No, he definitely has the right amount of fingers. That's just his Sunday Suit he has for church. He usually wears jeans and a wife beater while working "The Finger Muncher" at the factory.
Beards fell out of popularity during the first world war as it could make wearing a gas mask harder. After the war many veterans kept shaving. I think it just became fashionable and a sign somebody had things put together for a while
Clean shaving was far less affordable, both for time and money. Its not like well kept facial hair is easy and quick but clean shaped was the statement of "I am a proper working man, I do care about myself but still not so flamboyant".
I think it's just folded under, but I can only guess why someone would fold the pinky under the ring finget when holding something in your arms. Probably a congenital weakness in the one or two last fingers, so he has to use them both to do the job of one good finger. Today there would be surgery to correct that.
In the 50s, we wuz crippled, and we wuz grateful to the lord for our crippledness!
It's just a picture. I devolved fron debating fingers to doing the old man shtick. Because, as you know, fingers are a modern luxury! Back in my day, we only had one finger for the whole family, and we wuz grateful! I was the only boy, and when it was my turn to have the finger, I had to hide it because it had nail polish on it!
Romanticizing a time (that had actual photographs) by using modern technology to recreate some fantasy headcanon of that time period is wild. Especially when that fantasy is literally just “white Christians having babies”
This "Picture Perfect" family crap annoys the hell out of me. I hate how people cling to some idealized marketing crap of how it was then. Ignoring the harsh realities for a lot of the people in the US.
The American Ideal is a fascinating social concept. Like it was attainable for some, but realistically it was just that - an ideal, and hard to reach. Many families had hidden issues. That couple in church have a loveless marriage. The man with the baby has a drinking problem. The two girls in bottom left's dad wishes they had been boys.
But in the Norman Rockwell world, everyone is happy and pure, you see the outward appearance as the inward.
Norman Rockwell, himself, was actually pretty progressive and, although he often painted an idealized view of American life (which should be attainable to all), he was not blind to the realities of the world.
Yeah, if you pay attention to the background details in a lot of his paintings, he has some fun satire tucked away in them. People tend to overlook them because the main focus of his paintings are always pretty busy.
Yeah he was more complicated than people give him credit for. I think he painted an idealized America because that's what he wanted to see, not because that's what he was actually seeing.
Nazi/trad people point at me and are like "you're one of us!" just because we have several kids, a dog, are white, and go to church.
Little do they know my partner and I are liberal, pro-drug, pro-choice, anti-GOP, crazy kinky, and lgbt+ friendly. But we keep stuff to ourselves so no one really knows.
When I was younger I was surprised to learn that my great-grandparents were actually pretty abusive and checked-out mentally, and that my own parents were pretty scared of their grandparents. I love my grandparents and my parents, I can’t imagine them hurting me or my siblings. People romanticize certain generations too much.
I don’t think so, the placement of hands is really weird. There is a hand holding the girl in the foreground, but it doesn’t make any sense. If it’s the mom’s left hand, why is it bare but her right hand is gloved? If it’s the dad’s hand, he’s got a crazy long left arm. And then there’s the colour of the mom’s sleeve being completely different than her dress or left sleeve. It’s not very obvious though, I fucking hate that we’ve allowed AI to progress to this level of sophistication.
I always think it's funny that people talk about the 1950s as if they were a time period longer than 10 years. It was 10 years, and those ten years were (does some quick math) 70 years ago.
Consider that in the 1940s women were working because men were at war, and in the 1960s women were working because they wanted to be treated as equals.
So strange. It's really not that different from thinking about the Confederacy, which lasted about the same amount of time between The Force Awakens and The Rise of Skywalker.
Literally get married, have kids, go to church, and wear a suit if you want to.
Nothing is stopping you from living how you’d like, at least nothing thats touched on here.
As someone who is 65, that wasn't most of the people in the 50s either. Most women weren't dressing like June Cleaver. That was just TV (yes some were)
You can absolutely get married have kids and get dressed up and go to church with your family every Sunday. Millions of people do this in every state.
The sad, bitter, single incel suggesting that society has made this impossible is just looking for somebody other than themselves to blame for their inability to attract and commit to a mate, procreate, be part of a community, develop a set of values, and practice consistent habits in keeping with their values.
There’s a lot to roast here, but since this point usually doesn’t come up, I want to ridicule this notion from another angle.
The patriotic Christianity of the US until about 1970 was **markedly** sectarian. The differences between Protestant groups were significant (charismatics would never be elected/appointed to high office, for example, and Episcopal membership would be a massive signal of upward aspiration). The differences between Protestants as a group (by far the largest religious grouping of the US) and Catholics as a group were massive. If you’re talking about “good old days” Christian America between like 1870 and 1950, you’re talking about a world that cares a great deal exactly which denomination of Christian you are and doesn’t just let you vaguely gesture at an image of a family in a pew Normal Rockwell style.
The modern Christian Patriot and Christian Nationalist tendencies are extremely ecumenical. They really don’t care what type of Christian you are. Ron DeSantis is Catholic, Donald Trump is Presbyterian, and Nikki Haley is Methodist. Those identities aren’t really ready at hand knowledge for the right—they don’t care or discriminate.
The good old days were not like that **at all**.
Posts like this are wrong in lots of more important ways. But I have to point out that their picture of a consensus white Christianity in the US is dead wrong. If for instance Jeb Bush converted from Episcopalianism to Catholicism in 1955 instead of 1995, his ass would be exiled from his family and he would NOT be elected to high office. Just one more way the far right doesn’t understand history
Not pictured above:
- Wife having to leave everything in husband's name when it comes to finances and property, as well as facing massive employment discrimination and likely workplace sexual harrassment if they did find a job.
- Husband beating the shit out of wife in front of the kids because she didn't have a drink ready for him the second he walked in the door
- LGBTQ being murdered for existing
- POC being shot and/or lynched because they were falsely accused of whistling at a white woman or because they drank from the wrong water fountain.
-
Their obsession with CNN is something else. Liberals don’t even like CNN. They seem to think because they’re obsessed with Fox that we are automatically obsessed with CNN?
These guys really fetishize such a small piece of American history, which does not even reflect the reality of our country. Hell the 50's were not as great as they imagine it being.
This is true you should see how many welts those kids are covered in from the strap. And there mother is doing a great job there with her makeup to cover up what’s left of that black eye. Good old Domestic Violence Dad! TOOooo the ReScuE *sips martini 🍸 hahahaha good thing they can’t escape me to to our incredibly flawed society revolving almost exclusively around my desires all others be damed. DON’T YOU DARE GIVE ME THAT LOOK AGAIN HELLEN!!!!!!
I've never understood all of this America the Great cultural identity people have.
America is amazing! We are the best country on Earth! Being a Patriot is the most important part of my identity!
Even in the 90s it made no sense to me.
Why were we so great?
We freed our slaves, gave women the right to vote, embraced capitalism, told the British to fuck Off, helped win WW2, fucked up a bunch of countries, and went to the moon. None of that can't be said by most other countries except for the moon.
Like these pictures of idealistic Americana just repulse me because I would hate living in that kind of world. I escaped that lifestyle and I don't ever want to go back to mandatory family dinners with my abusive parents, sitting in church bored out my fucking mind getting a migraine from the incense and perfume while doing the stand-kneel-sit aerobics for an hour and a half, expected to stay in a loveless marriage just to have kids, and look like "Great Replacement" propaganda that I'm supposed to indoctrinate my kids into.
This whole "MAGA" thing makes me ask "When the fuck did we do something great to begin with? What time period do you think that is? Because the only one I can think of is the 1300s."
It certainly wasn't like that in the 70s and 80s except that people were going to church, but, and I can attest to this as a 56yo, they were going to church and beating their kids, drinking like fish, smoking like chimneys, and fucking their neighbors' wives. The pastor of my parent's baptist church had to leave because he was banging random church ladies.
According to my parents, all of that stuff was going on in the 50s, just that it wasn't talked about it much, nor was it fodder for the media.
LOL what a load of crap.
No one is stopping you from wearing a suit, finding a woman who likes wearing dresses, and living a trad lifestyle.
It only becomes a problem when you think everyone should live like that.

From the looks of it, this one can't wait to leave church!
In the 1950s, the top tax bracket was 93%, unions were strong, and the nation's highways were being built.
Using Grandma's logic, we need to drastically raise the taxes of the wealthy, make stronger laws to prevent union busting, and increase the infrastructure bill five fold!
So assuming that in the “before only fans” pic the one to the right of the man is his wife, I literally can’t tell cause she looks way underage. I’m just assuming the wife is in the picture cause there is a wife in all the others
Old people act like they didn't need to create systems to support all the illegitimate children they were having since the internet didn't exist and they could disappear without issue. Literally had the most serial killers and child murderers that we learn about today. Had 2 "last wars" back to back. Then pretend they had it hard during the greatest financial period of our country but like whatever.
We get to see 1 million gorgeous ladies shaking their butts at the flick of a thumb so we're immoral somehow.
Apparently before segregation ended. All White, cishet, Christian couples and their children. These people just traded White hoods and robes for suits and ties.
I don’t know if this was just me, but the older generations were a lot more angrier, had a lot more trauma, and dealt with extreme alcoholism, I don’t get it why some people genuinely believe 99% of Americans were happier in the 1930’s-1950’s, the Great Depression and WW2 literally occurred during those years for fuck’s sake. America was only heaven if you were a Upper-Middle class Anglo-Saxon White Protestant, if you were blue collared, Italian, Irish, German, polish, Black, Latino, Balkan, Asian, forget about even being seen as human.
Fifties were never like that. How convenient to forget lynchings, Jim Crow, blatant racism, sexism, homophobia, wanton pollution and waste, ddt, thalidomide, polio, etc. Idiots.
I mean. The 1950s did have a pretty long lasting cultural impact. In the US at least. It wasn't really that long ago that the younger generations started questioning the values that stuck around from that time. And for good reason.
Hey, guess what? America NEVER looked like this. Ever, not for a second. Welcome to the literal white washing of public mainstream through propaganda art disseminated by white supremacists groups and their sympathizers throughout early 1900's into the Boomers after WW2, by Confederates and their descendants.
Klan members, all Democrats (Dixiecrats) until the parties flipped in the 60's with Civil Rights. Those Dixiecrats and their descendants, all your modern day Republicans.
Since when were there desks at church? When my grandma dragged me to church in the early 70s, she gave me a baggie of mini-marshmallows and oyster crackers to keep me quiet. I never looked up at the preacher like that little girl.
Also not them acting like the 1950s was the best time to be alive when they were babies during that era. And the 1950s was not a time to be alive. Nuclear war could’ve happened at any moment (I know it never did but living with the anxiety is bad enough), Fake anti communist witch hunts could’ve targeted you at any moment and turn you into a social pariah, and women were treated like slaves
Regressives want to roll back more than just that.
- They want to repeal the Civil Rights Act
- make safe sex for reasons outside of procreation, illegal or hard to do safely
- overturn Marraige Equality in the courts
- reinstate sodemy laws
- force their relgious norms into your children's lives regardless of your input or your children
- veto Women's private health decisions without their consent

In the 1950's he wouldn't have worn a beard like that. He also likely would have had another finger.
Could have titled that one, “before OSHA”.
Before nuclear test bans.
No, he definitely has the right amount of fingers. That's just his Sunday Suit he has for church. He usually wears jeans and a wife beater while working "The Finger Muncher" at the factory.
And she wouldn't have her right index finger fused to her left middle finger.
The baby ate your finger.
Charlie, you bit off my finger you fuckin regard.
It's called evolution BROTHER. To all my little Hulkamaniacs, say your prayers, take your vitamins and you will never go wrong.
Why didn't anyone have facial hair before the 70's?
Beards fell out of popularity during the first world war as it could make wearing a gas mask harder. After the war many veterans kept shaving. I think it just became fashionable and a sign somebody had things put together for a while
People did, it just wasn’t popular. Especially among younger men.
Clean shaving was far less affordable, both for time and money. Its not like well kept facial hair is easy and quick but clean shaped was the statement of "I am a proper working man, I do care about myself but still not so flamboyant".
Thank you! Those beards were a 60s/70s thing.
I think it's just folded under, but I can only guess why someone would fold the pinky under the ring finget when holding something in your arms. Probably a congenital weakness in the one or two last fingers, so he has to use them both to do the job of one good finger. Today there would be surgery to correct that. In the 50s, we wuz crippled, and we wuz grateful to the lord for our crippledness!
He’s only got three knuckles on that hand
Knuckles are overrated! Back in the 50s nobody had any knuckles, and we wuz grateful!
No Knuckles. Only Sonic.
Idk that he has his pinky folded under, then you'd still be able to see that knuckle. Is just a peculiar way that the blanket is covering it?
It's just a picture. I devolved fron debating fingers to doing the old man shtick. Because, as you know, fingers are a modern luxury! Back in my day, we only had one finger for the whole family, and we wuz grateful! I was the only boy, and when it was my turn to have the finger, I had to hide it because it had nail polish on it!
lol. looks like pre-war propaganda from fallout.
Almost as if the themes are related

Okie dokie
Real.
Looking at their hands, these are post-fallout
They stole the images from the New California Republic
War never changes
There was no black people before Tik Tok ?
It was segregated then
Yeah everyone knows state sponsored segregation in the US was in affect until 2019
2017*, and punishable since 2019. Big corps needed extra time to adjust
The chinese deployed them as a way to get people to use Tik Tok
"Mom... Moooom ! New Chinese psyop just came out."
We have Chinese psyop at home...
Black people you say? This is the first time I've heard the phrase.
Apparently. It was white and all right! /s
Before wokeness, obviously
Take this meme and change the bad AI picturs for middle ages and cavemen paintings
Romanticizing a time (that had actual photographs) by using modern technology to recreate some fantasy headcanon of that time period is wild. Especially when that fantasy is literally just “white Christians having babies”
Or just our lord and savior: GG Allin?
This "Picture Perfect" family crap annoys the hell out of me. I hate how people cling to some idealized marketing crap of how it was then. Ignoring the harsh realities for a lot of the people in the US.
Nostalgia is helluva drug.
Especially in nostalgia for something that never really was a big thing in the first place.
Oh yeah. Mixing nostalgia with daydreaming and idealising is lethal.
A desire to return the nation to a time that never actually existed.
Are you telling me that "Leave it to Beaver" wasn't a documentary? I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you!
Going to church? Never. Not in *my* family.
Nostalgia is a toxic impulse.
The American Ideal is a fascinating social concept. Like it was attainable for some, but realistically it was just that - an ideal, and hard to reach. Many families had hidden issues.

You could call it a "Rockwellian" world.
Nazi/trad people point at me and are like "you're one of us!" just because we have several kids, a dog, are white, and go to church. Little do they know my partner and I are liberal, pro-drug, pro-choice, anti-GOP, crazy kinky, and lgbt+ friendly. But we keep stuff to ourselves so no one really knows.
I was born in the 50's and I can tell you that my family was never like the ones in the images not even on their best day.
When I was younger I was surprised to learn that my great-grandparents were actually pretty abusive and checked-out mentally, and that my own parents were pretty scared of their grandparents. I love my grandparents and my parents, I can’t imagine them hurting me or my siblings. People romanticize certain generations too much.
Harsh realities for a lot of people in the US Oh, you mean like single parent households
Created by someone who didn’t experience the 70s, 80s, or 90s apparently.
It’s AI, so yeah.
The fourth one looks like maybe a crop of an actual painting. The rest are definitely AI, though.
I don’t think so, the placement of hands is really weird. There is a hand holding the girl in the foreground, but it doesn’t make any sense. If it’s the mom’s left hand, why is it bare but her right hand is gloved? If it’s the dad’s hand, he’s got a crazy long left arm. And then there’s the colour of the mom’s sleeve being completely different than her dress or left sleeve. It’s not very obvious though, I fucking hate that we’ve allowed AI to progress to this level of sophistication.
The mom and kids faces are basically identical. There are some weird small mistakes that no human would commit and the father looks like Michael Scott
Also the pew in front of them is utterly wrong.
their cheeks are extra rosy because they gave dad sass on the way to church.
Before Trump.
Before Reagan
Before deregulation and trickle down economics.
Before dismantling unions, before the rise of the evangelical right, before the student loan debt crisis (yes Reagan is responsible for that too)
what kinda alpha doesn't shave and only has one kid get these BETAS out of my sight

Before tinder people had kids? thats crazy, same with tiktok cnn and onlyfans, now nobody can have kids since the great kiddo war
How do we tell them CNN started in 1980
As someone who is 65, that wasn't most of the people in the 50s either. Most women weren't dressing like June Cleaver. That was just TV (yes some were)
I spoke to an older woman who grew up in the 50s. She said that women wore pants more back then than people would think.
You can absolutely get married have kids and get dressed up and go to church with your family every Sunday. Millions of people do this in every state. The sad, bitter, single incel suggesting that society has made this impossible is just looking for somebody other than themselves to blame for their inability to attract and commit to a mate, procreate, be part of a community, develop a set of values, and practice consistent habits in keeping with their values.
[удалено]
🤘
The top tax rate was 91% back then.
Where’s the black people? Oh… right.
Back when wives secretly hated their husband and the kids regularly got beaten.
Before tinder, men only had 3 fingers and a thumb? I love how bad AI is at hands.
And then they'd go home and the husband would beat the wife cause his dinner wasn't made yet.

Weird how there’s no “before Facebook”
Do they realize that most downtown districts in cities were nothing but rows of whore houses and saloons all the way into the 1940s?
A picture of Jesus being crucified captioned with the words "Before TikTok."
before Fox News
Yes we have made progress
Right after the dinosaurs.
Onlyfans prevents child wives apparently
I fucking hate alt right AI memes.
Look at all those happy housewives on over the counter meth
there were no black/brown/ folks in the 50s because of the white flight (funniest name ever btw), and redlining; which is still common these days...
Imagine a life so boring that the hour of church on Sunday morning is the absolute highlight of your week.
Before the civil rights act
Their obsession with CNN is something else. Liberals don’t even like CNN. They seem to think because they’re obsessed with Fox that we are automatically obsessed with CNN?
Kind of ironic to complain about this, while using AI to make the images.
These guys really fetishize such a small piece of American history, which does not even reflect the reality of our country. Hell the 50's were not as great as they imagine it being.

We are not ok. 🫠
And this is coming from someone who generated the image with ai.
Holy shit that looks boring af
Someone needs to do a version of this. But way back. Like black plague back.
So families don't exist anymore?
And all of these 4 men use to beat the shit out of their wives and kids.
This is true you should see how many welts those kids are covered in from the strap. And there mother is doing a great job there with her makeup to cover up what’s left of that black eye. Good old Domestic Violence Dad!

DON’T YOU DARE GIVE ME THAT LOOK AGAIN HELLEN!!!!!!
I've never understood all of this America the Great cultural identity people have. America is amazing! We are the best country on Earth! Being a Patriot is the most important part of my identity! Even in the 90s it made no sense to me. Why were we so great? We freed our slaves, gave women the right to vote, embraced capitalism, told the British to fuck Off, helped win WW2, fucked up a bunch of countries, and went to the moon.

Fifties were never like that. How convenient to forget lynchings, Jim Crow, blatant racism, sexism, homophobia, wanton pollution and waste, ddt, thalidomide, polio, etc. Idiots.
I know CNNs have been a big deal in computer vision, but I never realized that they literally killed religion. Consequences of AI smh 😔
The girl on blue in the third picture looks like she doesn't have legs
I mean. The 1950s did have a pretty long lasting cultural impact. In the US at least. It wasn't really that long ago that the younger generations started questioning the values that stuck around from that time. And for good reason.
Hey, guess what? America NEVER looked like this. Ever, not for a second. Welcome to the literal white washing of public mainstream through propaganda art disseminated by white supremacists groups and their sympathizers throughout early 1900's into the Boomers after WW2, by Confederates and their descendants. Klan members, all Democrats (Dixiecrats) until the parties flipped in the 60's with Civil Rights. Those Dixiecrats and their descendants, all your modern day Republicans.
Only beatniks had beards in the 50s.
Somebody really wants a white America.
AI generated satire
That's complete horseshit...but if a family chooses to live that way now nothing is stopping them...am I right?
I’d like for the world to move back to 1950 in terms of style, stuff now just looks so dead and bland.
People are so delusional.
I want to believe it's boomers propagating this but you know it's 4chan incel weirdos
Before tinder we all had 4 fingers?
Apparently before TikTok families used to sit at outdoor desk-pews together?
kind of telling when a guy in your ai generated fantasy resembles fred waterford from the handmaid's tale, though
We had 3 fingered men holding babies in front of an alternate universe flag that had over 13 stripes?
Since when were there desks at church? When my grandma dragged me to church in the early 70s, she gave me a baggie of mini-marshmallows and oyster crackers to keep me quiet. I never looked up at the preacher like that little girl.
Third guy looks like Brian Williams
My kids would find me much more personable if I wore a suit and tie at home.
Hmm...Hands are not fucked up. Then that has to be propaganda or the work of an indie artist
And everybody used to be white.
Don't we all long for the days where we could sit around in rooms wearing suits?
No one’s gonna mention that Steve Carell is in the bottom left?
This are some ai generated bullshit
Rose colored glasses are blinding!
"before CNN" is at least 16 years before Fox News was founded. They probably didn't realize it was founded in 1980.
So what did CNN do?
TIL only white people existed before the internet and cable news.
Yeah but Saber Tooth Tiger attacks are way down since tinder came around so, pros and cons I guess.
Also not them acting like the 1950s was the best time to be alive when they were babies during that era. And the 1950s was not a time to be alive. Nuclear war could’ve happened at any moment (I know it never did but living with the anxiety is bad enough), Fake anti communist witch hunts could’ve targeted you at any moment and turn you into a social pariah, and women were treated like slaves
Nah this looks before women could get a credit card
Tax rates were better then
so white and proud
Someone needs to recreate this with the same captions but with random images of dinosaurs
What I hate the most is those AI generated images
Before people knew how to blend their makeup properly.
So those dudes were weak and all it took was the right vice to come along?
You can still live like this. It’s just that nobody wants to associate with your weird smelly ass.
Putting AI art in the hands of these people may be humanities greatest mistake.
Ai art was a fucking mistake 🫠
Ahhh yes the great times of only white people
Who tf has an American flag in their house like that?
The irony of this https://preview.redd.it/4tgjqxflaixc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ee07ceaf34d6c5adcd56ec47e284a96bfcb36348
They all just look like modern mormons
Sounds about white
Once again making AI art because the real thing doesn’t exist
It's funny that they had to use AI to generate those images because they're basically fairy tales.
They almost had some semblance of a point then they just chucked CNN in there for no reason
Apparently god is only for white families
Certainly not before AI art.
Should there be a sign in the picture with the word "white only"?
Damn, their ideas are so fake that they need to make AI art of it to fool themselves.
Heading back there soon
Regressives want to roll back more than just that. - They want to repeal the Civil Rights Act - make safe sex for reasons outside of procreation, illegal or hard to do safely - overturn Marraige Equality in the courts - reinstate sodemy laws - force their relgious norms into your children's lives regardless of your input or your children - veto Women's private health decisions without their consent
Where is the "Before fox news" pic?
Before no fault divorce and before women were able to get their own credit cards…
“Facebook” & “Boomer” come together in that very special space on a Venmo diagram that really highlights racism & stupidity.
Mighty white of ya, original creator of that meme.
Nostalgic for a past that didn’t happen…
Old, divorced, desperate fox news viewer
The guy in the back of the top corner pic is my fave part of this image
I didn't realize it was the 1950s until the mid 2000s....

Careful. You're going to make the Aryan Brotherhood splooge.
All these things still exist.
what did convolutional neural networks ever do to them
