Old-School Photos That Prove Humans Have Always Been Weird

We all like to think humans have evolved over time, but the reality is we’ve always been a bunch of jokesters. We have created futuristic new technologies and explored other planets, but we’ve always been ready to strike a silly pose. For as long as photographers have existed, humans have been prepared to ham it up.

These old-school photos are a reminder that even in war and economic turmoil, we will always have a weird side. You may think Victorians were stuck-up, but they basically invented awkward family photos. We honestly haven’t evolved that much.

Men Love To Risk Their Lives For The ‘Gram

This photo of an unknown Swedish soldier during World War 2 is a perfect example of how men will always put their lives in danger for a joke.

If it’s phallic-shaped, men will find it and exploit it. This photo would do great on Instagram if it happened today.
