Rage jello

Ok that's true, but flaming hot and extra sour are both delicious, Jello is just kinda... Meh.
Would you rather have flaming hot Jell-O or extra sour?

I mean it's gotta be extra sour right? At least then it kinda goes with the fruit themes I associate with jello, heck it might even be pretty good...? Maybe I should go make extra sour jello.

I can't hear the word "aspic" without thinking of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared.
How much have you had today? Too much makes your teeth go grey!
I think of the King Crimson album, Larks Tongues in Aspic

These people were obsessed with eating canned food. They thought that they could make it palatable with stuff like slathering it in mayonnaise or suspending it in jello.
Boomers are sociopaths. Years of leaded gas exposure gave them lifelong cognitive decline and propensity towards erratic behavior.
Not just leaded gas but also becoming adults in the easiest time and place in human history to live comfortably.

They were all called "salads" for some obscene reason, but yes.
Solid soup defijitely must have sounded sci fi hack in the 50s

My mum was pissed when work from home started and found out the job my dad does is mostly just having leisurely conversations all day while she works her ass off as a primary school teacher for far less money and far less respect. Stg if you do a job where you have to stand up and walk somewhere, your job is more demanding than the people who make the most money.
hey its hard. sometimes i have to get up and go to the bathroom

The reason the workplace death rate for men is 100x that of women is because they are most certainly not doing "fuck all".
Men mostly had office jobs. Office workers do not "do" much. Sitting at a table with a plastic box and a phone is not particularly strenuous. Their diets paired with excessive smoking, drinking and inactivity for most of their days caused the high death rate. Office workers, even now, do not "do" very much in comparison to other professions.

Office jobs are mostly bullshit.

The largest occupational percentile for men in the 1950's were jobs in manufacturing/production.

Maybe it's just the kind of people I work with, but I know very few who wouldn't prefer to be stay at home parents, given the option.
Pretty much nobody in my friend group (and we're all parents) would prefer to be a stay at home parent. Personally, that's a bad fit for me, my skill sets, and my preferences. I'd be miserable and bored, and feel that it would be a waste of the things I'm good at. My wife would feel the same way in that kind of caretaker role.
Like, I think if we won the lottery and didn't have to work to maintain our lifestyles, we'd still send our kids to school and camps and things like that to get them out of the house and socializing with other people, while we'd probably still choose to work in some capacity, for some kind of public interest or passion project we'd do for reasons other than the money.
Staying at home with kids just doesn't sound appealing as a day to day routine. I like my weekends with them, but I also like that we use the time to catch up, too.

Are you saying this
wasn't cooked up by a pure well-meaning heart?The exclamation marks in "Surprise!" evoke the same energy as "Oops! All Berries," like you're biting into a "salad" and discovering it's Oops! All Mayonnaise.

Yep. The 50’s was dudes working in the asbestos plants, chemical plants and automotive plants without any sort of PPE. I mean, folks in general were eating off of actually radioactive dinner plates made of (depleted) uranium and lead was in everything down to kids toys.
Health and safety for workers was better than the 1800’s, but certainly a far cry from what we have today.

We're not talking about an average man. We're talking about a man whose wife puts unholy things in jelly. There is something wrong with that man.

Or we could just fund scientific study without the weapons part but at the same funding level.
Drive technology and civilization into the future without killing a bunch of people?! That sounds like SOCIALISM!!!

I've worked with many many people this decade that got paid more than me to do literally fuck all for the whole shift and got approved for overtime more frequently where they continued to be absolutely useless but they kissed the correct asses and sucked the right toes.
Are you describing cops?

I don't miss it at all. Physically I was busy enough, but it was excruciatingly boring.
That applied to my work, but I imagine that building, landscaping and other trades that require actual skill can be engaging, if one chooses to learn an improve. -

It was because aspics were meant to 'contain' stuff, not just be gross, savory Jell-O. Like, a traditional aspic salad would have various fruits suspended in it.
I think when gelatin became common in grocery stores, people were just all about the novelty. If you read cookbooks from the 50s that have these recipes in them, you see a commonality — people were just chuffed as chips that they could make a cake that jiggles lol.
