*Someone Not some bird

Forreals the time before and after the internet/smartphones is so damn interesting. A lot of us grew up without it and now the new generations are starting to take over. Can definitely feel the old and new intertwining. I'm only 30 so I feel like I'm lucky to have grown up before the internet got going.

@@bluex610 ​ I'm half your age + a bit. However, having been from a country that even now is still in 'developing' status; The changes to our daily lives have been massive. I was used to CRTs, portable MP3s, and T9 dialing. Yes, I'm pretty sure a lot of people were the same way in the 2000's. But we had a CRT until 2015, had a cheaper physical keypad phone (As well as the good old 3310 brick phone. I was lucky to have had one), as well as relied on DSL Internet until 2018. I'm lucky I never had to experience Dial-Up, however, I wouldn't be surprised if they actually used Dial-Up on a family computer we had that ran Windows 98, perhaps around the mid-late 2000's. Now, all my Internet woes are extremely small in comparison to the absolutely huge amount of time it took for me to even download a decent-sized jpeg, let alone stream past 240p. Food delivery services are rampant. Netflix and Online Shopping is at my fingertips. This stuff was likely already available to those who were more fortunate, however, in my country, we were already part of the Middle Class, perhaps not even at its lower boundary. Even then, I don't think a lot of those reading this even from more-developed countries would bat an eye at the stuff I mentioned since they experienced that as well, if they were able to experience the global trends in technology prior to let's say, 2015 - where definitively I imagine most people in developing to developed countries would be have been used to a 'modern' way of life. Edit: I haven't even talked about how I, as someone who's still studying - just had to get used to an entirely-new learning setup that completely depended on online-based infrastructure. Crazy stuff that wouldn't have happened even 15 years ago.

@@bluex610 You're 30, and you grew up "Before the internet got going?" How? I'm 35, and the internet was already a common household commodity when I was 10 years old. You grew up alongside the internet, not before it. It was already popular when you were 5.

Yeah. I mean, I'm only 26 and even just in my lifetime, we've seen the smartphone revolution, electric cars going (sort of) mainstream, the rise of social media and both the good and bad changes it's made on society, among other things. It's crazy the technological changes, even in just the last decade and a half, much less the last 70, 80 years.

@@bluex610 I’m 33 and the internet was definitely around in early elementary (at least in my schools in California) lol

I hate 'historical' videos. Most of them are stupidly inaccurate. This asinine assertion makes me mistrust everything else he says. Yes, of course most parents were attached to their children. People from other cultures and times are not alien creatures. The human basics are always there- love, foibles, heroic choices, and evil choices.

I think it was a different kind of attachment, but apart from upper class (which handed their kid to the wet nurse asap and saw them only in "official way") yes, they lived together and it's difficult to not get attached. Though, if your mentality is that kids under 5 generally die, the reaction on one's kid's death is different than if your mentality is that almost all kids survive.

​​@@Serena-or7slYes, I think that it might have been the same type of sadness that one feels when a very old family member dies, you kind of expect it to happen although it is very tragic. Meanwhile, nowadays, when young kids die, we feel a kind of shock, as if their lives were unfairly robbed and that it "shouldn't have happened"

Totally agree. I think the Victorian era is where we basically built the modern concept of childhood. The middle class could provide healthier lives for their children but couldn't afford a wet nurse so the parents raised their own kids. They got attached. They started industries based around children to create what they considered to be the proper childhood.

My uncle died when he was a baby in the 1960s. My my family visits his grave and sing Christmas songs to him with candles every year in 2023, even after my grandparents died. At the cemetery a lot of young kids are there from the 1960s after a bad sickness, and several of the graves still have flowers at them every year.

Thats weird

i love that

I feel like we need context for these pictures of dead people. How was she encountering so many dead people, and at what stage of dead they were because that could potentially be horrific. You even elaborated on the fact that they’re Polaroids but left the dead people context totally hanging 😂

​@@monhi64 Nana was a serial killer 😂

my sister died in 1996 and she came home for 5 days for people to say good byes... i literally stayed with her alone for 5 days on my own as a 17yr old as i couldnt say goodbye... i remember everything to this day... yes looking back it was weird but i needed to do it.

Also considering the home sewing machine wasn’t really available until the 1860’s or so. Sewing by hand took much, much longer.

Good points. Also, the average lower to emerging middle-class adult only had a few sets of clothes, so they surely couldn't invest in more than that for young children.

Please give us some memorable stories you had of your parents. I remember how my aunt remembered events of her time that were not even close to what books were telling (mid-20th century of Latin America ). It would be interesting to view the perspective of a child of two Victorian parents.

please sir,gives us some more!

Interesting, I also have seen a pattern in governments, there definitely is a government cycle as well. I supposed most things have a cycle to them. We as humans just ignore history and keep doing the same things over and over.

Humanities teachers are not as well-known as, say, English teachers. I wonder if, by chance, your teacher had the initials of J. C.?

I kind of feel like we're in a "sexual repression, death positivity" phase as well, just look at what is and what isn't allowed in media, and especially on the internet. More and more "mature" content is getting censored, but things like war and shooting games are totally fine to upload to KZfaq, whereas a bare chest will get banned. When we say "think of the children" we are talking about the human body, people are out there complaining to zoos because the animals have their things out and mate in front of the kids. And not nearly enough children know what is happening to their body when they hit puberty. Young girls are taught their body is something to be ashamed of. But we don't hear anyone say "think of the children" when all these toy guns are being advertised and sold, despite guns having one single purpose only; to take a life. Kind of insane. When you think about it.

@@YuBeace personally I'd say, we're in more of a death denial sex positive phase but coming out of the opposite. We have a lot of people still living who came from the "married couples in separate beds" way of life and it's having some friction with the younger generations' attitudes. Death positive doesn't exactly mean violent media, what I meant was, like, a social acceptance of death. Casual conversation about funeral plans for loved ones, new alternative practices. And we do have some of that but at the moment it's sort of a little movement. From my perspective generally, most people don't want to talk about or even think about dying, or people they love dying. I just mean it seems like especially younger adults have an easier time discussing their relationship history and sex lives than they do well, what's been established already lol

@@arcadia-ego2951 nope lol

yeah it’s like the deliberately went with the most subconsciously terrifying aesthetic possible. Not necessarily ugly, strangely unsettling somehow.

The Victoria era definitely is the definition for both beautiful & creepy in the same time

steampunker!

@@bobross4886 They did do it deliberately! As Joe said, Queen Victoria's extended mourning brought in the trend of black clothing, but also of inricately fillagreed mourning jewlery and lockets made of the deceased's hair. Their favored stones were dark sapphires and Bohemian garnets, which are a beautiful dark red, almost black color. They were the diamonds of the day. Black and dark colors were practical on walls and houses due to coal staining & if I'm not mistaken innovations in carpentry tools, like lathes, advanced miter saws, dremmels, etc made the intricate wooden lacework on houses possible. So they just went nuts.

Jealous. It's my dream to buy and restore an old Victorian house! Better yet, a Victorian era church.

I suppose it would very much depend where you were in the social system. If you could afford a large family and had the resources you would be able to love your children. For those of working class or lower children were not always a blessing. A Victorian family could have 11 to 15 live births more or less l A death of one or two meant more food for the rest. They might be mourned for who they were but it could be a relief to have one less mouth to feed.

This whole series has a weirdly mocking tone that dehumanizes and way oversimplifies.

@@stellabastoneintoronto955 its not lmao

There are a lot of over-simplifications and a bit of plain old incorrect info in this, but it's KZfaq, right? Not a thesis. Still, to say their culture was crazy is to assume ours is sane and correct so we're objectively qualified to judge. This notion is also insane.

@@stellabastoneintoronto955 So are you gonna explain or just spew a stinky load of sewage for us to dissect on our own, and then leave? Wow. How do you get the term 'dehumanizes' from one of the more open-minded Victorian era videos? Are you talking about the audience or the Victorian people he was talking about in the video? Are you unable to detect the nuances of human speech so you assume he is 'mocking' you, despite just being informative, due to being a smoothbrain? Are you even aware of the kind of work that goes into condensing information and presenting it for a YT video, and if so, could you comment on how he went too far? Also, since you seem to be a historian too, you'll surely be able to speak on which SPECIFIC points and aspects of the Victorian era he doesn't mention en lieu of 'oversimplification' right?

Micro plastics and screen time for small children are my bets.

Agreed. Microplastics are already in our food and bodies. And screen time is destroying children

@Fasih Tahir Or "screen time" is making children infinitely more intelligent. Children today do at least 200x more reading than they did 100 years ago. And then there's having all the world's knowledge at your fingertips. Adults who didn't grow up with computers tend to project their own intellectual limitations and conditioned lack of curiosity onto the younger generations and it's just not an accurate assessment. I catered to my son's immense interest in tech. Naturally, I taught him moderation, but nothing any of my virtue signaling peers would be happy with, I was quite "indulgent" with all the things my son showed a passion for. Now he's more successful (in the tech field) than most adults I know and he's only 20. While he's a sensitive man, I swear his brain is primed like a machine sometimes, and it is paying dividends. I think we should stop being quite so insecure, jealous, and close minded with our "kids these days!" judgments. Kids these days is why you're going to live many *many* more days than you otherwise would have. "Kids these days!" is why infant and child mortality is no longer 60%. Encourage them, let them learn, innovate, and invent. Who knows, "Kids these days" may be exactly what we need to save humanity from itself....

@@avamasquerade I think i didnt word myself properly. Technology is good for everyone involved but today's parenting of leaving children by themselves to play with their devices while parents sit on their couches while watching TV or social media is what I have a problem with. Everything should be in moderation. You sound like a great parent but that is not the case for majority of the people. Today's teens are disconnected from their families and soceities due to having no model for how to talk and connect with other people

@@konayasai Screentime is fine, but the rise of touch screens is already proving a lack of motor skills in children's hands, they have more trouble holding a pen and writing with one than they used to. I highly suggest that if you're gonna give kids screen-time, you make sure they use a chunky keyboard to use sometimes, give them some actual, physical toys to teach grip and the feeling of different textures, maybe a variation of video-game controllers. And of course make sure they still get enough sunlight in a day. And, of course, the non-screen-time option; actual pen and paper. Teaching them how to draw in a way that isn't with the tip of their finger. Maybe even teach them how to sew when they get older; that's a life skill more people should know anyway.

Hence the term "Saved by the bell."

@@englishatheart I believed that too for a long time but it's not the case :) "Saved by the bell" was coined in the USA, refers to boxing rounds which begin and end with a bell. If a boxer is doing badly they can be saved by the bell if they hang on. "Dead ringer" instead comes from horse races, "dead" like 'dead on' meaning precise, "ringer" meaning look alike. Arose from the practice of using look alike horses one faster and one slower to switch out in races for betting purposes. Graveyard shift has Maritime origins it's the watch from midnight to early morning when ships were most likely to have accidents, the USA adapted graveyard watch into graveyard shift for industries which had assumed a 24 hour work day

Well there is the counterpoint that many of these people from the past were likely far more content than the average person of today. While people now live much less difficult lives, they can often be unfulfilling to the point of it being unbearable, hence the gigantic suicide rate in industrial and post-industrial nations (ex. Russia and Japan)

@@masonsmith9619 In my opinion, they were content because they weren't as aware of how awful their lives were. Today, we have access to information, thus we know more, thus we want more, thus we are less content to stay put and suffer.

​@@thegrayyernautoh they knew how bad it was. And people committed suicide. But mostly people just plodded on through like most people do today.

I think the lesson here is about having hope, and about things ABSOLUTELY CAN get a lot better than the present, and it's happened before. Also, keep in mind that they probably weren't as unhappy as you think. People in the middle ages probably still, ya know, gathered around to have a nice family dinner sometimes or go out singing with their friends. Although yeah I definitely wouldn't want most aspects of that time period.

Some of us can see that we are in a time of transitioning quite clearly. And with just as much clarity some can see that the insanity of bygone eras is not a plague from which this last generation has been cured. On the contrary, the mental infirmities of the yesteryears have accumulated over the centuries and manifested into an incurable madness that cannot be denied. It is blatantly visible anywhere the eyes may glance in this so-called modern time, from the contrived scripts being acted out on the world stage in the realm of politics ( the covert business of making merchandise out of men), all the way down the pyramid of shame to the common man and woman, as no one is immune.

Holy shit

the craziest thing is that the change ur talking about, is always happening its a endless cylce

Without the unnecessary amount of swagger Brenda has, yes, each and every generation will face challenge and change, and make mistakes the same as our elders. I might add that life is a learning experience, and that we don't have to mull about like our Victorian predecessors with the improvements to common knowledge and rights today. Still a work in progress, as it will be centuries from now

Joe Biden's presidency has been a debacle thus far but compared to the alternative of another four years under Trump I would say the US got lucky. Take it from a non-American, Trump damaged your country on the world stage like no other president ever has, or will.

That makes sense and it’s absolutely practical I agree

Even in the 1940's babies wore dresses - they were just for "babies" to help change nappies. Also note these are gender-attached notions (era specific social rules, aesthetics, roles, stereotypes, etc) not actual Gender - the word stemming from the same tree as Genes, Genesis (beginning), Genitals, etc

It’s also a myth that people didn’t love their children because they might not survive. Sure, the nobility had a distance because they were not expected to show emotion. This myth crops up throughout history, especially in medieval times. People are people no matter what period of history, just as there are people today that don’t care for their children, there were people back in history. Yet the majority of parents did love their children and mourned their deaths.

It cannot be overstated how much more advanced we are now than in Victorian times, technology as we know it today can trace its origins to the industrial revolution, before then major advances were few and far between compared to today's pace of development, occurring decades or centuries apart thus civilisation remained pretty much the same since Roman times, with even a decline in living standards during the roughly thousand year 'dark age' up until the Renaissance; today, computing power doubles every two years or so, thus, as a metric, so we are advancing at an exponential pace compared to just over a century ago Health and safety regulations thanks to discoveries like poisons in paint have had a very long time and many examples to set precedents by, and we can analyse everything at the atomic level, the medical field is also unrecognisable compared to what it would have been to a Victorian person, products have to pass rigorous safety checks to be saleable and companies don't want to be sued for something that was their fault so a lot of testing is done and legal requirements met before a product is fit for sale (or at least that's supposed to be the case) What we should be more concerned about is the damage we're *knowingly* inflicting on ourselves. Given all of the above, we're still hooked on a liquid that took millions of years to form and we burn in an instant releasing emissions that we have proven beyond any and all reasonable doubt are causing dangerously high levels of all types of toxins in our air whilst heating the planet up beyond a point that may be reversible, it's happening right now, we are all aware of it, yet don't seem bothered enough to want to do anything about it. If we can't at least focus on that as a top priority, when not only should it be far and away the most pressing concern for every nation and everyone that wants a planet to live on, and when we have alternatives, right now, that can fix the problem, then that just speaks volumes of our complacence with a headlong course towards our own destruction Also the many other things we are fully aware of yet seem either uninterested or unable to fix (such as those mentioned above by Jaxxson). What we need is a paradigm shift, globally, in awareness and understanding to prioritise the things that we know full well should be prioritised but pure, basic greed is in the way. Anytime you hear that climate change is a 'myth' or that we are 'unsure' if we are causing it, just remember that those views, if not bought outright as a bribe, can be traced back to 'studies' funded by big oil to keep their industry afloat and their profits pouring in, when every scientist, academic, or person with half a brain is of the opposite opinion. It is patently obvious now and still some would rather pull the covers over their face like a kid scared of the dark as the truth is too scary for them; then they are most likely too entrenched and complicit in those industries that cause planetwide destruction and unwilling to change careers than accept reality.

Thanks for your input and making me reconsider my perspective. It'll make me reconsider future takes.

Ministry fan by chance …?😏 anyone else?

I'm very sorry for your loss. ❤️✝️🙏🏽🙏🏻

Condolences, dear. I can relate as well. Our (U.S.) society shies away from death to an uncomfortable degree that makes grieving difficult, I believe. There has been a resurgence in the making and purchase of mourning jewelery, made of the deceased's hair and/or ashes, lockets, etc. I think this is emblematic of our need to reconnect on a personal, tangible level with our departed loved ones rather than just handing a wad of cash to an anonymous funeral home.

Omg, I couldn't imagine. I'm so sorry for your loss.

@@audreyr.johnson8965 you are so right. Are you familiar with the KZfaq channel Ask a Mortician? She addresses this topic often and explains how important it is to be allowed to grieve in ways you are prevented from nowadays. An example she's used is how everyone treats death as an emergency and immediately calls the mortuary home to take their family member's body. But in cases of natural death or terminal illness where you don't need a death investigation, you can spend some time with your loved one at home to say goodbye. She's also mentioned how some funeral homes will let family members participate in preparing the body by cleaning, dressing, and even putting makeup on loves ones. These are all things that were normal back then but now society treats as odd or even inappropriate because it wants to cover its eyes to not see death.

@@280SE Also "I could sleep on a washing line" is associated.

@@deliawest3607 yea that saying sadly fell out of favour

@@280SE What are your sources? I just googled it and it sounds like this is not true and that two-penny hangovers may have been an urban legend entirely

The depiction of a "twopenny rope" shown is pretty suspect. Charles Dickens gives a description of the practice in "The Pickwick Papers" as follows: “And pray, Sam, what is the twopenny rope?’ inquired Mr. Pickwick. ‘The twopenny rope, sir,’ replied Mr. Weller, ‘is just a cheap lodgin’ house, where the beds is twopence a night.’ ‘What do they call a bed a rope for?’ said Mr. Pickwick…They has two ropes, ’bout six foot apart, and three from the floor, which goes right down the room; and the beds are made of slips of coarse sacking, stretched across ’em.’ ‘Well,’ said Mr. Pickwick. ‘Well,’ said Mr. Weller, ‘the adwantage o’ the plan’s hobvious. At six o’clock every mornin’ they let’s go the ropes at one end, and down falls the lodgers.” This is a description of stretching canvas hammocks in series between two ropes six feet apart. This arrangement sounds much more likely. Dickens lived in London during the time period in question 1812 to 1870 and would have had the benefit of being a direct observer and personally knowing direct observers. The few photos of this are also pretty suspect. Photography didn't exist for the most part before the 1850s. A number of these photos are later recreations. By the time the photos were created in the late 19th and early 20th centuries the "twopenny rope" may have already become a wildly inaccurate urban legend.

The funniest part about it is the new Houses of Parliament building was just finished, almost right before the stink begun. So there they all were, in their fancy new building… breathing sewage from the river :)

Well, we may have found Joe's story to be hilarious, but now we know why the Victorians were not amused.

Yeah, I wanted to work that in there but the video was going too long already. :)

Does make one wonder if the Parliament building had been 10 mi away from the Tim's how much longer would it take in to clean that mess up

Gotta be honest, doesn't sound too different to how our parliament works today!

I didnt even question that until I read the comments

Because a gender reveal party caused a huge fire in California last year.

It should have been a Dumpster fire.

I can’t believe he even said that. I’ve never watched this channel before today but I think I’ll be seeing my way out. I don’t know if he has children, but I can assure you, even if death rates were high, those parents suffered.

@@xXedwardXbellaXx oh comon...he is just stating facts. He never said that parents didnt love children, he just says that they didnt attach themselves to one particular child especially in aristocracy they just purposefully never spent much time with them until they grew up a bit. Just imagine knowing that your child might not survive until adulthood, but it is more realistic fear in those times

I have heard from people who hail from countries with high mortality rates where you step over the bodies of those who died on the street that yes, you do deliberately desensitize yourself to this. So I think it's not unexpected it also happened to parents.

"May you live" (Να ζήσεις), or "(May you have) many years (ahead of you)" (Χρόνια πολλά) on our birthday, "May your child live" (Να σας ζήσει) when a baby is born, our past is riddled with death and the fear of dying. But I don't think it's a British influence. Everyone more or less lived in such conditions.

@@IDreamOfLogic EDITED Having lots of children because lots died 5:45 wasn't new in the 1800s. People had been doing it for ever, because children had been dying like flies for ever - they didn't know basic hygiene or any other kind of hygiene. 100 years before, there's a remark by Mozart in one of his letters about his wife's family not wanting his kids to be put on "the water diet" - ie no milk. “It never did me any harm" wrote Mozart. He was forgetting he had had siblings who died on that diet... and he himself had wretched health, dying in his 30s.

@@gerardvila4685 humans have practiced all kinds of hygiene thoughout the centuries, the key missing piece was germ theory 👍✌️

@@gerardvila4685 children died so commonly and heavily only in big cities where crowded livestock and humans ate at the places where they shat. rural life was better, they had enough space to not mix with livestock pathogens and bathed in rivers during warm months.

@@aa-sw8bp That's something I heard too... but I got the impression life could be pretty grim in the country as well, especially when a harvest failed or an epidemic was going around or an army came along and helped itself to everything it wanted... and that's when it was a friendly army, a hostile army was something else. The Marseille goes: "Entendez-vous dans nos campagnes / mugir les féroces soldats / ils viennent jusque dans nos bras / égorger nos fils, nos compagnes" - "Do you hear in our countryside / the roaring of the ferocious soldiers / They come in to our arms / to cut the throats of our sons and wives". Propaganda maybe, but it wouldn't have worked if there was no truth in it at all.

Memento Mori has pretty much been debunked at this point. Ask a mortician did an awesome video on it called "recreating victorian death and grieving photographs " or something close to that.

Yeah I didn't quite get that part either, but maybe they were thinking of the person looking "down" towards their feet to beckon, and for some reason looking "up" to beckon wasn't as worrisome. I mean, it's nutball superstition so there doesn't really need to be a good explanation I guess.

No, not face down. There was a belief about that. Whoever was a servant of the Devil in life would turn face down when dead, so as not to see the light. Supposedly there was a character who kept turning face down no matter how many times people turned him face up, and eventually had to be buried that way.

@@Kurtlane "a character who kept turning face down" - "eventually had to be buried that way." what a bs... tell me how a dead person laying on its back would turn itself over to point his face down...

@@MrMelonMonkey Superstition and tall stories my friend, that's probably how!

@@MrMelonMonkey The Devil would make him do it. How would a black cat crossing one's way lead to misfortunes? We're not talking logic here.

I was thinking the same thing,

The bird hitting a widow sounds like a very insensitive animal.

I wonder, with most photos today never leaving the digital medium how would that superstitions apply? a photo that simply disappears from the file, without active deletion or every time you drop the cellphone you just screwed for everyone

@@matheussanthiago9685 BRO WHERE DID MY PHOTO GO I DIDN'T DELETE IT "Photo has been corrupted" -smartphone BRO THEY ARE TOTALLY COVERING UP THE TRUTH

Yeah same. I was told to never put a bed facing feet towards the door because that’s how dead bodies are carried out during funerals and sleeping like that means you’ll be soon carried out feet first. Also bird landing on your window means someone you know died and it’s their soul visiting you for the last time. And also some weird ones, like if you are an unmarried woman (like I was) to never sit on the corner of the table because that meant you will “end up with no corner of your own” aka a spinster oh humanity.

I hear ya, our buildings these days are just embarrassing trash. If you're ever in McDonald County, Missouri, the (old) county court house is in the center of the town square, which of course has interesting architecture, and the county just let it go to waste, even though it's still standing, all boarded up and ugly. Meanwhile, the "new courthouse" is in the line of sight from the old one and it's a.. M E T A L B U I L D I N G

They bathed. Why would they not. I've read books from this time and there are references to daily washings, perhaps not fully immersive baths but more a spit bath of sorts at a sink. Please. People didn't want to be dirty and smelly, why the fuck would they. Please just treat them like human beings and not like freaky things we can look back on and gawk at, it's awful.

And nowadays we explore space, use computers etc, but we still poison our one and only home. What is even worse is that we know we are doing it, but all we do is bicker.
