I think a history thread is worth having, just like we do for other broad areas of interest.
Rather than starting with a single article of historical fact, I thought I’d kick it off with this daily game which is always good fun:
I did OK today, no bull’s eyes, but score points on all 5 guesses.
I got a score of 3830 on today’s Chronophoto: 8/14/2024
Round 1: 924
Round 2: 849
Round 3: 777
Round 4: 640
Round 5: 640
With the 3rd photo, it’s always an eye opener to see those days when cars were so few and far between (although still getting huge space allocated to them)
edit: I really should have done better with the 2nd photo. I mean the flag’s there in the shots and even though I would have got the actual year wrong, I shoulda been closer.
I got a score of 1557 on today’s Chronophoto: 14/8/2024
Round 1: 777
Round 2: 342
Round 3: 196
Round 4: 242
Round 5: 0
Bit shit, but I made the rookie error of being fooled by colour. Some b&w photos I assumed were older, and some colour ones younger. Won’t make that mistake again.
Hair style and clothing style. Look at the tech. The telly studio I initially went ten years earlier than looked at the hair, clothes and the tellys again and adjusted.
Same, plus the beers and bloke in glasses in the last one really threw me, I thought it seemed like it was late 50s except didn’t think women would be drinking bottles of Buds and that bloke looked like he could be straight out of 1988-92, there was already a 1950’s one too so guessed that it may have been some kind of dress up party
