They don't make advertisements like that any more.
The lady in the advert isn't going to enjoy her visit to Zion, Illinois.
I'd still light Clark Gable's pipe though.
Is this turning into a crazy tobacco history thread?
Well I wasn't planning on it but by pure chance I just happen to have a folder full of random smoke related pictures...
Handy cigarette holder for nudists...
Still impressed by this, a cigarette vending machine that sells you 1 cigarette that comes out already burning.
I don't really smoke but when I do I do it like this;
How can we look any cooler?
We've got cool clothes, cool motorbikes, oh I know, we need a smoke!
Duh.
Just a casual pipe smoking session.
Ladies behaving shockingly by smoking in public;
They look like they've just been told how 2021 people react to people smoking.
Smoking is sporty.
I don't care what anyone says, a good Jazz club needs to be filled with smoke, it just isn't the same without it.
I'll sign a waiver and accept all risks for a club like this.
Well hello there.
I need this cigarette holder.
This would cause riots today.
Ja bitte.
And finally, just to be sure; smoking is bad, don't do tobacco, except only now and then at retro themed parties, in Jazz clubs or when posing and trying to look cool.

This is how conspiracies are born.
Someone who doesn't understand old art (and may have problems seeing) thinks that this painting shows that Queen Mary I was brown and the painting later (literally) whitewashed to hide that but they forgot one hand... tiktok.com/@kingsmonologu…
Thinking that for a second is fine, but actually believing it and making a whole CSI video about it... that's daft.
Here's the biggest version of the painting I could find.
If we take a closer look at her brown hand...
We see that she's just wearing & holding a folded glove.
Claiming that famous historical figures, especially royals, were not the skin colour everybody thinks they had is quite popular online.
It's weird.
Nice to see an online paper that reaches so many people talk about this subject.
But seeing healthy people during the Black Death would have been very normal.
Not everyone looked sick right away or at the same time.
A thread.
I think this person describes these kind of ai videos very accurately, brilliant, what a wonderful insight, who is this wonderful lady, oh wait, hang on.
Sigh, the "It's not a documentary" excuse is so tiresome.
It's just a slightly less silly sounding way of saying "I couldn't bother to do research", "I don't really care about history" or "Ai do bleep bloop beep boop and its cool and I make money so yay".
They've done it again.
The internet is flooded with history themed Ai nonsense and people are loving it.
The History revived page has 600k followers and they're all about posting ai generated history themed rubbish.
Some of it is fun & interesting, but most of it is... well...
Lesson one every child learns: to go potty, you have to partially undress.
Romans didn't know that.
Also the sponge on a stick story is possibly nonsense.
The ghosts of Pompeii roll in their graves.
Check out the nice street lanterns and oh no, the volcano is exploding, let's all run towards the clouds of ash...
The other painting of Jean-Paul Marat's murder is more famous but this one is interesting.
It was painted by Johann Jakob Hauer (1751–1829).
Let's look at a couple of details.
Here's Neil DeGrasse Tyson talking about history with Joe Rogan.
Mr. Tyson claims that tallest thing humans built after the pyramids is the Eiffel tower... but is it?
Let's watch & check:
Let's pretend this show did what it should and had someone correcting things being said.
Even a quick google could have stopped millions of people hearing & believing this claim.
Anyway:
Tallest pyramid:
Khufu at Giza c.2570 BC: (originally) 146.7m
Eiffel tower 1889AD: 312m.
So we're supposed to believe that it took homo sapiens over 4000 years to be able to built something taller than the pyramids.
For this to be true, no building built between 2570 BC and 1889AD could have been taller than 146.7m.
Isometric sketch of a sauna stove made by master builder Heinrich Schickhardt in connection with the construction of a sauna in Stuttgart in 1616. Above the arches (A) there is space for the stone packing, on which water can be poured from the bathroom onto the stones through the openings (B). However, this stove is without the characteristic half-walls along the side walls, which are found in southern German saunas and in Næstved. After Tuchen 2003, p. 311 academia.edu/9791712/Badstu…
Yes I'm doing some random research and this is now a thread of what I find.
Nordic bathhouse, 1555.
Oven in middle, vat with water next to it, pipe bring the water to a basin, chap rinsing twigs for a thrashing, chap drinking from horn while enjoying cupping therapy.
Schachtafelen der Gesuntheyt, 1533, you know when nobody bathed...
Lovely image of a bathhouse.
