Fun fact: boomers entered the workforce before credit scores existed. Credit scores were created in 1989, but people treat them like they were in the bible.
Credit scores are as old as the simpsons!!
It’s not going to get better until we start killing office buildings full of these people.
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
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

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
Also corn, bell peppers and chocolate.
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.
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.
For some of the kids here: SPAM of the mail variety was not a thing before 1995.
The term mullet was coined by the Beastie Boys in 1994
George Kennedy calls someone a mullet head in Cool Hand Luke.
The term has been around meaning a fool or idiot. Also the fish. The Beastie Boys were the first to use it to refer to the haircut.
Always upvote a George Kennedy reference
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.
I don’t know but I know for sure that the fax machine was invented before the telephone
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.
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?
