ILLEGAL NOW, But Normal in 1970s. #1970s
Step into the wild, unregulated world of the 1970s—a time when freedom and risk went hand in hand. In this video, we explore how everyday activities that were completely normal back then have now become illegal or taboo. Picture a world where kids casually bought cigarettes for their parents, dangerous toys were all the rage, and riding in cars without seatbelts was simply how life was.
Remember the thrill of playing with lawn darts, a pastime that today would be seen as a major safety hazard? Or the everyday use of leaded gasoline that powered our cars despite its harmful effects? These practices, once accepted as part of daily life, have been banned in the name of public safety and health.
What changed? Over the decades, advances in science and increased awareness of health and safety have transformed our world. Regulations and modern technologies have reshaped our lives, putting an end to many of the wild and risky habits of the past.
Join us for a nostalgic yet eye-opening journey as we compare the daring freedoms of the 1970s with the stringent laws of today. Get ready to laugh, cringe, and marvel at how times have changed!
