These Insane Things Used to be 100% Legal

2:15 "Smokers felt like an endangered species" They already are since smoking makes them die out

It is truly amazing how they can post multiple times a day and keep the quality insanely high. Keep up the good work!

I was stopped by a cop for "you looked distracted." I was doing nothing but driving. 😠

Oh shoot. Mailing children is illegal now. Oh, uhh… “Hey Jim, would you gimme back that package?”

I'm 40 years old, and I remember people smoking in theaters and malls. My mom use to be able to smoke at school, and my grandfather says he remembers smoking in the hospital after he broke something and had to get a cast. I do miss being able to smoke WHILE I worked though. And since I'm a metal fabricator, it's not like what I'm already breathing in 10 hours a day is any better then the cancer sticks lol

Second hand smoke is why my grandfather quit smoking. For the health of his wife, my grandmother. Edit: he learned of secondhand smoke after watching a segment on the news that included Ronald Reagan Surgeon General in the late 80s.

Fun fact: New Zealand will raise the smoking age every year so that anyone born after 2008 will never be able to smoke.

My adoptive mother Irene smoked like a freight train while I was growing up even though I had asthma. When I walked into our living room downstairs you could see different levels of blue cigarette smoke all through the living room

Fun fact: no US states actually have any actual laws against kids dropping out, period. HOWEVER the parents can be charged with neglect and CPS can take children away for this offense. There was a situation in 2021 in Oklahoma where a father decided to pull his daughter out of school and homeschool her, because he felt she wasn’t getting a decent education and she was getting bullied. Upon removing her from school, the principal called CPS and the daughter was removed from his custody, and he was sent to jail for neglect. The case is still ongoing.

13:17 Correction. It was the 18th amendment that made alcohol illegal. The 19th amendment is the one that gave women the right to vote. 😂

When I was a kid I remember TV shows and commercials, people saying “one for the road“ and they meant one alcoholic beverage, seriously..

I always love watching and listening to y’all’s videos at work helps pass the time and inform me of history or if I could survive a scary movie I always love it!!!!

This video just shows how much times change in so little time

This channel is addicting been bingeing since I found it

Bald Eagles are truly beautiful. I've seen them up in the Yoop. If I found one of their feathers on the ground though, I would probably risk jail to get it. We're still in the prohibition era too. It's just called "The War on Drugs" now, and it's an even bigger failure than prohibition back then. The criminals are getting richer, more heavily armed and more ruthless than ever. A drug kingpin on one of those War on Drugs documentary series said, "drugs will never be legal, and that's the way we want it."

I still can’t believe that until the early 80s, people where allowed to smoke in airplanes. My god, fire is the one thing you want to run away from like crazy and yet people where allowed to create controlled fires where people can’t run if it gets out of control.

In the UK it’s illegal to use a cellphone, or any other handheld device, at all while driving. Anyone caught doing so can be given a £200 (approx $250) fine and 6 “penalty points” (getting 12 points means your driving license is revoked).

Wouldn't be so sure about Vatican city not having any kids...

On the underage drinking laws: In Wisconsin, you can legally drink at any age, as long as your parent/legal guardian is okay with it, and is supervising.
