Every now and then, cleaning the house turns into a mini time-travel session. You lift an old box and boom: there’s a chunky DVD player or a dusty flip phone staring back at you. It’s oddly comforting and hilarious to realize how quickly our everyday stuff can turn into antiques. But today, we’re not just talking about yesterday’s tech. We’re diving deeper, into the kind of old-school that feels like another lifetime.
We’ve rounded up a set of photos that show just how wildly things have changed, both subtly and dramatically. Think furniture from grandma’s living room, phones with actual cords, and designs that scream retro charm. Whether you're here for nostalgia or just curious how things looked before your time, you’re in for a treat.

My mum has two books like that (though they just called them autograph books). One has a damaged cover but otherwise they are still in good condition. I used to love reading them when I was young. One started with "By hook or by crook, I'm the first in this book", which someone wrote above "By hill or by quill, I'll be damned if you will". When I was in school we also had books we would pass around, but each person wrote their bio and other notes in it instead.

I dunno, but suspect some of those knobs have been changed over the years. Like houses today, knobs normally matched in old houses. Not saying they aren't old, or that they aren't age-appropriate for the house, just that it would be unusual to have various knobs all over.
Unicorn Handstand 6 months ago
The doorknob for my bedroom doesn't match the one for my sister's room or my parents' room. I once (incorrectly) thought maybe it was bc of what happened after we'd been in the house for about a week....I was 1 and a half, and I locked myself in my room. I wasn't panicking or anything, ig I thought it was a game. My parents tried to coax me to open the door, but I kept laughing. Ended with my dad taking apart the doorknob FROM THE OUTSIDE and doing that thing where it can't lock. They were planning on doing that to the lock anyway, they just did it a lot earlier than they thought 🤣

It's also not a 1962 model television, either. It's about a 1950 Zenith 'Giant Circle Screen' give or take a year or so... that is why it reflects so much light since the non reflective screens didn't come in until about ten years later.

Just look at airplanes: they’ve gone from bulky, noisy machines to sleek engineering marvels that feel more like flying lounges.
Even the way we cook and clean has evolved with touch panels and automation. It’s wild how different life feels compared to just a few decades ago. And that’s exactly what makes these throwbacks so delightful.

They don't have rotary dials. You would pick the phone up and that would send a signal to connect you to a live operator who would then use a switchboard to connect you to the number you were trying to call. I suppose they could receive incoming calls but to dial out they work on a pulse line so you'd have to have an old fashioned phoneline that works for pulse dialing rather than rotary or touchscreen. I think if you really wanted to make one work again you could but you would have to make adjustments. We have one that's not connected, it's just for decoration.

TV and newspapers once ruled our homes. People would gather to watch the 7 p.m. news and debate stories over dinner. You’d wait until morning to read headlines in print. Now, breaking news hits your phone while you’re still in bed. Social media delivers content faster than any anchor ever could. Back then, information felt slower but somehow more focused. Now, we just scroll until we forget what we were looking for.
Phones have changed the most. Remember those old ‘brick phones’? Bulky, heavy, and purely for calls. As the 2000s hit, flip phones and slide-out keyboards became the cool thing. Then smartphones took over, and everything changed. Today’s phones are sleek, powerful, and basically our second brain. You can run a business from your phone or make a movie on it.

"He wants to know if you have a Shell credit card." It was the Kentucky accent that threw them. 😂

When the man felt that the end was near, he married the young woman so she can inherit after him. (It was cheaper/easier than tranferring deeds and such.) So we could at least hope for a moment that this dress marks a similar event, not a compeletely disgusting one.

It was probably her best dress, so entirely appropriate for a wedding. Marrying an old veteran ensured that he had care until he died, and she had security of inheriting his property (and possible an escape from her home). A very good deal for many women at the time.

In spite of being absolute shite at Math, I can answer all the math questions. As an English major, I can make a good stab at the Grammar questions. If I could write out the Spelling, I'd probably pass, but not if I had to spell them out loud. I might pass the Geography and Physiology but just send me back to second grade for Civics and History. A couple questions I'd probable have to guess at the answers--Name the five zones? Climate zones? Geographical zones or regions? Ocean zones? Time zones of continental US and Alaska? Wouldn't it be nice to only have to remember the name of one president who was impeached? I wonder what the criteria was for passing and how many kids were able to pass?

Good point about the criteria for passing. I suspect that it was higher than the 60% or above that is common today. And Bwaah ha ha about having only the one impeached president to have to remember.

This Is An Original Fire Extinguisher, It Was Used To Be Thrown Into A Fire
Upstaged75 6 months ago

CF 6 months ago
Had to go read about this and will share what I found. Glass fire grenades were used from around 1870 to as late as 1950s (end date unclear). A person would either throw the thin walled glass vessel at the base of the fire to allow enough time to escape, or some of them were mounted on a metal bracket above a high risk area with a heat activated mechanism to release.
CF 6 months ago
The first several decades they contained salt water (to prevent freezing) and baking soda or ammonia chloride. Later fire grenades contained carbon tetrachloride (CTC), which itself is a significant carcinogen. When CTC is heated it becomes a gas and expands, displacing oxygen so the fire starves. CTC + fire (especially if moisture in air or water used on fire) can also form phosgene, a toxic gas used as "choking" chemical warfare in WWI. My understanding is that symptoms (difficulty breathing due to pulmonary edema) first appear anywhere from 1-2 hours after exposure, depending on concentration/duration of gas exposure. Can absolutely be fatal. Summarized from numerous sources.

This is also about the time that full day Kindergarten began as well.
