Rage jello

Are mayo and sour cream based salads not a thing where you come from?
I'll agree they don't deserve to be called salads but they're pretty common here. The OG potato or pasta salads everyone used to make for every occasion of course have no lettuce or cabbage in them, the greenest thing you may find is peas. The least salady salads of them all.
Of course, we have potato and pasta salads. Those are mostly potatoes or pasta, along with other ingredients, and the mayonnaise forms the base of the dressing, which the solids are tossed in. That photo just looks straight up like the whole thing is a brick of mostly mayo.

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.
I was reading the other day that Gen X technically got the highest lifetime lead exposure. Boomers didn't grow up with it.

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.
big nope unless the ‘kid’ is a dog

The first time I had Thanksgiving with my first wife's family, one of the dishes was blackberry jello with green grapes in it. I was never a big jello fan, but I took some of everything to be polite. I put a fork full in my mouth, bit down, and thought "oh no, something is rancid!" The texture was wrong, too. I was just going to spit it into my napkin when I realized it wasn't rancid, but it took a moment for me to place the flavor. It was a green olive.
That should have been a warning that there was something wrong with that family.
I just read it like you bit down on the fork and now my front teeth hurt.

Ugh, sorry!

It was just because jello was new and exciting so they tried to use it everywhere. Kinda like how everything is Flamin' Hot or Extra Sour these days.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Ok that's true, but flaming hot and extra sour are both delicious, Jello is just kinda... Meh.

Well, yeah. Most people would much rather spend their time and energy taking care of their children than laboring away for someone else's profit. They may not phrase it like that, but raising children is far more self-fulfilling than working a job could ever be for most people. I imagine in most cases, people prefer tons of hard work raising a child when compared to working the easy cozy job, because at the end of the day the job is just a means to an end.

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

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.

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.
