TIL snowball fights in the 1890's were epic.

"Prepare to meet thy god" is definitely not something an EOD guy wants to see going to check out an IED

The third to last was posted once. Titled, Princeton boxing match.so was it a snowball or a boxing match?

This is why Imgur. So many wonderful, sad, beautiful, painful moments captured and shared. Thanks OP. I needed this more than you know.
gagedlimits
the one where this little girl drew 'home' really got me :(

From Sphinx Trumpet player to bike race cheater. What a shame Mr. Armstrong, what a shame...

Don't forget the time he walked on the moon and sang in Green Day.

I can only imagine what the Native American must be thinking as he gazes of into the distance. that was my fav.

<3 the Louis Armstrong one... so many different beautiful things in the same picture!

I would like these pictures with zoom!! And I feel like a few of these were on imgur in the past. Like the last one. I'm sure of that one.
SirJohnnyMac
Great. This makes me want to get into photography all the more.

If you're not into history, may whatever higher power you believe in help you. It is fascinating as fuck.

Here, here! Hopeful future high school history teacher here!
kwongdzu
Mentioned it on another comment, but it pays to consider the milestones of the present too. One day your grandkids might ask you about Tard.
sinkingflameofhilarity
Well that's just a depressing thought.
kwongdzu
Oh they'll probably ask about the wars, civil unrest, fashion, technology, etc too but you can't deny the allure of a surly cat.
louiseclarkson
Is there a specific website or are there any specific websites where I could find photos like these?
karon

If I recall correctly, some of the male runners around Ms Switzer tried to protect her from Semple (we can see 377 pushing him away here).
getphrasingbackintherotation
I think 377 is her bf/fiancee

Dark haired fellow on the right was her boyfriend. He intervened too.

I love the pic of Louis Armstrong and his wife.... so simple and beautiful!

That was one hell of a snowball fight

Caption nailed it.

It's how i imagine pedo serial killers look...i bet they own a beige van

Wow. History is messed-up. It's nice to know that the present is not special in that regard.
SquareZer0
You're just not paying attention, then.
kwongdzu
I can't help but wonder which current events will be fascinating in the future. You might witness History and not see it until years later.

The Folsom prison live album was/is the best selling album Johnny Cash ever sold.
Ethica
it is great to see how many people like him no matter what their main music taste is
DinkMcDinkleman
That pic of the little girl who grew up in a concentration camp will forever haunt my mind. It's so sad someone would hurt a child.
TherealNickyboy
That one shook me too. Her face is full of fear.

"Prepare to meet thy god." Totally subtle message for the EOD guy
ItsCoolToPeeYourPants
It's amazing how things change over the course of time.
StarmanUltra
Look at the picture of the men drinking beer again :3 The guy on the right just brings it all to life.
iamireland
It would be more amazing if they didn't.
lapapillonne
All I can think is: I wonder how closely related all the kings are...
eggmuffin
Did anyone walk into this building thinking "we're the good guys"?
Jennnanigans
I thought that too
eggmuffin
I mean, the whole thing practically screams "villain".
lordsleepyhead
That's the thing about fascism. A lot of the behaviours that we consider "villain-like" were actually encouraged by fascists.
lordsleepyhead
Things like mob mentality, the stronger oppressing the weaker, thuggish self-assertion, etc.

I'm still blown away that this was even real.

Me too, it was so surreal. It was like something from a comic, not reality. Blew my mind.

damn you... i was going to move on until i read your comment.

Agreed, also TIL Mussolini had a cartoon villain fortress. Still, nothing beats the look in the liberated mother's face.

The woman holding up her unconcious dance partner, with a look saying "I WILL have that prize." makes it. Also +1 for fellow moonshiners.

As another fellow moonshiner I say that imgur's moonshiners should come together to create a moonshine empire...just a thought....

good copy paste skills, getting ready for school next year.
MrsSaban
reddit pics post here frequently. imgur is their pic hosting site. so it may not be "stolen"
Orangeremi
The comment I replied to is the top comment from reddit verbatim.
KillingMeDjently
I saw that pic before on this site, it was a boxing tournament or something not a snowball fight.
mrMarcus
Which is sad because makes you question some of the other pictures. As usual, the internet is full of liars.
SweetZombiJesus
Someone added a source confirming the snow-ball fight. They had rocks in the snow-balls O.o
