The easiest way for us to get a glimpse into the good old days is to open up our family's photo album. But what if we go through the images and instead of calming down our curiosity, they only fuel it? Easy. We open up the subreddit r/TheWayWeWere next.

It's a place where folks share pictures from 50, 100, and even more years ago to show what everyday life looked like in the past. Featuring old photos, scanned documents, articles, and personal anecdotes, this subreddit has become one of the biggest vintage archives online.

Continue scrolling and check out why 528K people subscribe to r/TheWayWeWere.

Good for her! It's only recently I started seeing more female drivers in my local city's bus fleet. It's been nearly 50 years since this photo, and we're *almost* at gender parity in transit drivers in my city.

Why do we need gender parity, though? Perhaps fewer women are interested in being professional drivers? If that's the case, parity would be artificial.

    The last 100 years have produced profound changes in human history.

    Wars, technological developments, progress in civil rights, and breakthroughs in science and medicine, the old world has been swept away. Whether it's for better or worse.

    Centuries-old empires crumbled as new ideologies – like communism and fascism – took over in many parts of the world. Wars in the early part of the 20th century put an end to the colonial world and gave birth to new nations. However, these wars also cost millions of lives and trillions of dollars.

    Throughout the past century, technological innovations have transformed our lives in ways we never dreamed of. Progressive ideas emerged and changed the world as women, African Americans, and the LGBTQ community demanded, and often won, equal rights; from the ratification of the 19th Amendment in the United States to the legalization of same-sex marriage in many countries. But recent civil rights conflicts tell us the fight for equality is not over.

    Story Time! My stepdad's mother, who is around 97ish right now, she's also from New York. She told me how she started wearing jeans as soon as she could, she loved them. She answered the door for her first date with some guy wearing jeans. He said he'd wait while she went to change, she said change what? He said you're not going out with me looking like that, so she told him, you're right, I'm not going out with you and shut the door on him. That was a huge deal back then, and I can see her doing something like this, she could actually be in this picture for all I know.

    To this day, the word "joto" (something like "J's") is slang for homosexual in Mexico. Although used as an homophobic slur, gay men took the word to define themselves, as a matter of pride. This is because homosexuals in Mexico City were locked at the Lecumberri Prison, section J.

    That time was so difficult. 4 years. Imagine not knowing if your spouse is dead or alive for 4 years! And they were lucky. Others were told their spouses died and got on with their life only to discover the truth some years later. So many poor men got home after being imprisoned for years only to discover their families are not their own anymore.

    That's a prefab house of the sort that was built by German and Italian POWs in 1945-46 to house people whose homes were destroyed during the Blitz. Built with timber construction and tin roofs, they were expected to last a decade or so but almost 80 years later some still stand. Thousands were built but less than 200 still exist and some are still occupied by their original residents. Some have been given Class II Listing status as historically significant. article-10...b9cf1f.jpg article-1061037-02C77F2400000578-55_468x348-6121d99b9cf1f.jpg

    When I was 30, many years ago, I had a girlfriend from Korea of exactly the same age. She could drink like a Russian truck driver, but looked so young that she had to show her Passboard each time she wanted to buy alcohol. Friends of mine asked me if our relationship were on the legal side. We two had a few great years before she had to move back to look after mother. Wherever you are, all best.

It's not late yet don't give up. Even if it would be for the one time you could drink together again for old times sake. :-) I wish you the very best, whatever way you decide to take. :-)

    A few years back, maybe more like 10-15, I remember reading a case here in the U.S. Two small children, a 7 year old boy and a 5 year old girl, were playing around the inground pool at their apartment complex. The girl fell into the dirty water. (It was winter and the pool was unkempt.). The boy went in after her. The girl would later tell authorities that she couldn't see anything under the water but she could feel her friend pushing her up toward the ladder. She was able to grab on and climb out, but the boy never made it. I still occasionally think about that little boy who was drowning himself but consciously worked to save his friend.

    Besides the obvious that he is a black man and she a white woman in the 1900s, when this required a lot of guts, I love the fact he's wearing puttees as part of civilian dress. This was pretty common before WW1. After the war... not so much.

    Ok everybody , y'all are overlooking the fact that this is a sepia toned black & white photo. Add to the that it's clearly high contrast from what looks like a sunny day & that the photo is over 100 years old, it's no surprise that one or both of the subjects' skin tone looks darker than it probably actually was. So, unless the person who posted this photo responds telling us all the ethnic backgrounds of these two, we may never know.

    OP on Reddit says "He is her brother. Other photos show that this is just an exposure issue as he is in shadow." "My wife's great aunt and uncle, from the Freeport, Illinois area, playing around. They had a family friend who was a professional photographer and, as a result, and many informal photos of the family at play."

    If child labour laws had been introduced sooner then many of the kids would've had a better childhood, or even a childhood in the first place.

    This photo, called "Burst of Joy" won a Pulitzer prize. It has an unhappy ending though. According to Wikipedia "Despite outward appearances, the reunion was an unhappy one for Stirm. Three days before he arrived in the United States, the same day he was released from captivity, Stirm received a Dear John letter from his wife Loretta informing him that their marriage was over. Stirm later learned that Loretta had been with other men throughout his captivity, receiving marriage proposals from three of them. In 1974, the Stirms divorced and Loretta remarried, but Lieutenant Colonel Stirm was still ordered by the courts to provide her with 43% of his military retirement pay once he retired from the Air Force. Stirm was later promoted to full Colonel and retired from the Air Force in 1977."

    Interesting the perspective of those defending the wife. In the five years of her husbands captivity while he endured gunshot wounds, torture, starvation and despair in a POW prison camps, his wife Lorrie Stirm slept with so many men that 3 of them proposed to her? Think about that. Anybody defending this histrionic woman exposes there own lack of moral being.

    ever since in 1919 the NYPD brought on female officers for undercover work, especially with the Vice squad, other police departments copied because there were a lot of situations where a female officer went undercover without any suspicion, and a male officer undercover with a female one didnt around suspicon as well. These are not street uniform officers

    They are. High waisted swim skirts are totally a thing right now. "A" giant internet retailer has dozens of options for sale, as do many other places that sell swim suits. This is basically what my current swim suit looks like, although I generally wear a rash guard as well. Full coverage, no sunburn "mom" suit.

    The suits are beautiful, but if you had to wear them... smelled like rubber, were thick and hot, like puckered neoprene with cotton underneath. My mom worked in a swimsuit shop in the 60's. So glad the fabrics have lightened up!

    Ektachrome slide film! That stuff was pretty amazing, 35mm slides shot with it look as good today as they did when first developed because the colors simply don't fade. edit: the Philco Model 46 radio dates this to 1946 or later.

    This is a very famous photograph and has been well researched. The class divide is actually far less than one might imagine... the 'poor' boys are actually of the lower middle class, while the 'rich' boys are only really upper middle class. They are dressed very formally (full Eton dress uniform) because they had been attending a cricket game at lords. The three boys on the right had reasonably long and happy lives; the two rich boys both died young in tragic circumstances.. Story here -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toffs_and_Toughs

    Recommended watch, the Up Series documentaries from Britain. The series starts in the 1960s with 7 Up, where a group of seven year olds from different class groups are interviewed and hang out together. Then every 7 years the documentarian would come back and show how their lives have changed. The last part of the series so far is 63 Up!https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_(film_series)

    The Harrovians were Peter Wagner and Thomas Norwood Armitage "Tim" Dyson, who had arranged to be at Grace Gates at 2 pm, where Wagner's father would pick them up and drive them to Russ Hill, the Wagners’ country home in Surrey, for the weekend.The other three boys were George Salmon, Jack Catlin, and George Young, 13-year-old pupils at the local Church of England school. They had visited the dentist that morning and decided to skip school to earn money at Lord's by carrying luggage and returning hired cushions for the deposit. The photographer, Jimmy Sime, worked for the Central Press Agency; Sime took several shots of the five boys outside Grace Gates.Ian Jack speculates that Sime solicited the cooperation of the three "toughs", but not that of the two "toffs". Peter Wagner studied natural sciences at Peterhouse, Cambridge. In 1943, he was commissioned as a lieutenant in the Royal Corps of Signals. However, he suffered from pericarditis and never saw active service during the Second World War. After being discharged from the army in 1945, he entered the family stockbroking firm, married, and had three daughters; he became mentally unstable in the 1970s and died in Hellingly Hospital in 1984. Tim Dyson died of diphtheria 13 months after the photograph was taken, in August 1938. This was shortly after travelling to join his parents in Trimulgherry, British India, where his father, Lt.-Col. George St. John Armitage Dyson, was serving as an army officer. George Dyson died in 1942 in a Japanese prisoner of war camp in Korea. During the Second World War, George Salmon served as an anti-aircraft gunner on board HMS Duckworth. After the war, he worked for Rightons Limited, a metal supplier. He was married in 1998 and was still residing in Marylebone when he died in 2000. Jack Catlin's family moved to Rickmansworth soon after 1937; in 2010 he was widowed, remarried and living in Weymouth. Jack Catlin died in January 2011 at the age of 85, survived by his wife Sheila, his son, daughter, and grandchildren. George Young was also married in 1998.Young had a flat in The Barbican.

    Practical digital photography required the maturation of so many different technologies. Charge coupled device image sensor development always outpaced storage and image processing technologies. Until the 2000s, storage was the most expensive part of any digital system.

    too bad it was 6 years too late From wikipedia: The Cromemco Cyclops, introduced in 1975 by Cromemco, was the first commercial all-digital camera using a digital metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) image sensor.[1] It was also the first digital camera to be interfaced to a microcomputer. The digital sensor for the camera was a modified 1 kb dynamic RAM (DRAM) memory chip that offered a resolution of 32 × 32 pixels (0.001 megapixels).[1]

    One of the problems with the pandemic back then (oh, and it was called the Spanish Flu as Spain were the first country to report about it, as they were not at war. It actually originated from a duck farmer in Kansas and he took it to Army Training Camps on the East Coast a d then on to France) was that they didn't know what a virus was, as they were unable to see anything that small as they didn't have powerful miss row open. A lot of the patients in the UK were prescribed Opium to try and help ease their pain. But they had no idea what was happening.

    My dad has the Danish equivalent of the last one, which his parents had saved; I didn't know until two years ago, when I was helping him sort through his things before a move. My jaw dropped, and I hardly dared touch the paper at first. Handling it, reading some of it, felt almost unreal. ... I've saved a couple of local papers from when my part of Copenhagen went into lockdown in 2020. They don't exactly have an epic quality about them, but I still found them worth saving. I wonder if anyone will appreciate them at some point in the distant future. Probably not.

    "Major US events" to remind them of the "collective human experience". Cause clearly the US are the pinnacle of everything, if not everything itself. Typical.

    From what I've read, it really hurt the girls to have their hair done, it was waxed using a hot iron and pulled up tight into a top knot (some even ended up with bald spots), so they'd only get it done about once a week.

I felt terrible he had to get rid of it because of me. I later found out the real reason. He had a blow out that threw him in the path of an oncoming big rig. His near miss scared him into selling his bike. The little fibber.

    The problem is that schools don't teach properly any more, it was Reading, writing, and arithmetic, the 3 R's and they were taught every day, other lessons were slotted in around them, I taught myself to read (before school age ) with the Radio Times, (and help from mum ) and could write my Name & Address too, a lot of kids nowadays are lucky if they can do that when they leave school.

    Possibly. Hard to tell. If not, it was an affluent family - and they probably were. Look at the hair style, clothing, and jewelry on the daughter. The hair was done by a professional or a maid. Brocade fabric was imported and very expensive, and she's wearing pearls set in gold. This is a young lady positioned to marry well.

    Airports still had both, well into the 1980s. The TVs were coin operated, and charged 25 cents for 15 minutes (almost a buck, according to the inflation calculator, or nearly four dollars an hour—-if you had a long layover, a two hour movie would cost almost eight bucks).

    4 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    Historically lumber was sold in random widths (and largely random lengths, thus the stick-out) but nominal thickness. The peculiar stacking allows air circulation so the lumber dries evenly and doesn't split at the ends. Pre-drying is essential for lumber destined for kiln-drying.

    Even into the early 1990s, A/C wasn’t standard in anything but higher end car models. I found this out when shopping for an economical car back then. If you bought anything fancier than a Ford Escort, for example, you got A/C included in the price. You had to pay extra for it if you bought the Escort. Later on it became standard equipment on all cars—-thank goodness, because it gets unbearably hot and humid in summer where I live!

    Unlike many civilised countries, who by then were realising and instituting universal FREE healthcare for everyone .... Oh, and guess what, those services, many of which are world class, are still going today, and still cost NOTHING !!! When will the public in the USA get angry and demand that there should be root and branch reform to the healthcare system - sadly, the pharmacy companies, lobbyists and the Republicans who have their snouts in the trough will always block any sort of reform if it benefits the majority Americans who can't pay to be well and pain free....

    The older man's thinking: I'm outta here. These kids are making me nervous. I lost my wife 3 hours ago.

    We would always eat at their cafeteria when we went. Mom would order a smoked tongue sammich, sliced paper thin.

    My grandmother would take me all the time as well, it was good food and was cheap. Sometimes we'd have the meat and 3 and others we'd get the 4pk ham and cheese sub sandwiches for about a dollar and take them home with a large popcorn. It's good memories 😌
