Friday Funny: Ten Things Our Ancestors Would Find Stupid

12/21/2012

0 Comments

 
Most of us like to think that we live in the most sophisticated, advanced society of mankind to ever exist.  But there is some stuff that has become normal in our society that our ancestors from 100+ years ago would genuinely think is stupid.  (And these really have nothing to do with advances in technology.)

In no particular order...

1.) Save the Date cards for weddings
2.) Rodents, insects, and reptiles as pets
3.) Tanning salons
4.) Refusing childhood vaccinations
5.) Black Friday
6.) Clothing for pets (except for this guy.)
7.) Twitter, i.e. only getting a certain number of words to say something to someone.
8.) Professional wrestling
9.) Skydiving, base jumping, putting your life in danger for fun.
10.) Flash mobs

Hey, don't be ashamed if any of these are a part of your life (We have a pet guinea pig); but I just get a giggle out of our ancestors seeing some of these things (from wherever their spirits happen to be) and being like, "Wait, WHAT??"  What else would you add to the list?
