​@@barbarajoyce6424That made me choke laughing. I call my dog "Pikachew" sometimes. SHE eats everything. Pika. Chew. I have had to pull hair etc from her rear end. She likes to run to the litter box whenever we go upstairs trying to sneak a cat poop snack. The paper thing has made me put half the house up out of reach. Have to trail her even in the fenced back since she doesn't confine her tastes to inside. Never seen poop like THAT before tho. Kinda makes me think that's a homeless dog eating garbage poor thing. Sorry. It WAS hilarious! I'm just Debbie downer today😢😉🐾 Have a great weekend.

I am so old that I remember my sisters using slide rules at school! I also remember when calculators were invented! And then computers... Great video - thank you!

Those lights that tell you when a switch is on are very useful. We have one for our attic lights and one for the garage door so we know if it's down or not. It's awful realizing in the morning that the door didn't go down for some reason, usually because something broke the beam and it went back up after we were inside.

This was a reasonably common feature in the 1960's. The Grandparents had two in their "parlour" (the old kitchen extension), linked in to the attic lights and the garage lights. Small wall mount fixtures taking an E15 (MES) style pigmy bulb.

Kind of worrying that a doctor didn’t know what an orchidometer was!

"Let your fingers do the walking."

The thing about Slide Rules, is they don't require any electrical power, and with even a modest amount of practice, can be faster for complex calculations than a calculator. Again, with modest practice, accuracies of four decimal places are easily achievable. I still use my 1970's PIC 221 double-sided rule for quick calculations, and it "works" as well now as it did when I bought it (second-hand, mind you) in 1974, i.e. 50 years ago.

@ 8:30 - ish:I've had them work for that, too, but what makes them "special" to me is that when they're large enough (and some jugs have two of them to make them, effectively, even larger, with more capacity) it lets you just toss the jug straight from the grocery bag into the freezer with no - as in zero - preparation or setup. Water-based liquids like milk expand (with great force - sort of an ultra-slow-motion explosion) when they freeze. Like when dropped, the divot(s) in the side of the jug pops out enough to prevent bursting the jug when you put it in the freezer "still sealed from the dairy" full. Without those divots, you need to open it up, pour off "some" - in my family, we used to do a cup or so out of each straight-sided jug that was going into the freezer - and recap it loosely (to let the air escape as the milk freezes and the air inside is compressed by the expansion) which means you have to find a way to put it in the freezer upright and reasonably level until it's actually frozen - something that isn't always easy when you've got a well-stuffed chest-style freezer rather than an upright - then come back later and tighten the cap and restack it in some other position if desired. With the divot(s), y'just pull it out of the grocery sack, find someplace it fits, close the freezer lid, and forget about it until it's time to pull it out and actually use it. Bonus fun-fact as your reward for reading this far: The "creases" in the bottom both stiffen the jug, and simultaneously provide some more capacity to relieve pressure, whether from being dropped, or from freezing, the same way the "main divots" in the sides do. 🤓🤓🤓🤓

That thing shown would catch hairs and make removal painfull at best. The hair bands in the '60s did not have loops. The metal circle is hinged for the cap/closure for the purse. The loops on the bottom edge were to attach the purse body which could be fabric, knit or lightweight leather, etc.

Ahck! I have that slime mold thing growing up the side of my fern terrarium. I didn't know what it was. How exciting. I'll have to see if I can transfer it.

Must say many of things, a normal person would know about - ie the elephant ice cube, but I also learned something new today

these are fascinating videos - bingeing on them now that I've found them - very informative thank you - I'm an old biddy now so can guess some of the old stuff

14:47 - I have something very similar but from the 1950’s/60’s - it is used for picking up ice cubes too !

Where does one post pics for answers on what is it?

6:55 - I knew what the ‘beads’ that appear here and in the thumbnail were for before I watched the video, and was correct ! I don’t have a medical background though, so how did I know ? I was shown a set of these in 1991 and asked “Which size would you go for ?” and I replied “The biggest” ! I was born with Klinefelter’s Syndrome which gives the man chickpea-sized testicles. I also had 1 undescended testicle on the right side, which wasn’t corrected when I was a baby (despite my mother telling the nurses at the clinic that there was a problem). The docs tried to bring this down when I was 14 but were unsuccessful, so it was decided that I would wait until I finished puberty before they would remove it and put in a false one. Because of this, they were going to remove my left one too and I would have 2 fake testicles to make me look normal. In the end, the docs discovered that my left one was still producing a little testosterone, so they pinned it in an area where it won’t go cancerous, and popped in the full size fake one in its place ! So I went from having 1 ball to 3 balls ! At that time, Klinefelter’s affected 1 in 5000 men, but to have it and undescended testicles as an adult made me 1 in 10,000. Current ratio in U.K. is 1 in 1000 boys have it but most are unaware. There are an estimated 25,000 boys and men who have XXY (it is possible to have extra X’s or Y’s, but these are rarer still) in Britain alone. Therefore the ratio of those who have both XXY and Cryptorchidism, like me could be more or less the same - I can’t find this out !

So - some e found a s,ide rule? And did t know what it was! I’m feeling very old now!! My husband is a retired aerospace engineer who used to use one but I asked him once and he doesn’t even remember how to use it - hasn’t used one in perhaps over 50 years! I just find these items humorous!

I really like when a location of something is told as some of these items are not from the US - just curious. I’d love to have found a Megalodon tooth, even broken!!

The "pre-columbian object" is probably a knife. The Inuit in northern Canada use a similar-shaped knife to this day. Theirs aren't traditionally metal, so yeah if it's metal it would be Aztec or something (someone who mined and used metals). My curious brain mow asks if the knife design was shared via trade, or it it was invented independently ( just like lots of human inventions, got invented multiple times in multiple sites).

I suppose it could be for checking whether a boy's testicles grow normally. I imagine the doctor compares the egg things to the testicles and writes the number on the egg thing into his report for documentation. In my country, there are routine examinations for children until they are in their teens, to check whether they develop normally, and I know that looking at the testicles is part of the examination for boys. So I suppose this is one purpose.

@@sandybruce9092 Well yeah, I'm not saying they do it, I'm just saying they might. It's probably different from country to country. I know that in the report booklets doctors fill out in my country (Germany) testicle size is reported for boys from a certain age onwards.

3:36 Basement Light Noooooooo This is not so simple! I would bet money that someone who lived there before used the basement as their "dark room". No windows would make the perfect place to develop photographs in chemical baths without light pollution. (They would have done just like movies where they use dim red light bulbs only.) SOOOOO... That indicator light was to inform the rest of the household; "DO NOT OPEN THIS DAMN DOOR AND RUIN ALL MY PHOTOS!!" "If the light is off, no worries." I knew someone whose grandparents house had something similar for this exact reason. Lots of love!
