On her 70th birthday Patrick Swayze kissed my mother. She talks about it 20 years later. Which other celebrity has done a relatively small this that left a positive and lasting impression?

Why did people in the old days dress so well, when they could barely get clean?

35 Upvotes

I saw a picture the other day. It was a really old picture from the early 1900's of all these really well dressed people at the beach on a hot summer day. It didn't look like a special event, it just looked like a day at the beach.

Everyone looked great but it got me thinking about how bad people must have smelled. With today's access to clean running water, high tech washing machines, deodorants and body products, it would make far more sense for people today to dress like that.

Back then, they should have been wearing shorts and t shirts, instead of sweating like hogs and then having to wash three peice suits and ball gowns down in the river.

I don't expect anyone from that time to be on reddit to give a first hand account of why they dressed like they did... i just wonder why they made life so much harder on themselves when things were hard enough already.

How do monkeys clean their butts?

3 Upvotes

So looking at the mammalian family tree we have lots of butt-lickers. Cats, dogs, bats etc. Some don’t, notably marine mammals spring to mind.

We’re obviously wipers (or at least I hope we are) and that would’ve come with the stiffening of the spine and the upright walking and all that rot…

So what do monkeys do? Where in the evolutionary tree did we transition from lickers to wipers?

What's the most annoying (but petty) thing someone you're otherwise on good terms with did to you?

6 Upvotes

Petty as in small, not spiteful.

So nothing life-ruining, dangerous, or traumatic. More, something that was enough to get under your skin, but NOT enough to alter your relationship with them or lose your respect.

It can be from any time period, like maybe your life long best friend ate your lunch in the 2nd grade and you're still mad about it lol

I don't have an answer at the moment. I'm just nosy.
