What was going on in this country 60-80 years ago?

because I guarantee it wasn't education.
In almost all of the facebook groups I'm in (WSB not included), I can ask a question about... let's say...
"What is the best fertilizer yall have used for your yards"
30-59 year olds: I always use 10-10-10. If I want to cut the yard a lot but it look great I'll use 32-0-0.
60+ year olds: Elvs ways the gritest signer of all tim. Butt, I've alwys be partiol to chicken nodle sup when I have a cold unlss I have a smol block 350 then I use a duble barel Holly carb. But to each his on.

Nice, high quality plastic cups - RIP

Not those cheap solo cups kids drink from today. You could put those in the dish washer and use them for 30+ years. I still drink from one from the 1989 Citrus Bowl. Can still read a little on the side.

I used to go around after games and collect used cups.
May 5, 2022, 8:57 AM
|

Took home, washed out all the dip spit, etc. and we had a huge box with maybe 300 of them in the garage for years. Problem weas the ones we used every day never wore out. Had to chunk the box. I had a stack as big as my middle-school wingspan after a few games.
We used to sit right above the visiting section, and they all left the cups when we won. Literally all you could carry.

I have a 2011 Bowl game cup I use to wash the bathrooms
May 5, 2022, 11:21 AM
|
|
(like to pour down the side of the shower when the shower spray won't reach the top of the shower). Its made it through about 5 or 6 different moves, and it still is intact.
It's a large, so it also holds the nasty sponge and scrub brush under the sink when they aren't in use.
Thankfully, most of the lettering has come off the sides, as even thinking about the outcome of that 70-33 game still stings.

Ditto ... ~ 40 years ago I'd save my own fluted game day cups but stopped doing that in the '90s.
Only those cups which had been proven Wild Turkey worthy were brought home; those worthy cups had survived the gauntlet. Not dissolve while exposed to my game time 'medicinal elixir' and then enduring the Rick Flair suplex move which I couldn't help but to put on them while staggering back to the car.
Still have 2 or 3 of them in the cabinet; my wife still wonders what those cups had really been through.

you being from the same town as me, a clemson guy and virtually everything you say.
I dismissed it when I realized that you were a decade older, but the collecting cups thing is the most "ryanadidas's cousin" post I have ever read in my entire life.
btw, I ultimately found out that said cousin has a t-net handle, but only posts a few times a year in the mange.

If I may suggest maybe you should try to move up the social scale a touch. Perhaps start in the Mange.

Re: What was going on 60-80 years ago? Math education

Today's idiots go to Facebook to further their education; reading garbage from other Facebook ignoramuses.
60 - 80 years ago people were properly educated in math.
The ones who couldn't cut it argued with each other about how to fertilize their lawns.
The ones who could cut it became engineers, scientists, accountants, economists, (legit) math teachers.
The people educated from 60 - 80 invented transistors (the basis for all computers today).
They developed figured out the math and physics which led to ballistic rockets ... that's why Elon Musk has his SpaceX and Starlink stuff.
But hey ... today's youthful "educated" people have the social media feedback loop in which they can make each other feel smart ... so it's all good.

May 6, 2022, 2:23 AM

in school, the USA was #1 in education in every measurable way... standardized tests, whatever. We were the smartest kids on the planet, and it wasn't even close. The best schools, private or public, the best universities, and the brightest kids. Parents in other countries dreamed of sending their kids here, just so maybe some of our Boomer genius might rub off on them...
Now what are we... I doubt the USA is even in the top 20 in math, science, reading, etc. Here's all you have to do... ask anybody under the age of about 45 years old: Hey, what's the 3 best books you read last year? That blank look on their face says it all. They haven't read a book since they were forced to in 11th grade Literature class. They get all their "knowledge and info" from Facebook memes...
If the people 60+ you know are stupid, that says more about your social circle than anything...
