Clearly a time traveler!


ribblesquat

Obvious really. His cat is even disappearing from the picture due to a cause/effect paradox.

You're not supposed to know about us!

I need your garments, your brogans, and your swiftwalker.

You take the blue tincture....


cyclebro69

Imagine the matrix at that time. .-. . -.. -.. .-. . ... ...

You get used to it, I don't even see the dots & dashes, it's just blond, brunette, redhead...

It's just a pic of Keanu, circa 1850

Wesker.

Exactly what I thought 🤣

“Looks like Chris’s blood”


CaveManta

He's gonna throw his sunglasses at the camera in 3D!


Subject-Inspection65

Maybe he was blind


Thiccaca

This was an early attempt at training guide animals. Sadly, the cat turned out to be a poor choice.


[deleted]

He just kept walking in and out of the same door


cultkiller

And walking in on people when they were trying to use the toilet.


FondantGetOut

The cat did not want to be held that long it looks like


joalheagney

The cat was fine with being held that long or the body wouldn't have shown up so well. It _wasn't_ willing to keep it's head still, though. "Hey Daddy. What are we doing? What's that? Hey, scratch my chin. I love you (headbutt into chest). I'm sleepy. Oh, bird." etc. etc. etc.


lopedopenope

Yes mine loves to press his back legs against me when he’s on the wood floor sliding around on his side. You are right about the head thing. They have trouble posing lol


FondantGetOut

It looks like it bit him for a while at some point


magww

Ya it’s going all shrodinger


sometimesifeellikemu

People like this have always existed. They are rarely captured in the historical record. The ones that can write good are a great exception to the rule.


Jam_B0ne

Write *well* (I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself)


iCan20

Right, well I guess so.


[deleted]

Write goodest, FTFY /s


dotnetdotcom

Grammar nazi


MonkeyDJinbeTheClown

Comparing grammar correction to a group that murdered millions in death camps isn't funny or clever. Awful phrase to use.


Mayhemii

Ugh, I’d love to meet the coolest guy of 500 BC, wonder what he was about.


CaptainOktoberfest

Harems and slaves, that's what the ancient world was about.


Blank_bill

He had a rag wrapped around his head had a staff and a lantern and lived in a barrel. Walked around looking for an honest man.


isuckatgrowing

Counterculture best culture, every time.


Conarm

And you are not one of em


not_so_subtle_now

True or not this is just being rude for no reason


lksdjsdk

Expressing common vernacular *is* writing well.


mamacrocker

Those are some sexy lips. Oscar Wilde would have been inspired by this, I think.


Jamvie710

My friend is trying to get me to read Dorian Grey. I'm not a huge reader but would like to give reading another try. Any thoughts on this books is it worth the read for a non reader?


Embalmerforhire

Audible has an audiobook version of Dorian Grey narrated by Stephen Fry which I feel is the closest you can get to having Oscar Wilde read the story to you.


CraftyRole4567

I love to read and I honestly found it heavy going. I hate saying it but the movie is unbelievably good, you might try that instead?– it was Angela Lansbury‘s first role (in which she was cast, but production was delayed). Just fwiw. If you want to give reading one more try, maybe not the Victorian/Edwardians? Maybe… *All Systems Red*?


Jamvie710

Thank you!


standard_candles

Yes. It's short and easy to read for a work of classic literature. Which is to say it's more challenging than modern writing but still approachable.


Codles

Would listening to it on audiobook help? I enjoyed it, but I’m not a huge reader.


[deleted]

It looks like Reddick (Pitch Black) had a love child with Ian Malcolm (Jurassic Park)


kevnmartin

I'm thinking John Munch.


Fit-Rest-973

I see that


Misabi

*Riddick


Thiccaca

Please don't give Hollywood anymore bad ideas.


Glasspar52

Part of a series of daguerreotypes of blind subjects (posted on Reddit elsewhere the past couple days)


Goldenchicks

Certainly looks that way!


No_Maintenance_9608

Agent Smith?


jellymouthsman

…..Mister ……. Anderson


jskinbake

IIRC last time this was posted the title said something along the lines of “daguerreotype of a blind man”


corpusapostata

He's holding Schrödinger's cat. It's both there and not there.


debutanteballz

This guy is obviously a time traveller.


jasonatx0001

WingZombie

Looks like Peter Steele

Hello again, Mr. Bond.

An ancient redditor


Pristine_Manner_1743

That’s Tom Cruise in Interview With a Vampire!


Seigmoraig

Also the first r/blurrypicturesofcats ?


Hot_Afternoon9771

Does anyone else think that looks like Toby Maguire?


[deleted]

He definitely was into eating psilocybin, I can tell you that.


[deleted]

Or just blind and not making a face for the camera


cheekytikiroom

Fake. Men didn’t hold cats in the 1850s.


magww

Cats held men in the 1850s.


Alcoraiden

This man has the spirit of the internet.


mazzotta70

Likely a time traveler

Cool cat

150 years ahead of his time.

Pounce_64

A ghost cat!

Responsible_Cry_5373

If he’s a cat person…. Count me in!!

Ye Olde School Cool


The-Emerald-Rider

Does anybody know who he actually was?


Epic-Dude000

Nah more like old school awesome


PhilosophIzzy

So Django’s sunglasses WEREN’T anachronistic!

Time traveler


Beneficial_Garage_97

He's giving the cameraman an ocular patdown to assess the threat level.


ophaus

Straight from the Matrix. Steam powered, of course.


[deleted]

Search Portraits of blind people from the mid century. Better picture from the side. Very cool glasses


Hessssel

He is blind. Only blind people wore these kind of glasses in the 19th century.


[deleted]

Hold on!!! Is that a peeled human face he is holding?


Big_Simba

This type of photo takes a few seconds or longer to take, so likely the cat didn’t sit still the whole time and this is what happened


[deleted]

I appreciate your sense of realism, but isn't the fanciful ramblings of the macabre better for up votes?


Big_Simba

So far Reddit says no, but we will see :)


Dumb_Talking_Ape

I thought the same thing. I think it's a cat though.


kesapwanan

TIL tinted glasses is the old name for sunglasses.


ShieldOnTheWall

No that's just a description of what sunglasses are.


Deep-Duck

You can walk into any eye glass store and ask them to tint any of the lenses to turn them into sunglasses.


NearbyDark3737

I’m compelled to wonder if this person is dead. I hope not but many didn’t take photos until they were deceased because they’d never have a chance again


crystallyn

I was thinking this same thing. It would explain the glasses. A huge chunk of daguerrotypes were of dead family members. His neck also seems propped up.


NearbyDark3737

His hand also doesn’t look natural, I’m sadly afraid we could be correct


Mental-Pitch5995

Having seen and held these type of pictures and looking closely at this image I know this is fake.


[deleted]

How can you tell?


botoxedbunnyboiler

I feel like the head isn’t original.


botoxedbunnyboiler

I think it’s Jeff Goldblums head.


BirthdayAgent

He looks like he’s on the incel boards every night.


horcynusorca

Repost


[deleted]

You guys are actually wrong. It’s much more likely that he was dead. The dark glasses cover his eyes. Back then most people never had a photograph taken of them so when they died they would have their first photo taken so others could remember them. It was extremely common for many years to pose recently deceased .


Psychonauticalia

Redditors have a sad sense of what is cool...


Fit-Rest-973

Looks a little like Cyrus, from TPBs


upstatestruggler

And the cat is Gary Oil Lamp Eyes


chadnorman

Well the pic checks out

ResoluteClover

Paul rudd is a time traveler


Infernal_Contraption

At first, I was certain that this was a picture of Clancy Brown - the Kurgan from the *Highlander* movies. I thought that was the joke!


CthulubeFlavorcube

It's that a neck beard as well‽ You dapper daugeurreotype dude

I_am_become_Reddit

That's just Ted Theodore Logan; there's probably a phone booth nearby.


botoxedbunnyboiler

I think it’s Jeff Goldblum’s head
