“Fear Of Old Things When They Were New”: 30 Interesting Vintage Newspaper Clippings

I would love to see a Olympic athlete wearing this :D

I never get why people are against skateboarding. It's a healthy activity that people enjoy.

🎶Summer's here and the time is right for fencing in the street🎵

Baseball is not a crime, but if you start hitting fungos at my house it is. This comes from a time of tresspassing and property dedtruction not completely gone. It is just like graffiti.

Is skateboarding a crime?

It's astonishing how ignorant, misogynistic, and prejudicial mindsets persist over centuries despite all verifiable proof. The fact that flat earthers and anti-vaxxers are still a thing just blows my mind.

It's a grand American tradition!! 1633 - Boston had a smallpox epidemic- death galore. A doctor offering a primitive version of vaccination, aka "variolation" - had a bomb thrown through his home window. History is a blast.

It’s all about the human psyche. There will always be individuals with paranoid tendencies in their personality. Sadly, they will always be vulnerable to claims about people in high places having sinister hidden motives, and “them” wanting to somehow harm “us”. It’s one of the biggest misconceptions about humans; that we are rational creatures. We aren’t. We are *capable* of rationality *if* we choose to, but many choose to make decisions partially or completely based upon how something makes us feel, and that’s where things wrong. (Same applies to politics: many people vote for somebody that makes them feel a certain way -Hitler, Trump- instead of voting for rational reasons.)

I think the biggest issue is with the compulsory part.

To those who are still complaining about anti vaxxers....there's a news clip explaining how Dr Fauci and the CDC made some s**t up about covid,how the vaccines was a lie and that people would just naturally become immune to the covid,about how wearing masks wouldn't make a difference....don't blame everything on those who are smart enough to not trust the government about everything....also the "covid" aka coronvirus has been on the back of lysol cans for years before the government announced "a new disease emerged from Wuhan China" coronvirus is just a flu.....do your research

Well, video killed the radio star.

Gee, you could listen to the news on radio instead of buying a newspaper. Any effect on those stories, you think?

Texting has had a huge positive AND negative impact on deaf/HOH communities. Text on cellphones means deaf/HOH people don't need TTDs at home anymore and can communicate with hearing people, but it also means deaf/HOH don't practice signing as much anymore, some people are losing fluency.

Dang Alastor. Now I see why you’re the radio demon. (Hazbin Hotel reference)

Large blue splotches....

Scamps

What bounders and cads are they?

Nefarious business, yes, but...man, I wanna form a gang with some other scamps. Why, we might even have a couple of scoundrels, and a poltroon!

100% the same with digital watches. Invented in Switzerland. Not adopted- entire market captured by Japan. Cupidity is the mother of ... morons.

To be fair, early digital cameras did not hold a candle to modern ones. My Nikon DSLR takes better photos than the Canon 35mm I carried around the world back in the 80s. But most of the early digital cameras produced very low quality photos compared to either one.

I was working in the modeling industry during the crossover. Boy was it difficult for my photographers to switch from film to digital. Once they did, they loved it.

If not for writing, he would have been forgotten.

That seems a tad ironic given the only reason we remember what he said is because some folks wrote it down and we can read it.

Remembering is great and all but it doesn't help with documenting history. We wouldn't know nearly about earlier time periods without writing. Plus, writing was around during Plato's time period, I think he was just talking about the average person writing things down

This comment has been deleted.

Never believe something until the Kremlin (or their mouthpieces) deny it.

And all because he made a mistake by reading the announcement about less restricted travel on live-TV

Actually, the earlier article was misinterpreted to imply the later event. They couldn't/wouldn't stop the fall.

Actually, studies have found women work harder today than their grandmothers thanks to modern gadgets. For example, when you had to take your carpets outside to beat them clean, you usually only had one or 2 nice carpets for your best rooms. Vacuum cleaner? Wall to wall carpeting! Hand wash clothes, less clothing. Washing machine? Baskets of clothes. Also, easy care synthetic clothing contributed to the fast fashion laundry boom. Basically, the bar for women has always been raised as soon as new gadgets comes along
