“Library Of The Bizarre”: 50 Incredible And Rare Historical Photos That Explore Moments That Happened In The Past
Since anyone could (and still can) say anything on the internet, people began challenging unbelievable and outlandish online claims with the phrase "pics or it didn't happen," shutting down many ridiculous discussions before they even begin.
But real life can be hard to comprehend, too. Especially if we're talking about long gone days. So in an attempt to forestall all the doubts and cut right to the chase, the Instagram account 'Library Of The Bizarre' shares images from the past first, and provides captions for them later.
People behind the account describe it as a "curated collection of the curious history of yonder years." And they're right on the money with those words.

You're absolutely right. People think these words will lessen the impact of death and lives lost. "Passed away" or "Passed on" rather than than "killed" or "died." It softens the blow, so people don't feel so guilty.

It's still around. I was in a city just north of the Mason-Dixon line in a grocery store. They city is well known for it's racism. I was in one of the large chain grocery stores. I lined up behind an elderly black man at the cashier. The clerk told me to cut in front of him. "He doesn't matter" enraged me. I yelled at her & I politely helped the old, nearly blind guy to check out. I have too much of that sort of hate in my dad's side of the family. I'm glad he taught us differently.

Scrolling through these pictures might seem inconsequential. After all, these moments (and even many of these people) have already disappeared in time.

Load More Replies..."There are many ways to discuss the real functions of the subject—as there are many different historical talents and many different paths to historical meaning," Stearns wrote. "All definitions of history's utility, however, rely on two fundamental facts."
Firstly, history offers a warehouse of information about how people and societies behave. "Understanding the operations of people and societies is difficult, though a number of disciplines make the attempt. An exclusive reliance on current data would needlessly handicap our efforts. How can we evaluate war if the nation is at peace—unless we use historical materials?" Stearns asked. "How can we understand genius, the influence of technological innovation, or the role that beliefs play in shaping family life, if we don't use what we know about experiences in the past?"

According to the historian, some social scientists attempt to formulate laws or theories about human behavior, "but even these recourses depend on historical information, except for in limited, often artificial cases in which experiments can be devised to determine how people act."
"Major aspects of a society's operation, like mass elections, missionary activities, or military alliances, cannot be set up as precise experiments," he highlighted. "Consequently, history must serve, however imperfectly, as our laboratory, and data from the past must serve as our most vital evidence in the unavoidable quest to figure out why our complex species behaves as it does in societal settings. This, fundamentally, is why we cannot stay away from history: it offers the only extensive evidential base for the contemplation and analysis of how societies function, and people need to have some sense of how societies function simply to run their own lives."

From https://www.bygonely.com/public-library-of-cincinnati-demolished/ : "There were several reasons behind the demolition of this magnificent library. The books were stacked beyond the reach due to a lack of space. The ventilation system was failing, water leaks, the paint was peeling, and some walls were cracked. The building was also had safety issues that were too costly to fix. Eventually, these conditions would make the place unbearable. The management decided to move the library to another place."

The second reason why history is inescapable, Stearns said, is that the past causes the present, and consequently the future. "Any time we try to know why something happened—whether a shift in political party dominance in the American Congress, a major change in the teenage suicide rate, or a war in the Balkans or the Middle East—we have to look for factors that took shape earlier."
"Sometimes fairly recent history will suffice to explain a major development, but often we need to look further back to identify the causes of change. Only through studying history can we grasp how things change; only through history can we begin to comprehend the factors that cause change; and only through history can we understand what elements of an institution or a society persist despite change."

Stearn thinks that these two fundamental reasons for studying history underlie more specific and quite diverse uses of history in our own lives. "History well told is beautiful," he said. "Many of the historians who most appeal to the general reading public know the importance of dramatic and skillful writing—as well as of accuracy."
"Biography and military history appeal in part because of the tales they contain. History as art and entertainment serves a real purpose, on aesthetic grounds but also on the level of human understanding. Stories well done are stories that reveal how people and societies have actually functioned, and they prompt thoughts about the human experience in other times and places."

The historian believes that the same aesthetic and humanistic goals inspire people to immerse themselves in efforts to reconstruct quite remote pasts, far removed from immediate, present-day utility. "Exploring what historians sometimes call the "pastness of the past"—the ways people in distant ages constructed their lives—involves a sense of beauty and excitement, and ultimately another perspective on human life and society," Stearns explained.

So are we still studying history? Sadly, the number of students earning degrees in the field fell after the Great Recession of 2008, and while the decline became a bit more gradual before the pandemic (especially when including double majors), it has continued to slip.

History shows again and again, how Nature points out the Folly of Men.
But at least the decline slowed significantly from 2018 to 2019 (down by just 140 bachelor’s degrees awarded). While a further decline is hardly something to be excited about, the contrast with the previous trend is quite notable. From 2012 to 2018, history bachelor’s degrees were falling at an average annual rate of over 7 percent per year, so slowing the descent to less than 1 percent suggests that trends could be in flux.
Who knows, maybe the popularity of online projects like the 'Library Of The Bizarre' (which currently has 147,000 followers) means the figures can even rebound.

It was bad enough, though,, where during the summer children and old people were advised to stay inside a lot of the time.

The organisers have now a regular school and guarantee to teach the Roosevelt smile, the Mona Liza smile, the Clark Gable smile, the D**k Powell smile, the Loretta Young Smile, and various other types, the rates varying according to the difficulties encountered."

I imagine it's a double exposure, the sword man would be at a slower shutter speed than the sitting photo. Hence the faded look?

Sir Richard Owen (Left) Standing Next To A Moa Skeleton And Holding The First Bone Fragment Of A Moa Ever Found
Mary Rogers 3 years ago
Moa's were an extinct form of flightless birds. I was curious to not see any wing bones so I looked up why: "Flightless moa were the only birds in the world to lack any vestige of a wing. They had a small bone called the scapulocoracoid, formed from the fused scapula and coracoid. The junction of these two bones is where the humerus of the wing would have been at an earlier stage in evolution."

First aid workers placed her on another elevator car to transport her to the ground floor, but the cables supporting that elevator had been damaged in the incident, and it fell 75 stories, ending up in the basement.[9] Oliver survived the fall due to the softening cushion of air created by the falling elevator car within this elevator shaft, however she suffered a broken pelvis, back and neck when rescuers found her amongst the rubble.[10] This remains the world record for the longest survived elevator fall" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1945_Empire_State_Building_B-25_crash

Ignore below comment as it's not true. They were anti-spalling masks. Where the lead bullet would hit one of the panels of a tank and send small bits of metal, paint, etc into the crews faces. If enough lead got through to hit you in the face...chainmail isn't helping. Google spalling for more details.

In a last attempt to shake the P-51, the German Luftwaffe pilot flew his plane towards the Eiffel Tower — then beneath it. Overstreet was not about to let the German get away, so he took his P-51 Mustang under the Eiffel Tower as well. He then proceeded to score several more hits on the Bf-109, causing it to crash. He was awarded France's highest military award, the Legion of Honour. Overstreet died on December 29, 2013, at the age of 92. overstreet...89348b.jpg

Why would the elderly need special masks? Are these meant to account for decreased mobility? If so, how? Is it something to do with the eye holes and loss of peripheral vision? Maybe they’re made out of lighter material, which would go back to the mobility thing. I’m curious now.
