35 Future Predictions That Aged So Poorly, They’re Almost Comical

Ouch!

I miss those days.

Hope springs eternal

I think I recall a headline like this back in the day.

Narrator: They did not

That horse looks deranged

They got an impressive 12 members 🤣

Gene $400,000,000. Paul $200,000,000

Study subsidized by American Tobacco.

Way to give up Charles, good thing we weren't all quitters like you!

Werner von Braun: Halt mal mein Bier (The Aggregat 4 "V2" was the first man made rocket do reach space in WW2)

This reminds me of a Little House On The Prairie episode, when Walnut Grove got a telephone line. All calls had to go through the switchboard, that happened to be in the nosey Mrs. Oleson, who ended up using the switchboard lines to eavesdrop on people's phone calls.

New job openings coming soon for MAGAs: requires working long hard days in the sun harvesting our fruit and vegetables for less than minimum wage.

I guess Netflix just wanted to break up with us.

The director told him it was because of his performance as Dr Treves in The Elephant Man. Hopkins said "but Treves is a good man" and was told "yeah, that's what I want for Lector; a good man locked in an insane mind". And boy did it ever pay off.

Wow, what an absolute zero!

Don't regret... the future is uncertain, and bitcoin may well turn out to be a bubble waiting to bursts at some point.

Seems like he is blaming it on rich women not wanting babies and poor women becoming factory workers. Would be nice to think the article is trying to provoke a debate on why women were making these 'choices' but I suspect it's just blaming us.

So, the opposite of Sarah Palin saying "Drill, Baby, Drill!"

With some of 'em, I really don't want to hear them talk.

If she's still around, I want to ask her if her words need more salt.

Top athletic form so he could run away faster?

Edward always reminds me of the King's Speech film. My abusive teacher told us not to bother watching bc we won't understand it. I waited 13 years to do so, secretly scared she was right. Yeah, she wasn't. I doubt she understands it.

Maybe he did come, looked around, and went back alone, shaking his head.
