McSorleys in NYC was men only until a 1970 legal ruling, and didn't have a women's restroom until 1986.

Their motto prior to 1970 was "Good Ale, Raw Onions and No Ladies"

Nothing more manly than being surrounded by dudes and raw onions while getting drunk because you’re too much of a wuss to go to therapy or even address emotional trauma yourself.

I also like how they had a gender neutral bathroom.

We live closer in time to the first T-Rex than the first T-Rex does to the last Stegosuraus

No way T-Rex did high fives

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Due to its tiny arms and non-pentadigit hands the T-Rex would commonly high five with its teeth. This lead to the T-Rex being unfortunately labeld a carnivore.

And not so high; more close.

Close 3s, we can be assured, we're quite popular until the event.

Maybe that’s why the Pachycephalosaurus had thick skulls and kept head butting each other, they were just trying to close 5 but their heads kept getting in the way (apparently these actually had 5 fingers)

For some of the kids here: SPAM of the mail variety was not a thing before 1995.

What is that? I'm picturing Everclear and Prime.

Back in my day it was called goose juice, and had Gatorade

It’s 2025 and my invention idea from the 1980’s, the glow in the dark toilet seat, still hasn’t taken off. Makes me want to quit inventing.

Makes me want start pooping.

Back before the 1970's if a woman was travelling she'd have her husband or a porter carry her bags. With the rise of women travelling alone there was suddenly a market for wheeled bags. Men didn't want them because they made men look too weak to carry their own luggage.

Fellas is it weak to not carry your 50lb suitcase everywhere? Definitionally yes but oh my god how fragile.
