So, this list also has some dating advice from 1921. One of the tips is to always be a good dancer because, apparently, in the '20s, that was the key to someone's heart. I guess it makes sense; if you could do the Charleston, you were basically the Brad Pitt of the '20s. But imagine if we applied that logic now. "I'm sorry, I can't date you. I've seen your TikTok dance, and it's a dealbreaker." It's like the dating app profiles would have a dance skills rating next to their photos.
And get this, it says that women should be coy and let the man take the lead. Well, nowadays, if you wait for a guy to make the first move, you might be waiting until the next total solar eclipse. We're in the 21st century; if you like someone, just send them a meme or something.

Let's talk about technology. According to these notes, in 1921, technology was a bit different. You know how we complain about slow internet? Well, in 1921, if your carrier pigeon was having a bad day, you were out of luck. Can you imagine sending a text message back then? "Just sent a raven with the message LOL. Should arrive in a fortnight." And cameras! Oh, man. In 1921, taking a selfie was a whole ordeal. You had to set up a giant camera on a tripod, pose for an hour, and then wait two weeks for the picture to develop. No wonder people had that serious, stoic look in old photos; they were just tired of holding a smile for so long.
Nowadays, we've got smartphones with face recognition. In 1921, the only thing recognizing your face was your reflection in a spoon. "Yep, still got a mustache.

You know, I recently stumbled upon this list of "all occasions in 1921." And let me tell you, it's like a blast from the past. Apparently, in 1921, it was an occasion if you found a decent pair of suspenders. Nowadays, we just hope our pants stay up, and if they do, that's the real occasion! But in 1921, they were probably throwing parties for just about anything. Seems like everything was an event back then. "Oh, it's Tuesday! Let's celebrate!" I can picture people going, "Hey, did you hear the news? They just invented sliced bread!" And everyone's like, "Well, break out the champagne! This changes everything!"
I'm just wondering, what would they think of our celebrations now? "Guess what, folks? They've got this thing called the internet, and you can order pizza without talking to anyone!" In 1921, that would have been like discovering fire or inventing the wheel.
Seems like we've downgraded our appreciation for the little things. Imagine if they time-traveled to our era and saw us celebrating Netflix adding a new season. They'd be like, "Really? That's the best you got? We were partying for a good harvest, and you're excited about more episodes of a show?

So, this list from 1921 also includes tips on socializing. It's like a guide on how to be the life of the party in the roaring '20s. One of the tips is to always carry a flask of your favorite beverage. Now, I don't know about you, but I think this is a tradition we should bring back. Imagine going to a job interview and just casually taking a sip from your flask. "Oh, this? It's just water. From the fountain of confidence!" But here's the thing, the guide also suggests never being seen without a cigarette. Can you picture that in today's world? "Sorry, boss, I can't come to the meeting; I left my cigarette at home." We'd all be walking around like chimneys, trying to seal business deals with smoke signals.
And then there's advice on how to properly greet someone. It says, "Greet your friend with a hearty handshake, but don't be afraid to give them a friendly slap on the back." I tried that at a party last week, and let me tell you, my friend's chiropractor is still sending me thank-you cards.
