That’s the 19th century equivalent of the Casio calculator watch. Gimmicks have been around forever!

Wow, the craftsmanship is amazing. The mindset to come up with something like this, we’re all so fortunate to have such clever inventors and brilliant manufacturers that I think we always take for granted. Then the computer, 😱

That's very cool! The disk fan gives me Stargate armour vibes.

Amazing design and workmanship. My engineering side of the brain would pay serious money to own one of those.

The Founding Fathers wanted an American Empire, not a Gау Republic that leaves everyone alone “Manifest Destiny is the first half of the 19th century. It’s part and parcel of being an American!” 🇺🇸

Unsurprising, given that the movie has this baffling scene. The Egyptian mummy recognizes a Star of David (which became a Jewish symbol in the 19th century) and then proceeds to speak gramatically incorrect Modern Hebrew (a language invented in the late 19th century)

A rare glimpse of late 19th century London at the junction of Euston Road and Pancras Road, near to King’s Cross. Horse drawn traffic and double decker buses, an incredible film from c.1898.

The notion that the Founding Fathers didn't want an American Empire is a LIE! "Manifest Destiny was like the first half of the 19th century!"

A Palestinian tour guide is attacked by an Israeli settler while showing Norwegian tourists around East Jerusalem. The reason why many people particularly care about Palestine is that it resembles 19th century colonialism - in the 21st century.

17th-19th century doctors called the labia minora “wings of the clitoris” and “ridges of the clitoris.” 21st century doctors call them “excess skin,” claim they have “no sexual function,” and completely amputate them.

By as early as the mid-19th century, America was the world’s leader in education. But in the early 20th century, we made a huge mistake ... and we’re still living with the consequences.
