Interesting look into the past through photos. Some really good one's here:

What was **normal everyday life** like for people living 50, 100, or more years ago? Featuring old photos, scanned documents, articles, and personal anecdotes that offer a glimpse into the past.

Just another hotel clerk
There are a few places on reddit I'll look.
Most of them I won't share with ANYONE else...
O_O
Nothing at Reddit that is SFW is worth more than 5 seconds. The NSFW is worth 6 seconds and a wank ...
Reddit isn't worth anything, in the real world, in the end. It was always to polluted by libertarian bros for anyone who cared about the real world to do anything with it. I sometime read/post at the Nikon r/ just for giggles but I presume that since I don't play thier games I'll be given the side eye.

Well-known
I don't know, Sorry, but the first post on the front page when I went there was a colourized photo, which is problematical for me on a page about history.
I consider coloring in images from the past to make them pleasing to present day eyes to be disrespectful of both history and the work of the original photographer, but that's just me. I do see however that the majority of the images are posted as they originally appeared, but I have my own sources of nostalgia which are more specifically attuned to my own experiences.
I'll just add that I don't share the opinion that everything on reddit is worthless. The place is vast, some of it is crap, some of it is great - just depends on what you want to look at. I do however stay away from the schlok-shok subs like public_freakout and of course, anything political. Reddit's really just like any big city, avoid the slums and stay away from political riots.

Cameras. I has it.
Glanced at a few of those...
The one with the little kid on the lawn in Norwalk, 1950 - such a good photo. If someone with a name and connections made it, it would be in the MoMA.
