Fake History Porn

Welcome to /c/fakehistoryporn@lemmy.world , where fake history is made. Find a historically significant photo, come up with a fake history title, post it, laugh.

The name is a reference to the fact that the pictures should be worth marveling at. This is NOT a place for hardcore pornography. Tasteful nudity is fine as long as it fits within the context of the post (please mark it as NSFW).

I sat next to him on a flight. It is something I'll always remember.

Did he cry the whole flight, or was he a pretty chill baby?

I've been posting these awhile, this is one of the best comments I've seen. Thank you.

Did you talk to him? Did you ask him to punch you in the face?

He had Parkinson's and could not talk. But, he wanted me to talk to him, according to the flight attendant, to keep him company.

Awe... Hopefully you were good company and he wasn't thinking "I sure wish this guy would shut up". Just being in the same room as him is an honor.

He was able to make his wishes known. When we landed I walked him through the airport. He could not walk well. The odd and beautiful thing was everybody in the airport would stop, stare and smile. The love and admiration was almost palpable. Ye gods it was a sight.

You could take on Screaming Steve McMean? Screaming Steve's so fast, he finishes his milk before his momma pours it! He's so mean he chews through pacifiers! He's so strong he shoves the square block through the triangle slot!

"That's right. It goes in the square hole."
