10:24 actually, companies DID know about the dangers of radiation - they just didn't tell customers or employees that. Look up The Radium Girls - factory workers who painted glowing radium paint on watches for soldiers. They were specifically instructed to make the tip of the brush pointy by using their lips and teeth. So many of them came down with jaw cancer.
Yuck. Guess what? Radium sucks at glowing anyway, whereas *_Neon_* does a much better job, and is inert. But wait, "Neon Girls" would of been way ahead of its' time, like many other things that happened/were given life between 1860 and 1960, like the non-subtle Gibson Explorer, to name one such example.
As if labeling it like “the fountain of youth” wasn’t dumb enough! It makes me want to say, “Are you trying to make yourself a god or something? Because that NEVER ends well!”

My grandfather, born in 1882, left his education and entered an apprenticeship at age 12. In the 1940's, he thought it was disgraceful that 16-year-old boys were still in school.
School curriculum varied much more back then. Technically, a child could learn all high school and a college degree by 14-16 IF school were structured year round and minimal fluff.
He was right. The eighth grade is all most of Americans need, to start with. The smart ones will continue their education on their own, which is the most efficient way to learn.
Stories like this do make me empathize with the older generation. I can’t imagine living in a time when drug use, physical assault, and a “suck it up” mentality were rampant. Though I can’t help but to roll my eyes when jaded and self-aggrandizing older people talk about how weak the younger generation is for caring about our health “We were beaten as kids and we turned out great!” Yes, because being emotionally detached and abusive to your own family due to not breaking the cycle of abuse, is the true mark of a well-adjusted adult.
Funny how human beings can never find the middle ground on anything...so then children were Abused and now children are complete Brats and fall apart at a boo hmmm
@@username-mk4qv Being from the older generation, I understand your point. I'm extremely glad society is more aware of issues involving mental health and different types of abuse that really was sadly overlooked "in my day." HOWEVER, I do believe in balance because there is far too much information available at EVERYONE'S fingertips today. There really is value in putting in extra work.... especially academically. Penmanship seems to be something of the past. There is a different type of appreciation for "stuff" when you work to get it. For example, if it's winter and your house seems chilly, there's another level of gratitude if you have to go outside and get firewood instead of simply turning up the thermostat. In school, if you have a paper due, you go to the library (if your parents couldn't afford a set of encyclopedias), find the correct encyclopedia, write the paper long hand, spend your study hall time typing it... on a typewriter.....use correction strips to backspace and retype ONE misplaced letter, put it in a folder and turn in your hardcopy. No automatic spell check either. Having said that, I will say this..... I was sexually, emotionally, mentally and physically abused as a child.... and had no voice. I'm glad we as a people have come so far. Bless you 🥰🥰
Hopefully, people know the reason why the Flintstones *stopped* advertising Winston: Pebbles. Once the baby was delivered, those types of ads didn't seem appropriate anymore to the producers, so the sponsors switched to Welch's grape juice and One-A-Day vitamins (The same people behind Flintstones vitamins.)
@@sakunaruful ... Actually, no; the reason why those exist at all is because Post needed a better advertising mascot for competition sake, but the cereals existed before being associated with the Flintstones, but were not doing well at all in the sales. Almost like how Crystal Pepsi went down (which sucks because I like Crystal Pepsi).
Correction: romance did exist but if do people wanted to get together they would have to get their families permission. Thing were never as simple as they seem. Some people fell in love while othet just were almost like co-workers

To anyone wondering, there’s a reason why the FDA took so long to respond to heroin. Namely, from their formation up until 1913 and despite their name, they weren’t actually formed to regulate food and drugs. They were formed to deal with the sweatshop conditions in Detroit factories. Considering this was before things like the Triangle Waistshirt Fire, that’s saying a lot about how horrendous those conditions were. Side note; none of this is very shocking. Stuff like arsenic and heroine for medicinal purposes is within the same era as the disgusting practices for Hollywood beauty most infamously shown with Judy Garland. Jesus, that woman’s story is disgusting when you look into it.

My maternal grandmother was forced to be sterilized by the government as she was illiterate & my grandfather was blind (he could read braille) & in order to get government assistance, they forced her to be sterilized as they already had two daughters! Otherwise, both of my grandparents were white, so it goes to show that these eugenics programs also affected the families who were poor and/or disabled! My mother & I are both convinced my grandmother had an undiagnosed learning disability which is why she was illiterate, as I myself am on the autism spectrum! Ironically, both my mother & aunt have no disabilities & both graduated from high school (my aunt can even speak Spanish and served in the Air Force)! My grandparents would go on to act as foster parents!
I'm so sorry to hear your grandmother went through that. But that's beautiful that she went on to be a foster parent. It's haunting how close some of these draconian policies can be to our families and friends. Also, greetings from a fellow person on the spectrum!
There's a huge misconception about dress in the 20s and historical clothing in general. Most men did not wear suit jackets. Most men who would be photographed did. Remember photos were still pretty new and pretty expensive. It was a special occasion to have a photograph taken and something people wanted to look their absolute best for and many people simply could not afford to have them.
Yeah, I often see people saying stuff like, "_This_ is how folks dressed in the 1400s!" and show pictures of wealthy, powerful lords and ladies because they're the ones who could afford having portraits made. Of course I feel like people generally have a decent idea of how the average late Medieval person dressed, but maybe that's my bias. It probably is, actually. Now I'm wondering how common, say, powdered wigs really were in the early Colonial Period, or if I actually know how common people in the Warring States dressed. And all that's without mentioning that different people dress differently even in the same time and place. I'm not sure not every woman in the 20s dressed like a "flapper," even if it was a common trend.
@@TristenSarelvunpretty much only rich women in their twenties (and in The Twenties) did the flapper thing. It was only THE most fashionable and ultramodern girls who did it. The approximate equivalent today would be Instagram Influencer (but only if you had more than a million subscribers).
We have a copy of a photo my great-grandparents who had a short honeymoon at the beach. It's clearly posed, both look stiff and formal and my great-grandfather even looks a little uncomfortable, with his straw hat at a jaunty angle. I love that old photo, but I don't think they went around dressed to the nines all the time -- especially at the beach!
@@daffers2345 They did, as late as the 1970’s my grandfather would wear flannel trousers and a sports jacket to go to the seaside. My grandma would wear a dress and cardigan. I have a photograph of them on a beach in Cornwall dresed as I have described. I was dressed in jeans and a T-shirt. I was a child in the 1960’s and I remember everyone coming onto the beach in the same clothes that they wore during a normal day. Casual wear as we know it now didn’t exist.
The phrase "spare the rod, spoil the child" originates from the Bible, specifically from the book of Proverbs 13:24 in the King James Version, which states: "He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes." The "rod" in this context symbolizes guidance, discipline, or correction, rather than physical punishment. It suggests that proper discipline and guidance are essential for a child's development, but it doesn't necessarily advocate for harsh or abusive treatment. Much like a rod was used to guide the ox.
I'm sure you know that when you quote a life expectancy of 50, you're aware that it's that low because of the high infant mortality rate. If you don't count children dying before age 2, the life expectancy was actually around 65.
People are also weirdly asleep on just how much work and money is being poured into recreating this exact environment for virtually no reason, other than it was the heyday of klan fundamentalism. For example he neglected to mention the sudden rise of corporal punishment and child labor renewals in American red states, as well as their never ending war on women's rights and regulatory agencies. They literally want everything to be like it was a hundred years ago.
Astrid Lindgren wasn't a fan of corporal punishment. In fact, she once wrote about a pastor's wife she had met. The lady's little boy had done something bad and for the first time in his life had to go find a switch for his mother to punish him with. After being gone for a long time the little boy came back crying with a rock in his hand and said: "Mama! I couldn't find a switch, but here's a rock you can throw at me!" EDIT: The lady and her little boy had a cry together and she gave up corporal punishment entirely. Realising that your child thinks you WANT to hurt them is a rather horrifying experience.
Oh... Oh, my god. Wow. That just breaks my heart reading that. I could never hurt a child. I could try and try, but in the end, I would never be able to bring myself to bring real harm to one. Children are supposed to be cared for, nourished and given affection through their lives, not harmed, neglected and with an empty belly.
I remember a story from my mother's childhood. There was a mentally disabled girl in her elementary school class and she was physically punished several times a day for basically no other reason than existing as a mentally disabled child.
My dad grew up in austrailia is 62 now and vividly remembers that schools had corporal punishment like the paddle with holes punched through it to make it go faster and hurt harder
"So how was your trip to Singapore?" "It's crazy, I got arrested while visiting the resort" "Must have done something bonkers, what did you do?" "I chewed gum" "Oh, ok"
If memory serves, there was an incident where someone spat their used gum out and it ended up in a subway's door mechanism causing some serious grief and so they decided to ban gum altogether instead of punishing people for spitting it out somewhere other than a trashcan.

When you discussed Radium usage in products, it reminded me of the story of Eban Byers who was a socialite who consumed Radithor (radioactive water) many times a day for several years. Soon, his jaw fell out and he would soon pass. Later, they checked his grave and learned that it would be radioactive for centuries. The image of him without his jaw is online and honestly, it gives a terrifying representation of health in the 1920/30s
You mentioned mercury being used in cosmetics. It was also used as a treatment for syphilis. Bichloride of mercury came as little coffin-shaped tablets. You ground up a tablet, added some water to turn it into a paste, then applied it to your lesions. Yayy!
Oh schools in Portugal had something similar to Australia! Except they used a small metal spoon-like instrument, it had the handle and then a circular "head" - the part that was supposed to hit the hand of the child - with 5 holes in it. Or they used wooden rules. It was used to "correct" misbehaviour, or as a punishment for wrong answers, bad grades, not having homework done, etc. My mum still caught this "method" in school, thankfully I never did.
20:11 you know the guy who actually invented the seatbelt could’ve packed in it and made millions but he made it mandatory and law to have a seatbelt in your car doing so he saved millions of lives
And another thing for #2, Volvo engineer Nils Bohlin invented the modern 3-point seatbelt we see in every car today. Instead of patenting it and profiting off it til the end of time, Volvo opened up the patent so that any car manufacturer can use it. The reasoning for this was that the patent was too significant not to share, according to Volvo, and their instincts were right. Volvo has saved millions of lives by doing this.
I can agree with the idea that corporal punishment was used far more than it should have been. But at the same time there are some situations where corporal punishment may be a good thing. Usually something very severe, for instance safety related. Sure it leaves a mark on the child, but that is kind of the point, it's effective at changing a behavior drastically in a very short time. But using physical punishment often reduces the impact of it when it's actually important, also it doesn't need to be severe at all to get the point across, it's only valuable because of it's shock value. For instance if your child keeps on running out in the road and you have tried other methods to get them to stop then physical punishment may be what you need to resort to, it's better than getting hit by a car.
If you need to strike a child, you suck as a parent. There's no excuse for using violence against anyone, least of all a child. I raised a kid and never hit him, and I taught him to not do dangerous things non-violently.
I don't think it'll be long b4 smacking lessons come out in parenting classes there's a difference between smacking and beating just look how they're not children just bullying bratty lil' turds over intitled mistaking themselves 4 something important when not even any proven worth at all smacks are no difference between a good momma cat nipping the kittens ear. And we are only part of the animal kingdom. Ain't it funny when even a cat is better than some humans with their "soft parenting"
Seatbelts were required in American cars in 1965. I had a 1964 Impala which had none from the factory. I also remember my doctor smoking in his office while he was talking to my mother after examining me. That was the late 1950's.
13:26 that’s the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen. Most couples either can't even consider a theoretical situation or joke about it to the point you wonder why they're still together. But that was a mature and sweet way to speak of it.
When I started school in 1970, it was still legal to paddle children in my part of the US. I remember watching a boy get paddled by my teacher and being horrified. This was the same teacher who made me walk around school all day in just my shirt because Mother sent me to school in pants and girls weren't allowed to wear pants in 1971 in school. (The shirt covered my panties but just barely, I was beyond mortified.)
Girls might not have been allowed to wear pants in your school, but not school in general. Girls wore pants to school sometimes when I was in high school from 1967 to 1971.
I agree! As Spanish is phonetic or very graphemic! There are visual aids aka. H like in Ha! It serves to be a visual aid as who wants to confuse A with Ha?
As the Latin letters are nicely readable. In Japan, Korea, China, and so on, you have to also learn reading what may sometimes be nutshelled as kanji/hiragana.
@@ExtremeWreck The problem with English is that... You are dealing with a written language with no improvements in using diacritics at all. So from a Germanic language point of view. This is what we call " beyond stupid ". The Germanic vocabulary itself has problems as you are left with silent GH's, but the way English rises vowels when conjugating vowels leaves you with a problem of ɛ -> ɪ or i a -> /ej/ wtf With some accents like mine where that vowel count of 14 in the standard is a 20 due a sound shift. :X Due to the accent already having unround vs. round happening leading to rhoticism. Leading to all words with OO a guessing game. Hoop, goose, book, took, foot, or wood! Don't really rhyme, the oo's all have different quality ( length) and wrong vowels galore! >:X So when I see "oo" I can't help but curl or say " Just use the IPA to describe English vowels you tongue-tied son of a gun! " I cringe when I see it. So more than 2000 years of sound changes! French influence by removing æ and two ð and þ from the alphabet. This was one part of the problem as you lost a way to tell if a sound is voiceless or voiced except memorization. The names of English vowels are butchered beyond belief of the great vowel shift and also should mention the Germanic language part again? That means you are forcing more than 14~20 sounds in "diphthong graphs" and "monophthong letters" to play double duty, triple duty, or worse! English has no need for QU, C maybe, due to absurd amounts of romance vocabulary, but QU is useless when it could be simply KW! Learning to read Spanish, Italian, and even Portuguese is more straight forward. Portuguese has the problems of being a stress timed language, so reduction of sounds is fairly... Predictable and clear, thanks to being mostly graphemic, a spelling reform, but left with just an irregular X! Like in "exacto" vs. "xisto". Z acting like S also. English's vocabulary also kind of puts it in a really bad position, the worst position for any language. So unlike Swedish or German or even French... English uses too much Latin vocabulary and too little Germanic. So word irregularities are beyond spot on. Leading to you have words with proto-umlauts being written clashing with French words. This can be seen with words like beet vs. beat... The beet vegetable is "betan" in Swedish, but in English the sound shifted! Also the early writing of Germanic languages had an E over the letter before it switched to umlauts. Also English takes from NORDIC and WEST GERMANIC cores of vocabulary, literally like sandwiched with words from both sides of the Germanic family tree. Leading to even worse spelling, and how those once -ig endings becoming simply /i/ as Swedish doesn't seem to pronounce it, English's pronunciation reminds me more of Nordic languages than West Germanic except /z/, and voiced sounds beyond common. Though the written form's biggest sin is etymological spelling and history in the same script. CH being very irregular, with 4 sounds, but 3 common! Lichen, Lich, chivalry, arch ( ch = /k/ ) WTF Silent GH's or /f/, maybe /p/ A's being irregular as the price of losing one letter leads to confusion! No digraph for french sounds in words! NO LOGIC TO E'S THANKS TO FRENCH BULL**** English lost most inflection due to sound mergers! I swear a new common mistake is confusing A for AN, Or speakers of English saying Woman, and Women the same? WTF Spanish speakers have it easier learning their language's written form than English, Italian is logical. English grammar is basically simplified nordic grammar with some flavor notes of West Germanic, and the occasional latin. Most speakers got the benefit for having a handfull of loan words, ENGLISH is plagued due to French invasion BS. So one working with their own language's core vocabulary doesn't save from illogical silent letters or confusing spelling. All of this could be avoided with logical digraphs, accent marks for both letters and vowels to deal with historical BS, and have umlauts and rings. Double vs. Single letters! Know when to schwa and reduce ( lots of content vs. I am content )To know when a sound becomes fronted, rounded, unrounded, and nasal. As nasal happens in my accent when reducing verbs in their past participle on average or just reducing words like won't. With some even worse stress-timed language problems. Leaving some vocabulary an absolute nightmare that don't resemble the standard.
I’ve also heard voice actor Maurice LaMarche testify that he used to be a smoker, and although he quit smoking, it limited his range, where eventually he couldn’t do higher pitched voices anymore.
Sadly, corporal punishment, most commonly in the form of paddling, is still both legal and prevalent in many of the Southern U.S. states. *Paddling:* A spanking in which a flat piece of wood with a handle on one end (which is called a paddle) is used as the implement. Named after being shaped in a similar way to various sports paddles such as ping pong paddles and paddleball paddles. Because NO teachers' supply shops sell spanking paddles, nearly all paddles used by school faculty members were built by high school students in wood shop classes; the remaining paddles are old fraternity or sorority paddles.
I was also told by a native of North Carolina that if you did something bad, you were made to go out and cut your own switch, and one that did not break upon striking you. That got the message home to behave yourself and mind your elders.
as a 60 yr. old kids today are far more out of control and disrespectful in general but when parents use Foul language towards those same kids it's no wonder as to the continuing fall of our morals and social cohesion
No, eugenics nowadays is not consensual. Coercion is not consent; my mum got bullied and shamed to by medical professionals for refusing the tests, given actual false information about downsyndrome (she knew it was BS because she's a teacher for downs people and has a degree in caring for people with disabilities.) as well as this, in the UK abortion of a downs child is legal (and actively encouraged.) up until birth. People have been asked, on THEIR DUE DATE, one of the most vulnerable positions possible and have had plenty of time to consider their desicion; have been asked to abort a downs child and had their choice questioned and shamed. That's not consensual or ethical in any way, it's abuse. Not to mention forced sterilisation still happens; with a judge' permission, it's actually still legal to sterilise a disabled person one is a guardian of without the persons permission in america in 31 states- and disproportionately affects black women. In some US states they also offer people shorter jail sentences if they 'agree' to sterilisation. There is also systemic LGBT forced sterilisation in many countries and what's being done to uigher people in china too. It's not a thing of the past. Pressuring someone, coercing them, or withholding rights and medical care on the condition someone makes a certain choice is NOT consent. I know you always seem like a very well-meaning and kind youtuber, so I don't think you were aware of behind-closed-doors situations like this, but for such a sensitive subject you should do more research on it before condoning it..
"Why does Europe have such low rates of developmental disabilities compared to the US?" Well now you know. Ngl a lot of folks who claim to be "pro-choice" in practice really aren't. They're just anti-choice in the opposite direction, wanting mandatory abortion in certain cases. Maybe, just maybe, we should make it easier to raise children who are developmentally disabled instead with better social programs. While, of course, allowing folks to make their own decisions on their pregnancy. It's complicated. And also complicated by the material conditions in the world.
Did your mom end up having your sibling with down syndrome? Or was that you the docs were discouraging her from having? I support the right to an abortion, but I hate eugenics.
That would indeed be terrible to see coerced sterilisation or pregnancy termination. But each doctor's behaviour will vary based on location. Here in Australia for example, early screening is available so doctors attempt to offer the information to mothers early, and often encourage them to take time to make a thoughtful decision. The mother's well-being is likely given priority. The doctor will probably have in mind that the mother may not realise they *may* be required to spend the rest of their lives taking care of their dependent child if their child has a mental handicap such as Down Syndrome. I don't know the minds of every doctor, but knowing my personal doctor friend, that is probably what they would be thinking. While I do give my opinion in this video, I encourage you to make your own decisions on what's "right." But what I'm trying to make sure is that the decision of what to do with their body is left to the mother. As I do believe controlling other people's bodies is legitimately hurting people. It could also very much be seen as coersion trying to convince a mother that her already made choice to terminate the pregnancy is morally wrong or a "sin." So it's indeed a complicated matter. But what matters most to me is that the decision is left to the mother. "It should be your decision whether you continue your kind or not."
Wild how people refer to some of this stuff as the “good” old days. Just goes to show how nostalgia (and a bit of historical revisionism) can blind some people…

22:28 back in the 90s I remember there being small glass rooms in restaurants in malls for those who didn't smoke. Then during the early 2000s smokers were stuffed in there instead.

History Teacher Strider: Howdy! Today's lesson is about the crisis of the 3rd century! Nin darling care to explain to the students what the crisis was? Nin in the voice she uses for TH-cam: The crisis of the 3rd century, was a destabilizing event for the Roman Empire. It started when Emperor Severus Alexander was killed by his own troops, and ended with the establishment of the Tetrarchy. 😊
As someone who grew up in the 21st century, the fact that seatbelts are a newer trend is insane to me. My mom says that they weren't really the norm back in the day. With that said, one thing I've always wondered is why school buses don't have them. I'd always get jostled and tossed around on the bus, however I have fortunately not been in a school bus accident.
School buses are exempt from NHTSA and EPA regulations. Here in Miami we used leaded fuels in all our gas bus fleet until the 90's because it was cheaper. "Schoolies" are not recommended for RV conversions because they have little or no crash protection.
I always wondered that too. The best answer I got was that buses are so huge that they generally take out other cars and don't have to stop suddenly. But I never found that a very satisfying answer 😆
13:25-13:30 Aww, I hope that never happens, Josh, but you and Nims happiness will always be our concern, even if we can't see it! 😊 16:10 - 16:14 Considering they leave Timmy alone with a sadistic babysitter on a regular basis, the coal mines would be a pleasant thing for Timmy and something that his parents would do.
I got into a car accident when I was 18 years old and it absolutely would have killed me if I didn't have my seatbelt on. I'm really glad it's now mandatory to have them on even if people find them annoying.
I'm an 80s Baby. Seatbelt Safety became WIDELY advocated during the 1980s. I was there. Very Very FEW people complained about Seatbelts. Back then, We called them "Safetybelt" and had TONS of PSA's about Buckling Up and Drunk Driving. As well the "Baby On Board" Bumper.
It is a good idea but it should not be the law. I am happy to report that many states have no helmet law and some have repealed it. Seat belts and air bags are not appropriate in all situations. In some accidents they kill people. I wear my seatbelt but I have unplugged the air bags in my car. I will not have a bomb in my steering wheel or in the car I am hauling my grandchildren. As an engineer I understand the dangers and damage the bags can do. They have killed children. One cut and burned me. I could have lost my eye. No thanks.
and in the accident i was in, if i hadnt been sent thru the windshield i would have died when my car rolled off into the ditch and crushed the cab area like a pop can.
And there were smoking seat sections in commercial airplanes in the 80s / 90s. These divisions of spaces for smoking and non-smoking were as effective as saying, "In order to keep the water clean, you can only pee at one end of the swimming pool."
As late as the 2000s, there were dedicated smoking rooms in many English pubs. There was the Bar area and the Lounge area. One would be smoking, the other not.
Being pale meant that you never went out in the sun---you weren't a farm worker or someone else who had to work outside in the sun. When most people came to work in offices & factories, a tan meant you can spend your days at the pool or on the tennis court.
7:08 I’m a little surprised Strider didn’t dive more into the Bible verse that kept appearing through this section. 🤔 As a practicing Catholic, I am familiar with this passage, and I feel that it’s important that I clarify the meaning to that passage and the story preceding it is NOT to promote physical punishment. Rather, the purpose is to illustrate the consequences of failing to teach children that misbehavior comes with consequences that will outweigh whatever immediate gratification they get from it (thereby inadvertently encouraging such bad behavior).
Did you read the words in the Bible? It is a shame that God's words have been misunderstood for around 2000 years. Amazing how various stories in the Bible took on different meanings in the 20th and 21st centuries. Perhaps God is not as good at presenting his his guidance as some religious leaders would have us believe. Are all the people who accepted the classic meaning of the stories in the Bible condemned to hell for eternity?
I'm glad that cars these days have seatbelts, airbags, automatic transmission, antilock brakes, disc brakes, power steering, and back-up cameras. You forgot to mention that pencils used to use lead instead of graphite and that Coca-Cola originally had cocaine in it.
Automatic or manual, all transmissions have clutch parts, and if the drivetrain is appropriate, a driveshaft. Only difference is that in an automatic transmission, the clutch is engaged and the accelerator disengaged/reengaged at set intervals. Automatic transmissions cost between twenty and one hundred fifty percent more than manual transmissions for repairs on average, depending on car model, wear, and so on. Coca-Cola still does, depending on where you get it from. Pencils used to use a lead-carbon compound. I forget what it's called off the top of my head, but it's not one hundred percent lead, it would smear otherwise since lead is a soft metal that has a melting point of about 170 degrees or so (Celsius).
I’ve often wondered why no car manufacturers have used the beautiful old designs from the 20s and 30s but just used modern engineering and computing power and safety etc for the actual construction. I love those old cars with their elegant design.

Well it’s legal in households in all fifty states. Only four ban it in private schools. And the thing is that corporal punishment seems to be broadly popular among parents (at least middle and lower class ones). There is a general consensus among experts against it, but that would probably be dismissed with a similar air of academic mistrust as affects other issues here. I guess I was lucky my mother never bothered with it with either of her children, at least to my own memory. Guess the main takeaway is _Ingraham v. Wright_ was a mistake and either Blackmun or Stewart must have had an off day on 19 April 1977.
I the US, installation of seat belts were required in cars starting in the 1960s. The USE seat belts became mandatory by drivers and their passengers in the 1980, earlier in some states. Both of these advances were pushed by insurance companies.
Not disciplining a child is the problem today and why the generation coming up has no respect. I was spanked plenty of times. I never feared my parents. I respected my parents and learned right from wrong .
I’m from the USA, and my aunt died in 1977 when she was hit by a drunk driving truck driver. Her car did not have seatbelts, and drunk driving was not federally illegal at the time. This was before I was born so I never got to meet her.
My Mother had this large thick wooden Trivet that she used to set hot dishes on, one day when my older sister's really acted up, she got the idea of calling it a super paddle. All she had to do was threaten to pull it out if any of us misbehaved.
Family lore has it that my dad's great uncle or great great uncle was a Hatter, which required mercury, and he did in fact go quite mad. I'd laugh react, but it's more of a shock response.
More specifically: the FDA was created because some guy wrote a book that got everyone concerned about poor meat creation. _The Jungle_ is quite a read.
The thing about "smoking being a sign for women's independence" during the 1920s was likely due to smoking in public being seen as a traditionally masculine activity so the tobacco companies targeted their products towards women who wished to break gender norms.
I find it amazing that you are expanding your horizons, Strider! Fun story from my father's side of the family: When Prohibition went into law in 1920 (prohibiting the sale of alcohol), my great grandparents and their neighbors made moonshine in a bathtub! My great grandmother lived to the age of 102 when she passed away in 2007 and to be honest, I wished I stepped into her shoes and experience what it was like to be in Prohibition America.
Hatters used to line their, well, hats with fur treated with mercury. Due to confined spaces (and exposure to fumes) they went mad, bringing to life the term "Mad as a hatter" (later shortened to "Mad Hatter").
Funny, as I was taught the term came from the process of manufacturing hats back in the day used a solution of mercury in the processing of the felt. Mad as a Hatter is describing the people who made the hats, a "hatter," not the people wearing the hats.
My pet peeve is when people refer to life expectancy averages through history as people dropping dead at an early age. When instead those statistics reflect progress in reducing infant mortality rates which is what causes the life average expectancy to drag down to a lower number than it is in modern age.
This is one of the reasons why Strider is one of my favorite TH-camrs (specifically when it comes to topics like these) and I love how his lists is no longer exclusive to tv shows/movies.
As a little kid, my dad used to blow smoke in my face and laugh. I remember my mom fixing a tossed salad with a cigarette in her mouth, or standing over a skillet on the stove and smoking. And dad would use his hands when he talked, and often times I got cigarette burns on my arms if he wasn’t careful. I always had to ride in the car full of smoke, and the house was constantly full of smoke. I probably smoked a pack of cigarettes a day, without smoking. If I complained, I was punished for being disrespectful. Today, I have COPD. Thanks Mom and Dad!
It's a scientifically proven fact, if u don't get up n move, ur not expanding ur lungs n u can get copd. Me n my husband smoked n none of our kids have any breathing problems but they were n still active. My grandson has asthma n copd. N he has never been around cigg smoke. Go figure
I had asthma as a kid directly because of my dad and grandparents smoking, and now after my mom knows this her new husband chain smokes in the car and when they take me to work he still smokes and I’m coughing in the back, but it’s okay! The window is open!
I think re: physical punishment, there are actually a lot of nuances that get lost. Like, my mom would spank us; it didn't scar me in the least but it sure did tell me when I had crossed a line, cos she only did it over bigger things, and she always told us why we're getting spanked - it was never just "do what is at it I'll hit you". She almost never hit us hard enough that it actually hurt. I was fine. My youngest sister thought it was hilarious and would waggle her bum at my mom when she'd threaten a spank - so my mom stopped spanking her and did other stuff to get her in line. My nephew got so depressed for throat time he was spanked, my sister never did it again. My youngest brother refused to listen to anything as a small child and would run off so often it was actually dangerous to him, and we tried everything to no avail - but one light snack on the behind and he never did it again. And in contrast to how we did it in my family , my aunt would sometimes hit my cousins with a wooden spoon and they all hated it. My mom got whacked with a ruler in school too, and hated it - both those things are way harsher than what she herself did. But there's so much variation in how this is done, and in the response of kids as individuals, that I really think just lumping it all together isn't a great way to study it.
Strider may have a field day with the woeful censorship given to the English releases of Ojamajo Doremi back in the day. The fools there had to not broadcast a very heartwarming ghost story simply because *it had a ghost,* out of fears on horror and religious connotations.
I definitely liked the cartoon videos but it's fun to see, say, dangerous rollercoasters, and banned toys, and banned legos even thought it's still fun watching the videos about cartoons.
As a kid here in the US, I remember watching The Incredible Crash Test Dummies PSAs on how safety belts save lives. Back then those PSAs creeped me out; but now I look back on them with fondness and nostalgia and even find them entertaining, especially since one of them (Larry) is voiced by Lorenzo Music (the original voice of Garfield). Also- Belt up! Don't be a dummy! (Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden in their Incredible Crash Test Dummies PSA).
The “spare the rod” quote was in the Bible long before that poem was written… “Those who spare the rod hate their children, but those who love them are diligent to discipline them” (Proverbs 13:24).
I've heard, however (and it makes perfect sense) that the "rod" wasn't meant as something with which to beat someone, but rather referred to the "rod" used by shepherds to gently guide sheep away from something ("They rod and thy staff, they comfort me"). In other words, a child left to him/herself without GUIDANCE would surely be spoiled, but guiding a child properly (also mentioned in the New Testament) will help the child behave properly. Of course, I could be completely wrong; you can make the Bible say anything you want if you misuse it. Still, this is the best explanation I've ever heard.
With a lot of these content producers its irritating to sit through the BS/no research then once the propaganda is ignored (a good chunk of this video) there is really nothing left.
@@daffers2345“He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him” (Proverbs 13:24) Once we read the scripture, it's pretty clear it means punishment. A staff just doesn't fit in there. I love believing the bible because when it comes to something like this, the choice is easy, I just believe it in spite of these stats that supposedly speak negatively of corporal punishment. Then I look around at how the youth acts today over how it was say 60 of my 70 years ago, and I believe that bible even more.
@@jackm6307 Gotta agree on both fronts, He has a track record of being a strict parental figure for our own good. A century ago when nuclear families were the societal norm there were things such as common courtesy and common sense; but now with a generation of single parents all I'm seeing is ungrateful entitled idiots.
I envy kids who grew up with spanking being outlawed. I have autism and was hit so many times for "misbehaving", with hands, with wooden spoons.. you name it and I've grown up not "better for it" but fearful and expecting pain now when people get mad or frustrated at me, and I go into fight mode. So really all it did was teach me to distrust people and cause pain to them first by lashing out before Im cornered and hurt. It also caused me to be fearful of my parents, even as an adult I DO NOT trust them behind me at all.
I am a nerd and itrovert, probably with autism. I am against every phycial contact. Hugging someone or beating someone doesnt mean any difference for me. Just leave me alone, I cant even stand when people come closer than 40 cm to me.
To add onto the radium craze of the 20's: there were a few incidents that gave people pause when it came to radiation poisoning. 1.) Eben Byers: He drank so much radithor that his jaw literally fell off, and his body disintegrated from the inside out. 2.) The Radium Girls: Teenagers and young women were working in a watch factory, and were told to lick the brushes of radium paint to apply onto said watches. This resulted in them slowly dying of radiation poisoning, and demanded the government to take notice.
"Controlling breeding is mostly illegal" I introduce to you, the US. Where you HAVE to have a kid if you get pregnant, whether or not you want one Edit to add: you can't choose to be sterilized unless you already have kids, too
@@Phantomphan613 Citation needed. I had a buddy get his tubes tied before getting married and having never had children in Oklahoma, one of the reddest of red states.
The guy that drank radium until his jaw fell off is scary, shotgun weddings and unequal marriages forced by family still happen btw this happened to my cousin there is still a shocking amount of grooming being normalised
"No TV. Movies Suck. I'm Here With My Gal. Shake your Hand, Kick Around. Wear a Suit to Breakfast. Underwear that Laces up. All Girls have a Guy's Haircut. Crank a Car to Make it Start. You will Die of Measles!"
Them being called "Flappers" had more to do with the dances popular at the time (and the clothing styles associated with what was considered "chic" and "modern") than anything else.

Sounds like granny likes to get jacked up ...
10:24 actually, companies DID know about the dangers of radiation - they just didn't tell customers or employees that. Look up The Radium Girls - factory workers who painted glowing radium paint on watches for soldiers. They were specifically instructed to make the tip of the brush pointy by using their lips and teeth. So many of them came down with jaw cancer.
Also a wide portion of the scientific community said to hold back. Even Edison called these companies wacky for being so liberal with use of radium.
Yuck.
Guess what? Radium sucks at glowing anyway, whereas *_Neon_* does a much better job, and is inert. But wait, "Neon Girls" would of been way ahead of its' time, like many other things that happened/were given life between 1860 and 1960, like the non-subtle Gibson Explorer, to name one such example.
As if labeling it like “the fountain of youth” wasn’t dumb enough! It makes me want to say, “Are you trying to make yourself a god or something? Because that NEVER ends well!”

Stories like this do make me empathize with the older generation. I can’t imagine living in a time when drug use, physical assault, and a “suck it up” mentality were rampant.
Though I can’t help but to roll my eyes when jaded and self-aggrandizing older people talk about how weak the younger generation is for caring about our health
“We were beaten as kids and we turned out great!”
Yes, because being emotionally detached and abusive to your own family due to not breaking the cycle of abuse, is the true mark of a well-adjusted adult.
It's the twitching that is going on as they say it that really sells it.
Funny how human beings can never find the middle ground on anything...so then children were Abused and now children are complete Brats and fall apart at a boo hmmm
@@username-mk4qv Being from the older generation, I understand your point. I'm extremely glad society is more aware of issues involving mental health and different types of abuse that really was sadly overlooked "in my day." HOWEVER, I do believe in balance because there is far too much information available at EVERYONE'S fingertips today. There really is value in putting in extra work.... especially academically. Penmanship seems to be something of the past. There is a different type of appreciation for "stuff" when you work to get it. For example, if it's winter and your house seems chilly, there's another level of gratitude if you have to go outside and get firewood instead of simply turning up the thermostat. In school, if you have a paper due, you go to the library (if your parents couldn't afford a set of encyclopedias), find the correct encyclopedia, write the paper long hand, spend your study hall time typing it... on a typewriter.....use correction strips to backspace and retype ONE misplaced letter, put it in a folder and turn in your hardcopy. No automatic spell check either. Having said that, I will say this..... I was sexually, emotionally, mentally and physically abused as a child.... and had no voice. I'm glad we as a people have come so far. Bless you 🥰🥰
Hopefully, people know the reason why the Flintstones *stopped* advertising Winston: Pebbles.

To anyone wondering, there’s a reason why the FDA took so long to respond to heroin. Namely, from their formation up until 1913 and despite their name, they weren’t actually formed to regulate food and drugs. They were formed to deal with the sweatshop conditions in Detroit factories. Considering this was before things like the Triangle Waistshirt Fire, that’s saying a lot about how horrendous those conditions were.
Side note; none of this is very shocking. Stuff like arsenic and heroine for medicinal purposes is within the same era as the disgusting practices for Hollywood beauty most infamously shown with Judy Garland. Jesus, that woman’s story is disgusting when you look into it.

My maternal grandmother was forced to be sterilized by the government as she was illiterate & my grandfather was blind (he could read braille) & in order to get government assistance, they forced her to be sterilized as they already had two daughters! Otherwise, both of my grandparents were white, so it goes to show that these eugenics programs also affected the families who were poor and/or disabled! My mother & I are both convinced my grandmother had an undiagnosed learning disability which is why she was illiterate, as I myself am on the autism spectrum! Ironically, both my mother & aunt have no disabilities & both graduated from high school (my aunt can even speak Spanish and served in the Air Force)! My grandparents would go on to act as foster parents!
I'm amazed how well your aunt and mother are doing!
Your mother, aunt, and grandmother are a testament to neurodiverse people.
I'm so sorry to hear your grandmother went through that. But that's beautiful that she went on to be a foster parent. It's haunting how close some of these draconian policies can be to our families and friends. Also, greetings from a fellow person on the spectrum!
Making sterilization a condition of receiving free money from the government, it's not force.

There's a huge misconception about dress in the 20s and historical clothing in general. Most men did not wear suit jackets. Most men who would be photographed did. Remember photos were still pretty new and pretty expensive. It was a special occasion to have a photograph taken and something people wanted to look their absolute best for and many people simply could not afford to have them.
Yeah, I often see people saying stuff like, "_This_ is how folks dressed in the 1400s!" and show pictures of wealthy, powerful lords and ladies because they're the ones who could afford having portraits made. Of course I feel like people generally have a decent idea of how the average late Medieval person dressed, but maybe that's my bias. It probably is, actually. Now I'm wondering how common, say, powdered wigs really were in the early Colonial Period, or if I actually know how common people in the Warring States dressed.
And all that's without mentioning that different people dress differently even in the same time and place. I'm not sure not every woman in the 20s dressed like a "flapper," even if it was a common trend.
Probably why it was also common (especially late 1800s) to have deceased individuals in the photos as well…
@@TristenSarelvunpretty much only rich women in their twenties (and in The Twenties) did the flapper thing. It was only THE most fashionable and ultramodern girls who did it. The approximate equivalent today would be Instagram Influencer (but only if you had more than a million subscribers).
We have a copy of a photo my great-grandparents who had a short honeymoon at the beach. It's clearly posed, both look stiff and formal and my great-grandfather even looks a little uncomfortable, with his straw hat at a jaunty angle. I love that old photo, but I don't think they went around dressed to the nines all the time -- especially at the beach!
@@daffers2345 They did, as late as the 1970’s my grandfather would wear flannel trousers and a sports jacket to go to the seaside. My grandma would wear a dress and cardigan. I have a photograph of them on a beach in Cornwall dresed as I have described. I was dressed in jeans and a T-shirt. I was a child in the 1960’s and I remember everyone coming onto the beach in the same clothes that they wore during a normal day. Casual wear as we know it now didn’t exist.
The phrase "spare the rod, spoil the child" originates from the Bible, specifically from the book of Proverbs 13:24 in the King James Version, which states: "He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes."
The "rod" in this context symbolizes guidance, discipline, or correction, rather than physical punishment. It suggests that proper discipline and guidance are essential for a child's development, but it doesn't necessarily advocate for harsh or abusive treatment. Much like a rod was used to guide the ox.
Very well said the extreme either way is sad
I'm sure you know that when you quote a life expectancy of 50, you're aware that it's that low because of the high infant mortality rate. If you don't count children dying before age 2, the life expectancy was actually around 65.
Many of my ancestors lived into their 90s.

People are also weirdly asleep on just how much work and money is being poured into recreating this exact environment for virtually no reason, other than it was the heyday of klan fundamentalism. For example he neglected to mention the sudden rise of corporal punishment and child labor renewals in American red states, as well as their never ending war on women's rights and regulatory agencies. They literally want everything to be like it was a hundred years ago.
Astrid Lindgren wasn't a fan of corporal punishment. In fact, she once wrote about a pastor's wife she had met. The lady's little boy had done something bad and for the first time in his life had to go find a switch for his mother to punish him with. After being gone for a long time the little boy came back crying with a rock in his hand and said: "Mama! I couldn't find a switch, but here's a rock you can throw at me!"
EDIT: The lady and her little boy had a cry together and she gave up corporal punishment entirely. Realising that your child thinks you WANT to hurt them is a rather horrifying experience.
Eeeeyiiiikes!
As a mom this hurts to hear. So awful😢
Oh... Oh, my god. Wow. That just breaks my heart reading that. I could never hurt a child. I could try and try, but in the end, I would never be able to bring myself to bring real harm to one. Children are supposed to be cared for, nourished and given affection through their lives, not harmed, neglected and with an empty belly.
That's a bit extreme... Like actual abuse.
Pavlovian treatment in its logical extreme.
I remember a story from my mother's childhood. There was a mentally disabled girl in her elementary school class and she was physically punished several times a day for basically no other reason than existing as a mentally disabled child.

When you discussed Radium usage in products, it reminded me of the story of Eban Byers who was a socialite who consumed Radithor (radioactive water) many times a day for several years. Soon, his jaw fell out and he would soon pass. Later, they checked his grave and learned that it would be radioactive for centuries.

You mentioned mercury being used in cosmetics. It was also used as a treatment for syphilis. Bichloride of mercury came as little coffin-shaped tablets. You ground up a tablet, added some water to turn it into a paste, then applied it to your lesions. Yayy!

Oh schools in Portugal had something similar to Australia! Except they used a small metal spoon-like instrument, it had the handle and then a circular "head" - the part that was supposed to hit the hand of the child - with 5 holes in it.

20:11 you know the guy who actually invented the seatbelt could’ve packed in it and made millions but he made it mandatory and law to have a seatbelt in your car doing so he saved millions of lives
If only he was a pharmaceutical inventor/executive.
And another thing for #2, Volvo engineer Nils Bohlin invented the modern 3-point seatbelt we see in every car today. Instead of patenting it and profiting off it til the end of time, Volvo opened up the patent so that any car manufacturer can use it. The reasoning for this was that the patent was too significant not to share, according to Volvo, and their instincts were right. Volvo has saved millions of lives by doing this.
I had no idea of that. That's really respectable of Volvo.
I can agree with the idea that corporal punishment was used far more than it should have been. But at the same time there are some situations where corporal punishment may be a good thing. Usually something very severe, for instance safety related. Sure it leaves a mark on the child, but that is kind of the point, it's effective at changing a behavior drastically in a very short time. But using physical punishment often reduces the impact of it when it's actually important, also it doesn't need to be severe at all to get the point across, it's only valuable because of it's shock value. For instance if your child keeps on running out in the road and you have tried other methods to get them to stop then physical punishment may be what you need to resort to, it's better than getting hit by a car.
If you need to strike a child, you suck as a parent.
There's no excuse for using violence against anyone, least of all a child.

Seatbelts were required in American cars in 1965. I had a 1964 Impala which had none from the factory. I also remember my doctor smoking in his office while he was talking to my mother after examining me. That was the late 1950's.

When I started school in 1970, it was still legal to paddle children in my part of the US. I remember watching a boy get paddled by my teacher and being horrified. This was the same teacher who made me walk around school all day in just my shirt because Mother sent me to school in pants and girls weren't allowed to wear pants in 1971 in school. (The shirt covered my panties but just barely, I was beyond mortified.)
Unfortunately, it's still legal in some states. 😞
Still common in Tennessee, at least the part I'm in
Girls might not have been allowed to wear pants in your school, but not school in general. Girls wore pants to school sometimes when I was in high school from 1967 to 1971.

Josh mispronouncing Spanish words is more hilarious than it should be
I agree! As Spanish is phonetic or very graphemic! There are visual aids aka. H like in Ha! It serves to be a visual aid as who wants to confuse A with Ha?

@@MaoRatto Plus Spanish in general is much easier to learn than the incomprehensible insanity that we call "English".
As the Latin letters are nicely readable. In Japan, Korea, China, and so on, you have to also learn reading what may sometimes be nutshelled as kanji/hiragana.
@@ExtremeWreck The problem with English is that...
You are dealing with a written language with no improvements in using diacritics at all.
So from a Germanic language point of view.
This is what we call " beyond stupid ".
The Germanic vocabulary itself has problems as you are left with silent GH's, but the way English rises vowels when conjugating vowels leaves you with a problem of
ɛ -> ɪ or i
a -> /ej/ wtf
With some accents like mine where that vowel count of 14 in the standard is a 20 due a sound shift. :X Due to the accent already having unround vs. round happening leading to rhoticism. Leading to all words with OO a guessing game. Hoop, goose, book, took, foot, or wood! Don't really rhyme, the oo's all have different quality ( length) and wrong vowels galore! >:X So when I see "oo" I can't help but curl or say " Just use the IPA to describe English vowels you tongue-tied son of a gun! " I cringe when I see it.
So more than 2000 years of sound changes!
French influence by removing æ and two ð and þ from the alphabet.
This was one part of the problem as you lost a way to tell if a sound is voiceless or voiced except memorization.
The names of English vowels are butchered beyond belief of the great vowel shift and also should mention the Germanic language part again? That means you are forcing more than 14~20 sounds in "diphthong graphs" and "monophthong letters" to play double duty, triple duty, or worse!
English has no need for QU, C maybe, due to absurd amounts of romance vocabulary, but QU is useless when it could be simply KW!
Learning to read Spanish, Italian, and even Portuguese is more straight forward. Portuguese has the problems of being a stress timed language, so reduction of sounds is fairly... Predictable and clear, thanks to being mostly graphemic, a spelling reform, but left with just an irregular X! Like in "exacto" vs. "xisto". Z acting like S also.
English's vocabulary also kind of puts it in a really bad position, the worst position for any language. So unlike Swedish or German or even French... English uses too much Latin vocabulary and too little Germanic. So word irregularities are beyond spot on.
Leading to you have words with proto-umlauts being written clashing with French words. This can be seen with words like beet vs. beat... The beet vegetable is "betan" in Swedish, but in English the sound shifted! Also the early writing of Germanic languages had an E over the letter before it switched to umlauts. Also English takes from NORDIC and WEST GERMANIC cores of vocabulary, literally like sandwiched with words from both sides of the Germanic family tree. Leading to even worse spelling, and how those once -ig endings becoming simply /i/ as Swedish doesn't seem to pronounce it, English's pronunciation reminds me more of Nordic languages than West Germanic except /z/, and voiced sounds beyond common.
Though the written form's biggest sin is etymological spelling and history in the same script.
CH being very irregular, with 4 sounds, but 3 common! Lichen, Lich, chivalry, arch ( ch = /k/ ) WTF
Silent GH's or /f/, maybe /p/
A's being irregular as the price of losing one letter leads to confusion!
No digraph for french sounds in words!
NO LOGIC TO E'S THANKS TO FRENCH BULL****
English lost most inflection due to sound mergers! I swear a new common mistake is confusing A for AN, Or speakers of English saying Woman, and Women the same? WTF
Spanish speakers have it easier learning their language's written form than English, Italian is logical. English grammar is basically simplified nordic grammar with some flavor notes of West Germanic, and the occasional latin. Most speakers got the benefit for having a handfull of loan words, ENGLISH is plagued due to French invasion BS. So one working with their own language's core vocabulary doesn't save from illogical silent letters or confusing spelling.
All of this could be avoided with logical digraphs, accent marks for both letters and vowels to deal with historical BS, and have umlauts and rings. Double vs. Single letters! Know when to schwa and reduce ( lots of content vs. I am content )To know when a sound becomes fronted, rounded, unrounded, and nasal. As nasal happens in my accent when reducing verbs in their past participle on average or just reducing words like won't. With some even worse stress-timed language problems. Leaving some vocabulary an absolute nightmare that don't resemble the standard.

"Smoking was advertised by doctors"
Ah, so that's why one of my uncle's, says his doctor told him to keep smoking
In the 1940s and 1950s, Doctors smoked like Chimney's.
He needs a new doctor.
In the 1920s, doctors advised pregnant women smoke. They thought it helped with anxiety.
Sadly, corporal punishment, most commonly in the form of paddling, is still both legal and prevalent in many of the Southern U.S. states.
*Paddling:* A spanking in which a flat piece of wood with a handle on one end (which is called a paddle) is used as the implement. Named after being shaped in a similar way to various sports paddles such as ping pong paddles and paddleball paddles. Because NO teachers' supply shops sell spanking paddles, nearly all paddles used by school faculty members were built by high school students in wood shop classes; the remaining paddles are old fraternity or sorority paddles.
I was also told by a native of North Carolina that if you did something bad, you were made to go out and cut your own switch, and one that did not break upon striking you. That got the message home to behave yourself and mind your elders.

No, eugenics nowadays is not consensual.
Coercion is not consent; my mum got bullied and shamed to by medical professionals for refusing the tests, given actual false information about downsyndrome (she knew it was BS because she's a teacher for downs people and has a degree in caring for people with disabilities.) as well as this, in the UK abortion of a downs child is legal (and actively encouraged.) up until birth. People have been asked, on THEIR DUE DATE, one of the most vulnerable positions possible and have had plenty of time to consider their desicion; have been asked to abort a downs child and had their choice questioned and shamed.
That's not consensual or ethical in any way, it's abuse.
Not to mention forced sterilisation still happens; with a judge' permission, it's actually still legal to sterilise a disabled person one is a guardian of without the persons permission in america in 31 states- and disproportionately affects black women. In some US states they also offer people shorter jail sentences if they 'agree' to sterilisation. There is also systemic LGBT forced sterilisation in many countries and what's being done to uigher people in china too. It's not a thing of the past.
Pressuring someone, coercing them, or withholding rights and medical care on the condition someone makes a certain choice is NOT consent.
I know you always seem like a very well-meaning and kind youtuber, so I don't think you were aware of behind-closed-doors situations like this, but for such a sensitive subject you should do more research on it before condoning it..

"Why does Europe have such low rates of developmental disabilities compared to the US?"
Well now you know. Ngl a lot of folks who claim to be "pro-choice" in practice really aren't. They're just anti-choice in the opposite direction, wanting mandatory abortion in certain cases. Maybe, just maybe, we should make it easier to raise children who are developmentally disabled instead with better social programs. While, of course, allowing folks to make their own decisions on their pregnancy. It's complicated. And also complicated by the material conditions in the world.
You realize that the mainstream search engines obviously will hide that because the USA has a huge ego
Did your mom end up having your sibling with down syndrome? Or was that you the docs were discouraging her from having? I support the right to an abortion, but I hate eugenics.
That would indeed be terrible to see coerced sterilisation or pregnancy termination. But each doctor's behaviour will vary based on location. Here in Australia for example, early screening is available so doctors attempt to offer the information to mothers early, and often encourage them to take time to make a thoughtful decision. The mother's well-being is likely given priority. The doctor will probably have in mind that the mother may not realise they *may* be required to spend the rest of their lives taking care of their dependent child if their child has a mental handicap such as Down Syndrome. I don't know the minds of every doctor, but knowing my personal doctor friend, that is probably what they would be thinking.
While I do give my opinion in this video, I encourage you to make your own decisions on what's "right." But what I'm trying to make sure is that the decision of what to do with their body is left to the mother. As I do believe controlling other people's bodies is legitimately hurting people. It could also very much be seen as coersion trying to convince a mother that her already made choice to terminate the pregnancy is morally wrong or a "sin." So it's indeed a complicated matter. But what matters most to me is that the decision is left to the mother. "It should be your decision whether you continue your kind or not."
Wild how people refer to some of this stuff as the “good” old days.

22:28 back in the 90s I remember there being small glass rooms in restaurants in malls for those who didn't smoke. Then during the early 2000s smokers were stuffed in there instead.

Nin in the voice she uses for TH-cam: The crisis of the 3rd century, was a destabilizing event for the Roman Empire. It started when Emperor Severus Alexander was killed by his own troops, and ended with the establishment of the Tetrarchy. 😊
As someone who grew up in the 21st century, the fact that seatbelts are a newer trend is insane to me. My mom says that they weren't really the norm back in the day.
With that said, one thing I've always wondered is why school buses don't have them. I'd always get jostled and tossed around on the bus, however I have fortunately not been in a school bus accident.
School buses are exempt from NHTSA and EPA regulations. Here in Miami we used leaded fuels in all our gas bus fleet until the 90's because it was cheaper.
"Schoolies" are not recommended for RV conversions because they have little or no crash protection.
I always wondered that too. The best answer I got was that buses are so huge that they generally take out other cars and don't have to stop suddenly. But I never found that a very satisfying answer 😆

I got into a car accident when I was 18 years old and it absolutely would have killed me if I didn't have my seatbelt on. I'm really glad it's now mandatory to have them on even if people find them annoying.
I'm an 80s Baby. Seatbelt Safety became WIDELY advocated during the 1980s. I was there. Very Very FEW people complained about Seatbelts. Back then, We called them "Safetybelt" and had TONS of PSA's about Buckling Up and Drunk Driving. As well the "Baby On Board" Bumper.
That's pretty cool. I was born in the 90s so it was already a big thing while I was growing up. It definitely saved my life
@@WickedDragonArtistry So grateful to hear that it did!
It is a good idea but it should not be the law. I am happy to report that many states have no helmet law and some have repealed it. Seat belts and air bags are not appropriate in all situations. In some accidents they kill people. I wear my seatbelt but I have unplugged the air bags in my car. I will not have a bomb in my steering wheel or in the car I am hauling my grandchildren. As an engineer I understand the dangers and damage the bags can do. They have killed children. One cut and burned me. I could have lost my eye. No thanks.
and in the accident i was in, if i hadnt been sent thru the windshield i would have died when my car rolled off into the ditch and crushed the cab area like a pop can.
Even in the 80s and 90s there was smoking area's in restaurants
Damn
Back in December 2023, I saw a smoking room at the Vienna airport.
should still be but it should be a complete deferent room
And there were smoking seat sections in commercial airplanes in the 80s / 90s. These divisions of spaces for smoking and non-smoking were as effective as saying, "In order to keep the water clean, you can only pee at one end of the swimming pool."
As late as the 2000s, there were dedicated smoking rooms in many English pubs.
There was the Bar area and the Lounge area. One would be smoking, the other not.

I’m a little surprised Strider didn’t dive more into the Bible verse that kept appearing through this section.
🤔
As a practicing Catholic, I am familiar with this passage, and I feel that it’s important that I clarify the meaning to that passage and the story preceding it is NOT to promote physical punishment. Rather, the purpose is to illustrate the consequences of failing to teach children that misbehavior comes with consequences that will outweigh whatever immediate gratification they get from it (thereby inadvertently encouraging such bad behavior).
Regardless, goes to show that there are so many times people ignore the rest of a paragraph so to prove their fallible points.

Did you read the words in the Bible? It is a shame that God's words have been misunderstood for around 2000 years. Amazing how various stories in the Bible took on different meanings in the 20th and 21st centuries. Perhaps God is not as good at presenting his his guidance as some religious leaders would have us believe. Are all the people who accepted the classic meaning of the stories in the Bible condemned to hell for eternity?

I'm glad that cars these days have seatbelts, airbags, automatic transmission, antilock brakes, disc brakes, power steering, and back-up cameras.
You forgot to mention that pencils used to use lead instead of graphite and that Coca-Cola originally had cocaine in it.
Oh damn the coca-cola cocaine issue completely slipped my mind! Would've been a good one 😆😆
Automatic or manual, all transmissions have clutch parts, and if the drivetrain is appropriate, a driveshaft. Only difference is that in an automatic transmission, the clutch is engaged and the accelerator disengaged/reengaged at set intervals. Automatic transmissions cost between twenty and one hundred fifty percent more than manual transmissions for repairs on average, depending on car model, wear, and so on.
Coca-Cola still does, depending on where you get it from.
Pencils used to use a lead-carbon compound. I forget what it's called off the top of my head, but it's not one hundred percent lead, it would smear otherwise since lead is a soft metal that has a melting point of about 170 degrees or so (Celsius).
"I'm glad that (...) back-up cameras."

In Michigan, Corporal Punishment was banned in 1989! Yet, there are states that still haven’t banned it yet! WTF is wrong with you guys?!?
Pretty insane
Well it’s legal in households in all fifty states. Only four ban it in private schools.
And the thing is that corporal punishment seems to be broadly popular among parents (at least middle and lower class ones). There is a general consensus among experts against it, but that would probably be dismissed with a similar air of academic mistrust as affects other issues here.
I guess I was lucky my mother never bothered with it with either of her children, at least to my own memory.
Guess the main takeaway is _Ingraham v. Wright_ was a mistake and either Blackmun or Stewart must have had an off day on 19 April 1977.
Really huh interesting that my home state was the first to ban it
Nothing wrong with corporal punishment
@@EssexAggiegrad2011All it did was cause the child to resent their family and hide shit better. it did absolutely nothing.

I the US, installation of seat belts were required in cars starting in the 1960s. The USE seat belts became mandatory by drivers and their passengers in the 1980, earlier in some states. Both of these advances were pushed by insurance companies.
Not disciplining a child is the problem today and why the generation coming up has no respect. I was spanked plenty of times. I never feared my parents. I respected my parents and learned right from wrong .
16:09 - why does that sound like something Timmy's parents would actually do 😂
I’m from the USA, and my aunt died in 1977 when she was hit by a drunk driving truck driver. Her car did not have seatbelts, and drunk driving was not federally illegal at the time. This was before I was born so I never got to meet her.

I find it amazing that you are expanding your horizons, Strider! Fun story from my father's side of the family: When Prohibition went into law in 1920 (prohibiting the sale of alcohol), my great grandparents and their neighbors made moonshine in a bathtub!
My great grandmother lived to the age of 102 when she passed away in 2007 and to be honest, I wished I stepped into her shoes and experience what it was like to be in Prohibition America.
Hatters used to line their, well, hats with fur treated with mercury. Due to confined spaces (and exposure to fumes) they went mad, bringing to life the term "Mad as a hatter" (later shortened to "Mad Hatter").
That's pretty crazy and sad
Funny, as I was taught the term came from the process of manufacturing hats back in the day used a solution of mercury in the processing of the felt. Mad as a Hatter is describing the people who made the hats, a "hatter," not the people wearing the hats.
It was mercury(II) nitrate, a souble salt, not elemental mercury.
My pet peeve is when people refer to life expectancy averages through history as people dropping dead at an early age. When instead those statistics reflect progress in reducing infant mortality rates which is what causes the life average expectancy to drag down to a lower number than it is in modern age.

As a little kid, my dad used to blow smoke in my face and laugh. I remember my mom fixing a tossed salad with a cigarette in her mouth, or standing over a skillet on the stove and smoking. And dad would use his hands when he talked, and often times I got cigarette burns on my arms if he wasn’t careful. I always had to ride in the car full of smoke, and the house was constantly full of smoke. I probably smoked a pack of cigarettes a day, without smoking. If I complained, I was punished for being disrespectful. Today, I have COPD. Thanks Mom and Dad!
It's a scientifically proven fact, if u don't get up n move, ur not expanding ur lungs n u can get copd. Me n my husband smoked n none of our kids have any breathing problems but they were n still active. My grandson has asthma n copd. N he has never been around cigg smoke. Go figure
I had asthma as a kid directly because of my dad and grandparents smoking, and now after my mom knows this her new husband chain smokes in the car and when they take me to work he still smokes and I’m coughing in the back, but it’s okay! The window is open!
I think re: physical punishment, there are actually a lot of nuances that get lost. Like, my mom would spank us; it didn't scar me in the least but it sure did tell me when I had crossed a line, cos she only did it over bigger things, and she always told us why we're getting spanked - it was never just "do what is at it I'll hit you". She almost never hit us hard enough that it actually hurt. I was fine. My youngest sister thought it was hilarious and would waggle her bum at my mom when she'd threaten a spank - so my mom stopped spanking her and did other stuff to get her in line. My nephew got so depressed for throat time he was spanked, my sister never did it again. My youngest brother refused to listen to anything as a small child and would run off so often it was actually dangerous to him, and we tried everything to no avail - but one light snack on the behind and he never did it again. And in contrast to how we did it in my family , my aunt would sometimes hit my cousins with a wooden spoon and they all hated it. My mom got whacked with a ruler in school too, and hated it - both those things are way harsher than what she herself did. But there's so much variation in how this is done, and in the response of kids as individuals, that I really think just lumping it all together isn't a great way to study it.

BRING SPANKING BACK!
As a kid here in the US, I remember watching The Incredible Crash Test Dummies PSAs on how safety belts save lives. Back then those PSAs creeped me out; but now I look back on them with fondness and nostalgia and even find them entertaining, especially since one of them (Larry) is voiced by Lorenzo Music (the original voice of Garfield).
Also- Belt up! Don't be a dummy! (Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden in their Incredible Crash Test Dummies PSA).
The “spare the rod” quote was in the Bible long before that poem was written…
“Those who spare the rod hate their children, but those who love them are diligent to discipline them” (Proverbs 13:24).
I've heard, however (and it makes perfect sense) that the "rod" wasn't meant as something with which to beat someone, but rather referred to the "rod" used by shepherds to gently guide sheep away from something ("They rod and thy staff, they comfort me"). In other words, a child left to him/herself without GUIDANCE would surely be spoiled, but guiding a child properly (also mentioned in the New Testament) will help the child behave properly.
Of course, I could be completely wrong; you can make the Bible say anything you want if you misuse it. Still, this is the best explanation I've ever heard.
The quote itself isn't in the Bible tho.
With a lot of these content producers its irritating to sit through the BS/no research then once the propaganda is ignored (a good chunk of this video) there is really nothing left.
@@daffers2345“He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him” (Proverbs 13:24)
Once we read the scripture, it's pretty clear it means punishment. A staff just doesn't fit in there.
I love believing the bible because when it comes to something like this, the choice is easy, I just believe it in spite of these stats that supposedly speak negatively of corporal punishment. Then I look around at how the youth acts today over how it was say 60 of my 70 years ago, and I believe that bible even more.

I have autism and was hit so many times for "misbehaving", with hands, with wooden spoons.. you name it and I've grown up not "better for it" but fearful and expecting pain now when people get mad or frustrated at me, and I go into fight mode. So really all it did was teach me to distrust people and cause pain to them first by lashing out before Im cornered and hurt. It also caused me to be fearful of my parents, even as an adult I DO NOT trust them behind me at all.
I am a nerd and itrovert, probably with autism. I am against every phycial contact. Hugging someone or beating someone doesnt mean any difference for me. Just leave me alone, I cant even stand when people come closer than 40 cm to me.
To add onto the radium craze of the 20's: there were a few incidents that gave people pause when it came to radiation poisoning.
1.) Eben Byers: He drank so much radithor that his jaw literally fell off, and his body disintegrated from the inside out.
2.) The Radium Girls: Teenagers and young women were working in a watch factory, and were told to lick the brushes of radium paint to apply onto said watches. This resulted in them slowly dying of radiation poisoning, and demanded the government to take notice.
If I had a nickel for every time I heard "spare the rod spoil the child" growing up, I could pay for therapy
"Controlling breeding is mostly illegal" I introduce to you, the US. Where you HAVE to have a kid if you get pregnant, whether or not you want one
Edit to add: you can't choose to be sterilized unless you already have kids, too
@@Phantomphan613 Citation needed. I had a buddy get his tubes tied before getting married and having never had children in Oklahoma, one of the reddest of red states.
@@Phantomphan613 Depends on the state and the doctor.
@@Phantomphan613 self responsibility, aka protection. So many different kinds
As an itrovert i am against every physical contact.
We didn’t un alive babies back then either, so is this truly better ?
so if corporal punishment was illegal, does it mean that Baldi would might get fired?
The guy that drank radium until his jaw fell off is scary, shotgun weddings and unequal marriages forced by family still happen btw this happened to my cousin there is still a shocking amount of grooming being normalised
Gross
Jerry Lee Lewis.
Yes I knew that one. The picture though.
Eben Byers is his name
"You got my daughter pregnant, you *damn well* gonna marry her!"
The flappers of the 1920s were gorgeous. Wish that fashion would return, tbh.
"No TV. Movies Suck. I'm Here With My Gal. Shake your Hand, Kick Around. Wear a Suit to Breakfast. Underwear that Laces up. All Girls have a Guy's Haircut. Crank a Car to Make it Start. You will Die of Measles!"
Them being called "Flappers" had more to do with the dances popular at the time (and the clothing styles associated with what was considered "chic" and "modern") than anything else.
So many people wanted this in the poll.
Now the FDA tells us that mercury in vaccines is safe.
Dang, I didn't know that was illegal now. My parents better be careful not to upset me, lol! 😂
