dudes about to fall over that hydrant

[โ€“] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Everyones first thought at this picture ๐Ÿ˜‚

Maybe staged for this purpose?

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Wouldn't a camera in those days need a long exposure to get such a sharp picture with them moving?

[โ€“] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

By '37? No, you had cameras that could take pretty sharp images in a (ha) snap. Even some expensive consumer cameras could get damn fine shots. Late 19th century is when you have the dying days of long exposure - except for color photography, which generally did require a little time spent stationary until like, the 50s or something.

The trendsetting first portable, compact Leica came out in '25^[1]

He's about to get the horny bonk when he face plants into the concrete.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

No way that's the classic 'pretend you're smoking or otherwise disinterested and subtly twist' move implemented by planting a pivot foot and then stepping back to cautiously turn your body

TIL women have legs. ๐Ÿ‘

[โ€“] [email protected] 34 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Getting the right to vote, having legs... what mad innovation will tomorrow bring for the fairer sex??

[โ€“] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Pants!? To protect their newfound legs for the cold Canadian winter!

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I worry that's a bridge too far?

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

See image above. Source is a bit outdated though, cannot confirm whether women still have legs or not these days.

What a time to be alive

Guy in the foreground about to have a religious moment when his shin hits the hydrant.

[โ€“] tigeruppercut 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Judging by the height of the center of that thing it's gonna be shin followed by his twins

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

That's a knee followed by deez.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I love that I know the game just by the tone of the dialogue option.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Yes Harry, it is an expression of pain.

[โ€“] [email protected] 34 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Could we get a NSFW tag on this? I just got fired.

[โ€“] [email protected] 34 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I call it. Dude in front is 100% staged. He's not walking, he's standing. For the camera.

But it's still a great photo.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Thought the same thing

[โ€“] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

At this time this may just have been considered porn, yes.

[โ€“] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

That explains the hands in pockets.

[โ€“] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Must be Yonge Street. That's where all the wickedness and... sinfulness... prowls. Oh dear... I do believe I am getting a case of the vapors... quick, do be a darling hand me my Holy Bible to clutch and feel the warmth and comfort of the word.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I, for one, am a fan of the wickedness that is Yonge St. I am only saddened that I was born too late to experience it when it was really seedy.

Seriously, if I had a time machine Yonge St in the 1970s would be one of the first stops - along with Bloor St W and Huron St.

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

That is gonna hurt so bad...

"They had legs that didn't know when to stop and shorts that didn't know when to start."

Wait until you see Montreal strippers.

Not demure. Not mindful.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I love this! Thanks.
