    The lack of safety equipment toughened us little bastards up back in the day as well as weeded out the weak. Sometimes the truth hurts...

    There are far more people getting sick with all kinds of diseases and cancers in the 2020’s compared to the 1980’s, we use more high fructose corn syrup today than we use to 50 years ago and 150 years ago foods people consumed natural gourmet foods with no garbage processed foods. Someone is sure getting rich of this it’s the corporations.

    Could you make a video on the dangerous things people do in the 2020's? Include things like
    1. our diet of fast food, and processed foods which contributes to 30% overweight, 42% obesity in America
    2. lack of church and face-to-face social skills
    3. addiction to social media ap's
    4. excessive marajuana use with high levels of THC
    5. uncontrollable need for massive assault weapons
    6. not enforcing/eliminating immigration laws and rules
    7.
    8.
    9.
    etc.

    DDT bug spray was fantastic. Also, with food crops sprayed with DDT we did not have head lice.
    Food people ate back then, might not have been healthy, BUT, people back then were mostly thin... Today, most are overweight, so it seems it should be the other way around... Truth, the food most ate back then was more healthy then what people can get today.

    Having grown up in the 80's, it is a borderline miracle that we all somehow survived. 😄 But seriously, those UV tanning beds were sheer insanity! I could never understand that desire for tanning. Tan people wanted to have lighter skin, pale people wanted to be tan. Why not just be happy with who you are?

    Love how a law was just passed in my state that if a DUI driver kills a Parent then the DUI driver has to pay child support to that Parent's children. Perfect idea! And also pay a fee of 100,000 dollars. That otta get some attention.

    Enjoyed the part about drinking from garden hoses. How ironic, now we buy bottled water to guarantee its potability, without adequate understanding of the dangers posed by the plastic bottles in which the water is packaged.

    • @ManuelGarcia-ww7gj
      @ManuelGarcia-ww7gj 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Plastic bottles do not pose the risk that Environmentalists are in a panic over. This is especially so with the so-called oceanic gyres. They are not the garbage patches that they are made out to be and the vast majority of plastics found in the gyres are essentially abandoned fishing nets. One simple set of regulations would go a long way to cleaning up the plastics "hazards" in the ocean environments.

    • @1952jodianne
      @1952jodianne 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I'm not referring to plastic bottles' threat to the environment, real unreal; my concern is the danger which plastic drinking containers pose to our health.@@ManuelGarcia-ww7gj

      Mjcroplastics are big news in UK at the moment like how many hundreds of them you ingest daily , invisible to the naked eye, not to mention the enormous side effects on nature with application of fertiliser/pest control all which come in plastic containers.

    Sorry for the long rant, but I love and hate videos like this.
    The sad thing about the smoking issue is that studies have shown that the air quality went down drastically and the number of people getting sick from flying on airplanes went up after the smoking ban on flights because airlines didn't change the cabin air filters nearly as often as they had to before the ban.
    Seat belts and drunk driving, duh! But the rates of accidents and deaths stays about the same even after seat belt and drunk driving laws and understanding, due to more and even much safer cars on the road.
    Sunscreen is sort of a yeah, but situation. We know excessive sun exposure is bad, but there are studies showing that the use of sunscreen makes people stay in the sun longer and that sunscreen is not reapplied as it should be, and also sunscreens contain some chemicals that may be making the risk of skin cancer higher.
    Hitch hiking is unsafe? There have been situations in which bad things happened, but now look what we do with Uber and those type of ride sharing apps.
    The mercury scare is extremely over rated. Casual contact with metallic mercury is harmless unless you snort it with a straw or get it in a cut. Even ingesting it doesn't cause problems as it usually passes right through us. The issue is with methyl mercury which is the dangerous form. Now occupational (long term regular) exposure to any mercury can be very detrimental to your health as it builds up in your system and causes some bad neurotoxic effects.
    The playground equipment and helmet thing is true, but the incidence of injury still is about the same, we knew the risk but didn't act too stupid, now they know the risk, have "safer" equipment and think they can act more stupid.
    By the 1980's, most pill bottles were child resistant, now the 1970"s were a different story!
    The whole garden hose thing is sort of true. Yes they did contain, generally lead, in the inner part of the hose, this would leach out when heated in the sun, but anyone who drank from a hose would wait until the water was col before drinking from it, thereby flushing any contaminants out.
    DDT was not around in the 1980's as it was banned for the most part in the early 1970's. i won't go into the nefarious proceedings that led to it being banned here. There were and are plenty of pesticides around still that are not good for us.

    Yes, SOME of it was about safety, but almost ALL of it was about controlling us.

    @cyclenut 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    Hitch hiking - in the US the 80s saw it declining. People back then were very different. They were much more sociable. Yeah, there were lots of dangers. But when one puts it in contrast to all out nuclear war that was a consent threat, nothing else seemed to compare.
    in the 50s public transportation was going away, forcing people to purchase a motor vehicle. If a family had one, most of the time it was just one motor vehicle to a home. From WW2 hitch hiking had been common.

    The 80s might’ve had a few messed up things but it still was the best time to grow up. It’s a hell of a lot better growing up than there now people now are too damn uptight with all this woke diy stuff makes it even worse. I was a lot better back that people were a lot more laid-back and not so damn uptight.

    People would actually use things like baby oil to get a darker tan... Spf was not even thought about. Instead of using a blocker some would use tanning lotions which allowed uv to bake you deeper and darker.

  • @mrnosaj71
    @mrnosaj71 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I was born in 1971, thing is we didn't see this as dangerous. No helmets on a bike was fine... if you wore one so what? Never wore seat belts but now i have a muscle reflex clicking one on. Hitchhiking rarely created crime, really. We didn't buy in to the paranoia of media. This was the true 1984.

  • @dad4ever-c90

    Before the federal drinking age was set at 21 in the U.S., it was set on the state level and varied. So we drove across state lines where we could purchase and drink alcohol LEGALLY at 18. But then we drove home impaired! The inherent danger sounds obvious. But, when you are buzzed, you are not usually aware of just how much you are affected. Most likely, you aren't even worried about being caught. Thankfully, I survived those years without incident.

    I'm wondering why this video is titled dangerous things of the 1980s? These are things that were done from the beginning of time up through the 80s. It should have been named dangerous things that people did up until the 1990s. 😅

    Went to high school and college during the 80s. I don't recall a lot of hitchhiking, non protected tanning, tanning beds were rare in my area and I never knew anyone that used one, smoking was starting go on its way out by the mid 80s.....anyway, it felt like the video was all about how stupid and endangered we all were back in the barbaric 80s.
