what do you mean it’s not loading? try refreshing, it’s a big picture, might take an hour or two to load, just keep staring at your phone.

This is the type of quality content I expected from the fediverse. I was not let down.

Who knew Edison and his wife dressed up as furries every night? So lucky we have a photo of it for posterity.

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).
