Photographs can have several functions. We can use photography to capture and communicate emotions. We can also document the present so we can look back on it later and call it ‘past.’ The Internet is full of enthusiasts of the former and the latter.

Here, we are covering an online community called Utterly Unique Photos. They describe themselves as a group that posts photographs “that can sometimes be odd or surreal but are always unique.” We’ve scoured the subreddit and found the most fascinating historical pictures for you to check out. So scroll down and let us know your favorites by upvoting them!

Bored Panda reached out to one of the moderators of this community. The Redditor u/dannydutch1 was kind enough to tell us more about the subreddit and his love for all things music, art, and history. Check out our conversation below!

It's a crime to do that in Germany. They teach it in schools. In the US for that matter are the genocides what they did against the native people even now a not known fact...

Dachau was one of the worst. That was the day the USA realized the absolute horror the NAZIs had inflicted. Now we have Kanye West who doesn't think it happened at all.

And today, anti-semitism is once again growing. This is a huge and separate issue to the Israel- Palestine war. We fear for our safety, all over the world. And I live in Australia, I never thought I'd have to deal with it in my lifetime. And yet, in rallies we hear "f**k the jews", "gas the jews", and other shameful calls.

My dad's father helped liberate one of the concentration camps. My dad told me it affected him badly until he passed away when I was a kid. All I have is a tiny box with a few pictures and a Naz1 patch taken from a ded soldier, from what I understand. It wasn't just the prisoners who were badly affected, the soldiers who liberated the camps saw the unspeakable horrors too.

You know, it was much easier (ans cheaper) to pretend these people had not even existed, than to give the survivorsor their children back their houses, inventory, bank accounts, art and whatever else they might have owned.

The person behind the Utterly Unique Photos community and the username u/dannydutch1 is a Welsh man named Daniel Holland. On social media, he refers to himself as Danny Dutch. You can find him on almost all social media platforms: he shares interesting pictures and facts on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and TikTok.

Utterly Unique Photos is one of three communities that Danny moderates. The other two are r/UtterlyBizarre and u/UtterlyInteresting. In name, they might seem quite similar, but they do differ in content.

The latter is "a home for all those things we see that could be described as interesting," according to the community itself. The latter deals more with the strange and weird things in this world. It's a home "for the strangely interesting or bizarrely surreal."

    Danny tells us the story of how the Utterly Unique Photos group came to be. Or rather, how one subreddit eventually evolved into three. "Initially, I created r/UtterlyBizarre at the end of 2022 to mirror what I was posting on my Twitter channel. But it was pointed out that some of the content I posted was more interesting than bizarre."

    Danny said he didn't think that Reddit users took the subreddit titles so literally. "So I set up r/UtterlyInteresting a month later to share articles and videos that interest me," the Redditor continues.

    "One of my key areas of interest is photography and history, and I felt I was posting quite a lot of this to the r/UtterlyInteresting subreddit, and it would probably sit better on its own subreddit, hence r/UtterlyUniquePhotos, which I set up about 4 months ago."

    Still are. Less so obviously and not officially (in most places) we are not banned from having an education anymore and can (in theory) hold the same positions as men. But in everyday life... there is still a lot of supression and narrow mindedness. The prejudice that women can't have any technical ability or insight is strong. I can give you tonnes of (demeaning) examples from my own life. I actually have had something I was fixing being literally taken out of my hands. And not as help, takes too long to describe his attitude, but condescending and disbelief that I even dared to hold a tool, I had no business there basicly. By the way I did a technical study, would have been an engineer, but got seriously ill (and still am 20 years later) during my study and was forced to quit so never got my degree.

    As military strategy goes, well let's just say it's a good thing Germany never invaded India.

    It would have been Japan, not Germany, and they tried but failed. The battle of Imphal was a turning point in the war and one of the most significant battles in British military history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Imphal

    This is from the movie "Roman Scandals" (1933). Ms Ball is briefly shown in this outfit chained to a post at a slave auction. All of the other woman at the same auction had similar wigs. Yes - all of the women were naked under the wigs - done for publicity. (PS "Roman Scandals" was actually a comedy, starring Eddie Cantor. )

    By "accidental discharges" they actually mean exploding bottles. If you mess up the dosage, the amount of sugar you add per bottle to generate the carbonation and fizz, kaboom. Glass shrapnel is not good for the face or the rest of the body for that matter.

    One football field is 345 ft, so the taller one is roughly 0.024 football fields tall.

    What is it with our fascination with history, especially when we see it in old-timey pictures? In an earlier interview, writer, visual artist, and photographer Margaret Sartor told Bored Panda that "all historical photographs are a window into the past, but beyond the facts (or a nostalgia for the past), they may indicate little else."

    I believe his real name should be mentioned. Manfred von Richtofen was not an aggressive combatant. Instead he was a skilled military tactician. He died April 21 1918, as SCamp says, likely by a ground AA shot. He is considered an ace of aces in WWI, credited with 80 kills. He flew with the Albatros D. I, II, III, and V models, before switching to his famous Fokker Dr.1 triplane. His plane was scrapped, and the largest remains can be seen at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra as well as the Imperial War Museum in London

    However, in some cases, they also might change our minds about a thing or two. "Some historical photographs have the power to subvert familiar narratives and carry with them the possibility of expanding or upending our understanding of our own history," Sartor explained back then.

    She also told us that it doesn't take a professor to be a master at photography. "Anyone could be a photographer, just like anyone can draw or write a sentence if they can hold a pencil; the camera is simply a machine, a tool, a medium."

    "A photographer, in any era, is someone who chooses to use the camera as a way to explore or discover something about the world or their place in it. You can capture an authentic moment even with an iPhone – it's the idea behind it, the feeling that it gives the viewer that matters."

    Photographs aren't the truth, but they can help us get to it, Sartor told Bored Panda. "As human beings and citizens, we are constantly trying to see ourselves and our ever-changing, often conflicted world as clearly as we can—hoping it matters, hoping we matter, wondering what happens next."

    "The magic of photography is that photographs move us in ways we can neither control nor can we fully explain, and in that sense, they remind us that ordinary life is suffused with mysteries."

    The amount of money that goes into research and treatments aimed at bettering the lives of animals never fails to astound considering all of it would be much better spent on the endeavor of bettering the health of thousands of humans who lack access to even the most basic healthcare.

    Lots of money is spent on research for treatments for humans as well as animals, but when you have societies that promote for-profit healthcare, then you will always have an issue where if you can't afford to pay then you get no care.

    Used to have lovely old couple who lived across the road from us. The husband had lived in this area as a child and had seen these riots. He hated the Oswald's fascists as they were b*stards" and he seen one smash a bottle into a policeman's horse's face...

    Apparently I met him when I was about 3 or 4. There's a few pics in the family photo album of my mom holding me and he was in the pic. Apparently he was filming at the San Diego Zoo and we were there on vacation. I was also on the Lincoln, Nebraska version of Romper Room back in the late 70's also.

    Yup, and I thank THE X-FILES for bringing it to my attention back in 1995. If I hadn't been running an episode guide at the time, I might not have looked into the story and just taken it at face value. One of the reasons I loved the show was how much real history went into so many storylines.

    Pretty disgusting story, actually: "Mashiani and Taunyane first garnered notice during an event series organised by the fair’s Department of Anthropology. The “Anthropology Days” formed part of a trilogy of exhibitions that also included “Barbarian Days” and “Philippine Tribal Contests”, racially and culturally defined sporting events in which people of various nationalities and ethnicities competed against one another for the amusement of white audiences. “Pygmies” from central Africa were, for instance, set up in an intramural mud fight. The hypothesis was, as the header of the American Olympic Committee put it at the time, “that the average savage was fleet of foot, strong of limb, accurate with the bow and arrow and expert in throwing the stone”. A headline from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch suggests the mores of the intellectual compass of this crackpot university: “Barbarians meet in Athletic Games”. Writing about the fair, in particular its oddly Victorian anthropology exhibition"

    Hark back to when we were in France on a school trip, and we went to Disney. There was a living statue at the entrance, and he would stand stone still a bit then suddenly move into a different pose, and repeat. And this has been seen as we were walking through. So, as there seems to have to be always, there were the biach girls group that no one liked (the feeling obviously being neutral on both sides), and they decided to dare each other to go up to him and try make him fall off his pedisal. Because hilarious, right? So one goes up, and because the bloke ain't def, he suddenly changed pose, smacking (lightly. Only hurt her ego) the biach in the face and sends her flying! X ) And, naturally, all of everyone else, bar the teachers of course (although there was some strained faces by more than one) started laughing ourselves to the point nearly wetting ourselves! ... She was not amused, however, at being the laughing stock. Didums

    I read about one of my ancestors that he was in his 50s and working during a heatwave in the fields. He collapsed and fell to the ground unconscious. They recovered him and placed him in a bed and for days (!!!) they would bloodlet him in order to help him recover. Obviously it didn't help and he died. Nowadays this is completely silly. He probably just needed some fluids and a cold place to rest (my guess). But they decided to drain his fluids. I am just happy to live in a medically more developed world.

    After World War II, male youths in delinquent gangs who had adopted Edwardian-era fashion were sometimes known as Cosh Boys, or Edwardians. The name Teddy Boy was coined when a 23 September 1953 Daily Express newspaper report headline shortened Edwardian to Teddy.

    It's just research. They're researching how many whales they can kill within a specific time frame. (not mine, this came from Good Omens)
