Back before the 1970’s if a woman was travelling she’d have her husband or a porter carry her bags. With the rise of women travelling alone there was suddenly a market for wheeled bags. Men didn’t want them because they made men look too weak to carry their own luggage.
Fellas is it weak to not carry your 50lb suitcase everywhere? Definitionally yes but oh my god how fragile.
Almost no “traditional” recipes are older than 150 years.
Edit: i meant meals, not basic fare.
Traditional food : bread
Show me a single loaf that is older than 150 years
I’m waiting
Let me get nananana’s old sourdough starter
You: “Almost no”
Comments: pff look, some example!
Reading comprehension is in the dirt.
Porridge has been around since roman times.
Is it comparable to today’s oatmeal? Is porridge a separate food from oatmeal?
Oatmeal is a type of porridge, but you can make it from a lot of grains

It’s 2025 and my invention idea from the 1980’s, the glow in the dark toilet seat, still hasn’t taken off. Makes me want to quit inventing.
Makes me want start pooping.
Carbonara was invented around 1950.
No respect will be afforded to Italian cuisine based on this fact
If you really want to rustle their jimmies, remind them that tomatoes came from South America, and weren’t introduced until westward exploration.
Why would anybody care? The only thing that matters is who uses them to make good stuff.
While true, this can be done by Italians to other nations with Worcestershire sauce, baklava and principate though.
And borsch wasn’t red. It’s called because of the plant that was the main ingredient.
Which is mostly not used now because of its intentionally bred toxic relative being a really problematic invasive species in all of former USSR and around.
And another thing that “wasn’t introduced until westward exploration” is English-speaking Americans
Shall we mention the potato
It was a turnip replacement, I think, in most cuisines
intentionally bred toxic relative
For what reason?
Silage, but I’ve just remembered there was no selection involved, just mountains were a good natural barrier.

Until Soviet genial gigantic problem solvers did that again.
Also corn, bell peppers and chocolate.
We live closer in time to the first T-Rex than the first T-Rex does to the last Stegosuraus
No way T-Rex did high fives
Due to its tiny arms and non-pentadigit hands the T-Rex would commonly high five with its teeth. This lead to the T-Rex being unfortunately labeld a carnivore.
They were just threes
And not so high; more close.
Close 3s, we can be assured, we’re quite popular until the event.
Maybe that’s why the Pachycephalosaurus had thick skulls and kept head butting each other, they were just trying to close 5 but their heads kept getting in the way (apparently these actually had 5 fingers)
McSorleys in NYC was men only until a 1970 legal ruling, and didn’t have a women’s restroom until 1986.
Their motto prior to 1970 was “Good Ale, Raw Onions and No Ladies”
Nothing more manly than being surrounded by dudes and raw onions while getting drunk because you’re too much of a wuss to go to therapy or even address emotional trauma yourself.
I also like how they had a gender neutral bathroom.
For some of the kids here: SPAM of the mail variety was not a thing before 1995.
Clearly the High V
This dude is in sorely need of Appian transit
Fist bumps, obviously.
Dapping. Its called dapping. To dap someone in greeting.
Though they may seem ubiquitous with civilised life today, the common home cube was not invented until 1991.
I still keep my home cube stored in a climate controlled tank, next to my fingerbox collection. They say you’re not supposed to do this anymore, but I’ve heard horror stories that say otherwise.
What is a home cube? DuckDuckGo isn’t helping.

It’s just like the cubes they have in like public libraries and town halls, but smaller and cheaper so you can have one at home.
That’s a little more helpful. Like this?
Oh I know that place, there’s a library cube directly behind the photographer
Maybe there’s a cube all around them
A library of that size probably has at least 8-10 library cubes
Americans trying to take credit for everything again.
Clearly it’s a Scandinavian invention. Ikea sell one called Skïrëwöltm
While planking is today celebrated as a modern viral sensation often shared on social media platforms for its humor and creativity, few realize that this activity has historical antecedents dating back to the Renaissance era. Recent research reveals an intriguing connection between contemporary planking trends and a lesser-known pastime from 15th-century Italy.
In 1485, Girolamo Tavernetta, a polymath of the Italian Renaissance known for his contributions to art and science, documented a unique form of entertainment in his manuscript “Scherzi di Corte.” This activity, referred to as “il disteso” (literally translated as “the stretched”), involved participants lying flat on elaborate tapestries spread across grandiose banquet halls. Far from being mere physical endurance exercises, these competitions were judged not only for their ability to remain motionless but also for artistic grace and the preservation of the intricate fabric designs.
Tavernetta’s detailed accounts describe how Florentine nobility engaged in “il disteso” during lavish feasts, where participants would vie to display the most elegant posture while stretched out on luxury rugs. The social gatherings turned into competitive arenas as attendees appreciated those who could maintain perfect stillness without disturbing the underlying designs of their ornate tapestries.
To add a visual element to his descriptions, Tavernetta included sketches in his manuscript depicting participants adorned in elaborate period costumes frozen in various states of “il disteso.” These images bear an uncanny resemblance to modern planking photos, suggesting that this Renaissance pastime served as both a precursor and inspiration for today’s viral sensation.
Centuries later a possible decendant, Spencer Tunic, had the briliant concept to remove their clothing.
That’s called Twister.
Under our nose is overcoming group thinking.
Bro punch
What is that? I’m picturing Everclear and Prime.
Back in my day it was called goose juice, and had Gatorade
I’m confused, does OP want to know what people were doing before high fives or what was recently invented?
