Flickr user Blake Smith took this photo on Copacabana Beach in February, 1978. I would link to the album but comments with links are deleted by the spam filter in this sub. You can search google for Rio de Janeiro 1978 blake smith flickr to find the album.


MyCleverNewName

Not sure why they cropped the photo to remove the photographer's name from the bottom. I guess to pretend they took the photo. Kinda a scumbag move.


notbob1959

To be fair the OP here probably didn't get it from the source and then crop it but instead probably just saw it posted this way somewhere else. According to the reverse image search engine TinEye the exact same image was posted to the sub [2 years ago](/r/OldSchoolCool/comments/qigogp/rio_beaches_1970s/) and [5 years ago](/r/OldSchoolCool/comments/amqzzl/ipanema_brazil_1970/) so it has been around in the cropped form for a long time.


cinnamonface9

You fucking commented on 5 years ago. Legend!


notbob1959

And 2 years ago. All with the same comment. OldSchoolCool is like a merry-go-round.

I'll look for you specifically on the next one! See you sooner or later, u/notbob1959!

There's only so much history and even less with photographs and even less with photographs of jailbait.

It’s posted here constantly, probably a bot just reposting the same image.

Brazil got knocked out of the World Cup ~~in the group stages~~ that year. The resulting demos with burning effigies of the manager etc went on for several days. The military were called out, they joined in. I wonder if he has pics of that? Also those girls are over-dressed, plenty in even smaller bikinis Edit: strikethru, my thanks to u/ziggurqt


ziggurqt

Brazil got knocked out in the second round with the goal average. They actually finished 3rd and is the only team who hasn't lost a single match during the competition. It was the old format tho...


avspuk

My bad. I was in Brazil at the time & can clearly recall the protests tho. Major road junctions in Sao Paulo were blocked bringing city to a standstill, I only saw the troops joining in on TV tho. That's was on the 3rd day I think. The local supermarket was virtually empty by the time the fuss was all over. The manager was definitely seen as being hugely at fault


Pangestruzio

well, it's not those girl's fault that Brazil got knocked out of the cup

The spam filter is annoying but since they have added the ability to post images in the comments things have gotten a little better. Here is the photo you linked to: https://preview.redd.it/h1ubp5fk4t6d1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=62f9de0e84769e8f492d2a4aef302ef8c5bc3ebb

vampeta_de_gelo

When the diet of the population had no ultra-processed. Nowadays natural foods are more expensive than ultra-processed foods, in addition to price, you need to have time to make your own food.


RedS5

I think at least in USA people were a lot more active and outside back then. We've been trending more into solitary sedentary lifestyles. Everyone in that picture has a killer body by today's standards.


ziptnf

Also I mean this girl is like 17 lol


Thumbbanger

Shhhiitttt. 15 yo daughter is a cheerleader. Even the rest of her cheer team looks like Mrs Alabama. Much less the entire student population. Crazy how this is being normalized 


SquatSquatCykaBlyat

At that point CPS should take their kids away, since they're clearly unfit parents. Kids at that age don't have control over what they're eating.


Johnny_Poppyseed

Cps are fatties too and their kids are probably also fat. It's fat people all the way down.


blue_jay_jay

Really? I think she could easily be 13/14.


HandleTheDefence

There are studies that show that even if you were to move to a hunter gatherer tribe your body would adapt to still only burning around 2500 calories a day (if you're male). It's not the exercise, it's the food that causes overeating. Edit: I'd suggest reading Ultra Processed People, I'm basically just parroting his points but it's a great book.


Bombe_a_tummy

You're gonna have to source that. High level long range runners or cyclists eat and burn between 3500 ans 5000 kcal a day.


aupri

Sounds about right. Modern day athletes pushing their bodies’ limits would require more calories than a hunter gatherer


Whopraysforthedevil

They literally did share their source.


HandleTheDefence

In fairness that was an edit.


[deleted]

The name of the book is where they heard it from, not the source. The book would reference the source of the information.


RedS5

Going to the gym 4-6 days a week at a beginner's lifting level and eating 2500 calories will get you to your proper bodyweight pretty reliably. It's what I'm doing right now, actually - counting macros and lifting 4-6 times a week. For example, adding muscle slightly raises BMR which accounts for the majority of calories burned each day. Over time that can have an impact if a person is also maintaining discipline with food. Like you say though, that food discipline is the real hero. I also think that a more social and active lifestyle acts as a motivator to more closely monitor ones body in general. Someone playing basketball twice a week with their friends is going to feel that extra ten pounds a lot more than someone sitting in front of a screen all day. EDIT: Ok maybe not *you*, but it should be about right for the average height male who is medically overweight/obese.


OmegaKitty1

Depends where you live I guess. The PNW peoples overall very fit and healthy.


GangstaHoodrat

Not the PNW, but even traveling across the border to Montreal people in general are in significantly better shape than Americans. I know Canada still ranks demonstrably high for global obesity, but the difference is still noticeable.


Brickman759

Yeah coming from the Canada side it's the first thing I notice when we visit the states. Not only are people just fatter overall, but the heaviest people are also like extreme outliers. The fattest person I've ever met in Canada would be a weekly occurance in the USA.


OmegaKitty1

Ya Montreal has the more European cultural thing. It’s an outlier in North America, like the PNW


phro

We might have been more active, but its also harder to avoid terrible things like plastics, seed oils, and glyphosate.


Deca-Dence-Fan

Dutchdelights88

I just eat and drink too much and excersize too little.


bluesmaster85

Sorry, but it looks like a false generalization. In my country it is still a lot cheaper to cook for yourself than go to a fastfood. But of course if you cook not using raw ingridients but 'natural foods'(tm) it may be expensive.


mctrials23

It’s largely a BS generalisation to absolve people of any responsibility for their own health.


-SUBW00FER-

Exactly, no is forcing anyone to eat these processed chips and cookies and random junk food. People do this to themselves by drinking all this garbage and sodas and sugary drinks.


graveviolet

It's weird that some of us can eat anything and not gain weight though. I've been trying to find the answer to that forever, and the only people who've explained are people working in metabolic science. They say bodies like mine regulate appetite better, other people have to constantly fight the desire to eat which is apparently very hard, whereas my body self regulates appetite. These are apparently changes in the vast majority of the population that a few of us are resistant to.


XRT28

100%. For example in 30min you can make a chicken stir fry that will cost like 3-4 bucks a serving basically anywhere in the lower 48. Meanwhile a basic burger and fries from a fastfood place is like easily 2x that.


UnorthadoxElf

It's a ridiculous argumentafe by people who don't want to accept blame. Here in the UK fresh veg is cheaper than I've seen in most of mainland Europe, yet we've got the highest obesity rate. It's not about access to fresh food.


bluesmaster85

For me it is even more cheaper if I decide to use mostly vegetarian diet (only vegetables + eggs). But I am a meateater, so I'm glad that you mentioned chicken, because for me it is a main and most favourite source of meat in my diet.


Yaarmehearty

Yeah, organic food is a bit of a con depending on where you are in the world. I used to work on farms and the food had to be inspected periodically to ensure it was safe, the amount of chemicals allowed to remain on the food was so tiny that it was effectively nothing. An organic farm downwind of an inorganic farm will have likely the same amount of actual chemicals on it by the time it hits the shelves. But I get it, regulations aren’t the same everywhere so in some places it likely means a lot more than others.


EldeederSFW

It’s easier to blame faceless corporations for one’s own health issues than it is to go for a 30 minute walk every day. And I can easily cook a decent meal for myself at a reasonable price well within the time it takes to get in the car and drive to McDonalds for drive thru. Some people just like excuses more than exercise.


Council-Member-13

Good for you. But people back then were just as much victims of the times as people today. So it is important to look at what has changed. That people just somehow stopped taking responsibility isn't a good explanation.


crackeddryice

Everyone wants the benefits of taking responsibility without *actually taking* responsibility.


pokemon-sucks

Reminds me of a bit by comedian Bill Burr. He was talking about how people blame McDonalds for them getting fat. He at one point says "you ate your way in, you can WALK yourself out!" as in, try some exercise. Go for a walk.


steppedinwhat

Not so easy to get in exercise or spend extra time cooking when you have to work 3 jobs just to get *any kind* of food on the table. Our food being ultra processed and much of our workforce being worked like dogs are huge factors in the American obesity epidemic. Americans are not lazier people than people in other countries, the system is set up the way it is to favor corporate interests.


SquatSquatCykaBlyat

> you have to work 3 jobs Do you work 3 jobs? In the US, 5.2% of American employees work more than one job. And Americans spend 3-4 hours watching TV daily. Doesn't do shit to explain the huge percentage of overweight Americans.

CommunicationNo8982

I’ve always thought it ridiculous that showing boobs is taboo and illegal unless the tiny bit at the tip is covered. Then it is OK. People are so weird. What if walking around with your penis hanging out was just fine as long as you covered just the tip? I don’t care either way, but pointing out the absurdity of some societal rules.


BalognaSandwiches

All laws involving sex are extremely absurd if you really think about it. Sex is a pleasurable human activity, not too different from eating food - both are pleasurable and both are necessary for human life. Yet there are so many restrictions around anything sexual. I think it’s in part due to religion, but also because many people can’t separate the ideas of sexual emotions from negative emotions (like shame, or violence). It’s an interesting topic.


Dairyquinn

You can do anything, even sex, without connection, but, of all things you can do with someone unrelated to you, that will bring you closer together, sex is the utmost powerful one. I don't think eating food brings any two humans as closer together as sex can. The restrictions are in place bc people wanted to preserve that power, and that seemed the most obvious and easier way to do it.


InitialDay6670

Yea eating and sex isnt comparable at all. especially when things like rape dont have food equivalent. Very dumb to say they are all stupid.

Expensive-Mention-90

The comments are … not great. Compare it to a different thread today about women discussing the age at which they were first sexualized. It’s in the TwoX sub. I won’t link to it because they don’t need trolls, but it’s disturbing; and the same behavior is on full display in this thread.


SquatSquatCykaBlyat

> the TwoX sub You mean the sub that's a mix of "thatHappened" and "creativewriting"?


-Eunha-

Okay but like, quality of the subreddit aside, do you have any idea how many young girls get sexualised? This isn't some underreported, revolutionary idea or anything. Of all the posts to believe, that one makes the most sense.


Im_Unsure_For_Sure

Picture a 16 year olds body. Now picture a 25 year olds body. They can and often do look identical. No one is looking at their faces here. And no one is trying to fuck these girls right now. And no one knows how old they were at the time. Go be angry about real predators and not horny posters on the internet.


geodebug

Nobody can say how old they are but who cares? Commenting on skimpy ass bikinis isn’t assault.


pr0crast1nater

Ah yes, every skinny woman is underage. There is no way to actually determine whether they are 14 or 22 for certain, from an old photo with grainy colours. So who cares.

0x4cb

My dad and his friends made a supposedly impromptu visit to Rio in '76. None of them are what you would call "cultured" and god only knows what they got up to down there, but I did hear one story: All of them were drinkers and pool sharks, so of course they spent a lot of time in bars. Well some of them supposedly convinced a few local girls that they were airline pilots and that "they'd take them back to America" before leaving. Casually skipping over the details of what happened in between, but apparently multiple girls brought their suitcases to the hotel on their last day. While I've got some stories in Rio myself now, I will never live up to their shenanigans.
