crazy to think that guy has been on that boat for over 100 years
He clearly switched boats.
Boat of Theseus
No boat would live that long…
Thank goodness they cleared out all that snow and ice so that we can finally see the pretty mountains.
We should put some factories there!
This might be silly but we could replace the ice with trash?
Already working on it, my dudes.
At least we got some space to build car centric suburbia, eh? /s
yeah but it’s much more colorful now. that’s good, isn’t it?
OP always thinks positive.
But at what point does it become toxic positivity?deleted by creator
people 107 years ago loved sepia filters.
Good luck, everyone. I genuinely hope you make it through as okay as you can.
Thank you. I’ll do my best regardless. Will you be joining us?
I’ll do my best, yes.
I myself asked “What time of year was the lower photograph taken?” Then I realized I was being dumb, because if either photo was taken in winter time, we would see at least some ice in the water, if not a very large ice sheet.
That, and it’d be dark. You’d need to pack one hell of a flash.
New real estate!
Notice the first guy is in a wooden boat and the second guy is in a boat most likely made out of some plastic-based fibers. 🤔
Oprah buying up development rights on the coastline there too?
air is probably cleaner now than it was then
Elaborate?
go read a historybook on the industrial revolution
That would make the air… less clean now?
Edit: looks like PM2.5 and PM10 levels were 10-100x more around a hundred years ago. Seems like air quality is in fact better now.
This is wild 🫨
Facebook comments: Well obviously it was taken in the SUMMER 😂🤣😆 Morons global warming is all fear mongering!
Yes Jim. It’s very normal that entire glaciers disappear, regularly in fact, every year. You are so smart, much smarter than all of the scientists who are panicking.
Ummm…. There’s people right here on lemmy saying the same dumb shit about summer. Don’t think for a second that lemmy doesn’t host some of the exact same idiots Facebook does.
The only issue that really matters to me is climate change. Or maybe plastic.
But this is the same as the picture of the statue of liberty that is used to “debunk” sea level rise by showing the level at the same height, despite being taken 100 years apart. Were they taken at the same tide? Same time of year? Is there any other factor at play here?
This is a “shoe is on the other foot” moment, and we should be as skeptical of that which supports our beliefs as we are of that which contradicts it. Maybe especially so because confirmation bias is a hell of a drug.
ah to have seen the raw undisturbed beauty earth once had…

I mean anyone is free to try their hand at reproducing it better, I’m sure the spot hasn’t changed that much since the modern one here was taken, and if it has, well it’ll just make the comparison that much more dramatic.
Yes, let’s focus on that.
The motorized boat is an accurate representation of how things are today.
