to be produced in lower qualities and foods get smaller compared to the ones from 10 years ago.

SETTINGS
The settings took place in the fictional city of Old Dots, which was part of an unnamed country simply called The Country. The city is modeled after New York, albeit more futuristic when it comes to the skyscrapers.
At Old Dots, fashion trends and technology stopped evolving in the late 90s. Because of this, seemingly modern trends still looked retro as most companies refuse to upgrade their technology. According to Owen Silver, the founder of Avolier Technologies, he stated:
"Why should we change something that isn't broken?"
Some companies had adapted modern technology such as touch screen phones, but they weren't a huge hit. In fact most touch screen phones are reported to be either faulty or low quality.

CURRENCY
Old Dots use Country Dollars (TCD). Smaller values of coins are referred as cents.
The currency is modeled after the Philippine peso and has the same value of the said currency.

CULTURE
LANGUAGES
Old Dotters speak both Filipino and English. They also have a distinct Old Dot accent, which is based on the New York accent in real life.

FASHION
Most people would often expect that Old Dotters would wear highly futuristic fashion as their city is often advertised as "The Future".
In reality, most citizens would wear ordinary clothes like t-shirts and hoodies. Sometimes people would still style their hair as if it were the 80s and early 90s. Business suits still follow the old 80s styles.
For teenagers, they still wear styles of the 90s and early 2000s.

THE INTERNET
The only modern thing in Old Dots is that everyone is pretty much up-to-date to the internet now. One of the most popular social medias in the internet are FriendsChat and Evening.
Forums are also still popular and relevant. Most people would go to Long☆Stars to discuss their favorite things.
