This day in history is the birth of the modern world.
Border changes, presidents and all kinds of political reforms are interesting. But really, the world is being changed by things that few people remember. One of them is the launch of the world's first assembly line. On December 1, 1913, Henry Ford launched it to assemble his cars. The new technology has revolutionized not only the car market but also the entire planet - almost any of the products we use were made using this technology. And the industrial potential of the planet has jumped significantly.

We are learning to express ourselves correctly - not the New Year's fuss, but Saturnalia.
It was the feast in honor of Saturn that the Romans celebrated in December - and it was one of the main holidays of the year. Public affairs were suspended, schoolchildren went on vacation, criminals could not be punished, and slaves sat down at a common table with their masters.
The state spent insane amounts of money decorating cities and preparing an entertainment program for residents - they slaughtered animals, staged feasts, fights and theatrical performances.
The philosopher Seneca complained that every year, Saturnalia is celebrated for longer and longer - initially, it was only December 17, then the holiday was extended to 23, but in the end, they celebrated almost the whole of December.

In the photo, Gary Gygax - his wife suspected him of cheating and the marriage was going to hell. It was because Gary was missing with friends and wouldn't let her into the basement.
When a woman freaked out one day and followed Gary, she found him and his friends hunched over hand-drawn cards. Gary is the inventor of the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.

On December 12, 2015, almost all countries of the planet promised to reduce greenhouse gas levels and save the planet. Even the DPRK joined the agreement.
Is it worth mentioning that by 2023, emissions from enterprises have only increased, and ordinary people have been thrown taxes, restrictions and problems out of the blue.

On October 2, 1836, Charles Darwin returned from a five-year voyage aboard the HMS Beagle. The collected information about animals and plants formed the basis of his theory of evolution. Often, one can find statements that his theory was full of racism and sexism. In reality, this is not the case. Rather, on the contrary, Darwin was the first to declare that every single person on the planet belongs to the same species. Although during the slave trade, many doubted this very much.

Bernie Sanders, the future US presidential candidate, is once again detained by the police, Chicago, 1963.
This is probably his hundredth arrest in the photo, and before that, the police tore down the leaflets he hung, freed him from the chains with which he chained himself to protesting blacks, also lay down in the path of Willis's vans and sat in the "detention" many times.
