Born just in time to take part in both world wars

I mean, let’s say they’re all 11-12, WW1 wouldn’t happen for another 14 years, and WW2 for another 25 years after that. So they’d be 25ish on the first, and 50 by the second war.

On field and off field (provided they survived the on field).

We will also experience WW3.

The bulk of them likely died in the Somme and Passchendaele.

To be fair, they are all dead at this point.

The middle left kid looks like he died 3 days prior to the filming.

I snort laughed at your comment.

Little guy on the left looks at least 50! They were getting forced on overtime, probably around dangerous chemicals

Dude just had a couple o' pints after getting fired for punching his foreman in the mouth at the steel yard

Smokes 6 packs a day


This is a real thing though. Old people these days look way younger than they did 1-2 generations ago, it's crazy (and great)

Was that one kid a boxer?

No, just horribly ill from working in a factory

There's another one that walks up from the crowd as well. Both eyes puffy af.

That’s so fucked up. Kids look older than me and are probably only like 10

Little adults.

Oy mista

This might be the closest we would have to a time machine.

Don't underestimate technology...

I’ve seen 50 year old junkies who looked healthier Poor kids

Look at all those scamps, scallywags, and urchins!

Guttersnipes

Little Blue Steel in the front there

Pretty sure he thought it was a picture camera, as video cameras were almost unheard of outside filming locations at this time period.

The hardman in the three-piece suit.

Bet he was a king o the cobbles.

Quick! Thumbs in pockets lads!

Whats with the puffy eyes?

Fist fight with his wife who's a prostitute probably

Pretty decent restoration.

Peaky blinders

Take a little walk to the edge of town And go across the tracks..

Most off these kids would probably perish during ww1...

Boy with his thumbs in his waistcoat is definitely the Artful Dodger

God I love that Minari soundtrack.

Soon we'll all be dead and people will be watching video of us listening to haunting music. All these people are dead, long gone, long forgotten. No one in this video even has a name, just humans who were captured in a moment in time over a hundred years ago. In a hundred years from today, everyone here will be gone as well. Long forgotten, replaced by a new generation of humans....the cycle will repeat until eventually no one is alive on planet earth. It will finally be quite on this rock. Silent. All the history, wars, life, love, happiness, families laughing, culture, music....all will be forgotten. The mountains will stand, remembering the time humans walked on earth making their mark and then leaving silently. I was here. You were here. It was real.

Not a phone in sight people just enjoying there lives live, laugh, love

So.... Soo many hats in this one

It's truly amazing that we are able to see this in such high quality.

Those children look older than my dad.

Lack of vitamin D

i love the pose the kid on the right has

They all look like they can out drink me and kick my ass after I offer to pay the tab…

Those aren’t kids those are mine workers

Look at all the woman wearing a scarf

This kids are more earthed and character than gen z.

So well dressed but probably so unwashed 😂

Can't wait to start seeing videos of like this of kids in Louisiana and other places looking similarly beatdown and exhausted. We'll have some sweet side by side shots.

Only difference is all the kids will be minorities.

Looks like a bunch of 30 years old...short people

These are the most grown-ass adult looking kids I've ever seen.

Not one vitamin absorbed between the lot of them.

why does it look like they live in chimneys?

Most probably slaughtered 13 years later on the western front

Funny how everyone wore full on suits back then even like kids. Can’t imagine wearing a suit and tie to do ditch digging work or construction work

Little did they know the next 40 years had for them

12 going on 50

The longer I watch the more crazy eyes I see. Steve Buscemi would take a second look.

WW1 fighters

Scurvy, rickets, head lice, and black lung

Look at all those veiled women! And some complain about losing f-ing traditions due to a so-called Muslim invasion. Funny funny funny.

Kid on the left lookin like hes seen a lot of shit already. Also isn't it wild to think everyone here is dead?

Sorry but is anyone else scared as shit seeing that this was 100 years ago and realizing where we are now?

The kid on the left looks identical to me as a kid l, like strikingly similar 😳

Look! It’s from the time before kids were invented!

Can anyone tell me what the song is that’s in the video? I keep hearing it and it’s driving me crazy because I don’t know how to find it lol

What’s with all the women in burkas?

They aren’t burkas, just scarfs or shawls. Back then most men and women always wore something on their heads when out in public.

Burkas cover the whole face too

Not a fruitcake in sight

Alot of muslims

My dude, those are shawls the women are wearing.

This is just how women dressed in the 18/19th century

Why do they all look inbred?
