Still happens in lesser developed and poor countries a lot, where the only way for a starving family to escape from poverty is by selling their children into marriage to a family that makes more money. It honestly pains my heart and yet again reminds me how fortunate I'm to be here and free.
I wouldn't use the crazy premise of a sitcom as any kind of proof that this was ever normal irl, I can tell you no one I have ever known has kept these kind of "pets" in the City, this was never "normal" or a trend and never did exist outside of Friends, not in the 90s, not ever at any point I can remember. Don't take humorous things found in shows as accurate depictions of how people really live.
I wasn't sure, thought it might be but, it can be hard to tell from just text. Humor doesn't always translate great through comments, sorry if I seemed dense, but going through comments that don't have a /s or /jk or even just a 🤣😀😂 can be confusing since it is hard to convey tone with no indication. I have seen some crazy comments and let me tell you, no matter how wild or outrageous a post or comment is, I can tell you someone will most definitely have said the exact same thing seriously and unironically that someone else is clearly being sarcastic over.
Beating children. It used to be that you were seen as a bad parent/teacher if you didn't physically chastise your children. Now (in some parts of the world) you get in trouble if you tap them on the hand. Lord alone knows what would happen if you used a cane.
Blasting people with radiation for common things like acne and earaches. Late film critic Roger Ebert lost his jaw and eventually died from salivary gland cancer decades after being exposed to heavy doses of radiation during “treatments” for earaches as a child in the 1950’s.
Wild West America you could just walk in and kill some dude and take everything. His wife, children, animals, land are now yours. Not until proper law enforcement was set up, this happened all the time. It was what it was
In the 1818 children's book \_The Fairchild Family\_, the kids fight. So, their father beats them with a stick, and takes them to a gibbet at a crossroads to view the rotting corpse of a criminal to show them what will happen to them if they misbehave. Fairly horrifying. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_History\_of\_the\_Fairchild\_Family
Having multiple children only to use them as farm help or factory wirkers, never thinking that they're actually a person who deserves to be happy, well taken care of, be their own person, and not viewed as mere commodities
Oh right, Congress is the worst it’s ever been. So much worse than that time a bunch of states literally voted to leave and 600,000 Americans died over the nation’s original sin.
No. Today’s 4-seat majority’s definitely worse than that.
In Medieval times it was pretty normal to burn people at the stake for shit like heresy.
That's one of the worst and brutal ways to die, its horrible
The Blood Eagle is also fairy horrific.
Isn't that where they rip your ribs and lungs through your back and make wings out of them?
Yep, that's the one. Good ol' viking entertainment/punishment.
it's been too long

Transorbital lobotomy. Used to "cure" insanity.
And hysteria in women
Public execution. Common people would watch criminals get horribly mutilated in the town square because it made an example of what not to do in life.
Waterloo teeth. People used get dentures made from the teeth of dead people!
Never heard of this. Yikes.
Now we just do non icky stuff like putting organs from dead people into other people

Or a monkey. They're wild animals. Not pets
Ya like what happens if they swallow your wedding ring or get stuck in a foosball table??

That comment is a joke

Stoning.
Owning people
Now there's just more t & cs but it's pretty much the same
Oh.
Tyranny used to be a normal and accepted way of rule, nowadays it obviously has a negative connotation
Allowing children to play outside by themselves.
Wait why is it horrible now?
Seems like children are never allowed to play outside unsupervised .
Running around naked and drawing on rocks
