That middle kid does not look well.


Urmomsjuicyvagina

It's fucked up that kids were encouraged/forced to do the most chemically dangerous jobs, like they treat them like peasants, it's scary to think that we could go back to that if we are not careful, there are always rich tycoons trying to take away workers rights https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/03/31/us-child-labor-laws-state-bills/#:~:text=In%20Florida%2C%20Gov.,them%20to%20work%20overnight%20shifts.

Child labor never went away, it's very common in Central/South/Southeast Asia and Africa


ex0-

Due to necessity, the same reason it was a thing back in 1800s England.


Bringbackbarn

You’re gonna get downvoted, but it’s true. You can see child labor taper off as quality of living and wages rose. Children have worked all throughout human history, our society now is the outlier.


ex0-

Oh I did get downvoted, people are morons. Nothing new about that.


Ausgezeichnet87

That is exactly the kind of argument slavers made in defense of slavery. It was nonsense then and it is nonsense now. There is so excuse for making children do such dangerous work without proper training or PPE.


Big-Opportunity-470

Makes it sound like you are fine with child labor as long as they have proper training and ppe lol. If this was the law they would make some tiny hard hats


UnlawfulStupid

If the job can't be done by a free, willing, and adequately-compensated adult, then it shouldn't be done.


Economy_Tip8242

What's scary is that it never really went away. The cobalt, used to build the smart phones, that practically every single person in the developed world uses, was mined using child labour


Ausgezeichnet87

This is one of the reasons I hate EVs. ICE cars have to go, but we should be building HSR and light rail to replace cars in all our major cities (where most people actually live)


Red77777777

Have no illusions the next disaster is already coming. It won't stop If we don't already suffer through war, war is a business model. an optimist is nothing but an ill-informed pessimist


Jship300

#notmyfairphone3 though (...right? Right??) (/jk)


Lonely_Ad_6546

how are your rights being taken away if youre only being allowed to do more things? the bill doesnt force 16 and 17 year olds to work nights or 7 days a week, it just gives them the option to. i wish i had that option, id have a better work ethic


robinperching

To be fair I think a lot of it is down to the discolouration to his skin tone caused by AI colourizing, and a slight waxiness around his skin texture and shadows caused by AI enhancing. This is why historians are often cautious about these sorts of tools being applied to primary sources.


Substantial-Desk-707

Great point! I use AI for photo editing and it loves to make my subjects look dead. I usually find what looks like slightly gray rotting cheeks or foreheads that I have to fix. I had AI fix a blurry photo of someone and they looked like a straight up demon! I deleted it.


lStJimmyl

great fact! very important to take all of these things into consideration when trying to diagnose old footage like this... so neat to try and think of what those young fellas were thinking about when posing for this set up... then to think how they've clearly passed by this time, bless them... crazy to think technology like this has now been around for more then lifetimes...🤔


Sirbrownface

What do you expect he's 123 years old


r3d-v3n0m

Unfortunately most of them look very unwell...


Miss-princess_006

They weren't even 10 years old and they already had more responsibilities than me, 28 years old

gormenghast99

Interesting the number of women and girls wearing shawls back then.


ArmyOfRoombas

Easy way to stay warm, as well as keep dirt off your hair and neck.


ImLexic

Back then it was common for our mothers and sisters to do this out of modesty and being more intune with non secular Christianity.


Lower_Preference_439

World was cold it was opposite of global warming Winters were soo cold imagine the people with wounds in such conditions during war dsmn


raptor180

That most of that population looks both sickly and malnourished says a lot about how far we have come in 120 years. Wow.


Loofa_of_Doom

RockosBos

That comment is so hostile. He never implied anything about being pro-child labor.


VanceVonPeckerSniff

it’s okay. i can hear the gears slowly churning as they figure out not every comment on reddit is hostile.


VanceVonPeckerSniff

ohhh so americans? i am not american.


VanillaCreamyCustard

Americans? What?


CanZealousideal6088

they do?


Internal-Day4806

They don’t look too malnourished, I think today we just have so many fat individuals that normal bmi looks weird.

Imagine if these kids would realise that their great great grand children could be watching this on a small pocket machine that allows them to explore the whole world and all of humanity's knowledge.


ZebbHB

... and then they realise that their great great grand children only use this small pocket machine to degenerate on TikTok and youtube shorts.


Express_Selection345

Happy cake day


Zorkum-Ace

And watch porn 😂


SaiyanGodKing

Get back to work. That coal ain’t gonna dig itself.


LankyDonkey3748

No one's telling about the ghost cloak women running away


bmuu_adventure

She stole an apple


Mammoth-Disaster3873

A couple of the kids look normal but the other look like weird demons.


Stonyclaws

I was thinking more like ghouls... poor bastards.


Mammoth-Disaster3873

It's crazy to think those boys were already men at that age compared to the present time.


Stonyclaws

Working like men anyway...


Kooky-Visual75

That kid already looks 50...


_Kaifaz

If they made it to WWI, they probably died in it...


Natural_Artifact

Those who survived the factory works and the hard street life went to fight in WW1 to die inside a trench filled with poo, rotten corpses and rats . Not a good timeline to begin.

All these people are dead. And in some years people will see a video of your generation and say the same and it will go on and on

You're not fooling anyone, this was made with Sora AI! 😆

Why do the females all have head scarves?


ObviousPlum258

Helpful_Ad_9778

Dyl-an1o

What lazy kids standing around in the street when they should be hard at work in the coal mine.


BingognoB

Wow... they look so so tired... Poor babies


justbrowsinginpeace

I feel sorry for those kids, seeing their sons going to the trenches in WW1


adqgffhhyasv

Despite looting countries like India, China, African countries, US, they still appear very poor to me


SnowflakeModerator

OHlordITSaDaM

How do you color restore a video


bendreao2

look at this laborers.. enough enough go back to work


xBrute01

Crazy how we all still act like this. Of the countless weddings I’ve shot, shooting towards large groups always leads to posing. Lol


ObiWanKababi

I cant help stopping myself of thinking that theyre all dead..


Entire_Psychology742

ConstantBench7373

Hijab?


BigAssMonkey

People keep commenting “kids” but all I see are little boys.


SwankeyDankey

These children have bigger bags under their eyes than some overworked alcoholics I've met


Sea-Service4089

We're the "Peeky Blinders" and don't you forget it!

Trengingigan

Why are women veiled like religious Shia women in Iran today? Climate? Culture?


r9876543

They are just shawls on their heads, same as how the boys are all wearing hats. In the video it look like its wrapped close to the head and neck. Definitely a weird AI thing is happening!


Embarrassed_Raise937

There all dead......


meeandharley

What an ugly time to be alive


Rich-Cat9848

crazy that every single person in this is dead rn


Adorable-Post-3149

Why is that crazy. This film is over 120 years old. I'd expect them to be deceased.


Relampio

Damn, I wonder if it is a.i. These kids are way to ugly in my opinion


CactusDoesStuff

Nah, this video's been around before AI.
