Anyone else watched the WWI footage that's been remastered with AI frame interpolation and colourisation?
Impressive to see.

Spoiler

Real window into another world.

"Do you think we go to Church every Sunday for fun?"
"Why do we go to Church dad?"
"Because we're Methodist!"
"What's that mean?"

@Ruprecht one day WW1 will be millions of years ago.

Texas homecomings were always fun. It was basically a contest between the girls to see who could get the biggest mum from their boyfriend. When homecoming rolled around, it was like steak and a blowjob day, only with a fuckload more ribbons.

I pulled out one of these numbers my senior year. My girl went apeshit.

Mums are an arms race man. Now girls go even harder.

I am confused
What do British moms have to do with Texas homecoming?

God I am so happy I wasn't the only one whose brain went tot hat area.

Same. I also thought that Texas “mum” said “señor” tho.

Well a hundred years is nothing to sneeze at. Especially the last hundred.
No doubt there'll soon be similar advances in interpolating 3D VR footage from the 2D stuff.

I still have no idea what you are all talking about. Are these decorations called, "mums"?
That's just odd.

Imagine raising a kid and he gets swallowed and ground to dust by the war industry.

For some reason the version that has a bunch of still pictures of teh cemetaries and moments in WWI is "age restricted" on YouTube.

He thinks Texan mums aren't very decorative. Not enough chest chair.

 

[Trotsky]

@Trotsky how about a Top 10 Prom songs list?

oof.

Time After Time comes to mind.

 

[tonni]

"Decorative" is Aussie slang for "wife material".

 

[Rational Poster]

RR, SDW and Milton Gracie.

It never occurred to me that @LazaRRus was RR till today.

My grandfather on my dad's side was too young for WWI, too old for WWII, and got to see the Wright Brothers fly while watching them on a TV while standing on the sidewalk and then saw men land on the moon.

No kidding, and imagine a century where the average life expectancy in the UK goes from 39 (1850) to 69 (1955). Although WWI "only" saw a dip from 52 to 48. The global average is now 72.
That represents a lot of social and technological change.

This was mostly due to less babies and children dying from preventable diseases and not having to run between cave bears and wolves and stuff.

Sure, the small pox vaccination alone was a massive contributor, but the social change that represents is massive.
