Incredible colorised footage from 1929 of construction workers on the Chrysler Building in New York.

[saurs4thtry]

I’m just impressed that it has audio

[theresistance2]

If you wanted solid, definitive proof that the past did, in fact, happen, here it is.

[thatorigamiguy-deactivated20220]

I’m surprised the structure was able to support the weight of every set of BRASS FUCKING BALLS on all of those construction workers. Pre-safety gear/OCEA was wilding man.

The Chrysler Building had zero fatalities during construction. But the osha violations hurt my soul

TERRIFYING

[monstrousgourmandizingcats]

Many of these men were Mohawk Native Americans! The Mohawk had a reputation as ironworkers and worked on most of the big interwar-era construction projects in NYC, also including the Empire State Building and the George Washington Bridge.

“This little guy always bring dried seed to trade for some nuts”

(Source)

[petermorwood]

A Eurasian Red Squirrel being cute (which they are) and keen on eating nuts (which they are) while being remarkably unconcerned about being petted (which they are not, it’s most unusual and even cuter).

Coats vary from dark to bright…

…though as the name suggests…

…the “official” colour can be quite vivid.

Ratatoskr, the squirrel who lived in Yggdrasil the World Ash, may have looked like this, just because….

Side-note: according to the most recent survey (2019)…

…as pine-marten (native species) populations continue to recover in Ireland, so do red squirrel (native species) populations; while grey squirrels (non-native invasive species, introduced 1911 as a wedding present(!!) ) continue to decline.

This is just as it should be, especially since it’s happening naturally.

The reason is that pine-martens, now a protected species here, prey on all squirrels, but more ponderous greys (they can be twice as heavy) can’t retreat to inaccessibly thin branches as reds do, and that’s the end of them.

Pass the mustard….

(A Birthday Present… Sheesh.)

The fact that Vladimir Putin's name is spelled Poutine in French is so funny to me. Imagine if we were just like ah yes the president of Russia, Mr. Cheese Fries.

hate how this 1) manages to make fun of Belgium without bothering to mention us 2) every single person in the notes knows this 3) it's true

[lotusblossomschokethepond-deact]

Very true.

Reminiscent of the Quebec-Ontario border; below, Quebec is on the left, and Ontario is on the right. Specifically, it's Mt Janssen Road.

downside: going to have to include a picture of the Giza pyramids in the slides for the lecture upside: i get to give people a crash course in why perspective matters in two frames, because

followed by

is such a funny sequence

[wine-dark-sea]

i find most people who haven't seen it in person don't know that cairo is RIGHT THERE

[teaboot]

I loved these perspectives so I took some of my own when I was in Cairo and yeah, they're literally just. Right there. Pass em on your way to work, nbd

[ophilosoraptoro]

No, y'all don't even understand.

There is literally a Pizza Hut across the street from the pyramids.

[rudjedet]

That Pizza Hut among other things is why Egyptologists laugh their asses off when we see another piece of media where the protagonists get "lost in the desert near the pyramids", because it's like... just turn around my dudes you're only a seven min walk away from the nearest fastfood shop
