I remember my parents having guests. Everyone smoking.
There was so much smoke that it pushed the clean air down and made a distinct separation.
There was about 2 feet of clear air at the floor.
I don’t think we could have made the progress with smoking in the US now like we did back then. Would have turned into a partisan issue about freedoms and all that.
This was my grandma man. She died at 98 smoking until the very end. She used to drive a 1972 Lincon Continental I would ride in the back seat with no chair or seat belt as she chain-smoked filterless Camels and spit dip into a Styrofoam coffee cup.
Edit: I called Camels “cowboy killers” but those were Marlboros and that’s what my mom smoked. Grandma didn’t dig filters because “that’s how you get cancer.”
Still that way when I was a baby in the 90s, and when my niece/nephew were coming up in the early 2000s their mom would smoke while nursing them
Ah, yes, the beekeeper pacification technique.
Image won’t load for me and I desperately want to know what it was lol
The direct link from that: https://media1.tenor.com/m/DzphccF2s5QAAAAd/dance-bee-keeper.gif
(I’m not saying it’s worth the click, just providing an answer - the joke relates to a device called bee smoker that average beekeepers use to pacify the bees before robbing them, tho a lot of them don’t use it)
Ha! Nice.
Yeah, my buddy’s a vegan bee keeper who won’t use smokers
Using honey isn’t vegan as it comes from an animal. Your buddy sounds like a vegetarian.
I remember whenever you went to a sit down restaurant you had to tell the person seating you if you wanted smoking or non-smoking. As if it mattered lol.
more egregiously, plane tickets!
Actually, most planes from that era circulated air front to rear and smoking was always the rear section, and the entire cabin’s air was renovated every 1-3 minutes, so unless you were seated in the row immediately before smoking, you didn’t get smoke.
I hear you, but for some reason I don’t believe you. I grew up in the 80s and never experienced cigs on a plane, but I have a feeling the smoke smell spread further than the seated row before smoking.
My first flight that i was ever on was pretty much the last one that still had smokers on them, and the airplane definitely snelled like smoke. I remember my second flight, some guy lit up a cigarette and they explained him that smoking isn’t allowed anymore, and people were like: i fon’t care, let him smoke and shit. Insanity.
People are still doing “Nobody:” memes? They don’t even make sense. This would be improved 100% by removing the “Nobody:” line.
Nobody:
Absolutely no-one:
CrayonRosary: Nobody and no-one suck!
Imo they are trying to set the tone.
I would go with “meanwhile” personally
Meanwhile… decades in the past? Still doesn’t make sense.
Meanwhile… In the year 3000… BCE…!!
Pretty attention grabbing actually
Also, car seats in the 70s:
My boomer bitch ass parents used to complain about us needing a few minutes to strap a car seat into a car in the 2010’s.
“We didn’t need car seats when we were babies and we survived.”
They were fucking obnoxious.
Survivorship bias. The ones that died aren’t there to contradict them.
Did you point out that they have brain damage from lead poisoning and it might be compromising their ability to think?
Some people are beyond reason. Last year i bought a broken lawnmower from some lady, because i thought it’s a fun project to fix it. The lady was probably in her 60es. And one of the forst things she said to me was: no offence, but my generation in absolutely useless. Useless i thought, that’s pretty rich coming from someone that is close to morbidly obese, racist as fuck, lives on an absolute dumpster of a house that her husband probably bought for 300 dollars 40 years ago. She was the most useless person i have seen in a long ass time.
