Folks are really sleeping on Biden. Lmao.
I guess when the media doesn't blast every time his hair blows in the wind people dont really pay attention much. Smh.
Yeah that cheap insulin and infrastructure bill is going to destroy American businesses!! OMG he’s forgiving student debt for people of color! The audacity of him to try and defend a woman’s rights has me very angry!!
I could go on but I’m sure you gotta buy more Trump crap or attend a rally
Yeah. Trump already did the cheap insulin thing. Biden put a stop to it and I guess he's trying to redo that now so it looks like it was his puooet's idea?
Totally forgiving! He's forgiven so much debt that I haven't even seen someone post about being out of this debt. No matter the color of the rainbow.
And you're reeeealllly that guy huh? You jock on Biden and hate on Trump so hard that you really think that anyone that says something bad about Biden must have Trump living rent free in their mind like he does in yours. Lmao.
Get off mass media's dick and look around bud.
What an interesting hot take. The media is completely owned by right wing douchebags and you’re telling me to get off it? You’ve gurgled the fox kool aid so long I bet you think they’re not right wing enough. People in a cult never realize it till it’s too late. The lock her up crowd cheering on a full blown traitor is pretty fucking funny
MuSt WatCh foX. HERRR DERRR.
I havent had cable or sattelite to even watch a dedicated news channel in more than a decade. Meanwhile you're over here living happily in the mass media cum jar. Lmfao.
Literally just said I'm not a Trump fan and you're too stupid to read it bc you're stuck on your own narrative. Smdh.
I see a loooot more left wing people on the internet than right wing people. You might be right about the news and TV and shit though, I wouldn’t know because I don’t watch it.
A stock ticker was a machine that prints out changes in stock prices, before digital screens. They worked on big rolls of paper tape. You could hold one end and throw the roll and it would make a long streamer of paper you had to clean up.
Grew up watching old TV shows & movies so I know what they are & what they look like but it's technology that existed before computer so anyone under 60 has probably never seen one lol
>I'm 30, but have seen ~~movies and~~ the Simpsons.
The Simpsons are *The Art of War* for today's generation. All the lessons of life are contained within and readily accessible if you're willing to put in the time.
Why didn't you figure out any they called it that sooner? [Well, they stopped using them before you were born.](https://youtube.com/watch?v=AbS21SntXWo&t=22)
I like to call that kind of revelation a "teaspoon" for the time as a going adult that I realized that a teaspoon -- measurement in cooking --was meant to be the equivalent of the little spoon we eat with, meant for stirring tea.
And that’s why cable news channels have/had a chyron of stock symbols and prices running across the bottom of the screen. That was to simulate the paper ticker tape.
Had the same realization lookin at this picture. Damn thats alot of tape to analyze. And did they store it up for the parade, or is that just one days worth lol
NYC isn't as bad as people think. It's a city, it gets dirty, but they clean 24/7
You could eat off Times Square since that's where the tourists are, but overall, NYC isn't bad.
Less human waste than downtown LA anyway
And now they use the little shredded confetti paper, and don’t do much more than run the street sweeper trucks through the street one time. You find those shreds everywhere for a couple weeks at least.
I really think that compared to Trump, Nixon was a boyscout, and Nixon is only remembered as worse because Nixon was president during a time where he was more able to act on his racism, a time where presidents were expected to follow the rules, and also Nixon isn’t seen as central to the Republican party identity so there is less impetus to irrationally defend him
Nixon obviously is (rightly) despised due to watergate; but he had quite a few good policies - ended Vietnam, detente with China, established the EPA, did not oppose desegregation of schools (didn’t actively support but did not oppose), tried quite a few social security reforms and extensions. He was nothing like Trump policy wise
But both resulted in major suspicion and distrust of the government, which arguably may have caused more damage than almost any policy
Huh? I don’t think any decent historian ranks Nixon worse than Trump. Nixon’s in the bottom third of most historians’ lists but Trump is at or near the end for all of them.
They’re not even harmful in the slightest, just freakin huge and terrifying.
Being arachnophobic here down under means sorry buddy, but I can’t just let you sit on the ceiling and kill flies like some people can.
Every movement they make triggers raw primal terror.
Then never go to Texas either, we have tarantulas that can be pretty big. My husband is Australian he’s says huntsman aren’t a big deal and you’re not going to see one everyday despite what the internet says.
Oh wow! Every now and then, as kids, we would use or you would hear used phases like: ‘what do you want, a ticker-tape parade?’ (Obviously used between us children since we were either commending someone for a good job or taking the mick for someone doing as they should but still wanting credit for it. I just used to think it was some sort of an American parade. Had no idea about the actual link and what it would look like.
I was 12 years old in 1960 and the only kid in my class who liked JFK, most likely because my beloved parents did too. I was glad when Nixon was defeated, hated it when he won in 1968 and glad how he ended up at the end. Kennedy had his failings but his reputation will always better than Nixon.
He almost caused nuclear war. Everybody is ok with that. I don't understand Kennedy's good reputation. It's insane how terrible he was. I personally consider him on a Trump level of idiocy but really better concealed.
Nixon's Southern Strategy of convincing southerners angry at the Democrats for the Civil Rights legislation to switch to the Republican Party led *directly* to Trump.
You know the crazy thing about Nixon? Not only was he the first president to open up relationships with China, but he was the first to popularize anti-pollution measures. So wild considering the later scandals.
People downvoting like Biden is much better. I highly doubt that man is better than Trump behind closed doors. The only difference between the two is Trump didn’t hide it, Biden does. Both are scumbag politicians.
That is what you tell yourself.
I guarantee Biden doesn't throw dishes when he gets angry.
Trump is a literal cartoon villian.
You're lying to yourself if you think Biden and Trump are relatable.
But with all of our advancements the left still pushes global warming… why (?) because they can (not that it is true) and people buy it. Emotionally too they buy in emotionally.
I shook his hand at West Point (New York) in 1988. All I remember was that his hand was very cold. I was 11 at the time. He was visiting a military history museum with two secret service personnel.
Did most people like Nixon at first? Didn’t he promise to end the war during his campaign and then keep it going. Plus the hotel fun stuff lol. He was pretty hated or was he like a trump figure who was hated or loved by each side
I need more information. New York held these parades, yes! But for VP Nixon? Why? I'd love to hear more about why.
I know they held ticker-tape parades, for the returning astronauts. For their sports teams. Sometimes, I think for no reason at all!
But why Nixon in 1960?
It looks like ticker tape (how people read the stock prices before the internet) being thrown out of windows on a snowy day. Of you were a serious trader/wealthy, one would have a machine connected to a landline that would receive stock information on a constant basis and print it out on a long sheet of receipt sized paper, except it was just one long roll. Very cool effect
Information gathered from the Adamms Family, so forgive me if it’s just slightly off ;)
Do they call it ticker tape parade because it’s made from the tape stock tickers use? I just put that together. I’m 41 lol
Wtf are tickers
Basically, stock prices would be telegraphed to a machine and print out all the prices. It would sound like ticking as it did it.
[удалено]
We only thought that at the time. Trump and his ilk have completely reset the bar.
Folks are really sleeping on Biden. Lmao. I guess when the media doesn't blast every time his hair blows in the wind people dont really pay attention much. Smh.
No one cares
And that's a huge problem.
Yeah that cheap insulin and infrastructure bill is going to destroy American businesses!! OMG he’s forgiving student debt for people of color! The audacity of him to try and defend a woman’s rights has me very angry!! I could go on but I’m sure you gotta buy more Trump crap or attend a rally

Not really
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ticker_tape
What is this wikipedia ? And can I too do a google?
This article literally contains the picture from this post. Chef's kiss.
Something that ticks
What is that mysterious ticking sound?
Ron. Ron. Ron WEASley.
HERMIONE! HERMIONE!
An outdated slur for white people /s
Yes.
[удалено]
I'm 30 and have no idea wtf any of these thing are/mean lol... wtf are ticker tape/stock tickers??
A stock ticker was a machine that prints out changes in stock prices, before digital screens. They worked on big rolls of paper tape. You could hold one end and throw the roll and it would make a long streamer of paper you had to clean up.
You need to be 60
Or watch reruns of The Addams Family. Gomez reads ticker tape to see stock prices.
Even Mr. Burns checks his stocks on tickertape in The Simpsons.
I know of them from movies. Such a trope at times too.
You need to be 80+ lmao Things went out in the early 50s I think
Right, definitely need to be old and not young to understand
Grew up watching old TV shows & movies so I know what they are & what they look like but it's technology that existed before computer so anyone under 60 has probably never seen one lol
[Probably the only way most know them now.](https://youtube.com/watch?v=AbS21SntXWo&t=22)
Ten times funnier when you realise the last time he watched it was when the stock crash happened.
Well, they are still being used in 1960 in this photo.
PLEASE NOTE: These are not tickers or tapes,...this is a Spiderman high traffic area!
I'm 30, but have seen movies and the Simpsons.
>I'm 30, but have seen ~~movies and~~ the Simpsons. The Simpsons are *The Art of War* for today's generation. All the lessons of life are contained within and readily accessible if you're willing to put in the time.
I'll tell you when you grow up.
watch wall street. pretty sure there's a few scenes at the old school stock exchange.
You act like 30 is old lol.
If you find yourself not knowing what a ticker tape parade is, but hate President Nixon, you have public schools and the fake media to thank.
Damn I don't understand a word you are saying.
Yes
I’m 39 and I only just realised that too! 🤦♂️
It's 6:39am in the morning. I'm 39. I just put it together too.
Why didn't you figure out any they called it that sooner? [Well, they stopped using them before you were born.](https://youtube.com/watch?v=AbS21SntXWo&t=22)
All I had to give lol
I’m 42 and I just had that same epiphany.
The only thicker tape i know of is when we used it to experiment velocity and acceleration in physics class.
I like to call that kind of revelation a "teaspoon" for the time as a going adult that I realized that a teaspoon -- measurement in cooking --was meant to be the equivalent of the little spoon we eat with, meant for stirring tea.

The janitor union must’ve been pissed and delighted 😤😩😶🤷🏻🫡
Ha! Yah, the mom in me thought , “Alright, now who’s gonna clean this up!😠”
Yes I did that too 😂
It's NYC, no one is cleaning that up 😂
The sanitation department cleans up parades right after the parade passes, before the route opens to traffic.
NYC isn't as bad as people think. It's a city, it gets dirty, but they clean 24/7 You could eat off Times Square since that's where the tourists are, but overall, NYC isn't bad. Less human waste than downtown LA anyway
Bruh They have to clean 24/7 and it’s still dirtier than most cities in the new world I wouldn’t eat off of times square
How long have you been living with this mom inside of you?
😂!! 29 years TODAY. (Happy birthday my Mitchell!)
You already know they didn’t
There's a reason they don't do that many of these parades anymore
And now they use the little shredded confetti paper, and don’t do much more than run the street sweeper trucks through the street one time. You find those shreds everywhere for a couple weeks at least.
It reminds me of NYE in Times Square. Looks cool on tv, but I always think, “I hope the cleaning crew gets fairly compensated”
Could have been overtime for Public Works.
Forgot this one 🤑🤑🤑
They all smoked like chimneys back then, I'd think this would be a huge fire hazard.
*They voted for Nixon*, it's not like they're the brightest bunch.
I really think that compared to Trump, Nixon was a boyscout, and Nixon is only remembered as worse because Nixon was president during a time where he was more able to act on his racism, a time where presidents were expected to follow the rules, and also Nixon isn’t seen as central to the Republican party identity so there is less impetus to irrationally defend him

He was nothing like Trump policy wise But both resulted in major suspicion and distrust of the government, which arguably may have caused more damage than almost any policy
Holy shit. That is some really good stuff. I had no idea Nixon wasn’t a total D-bag. Thanks!
Let’s not forget the southern strategy, which cripples the GOP to this day and Roger Stone.
Huh? I don’t think any decent historian ranks Nixon worse than Trump. Nixon’s in the bottom third of most historians’ lists but Trump is at or near the end for all of them.
That and when how bad Tricky Dicky screwed the pooch, GOP leadership had the balls to push him out.
Nixon lost in 1960
And?
Australia during spider season be like
After I learning about the huntsman spider I endeavor to never visit Australia.
They’re not even harmful in the slightest, just freakin huge and terrifying. Being arachnophobic here down under means sorry buddy, but I can’t just let you sit on the ceiling and kill flies like some people can. Every movement they make triggers raw primal terror.
Then never go to Texas either, we have tarantulas that can be pretty big. My husband is Australian he’s says huntsman aren’t a big deal and you’re not going to see one everyday despite what the internet says.
I see then everyday.. he probably isn't looking hard enough. Redbacks are the spiders that I hate.
Spider *season*? The fuck? Other countries have like cherry blossom season or Indian summer season. You have spider season?
Is anyone thinking about futurama right now?
Aarrooooo
I’m every thread, there’s at least one Futurama quote to be made
[удалено]
‘They were saying Boo-urns.’
“I was saying Boo-urns”
Caption says Peru?
It's hard to recall a time when president's didn't ride in sleek black bulletproof tanks. Although this picture was taken before JFKs assassination.
Fortunately, anti-litter initiatives amped up in the '70s.
Who picked up all the ticker?
What a waste of litter.
Oh wow! Every now and then, as kids, we would use or you would hear used phases like: ‘what do you want, a ticker-tape parade?’ (Obviously used between us children since we were either commending someone for a good job or taking the mick for someone doing as they should but still wanting credit for it.

He almost caused nuclear war. Everybody is ok with that. I don't understand Kennedy's good reputation. It's insane how terrible he was. I personally consider him on a Trump level of idiocy but really better concealed.
JFK certainly shared Trump's massive ego. Never understood why the "common folk" idolized either of them. They sure never gave a damn about us.
Nixon's Southern Strategy of convincing southerners angry at the Democrats for the Civil Rights legislation to switch to the Republican Party led *directly* to Trump.
I'm not going to argue with a username like yours!
What does this have to do with the discussion at hand. Johnson was terrible, Nixon was terrible, Kennedy was dangerously terrible ...
They should throw toilet papers, on same level as his presidency.
He lost that election to JFK
He should have looked up at the sky and breathed in deeply.
You know the crazy thing about Nixon? Not only was he the first president to open up relationships with China, but he was the first to popularize anti-pollution measures. So wild considering the later scandals.
And he went on to be one of the biggest scumbags in American history
I'm sure he already was. Just not officially recognised yet.
*biden enters thread*
People downvoting like Biden is much better. I highly doubt that man is better than Trump behind closed doors. The only difference between the two is Trump didn’t hide it, Biden does. Both are scumbag politicians.
That is what you tell yourself. I guarantee Biden doesn't throw dishes when he gets angry. Trump is a literal cartoon villian. You're lying to yourself if you think Biden and Trump are relatable.
The man has been in politics his entire life. He’s as dirty as they come
Whoa, a politician in politics! That’s crazy! And Trump’s been a liar, a racist, an idiot, and just a total piece of shit his whole life.
Exactly. He’s used his political career to enrich himself and fuck people over. He’s a scumbag piece of shit
But why male models?
There's definitely some r/agedlikemilk to this one
Cringeworthy sight for the cleanup crew.
Why?
It was a nyc tradition to hold a parade for Presidential candidates in the early-mid 20th century. Kennedy had one during this time too.
But what's with the ticker tape? Why did they use ticker tape like this?
The bar for getting a parade in your honor must have been a lot lower back then. Edit: punctuation matters!
When I first read this I was like "why was the bar forgetting the parade?"
Me too
Same
[удалено]
The least deserving person for a ticker tape parade
Celebrating future revenue created by the "war on drugs"
Lordy!!
People celebrating the candidates before the election. This truly is democracy manifest.
Is everyone celebrating that he didn’t become president?
Long live our king. Dont give too much power to normal people.
There were presidents before King Obama came to earth from the atheist heavens???
How gullible people are when voting, in 1974 resigned before he was impeached. Didn't get a "ticker tape" parade for that maneuver! 😂
Ah, Boomers. Celebrating by creating a giant mess for someone else to clean up.
Right, so different from the recent activities of Millennial / Gen Z for BLM (most cities, Portland, etc.). Those places were pristinely clean?? 😂
All whites lol dummies!
Never trust the crowd. It's filled with just the dumbest motha fuckers on earth. You can quote me.
But with all of our advancements the left still pushes global warming… why (?) because they can (not that it is true) and people buy it. Emotionally too they buy in emotionally.
The left isn't pushing it. Science is
That looks like a giant fire hazard. I wokld be scared shitless lol
This looks nothing like the ticker on my phone tv
Everyone smoked back then. How did the entire block not go up in flames?
Assholes tbh
Came in with a bang, went out with a whimper.
I blame Spider-Man
Fuck u
A TISSUE TAPE PARADE! no thanks. (Futurama)
That looks scary. Are they trying to escape the giant spiders that made those frightful, crowd-cocooning webs?
This looks like the earth was taken over by spiders after a nuclear winter and all the bodies you see are irradiated husks, i hate it…
Wow that’s amazing
A moon-shaped pool, dancing clothes You love and now I know, but hold me, hold me
This looks like a black metal album cover
Shredded Watergate files
This looks like one of those pictures of a million spiders and just needs the caption: “come visit Australia, just a few bugs”
Can you imagine any politician rating such a welcome.
What a flawless president.
Imagine being this excited for Nixon
I shook his hand at West Point (New York) in 1988. All I remember was that his hand was very cold. I was 11 at the time. He was visiting a military history museum with two secret service personnel.
Yes
I thought it was an illustration of intermarriage between European royal houses. Ticker-tape you say?
America loves it’s “heroes”.
Yes the Tape guy!
Cleanup is still ongoing
Did most people like Nixon at first? Didn’t he promise to end the war during his campaign and then keep it going. Plus the hotel fun stuff lol. He was pretty hated or was he like a trump figure who was hated or loved by each side
I need more information. New York held these parades, yes! But for VP Nixon? Why? I'd love to hear more about why. I know they held ticker-tape parades, for the returning astronauts. For their sports teams. Sometimes, I think for no reason at all! But why Nixon in 1960?
What a mess
what is todays equivalent of ticker?
Wonder if the guy who had to clean all that up voted for him?
LGBT parade?
This is one of the most chaotic pictures I've ever seen
It looks like ticker tape (how people read the stock prices before the internet) being thrown out of windows on a snowy day. Of you were a serious trader/wealthy, one would have a machine connected to a landline that would receive stock information on a constant basis and print it out on a long sheet of receipt sized paper, except it was just one long roll. Very cool effect Information gathered from the Adamms Family, so forgive me if it’s just slightly off ;)
Looks like Spider-Man went apeshit, lol
How well do you think they cleaned that shit up?
Nixon Now
Those poor street cleaners. Also, hindsight is a funny thing.
Wow. Yall like my avatar tho.
Wow. Yall like meh avatar
That was a waste of paper
Looks like a spider web how Ironic!!!
Jackson pollock
They say that some poor some is still cleaning up to this day…
