2022 is further away from Smells Like Teen Spirit than 1991 was from the Beatles' first hit.

Am I the only one in this thread still trying to figure out what the frick this means?

Before 1900 everything was grainy and black and white, so your iPhone picture wouldn't be as good pre 1900.

@Kafka

Amazing footage in your link. Wonderfully preserved. That predates anything else posted so far. Rare footage indeed!

Lions, cheetah, dire wolves, saber-toothed cats, bison, mastodons and short-faced bear used to roam the same Colorado and Wyoming high plains.

If Operation Grand Slam would have succeeded, it would have been so long ago that all of the gold in Fort Knox would be safe to be around today.

What I find hard to comprehend is that we progressed from the telegraph, and steam locomotive, to jumbo jets, supersonic fighters, space craft, the internet and cell phones in little more than a 100 years. Even more difficult for me to process is that the biggest advancements in transportation, medicine, and technology occurred in a period that started just a few years before I was born.

And yet our lives are more stressful, less enjoyable, more busy, and less happy.
