At no point in my HS history class did our teacher mention that she was alive and living a few hours away from us.

[โ€“] Viking_Hippie 25 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

To be fair, I'd say teaching you guys should be proof enough of her non-corpse status that she didn't have to tell you outright ๐Ÿคท

Cleopatra lived closer to the moon landing than the construction of the great pyramids in Egypt.

[โ€“] Shapillon 24 points 6 days ago (1 children)

And the tyrannosaurus rex lived closer to said moon landing than to time the stegosaurus existed too.

Jurassic Park was one lie after another.

[โ€“] GladiusB 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It is a movie. Not a documentary.

[โ€“] Shapillon 2 points 6 days ago

It was tongue in cheek.

I genuinely love that movie.

Imagine if we still had racism in the distant futuristic year of 2000 ...

The Doritos Locos taco at Taco Bell has been around longer than the Confederate States of America ever was.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

Buuut, the Confederacy lasted twice as long as Pepsi Crystal.

[โ€“] Snowclone 3 points 6 days ago

Most things fit that description. I have tires on my truck that fit that description.

[โ€“] TheLowestStone 23 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Which means that Shrek could have been Rosa Parks's favorite movie of all time.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I just want to know what her favorite Pokemon was

[โ€“] Snowclone 2 points 6 days ago

Please. It's was clearly diglet.

'Member that song "74-75" by The Connells? That was a big hit in the Nineties.
We're now at 31 years after the release of this single and 49 years after the class of 1975 graduated.

From 1843 to 1865, Abraham Lincoln could have sent a fax to a samurai.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Did Japan have any fax lines though? Unless you're talking about a samurai that left Japan

[โ€“] Snowclone 2 points 6 days ago

He was visiting the US

[โ€“] TankovayaDiviziya 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It was brought up in the movie, "Lincoln", that the "Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection" by Charles Darwin was already published at the height of the US Civil War. Somehow, I disassociate the two events as being on completely different time period.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Lincoln and Darwin were born in the same year, 1809.

And to really blow your mind: Charles Dickens was born 3 years later, and not, say, a hundred years before.

If you were born in 1976 or earlier, your birthday is closer to the production of the Ford Model T than it is to today. Have a nice day :)

[โ€“] simplejack 13 points 6 days ago

I miss horns that went auUUUga

[โ€“] [email protected] 46 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'd kick your arse if my knees weren't fucked

[โ€“] makyo 15 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'd help you except for my back

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'd help you but I'm in the middle of fucking that guy's knees

[โ€“] Snowclone 2 points 6 days ago

Can I watch?

I've posted about this before but Rosa Parks lived long enough to sue OutKast in 1999 over their use of her name in their song 'Rosa Parks'.

[โ€“] Snowclone 3 points 6 days ago

I was around for all of this, and I know this. But it still seems very strange.

That also means, if Anne Frank and MLK, were alive today, they would only be in their 90s.

[โ€“] aeronmelon 26 points 1 week ago (2 children)

95, to be precise. Only two years older than William Shatner.

[โ€“] gedaliyah 11 points 6 days ago

And younger than Jimmy Carter

If only she hadn't bought that drum kit.

I'm an older millennial, born 1984, recently turned 40.

My gramps was born 1909. Not only was he alive during WW2, he was of fighting age. Not only did he fight in WW2, he was actually one of the oldest guys in his unit, seeing as he was over 30 when he got drafted.

WW2 and other first half of the 20th century shit isn't anywhere as far back in time as it feels it is.

I remember my great-grandma talking about picking cotton in the field one day, and being scared out of her mind when an airplane flew over her head. She'd come to Texas from California on a covered wagon, had never lived in a home with electricity, and hadn't heard about the flying machine being invented.

I helped her set up an email account about a year before she died.

[โ€“] nuxi 5 points 6 days ago

You and I were both born closer to WW2 than to today.

[โ€“] [email protected] 35 points 1 week ago (2 children)

What always gets me is Pablo Picasso died in 1973. For some reason I always thought he was around a century or two earlier.
