Fake History Porn

Welcome to /c/fakehistoryporn@lemmy.world , where fake history is made. Find a historically significant photo, come up with a fake history title, post it, laugh.

The name is a reference to the fact that the pictures should be worth marveling at. This is NOT a place for hardcore pornography. Tasteful nudity is fine as long as it fits within the context of the post (please mark it as NSFW).

lmao I was literally picturing this in my head yesterday but had no idea someone would post it. Well done, nice way to wake up in the morning =D

They actually have surprisingly decent medical facilities, for being in the middle of nowhere in the Nevada desert anyway.

If you can get through the mud to get to them.

Yeah, rain in the desert can get crazy sometimes. Especially when you're camping on a giant salt flat.

I suspect that the very high alkalinity of the salt flat will inhibit most of the problematic microbes

When I was a kid, I wanted to know what an axle was and no one would tell me. For some reason my dumb ass didn't think to look it up in the dictionary.

You used to have to think to walk to a dictionary, then open it up and find the word. Took like 5 minutes, if you had the resource nearby.

Nowadays I look up way, way more words. I google vocab all the time, probably one of my most googled categories after driving directions.
