I don't care how hot the weather is, roller skating in beach clothes is asking for a hospital visit. And this is in the 70s, they were probably using thiomersal or hydrogen peroxide for antiseptics, which hurt like hell.

Good old tincture of merthiolate, my grandma’s bottle had a handwritten label. Mmm. Mercury.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 hours ago

One time they started advertising that the new version of merthiolate didn't hurt. They lied.

[–] ephemeral@hexbear.net 1 points 12 hours ago

they're quad skates, it's pretty hard to fall down in those

It feels like a switch was flipped in the 70s and shit has just been restricting since then.

Step 1: Google the Powell memo

Step 2: Google “what happened in 1971?”

Step 3: Feel your hatred for the antichrist intensifytroll

Don't forget Reagan, Thatcher, and the rise of neoliberalism!

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 26 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

And before that: Google the Powell memo.

You will have a crashout when you realize that even burgerland would have been a lot more bearable of a place if the porks weren’t spoiled, tantrum-throwing brats. Almost every shitty thing you see is the result of a multi-decade long pig tantrum over the civil rights act and the new deal.

idk the english are chuds just like the ameriKKKans. and they banned slavery in the 16th century. my guess is it would always have turned out this way.

[–] gayspacemarxist@hexbear.net 1 points 7 hours ago

they weren't setup to benefit from chattel slavery in the same way. they still did racist imperialism, just with wage slavery since it suited their system better.

[–] sangeteria@lemmy.ml 8 points 18 hours ago

Many factors as people mentioned but also the 70s was the "sexual revolution" so shit was just generally opening a lot more back then

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 16 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

not a cell phone in sight, no influencers, no skibbidi toilets, no streamers, no vaccine activated 5G nanobots.

just people living in the moment.

A lot more cigarettes and the clap too!

If I had a Reddit account I would post this in response to all those 'Iran before the year 197x' posts
