Title mostly. have you guys seen something that is illustrated like that but never in real life. EDIT: I WISH I COULD HOST A PICTUTE FOR ALL THE FUCKERS WHO HAVE NEVER SEEN IT SO BELIEVES I AM TALKING ABOUT SUNDAES.SUNDAES AND CONE ICE CREAM ARE VERY DIFFERENT HOW CAN ANYONE CONFUSE IT.
This kind of bee hive isn’t real. It’s an old fashioned type of man-made bee hive but I spent a large portion of my life thinking there was a species of bees out there somewhere making these.
Haha those are hornet’s nests.
Well… The world is a lie.
Sure is my friend
Some kinda do. And I could see how an artist would cartoonize that into what you showed.
Or paper wasps’ nest
Those are called Bee skeps
Nurses in white dresses…
Hobos with their belongings hanging off a stick…
Doctors with a mirror on a head band…
edit = Lump sugar! I was talking with someone and they mentioned it, and I realized I hadn’t seen it on the shelves for years. It was the sign of a classy home or restaurant to have lump sugar served with tiny tongs.
I remember nurses in white and doctors with a mirror on a headband when I was a kid in the 70s.
I guess I’ll own up to it. I remember soda fountains. The ones at Woolworth’s would sometimes have a string of balloons above the counter. If you ordered a banana split you would pick a balloon; the soda jerk would pop it and you paid the price on the slip of paper inside the balloon. According to a search the stores lasted until 1997, but they were gone from my area long before that.
I remember going to Woolworths in the late 80s and early 90s! They didn’t have soda fountains by then, but they always had fun toys I would convince my dad I needed lol
Head mirrors were a thing.
The technical term is “stick and bindle”
Bindlestiff can refer to the person or the luggage.
My mother still has her white nurses hat and I took my father’s mirror headband. It’s out of style, but it was once normal.
Nurses in white dresses…
You can still find that in some pinning ceremonies, particularly in the South. Putting my bearded Shrek ass into one would’ve been amusing. The white scrubs and shoes alone they put me in were funny enough.
Nurses in white dresses
The Towering Inferno was on the other night and there was a nurse, not at the hospital, but one at the scene in a white mini dress, having to bend down to care for people on the floor. That shit is so impractical, but gotta maintain that male fantasy I guess… 😂🤦♀️
Doctors with a mirror on a head band
I have seen doctors use them, but never keep them on unless they are.
Hobos with their belongings hanging off a stick
does me running away from home as a toddler count? I actually did this because I saw it in the cartoons… 😂
I did an image search an apparently short nurse dresses were a thing back in the 1970s. According to my unscientific poll, dresses started being replaced by scrubs and pants suits around the mid 1980s. Anecdotally it was older nurses who were the ones who were most resistant to the change.

The bag suspended from a stick is called a bindle was also real. I suspect these were just replaced by backpacks that were cheap/ubiquitous enough.
Lump sugar is very much a thing! More sugar in packets now but still at work stuff there’ll be a bowl of lumps.
Or is there. Yknow now I’m doubting myself. Look at what you’ve done!
How about a bag with a big dollar sign on it? I even worked at a bank for years and never saw one.
Lol, my dad was so disappointed when he took out a large sum of cash for a large person and asked if they had a money bag. She said yes, then handed him the plastic bag that they give to the Brinks trucks. He had the image in his mind of a burlap sack with a $ on it.
On que my man this is the kind of stuff i am talking about
People smiling in corporate pictures, tf are they happy bout?? Never seen that shit
“they paid my ass to smile, and I’m smiling about the money”
It’s less about being happy and more about not wanting to be bothered about it later. If some corporate big shot sees that you’re the only one scowling in the picture then you could be passed over for a promotion later, or even worse someone might actually come ask you why you weren’t smiling. The best strategy for any kind of corporate gathering is to just smile and get it over with so everyone can stop pretending they want to be there and hopefully go home early
Oh trust me I’m the god of fake smiles. By sister calls my ability to fake laugh eeire.

A lot of this stuff is just outdated imagery that became tropes from when they first reached mass media in the 50s and kept getting repeated.
Hmm kinda makes sense
Never seen anyone slip on a banana peel in my life.
Banana peels were used as a visual euphemism for dog shit for so long people stopped realizing they were a euphemism.
horse shit was everywhere until the car.
Oh I’ve done it, caught myself before ending arse up but banana peels are slippery as all fuck.
It depends what they’re on. On a tile floor yeah you’ll probably slip. On a sidewalk? Very unlikely unless it’s rotting and mushy
Mythbusters did that in an episode and concluded that banana peels aren’t actually slippery like they had been portrayed in cartoons. The only way they got the full comic effect of a slip was to use industrial amounts of artificial insemenation lubricant.
One of those train things where you basically propel it using a sea saw, often in cartoons.
A handcar!
I used to think all my problems would be solved if I had one of those.
iirc there’s one in “Oh, Brother Where Art Thou?”
It’s called a hand car. (I learned that from a crossword puzzle.)

Want a different kind of movie fuckery. The typical Eagle cry that is used universally in all Hollywood films is actually the call of a red-tailed Hawk. Which was chosen for being more imposing, dramatic and majestic, unlike Eagle’s actual sound which is more like this.
Wow I’ve been bamboozled real bad with this one…
TIL! Thanks

Never seen a sandwich topped with an olive in real life
This is definitely a thing.
They probably stopped it because people would impale their mouth on the toothpick somehow and sue
I have seen burger with cherry tho if that counts
I don’t think I ever saw them in ice cream comes, but rather sundaes.
Be the change you want to see in the world. Put a maraschino on top of your ice cream.
You never actually need to use as much toothpaste as is commonly depicted. A fraction of that will more than get the job done.
Spherical cartoon bombs… kinda existed, but went out of style in the 19th century.
I suppose there might be rare instances at livestock shows where you might see fluffy white cloud sheep, but most sheep I’ve ever seen in person are about as filthy as any other outdoor dwelling livestock, which is to say, fairly.
A happy family
I’m sorry for you. But you can be the change you want to see. Break the cycle.
Why is this being downvoted?
Empathy and encouragement are not bad things, unless y’all want to stay toxic. 🤔
Friendly remaining that absence of kids (if you don’t want them of course) counts as breaking the cycle.
Whales spouting water. Not blowing a little bit like they do when they surface. Blowing copious amounts of water out of their blowhole like squirtel
I don’t know if this counts but I was always disappointed that real life pea shooters and water pistols were nothing like their comic representations, that worked like machine guns and hoses respectively. I suppose the closest we ever got was the Super Soaker.
Oh, and I’ve never seen a catapult made from a Y shaped stick.
For the catapult, do you mean a slingshot?
I made one of these when I was a kid using a ton of rubber bands. One of the “arms” flew off and hit me in the face. It was definitely not as fun as the cartoons advertised.
Yes, I always called them catapults as a kid and I guess it stuck!
Yup its a fucking dissapointment
I’ve never seen an ice cream cone with the cherry on it, but I’ve had plenty of sundaes that looked exactly like the images of ice cream in cartoons and such.
