The last thing the dinosaurs saw before mass extinction [Cretaceous Period, 65,000,000 years ago]

Unlikely simultaneous historical events

A poster on Reddit asks: What are two events that took place in the same time in history but don’t seem like they would have?

Spain was still a fascist dictatorship when Microsoft was founded.

There were no classes in calculus in Harvard’s curriculum for the first few years because calculus hadn’t been discovered yet.

Two empires [Roman & Ottoman] spanned the entire gap from Jesus to Babe Ruth.

When the pyramids were being built, there were still woolly mammoths.

The last use of the guillotine was in France the same year Star Wars came out.

Oxford University was over 300 years old when the Aztec Empire was founded.

Pablo Picasso died the year Pink Floyd released “Dark Side of the Moon” (1973)

Prisoners began to arrive to Auschwitz a few days after Mc'Donalds was founded.

Coca-Cola is only 31 years younger than Italy.

Marilyn Monroe and Queen Elizabeth II were born in the same year.

The Ottoman empire still existed the last time the Chicago Cubs won the World Series.

The first wagon train of the Oregon Trail began heading out the same year the fax machine was invented.

Nintendo was founded at the same time Jack the Ripper was on the loose.

We put a man on the moon before we put wheels on a suitcase.

Oreos were invented the same year the Titanic sank.

The Mongols fought the Crusaders and the Samurais at the same time.

Cleopatra lived closer to the moon landings than she did to the building of the Pyramids of Giza.

remember when Gravity Falls swept in, told its story in exactly how long it needed to tell it, and then ended in triumph and people still talk about it? I think abt that a lot

same with ATLA. i feel like episodic kids shows set a kids channel precident of just going on forever. so it’s nice when a show is actually tight and uses it’s relatively short run to tell a full story, cuz kids do care abt that if it’s cohesive/released regularly, and it’s actually really great to see them pay attention to it

“Can I tell you a secret? You don’t have to be in a relationship. I mean it. I know they force it down your throat until you choke on it. Girls aren’t pretty unless they’re wanted. Boys aren’t men unless they’re having sex with someone. People aren’t lovable until they’re dating someone. But a relationship won’t always make you happy, and as wonderful as romance is, it isn’t the only love that exists. I have seen friendships that are deeper and more pure than couples who swear it’s forever - and yet the friendship is the one people ignore. I have heard so often “nobody loves me” out of the mouths of people who are single. And it kills me because if you ask them: where are your parents, your teachers, your classmates, your pets - they say, yes, okay, but it doesn’t count. Of course it counts, love doesn’t diminish just because someone doesn’t want to have sex with you. In fact, doesn’t it sort of make that love more real that they want nothing - not even a date - out of you? It is pretty to be in love. It’s magical, I’m sure. But it’s also wonderful to stop for ice cream in your prom dress with six other girls. It’s also wonderful to go visit the world with nothing but a bunch of buddies who are really excited about learning. The problem is: we’ve made everything about “the one”. But maybe “the one” is just you, loving yourself, having fun, and being happy. Maybe instead of looking for our other halves, we should be piecing ourselves together. Maybe I wasn’t born unfinished. Maybe I am the one who makes myself better.”

Take Me Home, Country Roads except on your back porch on a summer evening

Visit Original Link

Take Me Home, Country Roads by John Denver except it’s playing from your neighbor’s radio that you can hear from your back porch, which you sit out on to relax in spite of the loud buzzing from the lightbulb and the hoards of moths that flock to it on summer evenings like this.

I want to go on a roadtrip. I want to sleep in crappy motels. I want to sing along to happy songs while driving. I want to watch the sun rise in a different city every morning. I want to take pictures of new places. I just want to go.
