1. This dead-eyed Kellogg’s kid who has been haunting nightmares for the last century.

I’m so sorry, J.C. Leyendecker, you’re my illustration hero, but like, no.
2. This ad that urges boys to grow mushrooms in discreet places for money, for some reason.

Seems legit.
3. This story entitled “Women Don’t Understand Things” in Good Housekeeping Magazine.

What a gorgeous woman. Too bad she doesn’t understand things!
4. This ad that proclaims the wonders of DIY taxidermy, “which has long been kept a secret.”

Finally, those bastards at the Evil Taxidermy Guild have released their secrets to the public! At long last, we can all reap the benefits of at-home taxidermy!!
5. This dictionary ad that contains “puzzling war words.”

Contraband? Belligerent? Blockade? Transylvania?! Puzzling indeed!
6. This extremely un-appetizing baked potato.

I’m gonna pass on shaking that “glad hand,” but thanks.
7. This freckle-hating company.

Uhh, just rude.
8. This adorable tyke playing with a saw, while his proud father looks on.

“Son, it’s your third birthday. You must prove you’re worthy of this family. Start sawing. Not my leg, son.”
9. This very urgent plea to buy a “Vital Book Private Lessons on Sex Force the Vital Power”…whatever that means.

OK, OK! It’s vital! I get it!
10. Also, this:

I mean, this book seems less weird than the other one, tbh.
11. This beer company whose target demographic is motorists.

For when you’re, you know, just driving around in your car with no roof.
12. This cure-all elixir called “SA-TAN-IC,” that “brings mental sunshine.”

“SA-TAN-IC makes you ‘sunny’,” eh? “SA-TAN-IC ‘for all the world,’” you say? Sign me up!!
13. This terrifying electrical treatment meant to make young children grow taller.

Why bother waiting for your son to hit that growth spurt? There’s always electricity!
14. This little boy who’s super excited to go the dentist to get his new teeth.

Alright, to be fair, a full set of teeth for $3 is a great deal. I’ll give Dr. Leslie that.
15. This very high-stakes word game.

Well, sure, back then bread only cost a nickel, and a horse only cost an ‘a’ and an ‘o’.
16. This vibrator…that even a child can use?

Or help you use??
17. These creepy-ass babies showering in the talcum powder of a disembodied hand.

It’s common knowledge that zombie babies love talcum powder!
18. This corset that supposedly provides “great relief.”

Somehow, I highly doubt that.

Some older limbs look like medieval torture devices. Others look like cartoonishly goofy enhancements that would make any steampunk fan weep with adoration. Join us as we take a look at the scary yet intriguing history of prosthetic limbs.

Here’s a gruesome wooden toe from around 600 B.C.

In the 1500s, knights who lost their arms in battle would have them replaced with iron arms, covertly blending into their armor.

The iron arm gained a hinge somewhere in the 1500s.

There was a flourish of different prosthetics during the 1800s. Some made limbs out of wood…

…and some made them out of leather.

This Civil War vet, Samuel Decker, made his own metal prosthetics. This is presumably his dining set.

The coolest prosthetics are the ones that don’t even try to look like human body parts. This one is an odd hook-hand made from the barrel of a gun.

This wooden leg with a revolver inside looks like something out of that Wild Wild West movie with Will Smith.

By the 1900s, there was an increase in elegance to the models. Notice here that the joints in the fingers are able to move.

Even the metallic models were made with appearance in mind.

Even in the 1900s, if you couldn’t afford to have your limbs made, you had to settle for something more functional and less beautiful.

I don’t know why, but old shoes and socks kind of creep me out.

This Swiss army style prosthetic arm is cool. Though what did you even need the hook for? Besides scaring away stowaways on your pirate ship, I mean.

Seriously, why have the hook when you can just attach a fork to your arm?

Stop! Hammer time!

I feel like it would almost make sense these days to include a phone in a prosthetic arm. It might be a little much, but it makes a lot more sense than a freakin’ hook!

Dissection is a dirty job, but I suppose someone has to do it. Good on the brave souls that carry out this messy, disgusting job, as some of the most important achievements in modern medicine were discovered through human dissection. Still, this doesn’t make the act of dissecting a human being any less creepy.

Based on these vintage pictures from the early 1900s, it seems like surgeons back then really loved their jobs. They posed around the bodies they dissected like it was a fellow member of a grim fraternity. Oh, what a time to be alive! (Or dead.)

We’re cool with smoking cigars in the dissection room? Cool, cool.

“Such The Vultures Love” is presumably also the name of their super deep indie rock band.

I don’t like how that leg looks.

Cigars are fine, but dude, you can’t be smoking a pipe up in here. Nobody is gonna take you seriously.

It’s funny because surgeons had no souls!

There are probably about one thousand ghosts in this room right now.

See, this sort of thing makes us think the surgeons personally killed their cadavers.

Is this like the company Christmas card? I don’t understand.

The skull is a nice touch.

Something tells me the dude from West Virginia is the most twisted.

This is secretly just a picture of the ViralNova offices on a Monday.

Again, I can’t stress how important this time was for medical science. Many vaccines and surgical practices were probably developed by these men. I just wish they didn’t enjoy their job so much.

Nowadays advertising firms would never be able to get away with ads like this.

The post Vintage Ads That Are Totally Sexist appeared first on Barnorama.

Humans, in general, have an obsession with the future. We worry about what we will be doing in 5 years, what technological advancements will be and what the world will look like for our children. We have always been that way.

Take these ads from past decades as an example. The vintage advertisements attempted to guess what the future would look like. Sometimes they were close… but most often, they were way, way off.

They thought that THIS is what voicemail would look like.

 Instead of a portable AC unit, maybe just air condition the entire vehicle?

Instead of automatic doors, there was… this?

Not sure if we’ll ever get to the Jetson flying car like this.

Self-driving cars? Yes, please.

 Self-checkins are thankfully not this complicated at the airport. Most of the time.

 Getting things delivered to you isn’t that outlandish.

They were right. Food trucks ARE awesome.

This HAS to happen.

Because I never want to fold clothes ever again.

This store was open from the 40’s through the 60’s. Then the owner of it fell ill and passed away. The shop was closed and it remained this way for over 40 years, mostly untouched.
