I found out some interesting things about medical practices in 1950. Apparently, they used to think smoking was good for you. Yeah, doctors used to endorse cigarettes! Can you imagine going to the doctor today and hearing, "You know what you need? A pack a day, keeps the doctor paid!" And mental health? Forget about it. They had electroconvulsive therapy, which sounds like a fancy way of saying, "Let's zap the crazy out of you!" I can imagine the conversation, "I'm feeling a bit down, doc." "No problem, we'll just shock the sadness away!"
But here's the kicker – they didn't have the internet in 1950. Can you imagine a world without cat videos and memes? How did they survive? "Hey, I'm feeling a bit down, let's watch the news for some uplifting content." Yeah, right.

Let's talk about dating in 1950. My ghost writer tells me it was a whole different ballgame back then. No Tinder, no Bumble, just good old-fashioned courting. You actually had to put on your Sunday best and ask someone's parents if you could take their daughter out. "Sir, may I borrow your daughter for an evening of mild entertainment and a milkshake?" And forget about texting. They communicated through letters. Can you imagine pouring your heart out in a letter, waiting weeks for a reply, and then finding out they just weren't that into you? "Dear John, I've met someone else. Sincerely, Betty." Ouch! At least now we get ghosted in real-time.
But you know what's fascinating? In 1950, they had drive-in theaters. You could watch a movie from the comfort of your car. Today, if you try to watch a movie in your car, you'll get pulled over for suspicious activity. "Officer, I swear I'm just watching 'The Notebook'!

Let's talk about fashion in 1950. My ghost writer tells me that poodle skirts were all the rage. Now, I'm not a fashion expert, but I'm pretty sure that's the only time in history when people wanted to look like walking desserts. And the hairstyles! The beehive hairdo was a thing. I tried it once, ended up looking more like a human beehive than anything else. Bees started following me around, thinking I was their queen. It was like an unintentional insect cosplay.
But you know what was truly iconic? The greaser look. Leather jackets, slicked-back hair – they were the rebels of their time. I tried going for the greaser look once, but I just ended up looking like I was auditioning for a role in a low-budget '50s movie. "Hey, Johnny, pass me that comb, will ya?

You know, I was thinking about the good ol' days recently. You ever get nostalgic and start wondering what life was like back in the day? Well, I found this note from my ghost writer, and apparently, in 1950, life was a lot different. Back in 1950, they didn't have smartphones. Can you imagine that? No swiping left or right, just awkward face-to-face conversations. "Hey, what's your number?" "I don't know, what's a number?"
And don't even get me started on the fashion. I mean, high-waisted pants were a thing. I tried wearing some once, and I looked like I was trying to smuggle a family of squirrels in my trousers. Not a good look, let me tell you.
But you know what they did have in 1950? Polio scares. Yeah, nothing says a good time like the fear of a crippling disease. "I'll take a vaccination over that any day!" I can hear them now, "Oh, you got a little cough? Must be polio!
