So much to love about this dance … Hermes lifting Fred easily, pulling him by the back of his jacket, Fred’s WTF moment let’s dance with a ghost okay, HERMES IN HEELS! So much love, oh my. 

It’s real

-It took place in Russia, not California. Didn’t seem to be actual illegal street racing, nor was there any cops involved from what I could see.

This is likely the work of inventor and car enthusiast Vaga Adrenalin, who has been doing scifi operations to automobiles since years before AI could make an even vaguely convincing video. Apparently stuff by him has circled the internet before- I remember reblogging a video about a car that could shoot flames out of the front, which was apparently by him.

Here’s a different example:

The Netherlands is great at these kind of wacky races and have a long history doing so.

If so, I found this entry which lists 'slaw bunk' as a specific type of bed, citing a book written in the US in the late 18th century.

apologies if I'm completely off here! very curious about this mystery :)

hold on! that's absolutely in line with the way this writer forms his ws!

it's a shame that that contemporary account doesnt describe what a slaw-bunk is, only that it exists and the mattress was straw

HOWEVER!

a book called "colonial days in old new york" by alice morse earle (1896) describes them:

"The sloep-banck, or slaw-bunk, was another form, a folding-bed. This was also set within closet doors or hanging curtains. It was an oblong frame filled in with a network of rope or strips of wood, set apart like the slats of a bed. This frame was fastened to the wall at one end, the bed’s head, with heavy hinges; and at night it was placed in a horizontal position, and the unhinged end, or foot of the bed, was supported on heavy turned legs which fitted into sockets in the frame. When not in use, the frame was hooked up against the wall and covered with the curtains or doors."

thank you thank you thank you!

This sick bleach shirt I made. Something to showcase my undying love for prehistoric cave art.

tonight's set. i wanna get better at crowd work; it's probably my biggest weakness right now as a comic.

mutuals/followers who are involved in historical research especially the late 18th century in new england:

this is the only object in daniel brown's house in cambridge mass in 1785 that i cannot identify for the life of me.

the context it's in is a room containing beds, clothing, kitchen/cookware, and for some reason "forty-one new scythes".

i'm reading it as either "Slam Bunk" or "Ham Bunk" (leaning toward "Slam" based on the rest of this particular person's handwriting), but nothing comes up when i search either of those terms, even with dates added. it looks like it's worth 1/6 of a penny if i'm understanding the notations of value correctly

Check this out.
