What's the date on this one?

Eta: January 24 1908. So sometime in 1908 he gave up the demon drink.

It was probably his wife's Outburst that did it.

This one is kinda good actually, he told the guy he swore off it and the guy keeps insisting, dick move

They're all pretty good, he's the grumpy curmudgeon in us who wants to overreact to everything that annoys us. They're cathartic

I think we're only seeing a select few here.

People look at you funny when you tell them you don't drink. It's weird how normalized it is

I just realized what the vase-like thing on the left is and now I am feeling slightly nauseous thinking about it.

Wild times, and only just a hundred years ago...

Now I'm intrigued. It is the waiter's carafe, isn't it? But if I'm right, what's wild about it? So I must be wrong?

It's a spittoon.

People used to chew tobacco and then occasionally spit into these.

So this would be filled with a brown soup of saliva with soaked tobacco remains distributed in it.

My grandfather uses tin cans. He left one in my car once. Only once but holy fuck.

[-] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago

I swear there was one a week or two back where his wife was mad at him for coming home smelling like alcohol

[-] clark@midwest.social 11 points 1 month ago

[-] Rolando@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

See the comments above.

Just imagine him being an angry drunk

When you could assault someone and that was fine.
