dudes about to fall over that hydrant

[โ€“] ladicius@lemmy.world 25 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Everyones first thought at this picture ๐Ÿ˜‚

Maybe staged for this purpose?

[โ€“] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Wouldn't a camera in those days need a long exposure to get such a sharp picture with them moving?

[โ€“] PugJesus@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

By '37? No, you had cameras that could take pretty sharp images in a (ha) snap. Even some expensive consumer cameras could get damn fine shots. Late 19th century is when you have the dying days of long exposure - except for color photography, which generally did require a little time spent stationary until like, the 50s or something.

The trendsetting first portable, compact Leica came out in '25^[1]

He's about to get the horny bonk when he face plants into the concrete.

No way that's the classic 'pretend you're smoking or otherwise disinterested and subtly twist' move implemented by planting a pivot foot and then stepping back to cautiously turn your body

TIL women have legs. ๐Ÿ‘

[โ€“] PugJesus@lemmy.world 34 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Getting the right to vote, having legs... what mad innovation will tomorrow bring for the fairer sex??

[โ€“] SailorMoss@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Pants!? To protect their newfound legs for the cold Canadian winter!

[โ€“] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

I worry that's a bridge too far?

See image above. Source is a bit outdated though, cannot confirm whether women still have legs or not these days.

What a time to be alive

Guy in the foreground about to have a religious moment when his shin hits the hydrant.

[โ€“] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I love that I know the game just by the tone of the dialogue option.

[โ€“] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yes Harry, it is an expression of pain.

[โ€“] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Judging by the height of the center of that thing it's gonna be shin followed by his twins

[โ€“] somethingsnappy@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

That's a knee followed by deez.

[โ€“] Plopp@lemmy.world 33 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I call it. Dude in front is 100% staged. He's not walking, he's standing. For the camera.

But it's still a great photo.

[โ€“] TheFriar@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

Thought the same thing

[โ€“] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 33 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Could we get a NSFW tag on this? I just got fired.

[โ€“] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

At this time this may just have been considered porn, yes.

[โ€“] danekrae@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

That explains the hands in pockets.

[โ€“] niktemadur@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Must be Yonge Street. That's where all the wickedness and... sinfulness... prowls. Oh dear... I do believe I am getting a case of the vapors... quick, do be a darling hand me my Holy Bible to clutch and feel the warmth and comfort of the word.

I, for one, am a fan of the wickedness that is Yonge St. I am only saddened that I was born too late to experience it when it was really seedy.

Seriously, if I had a time machine Yonge St in the 1970s would be one of the first stops - along with Bloor St W and Huron St.

That is gonna hurt so bad...

"They had legs that didn't know when to stop and shorts that didn't know when to start."

[โ€“] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Wait until you see Montreal strippers.

[โ€“] abfarid@startrek.website 7 points 2 weeks ago

Not demure. Not mindful.

[โ€“] Maeve@kbin.earth 3 points 2 weeks ago

I love this! Thanks.
