    As it turns out people look the same throughout history as our genetic makeup is rather stable.

    it’s time for shoe facts

    the shoe brands adidas and puma were both formed from the dassler brothers shoe factory
    the brothers were engaged in a bitter feud worsened by the stress of the war, until '48 when rudi dassler finally built his own puma factory right across the river from the adidas one
    the feud, carried by their children, continued for decades, arguably until 2007 when puma was bought out by a french fashion giant

    this has been shoe facts

      I’ve got a mate who works for Adidas. Wearing their own products to the office is encouraged (imagine a Bulgarian prison), but wearing Puma is an instant firing offence.

        Does Germany have workplace laws around unfair termination? Seems like an easy case to abuse.

      There’s a meme about “iPhone Face”, referring to actors in period dramas who resemble modern beauty standards more than the beauty standards of the period their film is set in. Some less film-literate people also use it to talk about how costume design always seem pulled to a more modern interpretation of the style rather than historical accuracy, which makes the actors feel more like modern people than people from the period the film is set in.

    I’ve been reading books from that era and can also confirm people were very similar back then, too. It’s almost like history repeats itself.
