I think you can still extend the lens. It looks like the black tube has threads on it, so you would need to twist it, it might just be painted shut.

Anyone who has ever used a fielder or catchers mit from that era can attest its amazing those guys were able to catch anything, ever. I have to imagine with a mit from the 70s onward this would be a much easier thing to do. So much so that I don't think it would reguire a professional player to accomplish in 2025, just someone who played little league as a kid.

I remember buying wooden postcards in the 90s at Yosemite, I believe. Not sure if they still sell them or not.

History's first football player?

love me some 100-year old copypastas

8:15 this poor soul has the correct pronunciation of Lake Chargoggagoggmanchaugagoggchaubunagungamaugg welded into his frontal lobe by now... probably dreams it... poor thing

Cool!

No smart phone or tablet projection? Kinda surprised. Or not. You might try some wd40 or pb blaster to loosen the lens. I was thinking paint thinner, since it might've been painted shut also. Be careful not to mess up the optics though.

This channel is such a joy

😂

I don't know why I enjoyed this so much but I really really did.

You know somebody (not me) turned this on to fall asleep to. 🤣

Was curious if the Keystone Company was the same as the Keystone View Company that made stereoscopes but they seem to be different.

He just kept talking in one long incredibly unbroken sentence moving from topic to topic so that no-one had a chance to interrupt; it was really quite hypnotic. (Affectionate).

Brett died on January 1 2025.RIP buddy.

BE HONEST!!! Do you want to leave your home to go to work only to be randomly stopped by the FAA to inspect your flying car? (So ticket violations of flying cars funded the Star Wars Empire!!!)

You passed up the opportunity to project your phone playing on of your videos.

I'm so happy i wasn't asleep when that ending came around, lmao

Imagine inviting people over just to show them your meme collection.

Best ending ever

Love your vids! I love LED bulbs, tip they need to be in an open lamp. When these bulbs are inclosed, the extra heat will cause the bulbs to last about half the lifespan 😊

My persona head-canon is all of these people are in fact the same person.

This is beautifully done. Thank you for creating this! I am certain that very few realize how much effort went into creating it.

The top of the replacement vent tower appears to be a jar lid, looking at its crimped edge. It's an ingenious little projector. Postcards were a real craze in the early 1900s when the picture postcard appeared, being a perfect souvenir. Before postcards stereo views were the popular form of at home visual entertainment, along with lantern slides. I both collect and take stereo photographs. I have a Baker epidiascope of about the same vintage as your Keystone. The epidiascope is a combination projector that projects glass slides, pictures and objects. I imagine it was for educational institutions due to its size and the fact I can only get it in focus when projecting across the backyard. Cleaning it up and re-wiring it was a bit of work.

I feel like Game of Thrones definitely revolutionized the phrase - but I don’t think that the early examples you showed are too different to how Martin used the phrase in the book. (Including the Brenner-esque “summer child” ones) You say a lot about ignorance, naïveté, and how it’s not a compliment. In the phrases current usage, I’d argue you’re right, but in the book and in many of those poems from the 19th century, it reads to me not necessarily ignorance, but Innocence. In the book and the early sources it feels to me like endearment, like “oh you silly young one, you don’t know much do you? You a look upon the world with fresh, inexperienced eyes” - it’s an acceptance of both the ignorance inherent with youth, but also envy for the youthful perspective. In the case of the poems about children who died early, It feels to me like the poet is expressing the child’s innocence to play up the tragedy. What I think truly revolutionized the term is meme culture. When the show took the line from the book, we got a meme-able image. Meme culture (especially at the time) was oftentimes finding creative ways to make fun of and be rude to people on the internet. I don’t think game of thrones invented the term in the exact current usage, I think the memes derived from game of thrones invented it. I think if you asked George R.R. Martin back in 1996, he’d say he used it the same way as it was historically- apart from adding the layer that the child in question literally hadn’t experienced winter but could like Yaknow… talk. Martin used it with a bit more of a serious and warning tone, but to me it still reads as endearment over the child’s innocence, and given the context of the world of game of thrones, a warning is required. It definitely doesn’t read to me like Nan is calling this child out for being ignorant or anything - like how we use it on the internet nowadays.

This is the perfect ADHD video. Great work as always!

Man you are forreal my favorite youtuber, im currently binging your sip trips because its all ive got left before ive watched every one of your videos. pls post some more

He really hit us with a recap episode 😂 I love it

I like to imagine that Dime Store Adventure dude is super swole and just goes hiking with a pair of dumbells so he can keep lifting nonstop. Being able to use one to make a point was just serendipitous happenstance.

Walsh! #30 , thats my last name! Sweet

where is the pan over video at 0:40 from??

We had a slide projector when I was young. This seems to be the progenitor.

Why dont you scream the whole time anymore?

11:30 I love the ink color on this one

I don’t remember an audio problem, Dime, but I remember one hell of a good story! If anyone doubts whether a two hour story about a roller skate race is viable, oh it surely is. I think this is the story that sent me to the Patreon. Incredible.

That was pretty metal, eh

Your lincoln memorial and a few other postcards were designed by a company called Curteich out of Chicago. You can see in the bottom right, it has a code 2A-H996. The 2A means that this card was designed (but not necessarily printed) in 1932. They had a few different systems, and you can look up a curteich postcard date guide to find figures for earlier or later. Curteich was one of the largest designers of postcards in the US, and developed a patented 5-color printing process. They licensed out their designs to be printed all over the US, but they mostly kept the common aesthetic of a white border with black text on the border.

Maybe you could read us some editorials or letters to the editor from the past.

I can think of numerous periods in our history that would be helpful to better understand 2025.

This channel cured my depression

My favorite postcard was probably the Times Square one; it was interesting to see such a famous site looking very different, and yet the same underneath. But there's also something about reading the one that said "Having fun, it's hot, will write when I get home." It's inane, but also something someone thought was important enough to mail someone, and we have it to read a whole century later. History is interesting.

I wasn't watching your channel when this was first published, but I'm so glad you brought this video back around. This was absolutely fascinating, and the layout of the video was very engaging. You were right at the start-- picking my own contender kept me checking in every time the hour changed. My boy Phillips didn't get any press, but he held on until the end!

It brings me some small comfort to know that long before the internet, we were still sending each other memes.

Really interesting. You should check out Our Own Devices. He's got lots of gadgets from around a hundred years ago give or take a decade or two.

Watched this video this morning, right this second a question about lake Chargoggagoggman­chauggagogg­chaubuna­gungamaugg was asked in a quiz show on germanys 1st tv Channel. You truly are gifting us impeccable Knowledge

Often times, you hear the KZbinr during his or her intro saying: “Stick to the end because you’re not gonna wanna miss…” whatever. Fill in the blank. But this is the first time when nothing was said and the end of the video was so satisfying! Thank you for this video! 😊

😂🤘🤘

Can we be friends?

the five pound weight is not for weightlifting nor exercise. that is essentially a portable hitching post for a horse. the carriage driver would thread a line through the ring and the other end of the line would be attached to the horse's bit. so in that manner the driver could park his horse wherever he needed to without regard to whether or not there was a hitching post available. The horses were accustomed to this system and seldom challenged it. btw, I love all of your videos, your delivery is sincere as is your enthusiasm. keep up the great work :)

Weird, but wonderful. Thanks.
