Imagine where we could be with EVs if they just had continued with this!

and now they try to ban books left and right, oh how they have fallen

They nailed it!

My grandad got knocked down by someone in a bubble car. He sprained his ankle - and the car was a write-off. He wasn't a big man

I slept in teepee for a week in the dead of winter in Colorado some years back. They are amazingly comfortable with a small fire in the middle of the floor hence the opening at the top to let smoke out.

In the Netflix Series called "Snowpiercer", the train looks like this!

Rare photo of The Goodies as children....

Thought it was an early Disney ride.

That coffee better have a lid.

Is it a bird, is it a plane? No, it's a train. P.S. - the Kmp is correct. Mph should be 143 as BP poster General Anaestgesia specifies.

As long as they're empty...

Mom still does this to me! I'm 44.

The woman with the dog is giving me Tony-Curtis-in-Some-Like-It-Hot vibes.

I hope more than two horses!

Planes, trains, and automobiles.

This was a press photo of one of their last plane models they made (before being bought out by another airline) - the Short Empire aka Flying Boat. With features like a couple of sleeping berths, adjustable leather seats, cigar lounge, champagne of course, etc. These ran passenger service from Southampton England to Cape Town South Africa, with stops in France, Italy, Greece, Sudan, Uganda, and several others. Which took about 6 days ish with 5 overnight stops. A year later they would expand to go from England to Australia. Those took about 10 days, with 9 overnight stops. Cost of the flight from England to Australia was equivalent to about $20,000 give or take. Which was a steal considering other planes/routes cost upwards $40k and didn't have lounges.

I had a Moris Minor which could be started with a hand crank.

It was closed and went out of fashion as a ride style over safety concerns, but if properly done it's not even that dangerous, no more than a rollercoaster. The cars are retained to a rail (visible in the photo), and the passengers have seatbelts. There is no risk of collision and the speed is moderate, barely 50 km/h. The accidents happened due to shoddy installation -the embankment built for leveling the ground failed- and from lack of surveillance (passengers not fastening the belts). All of these could be prevented my modern safety mechanisms.

What could possibly go wrong

As they say in Belfast, "she was fine when she left here!"

I'm really enjoying the design of the lamposts!

Uh, where's the door?

Not much room for their catch.

Where does he think he's going even if he gets in

Hello, Neumann

Aaaaaaand, that a NOPE from me.

Should we first address Dad driving it into the house?

But does it stop in Hootersville, darling?

Finally, an accurate photo of aircraft interiors from that era. Most of what you see these days are not actually taken inside an airplane but were promotional photos on a specially-designed soundstage of sorts. That's why they always looked like they had space for days. (I mean, they did have more space than today's flights, but not quite as crazy as is often depicted.)

If you put in a coin, you get a Psepsi cola.

Imagine getting to the top, then thinking, "Bűgger, where's me paint brush?"

The Austin 7 was nicknamed "The Chummy" because it was so small, passengers were squeezed together.

Imagine the marketing / publicity bump you get by being the only full color vehicle in the city! /J

That's a big barge to be on the Chicago River right there at that bend,

The (electric? I genuinely don't have a clue) cables overhead 😲

At first I tought it was pinguins in the background.

Now we know what really sank the Titanic.

Number plate looks sketch.

Bet you she's thinking, "What have the Roman's ever done for us?".

Everyone appears well dressed.

I still love Times Square!

So much foot and elbow space.

This has become a very trendy area. One of these terrace houses will set you back about £1.8 million.

I don't see any manspreading

It looks like they had more leg room though...

Ford Tri-Motor plane?

Did they smoke? Were they Camels?
