MODERATORS
Can anyone recommend a movie or tv show or book that demonstrates how deeply fucking WEIRD the past was?
Usually, the past is basically just like today, but with funny clothes.
The Madmen TV show was great at depicting the society. For example, I remember one episode where after having a picnic, the familly throws all the trash in the nature and go back into the car.
yeah, they used to feed the grizzly bears scraps at yellowstone to bleachers filled with tourists
Nice article about it : https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/yellowstone-geysers-trash-garbage
They use to throw soap and do laundry in Yellowstone.
Watcher used to have a series called "Puppet History" that celebrated that past weirdness with puppets, paper cutouts on sticks and original song, all performed by one host. Pretty impressive, best ep was "The Affair of the Necklace", in which the diamond necklace at the center of the royal scam is played by a puppet.
