When I was much younger, the favorite restaurant my family used to treat ourselves to every so often had tables decorated with olde timey newspaper pages. Still very much legible and permanently preserved in epoxy, the advertisements fascinated me — even way back when (≈/< 1930s), the same kinds of “revolutionary” “exotic” “new” tricks that <insert expert title(s)> hate, etc. squawked their bullshit for the punters & mouth breathers. Hell, even Pompeii revealed it’s been going on for millennia… Same as it ever was. 🙇🏽♂️🤓😅
You should check out the dollop podcast. Recently they started doing a segment (the past times) where they read sections from old newspapers (even stuff from the 18th and 19th centuries). Some crazy stuff got printed back in the day and it’s interesting to see how people viewed papers way back in the day.
