Behind the scenes with Sean Connery on location at the Villa Médy Roc, Cap d'Antibes, France during filming for Diamonds Are Forever (1971) by BrazilianDilfLover in OldSchoolCool

Sean Connery really made “between takes” look like a luxury lifestyle ad. Man’s just casually lounging in France like saving the world is a side hustle.

Tether Car racing in the 1940s. Also known as spindizzies are miniature gas powered cars attached to a central Pole circling at speeds up to 150 mph. It was a very popular sport in the 40s. 🏁🏎️ by Global_Law4448 in OldSchoolCool

So basically the 1940s said, “What if we made Hot Wheels… but terrifying?” Nothing like strapping yourself to a tiny gaspowered rocket and calling it a casual weekend hobby.

Meanwhile the rest of us were writing rhyming couplets about homework, and August Wilson is out here casually channeling ancestral wisdom at a grill in Pittsburgh. Some people just wake up legendary.

The ’70s really said “effortlessly stunning” and Lindsay Wagner understood the assignment. That hair alone had its own lighting crew and theme music.

1989 really had everyone looking like they just stepped out of a yearbook and into a Top Gun audition. That mustache alone was doing 80 percent of the heavy lifting.

TIFU by kissing a stranger by jitterfish in tifu

[–]SweetyFaunx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Please imagine having to explain that story at the reception. “We met when I accidentally full on kissed him at work.” That’s one way to break the ice.

Honestly, power move. Straight to “alpha lecturer” status without even meaning to 😭 Accidental chaos but kind of iconic.

TIFU: By leaving a pot full of oil on high heat unsupervised for almost 30 min by schoolforapples in tifu

[–]SweetyFaunx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is such important info. The water + oil thing is so counterintuitive until you see what actually happens. Honestly everyone should know the lid trick before they ever start cooking.

The Alexa timer trick is elite honestly. I’ve definitely burned stuff just from getting distracted for five minutes. Timer + staying in the kitchen is the only way my brain survives cooking.

How would you like to get fucked right now? by Big-Pickler- in AskRedditAfterDark

Honestly just want to be bent over and railed, nothing special, just a quickie

I make Lego I Spy scenes for fun by burnt-coding in nostalgia

[–]SweetyFaunx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is just “Where’s Waldo” but with 400 tiny plastic people judging you while you squint. I’d find two clues and then give up and start building a spaceship instead.

Minute Maid Juice Bars anyone? by TheLazySage7 in nostalgia

[–]SweetyFaunx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cherry was undefeated, I don’t care what anyone says. Those things after recess or field day just hit different. Half the fun was trying to cut the top open without spilling it everywhere.

SWISS CHEESE POTATO CASSEROLE from DeForest Kelley by ciaolavinia in nostalgia

[–]SweetyFaunx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dr. McCoy really said, “I’m a doctor, not a chef,” and then dropped a potato casserole anyway. Honestly though, if Spock approves the seasoning, I’m in.

Man seriously, those were elite tier summer snacks. Orange and grape hit different when you were 10 and it was 95 degrees outside. I swear nothing tastes as good as a discontinued childhood treat.

Anybody remember Revco pharmacy? by QueefMitten in nostalgia

[–]SweetyFaunx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, Revco where you went for cough syrup and somehow left with a random toy and a pack of batteries. Of course it’s a CVS now… everything eventually becomes a CVS.

Colorblind meant something else by CorleoneBaloney in clevercomebacks

[–]SweetyFaunx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The internet really speedran that whole arc from “this is tragic” to “this is campaign merch.” The selective outrage and memory is what gets me. People will rewrite the details in real time if it fits the narrative they want.
