2.This is what economy class on a commercial plane looked like in the 1960s:

A very wide plane interior with two aisles and rows of four comfy-looking seats in the center and two or three seats on the side

Hmmm. I don't know about you, but I much prefer today's system of being shoved into the tiniest seat imaginable and having the most miserable four hours of your life.

3.Car seats for children were incredibly dangerous in the 1940s:

4.This house, located in Alexandria, Virginia, is the thinnest house in the United States:

A very narrow, two-story blue house with one window on the second floor and abutting two buildings

John Hollensbury had the 7-foot-wide house built in 1830 because he was fed up with horse-drawn carriages banging into the walls of his house next door.

10.Panda caretakers in China wear disguises to avoid spooking the cubs and to help acclimate them to their new lives outside of captivity:

Shrek water.

Apparently, two bodies were found at the bottom of the drained waterfall.

15.Speaking of which, this is what a canal in Venice looks like fully drained:

This is done to clean the canal and search for any mysterious clues to unsolved mysteries. Okay, maybe just the first part.

16.This is what the first-class bathroom aboard Emirates airline looks like:

18.This postcard was sent to households across the country in order to introduce them to the zip code system, implemented in 1963:

Card from cartoon mail carrier "Mr Zip" with "Zip code is here!" headline and explanation of what it is, "a new nation-wide zone system to improve your mail delivery" and a sample envelope showing where it should appear

Would love to get a beer with Mr. Zip some day.

23.And, finally, a whooooole lot of people needed to do their thing for you to exist:

A list of what "you needed" in order to be born, going from 2 parents all the way to 2,048 ninth great-grandparents: "for you to be born today from 12 previous generations, you needed a total of 4,094 ancestors over the last 400 years"

It boggles the mind and most likely some other body parts.
