"Let the stupidity work itself out of the gene pool." I never considered it was self-cleaning...I love this idea. Great set, as usual, OUC.

I was working for Kodak in Rochester, NY when all this went down. I worked with process systems that made parts for the cameras and chemicals for the film. The coolest feature was the pictures were self developing before your eyes. You could watch the image come to clarity over a few minutes. Once in a while I see one of these cameras show up in an antique shop or second hand store. I would say unopened film packs are extremely rare by now.

White dodge balls! How racist can you get!

If that is what white privilege is, then I’m happy to be white.
Another great bunch … thanks!

Mine never did - had the basic, then mail in the film and wait a couple of weeks to see how well the picks turned out../....

Naw - Thoughts works well. Memories would have worked well also, however.....

Another Moment in History!
Thanks Craig

Yes, Kodak made an instant camera like Polaroid for a couple of years and were sued by Polaroid for it. Kodak had to cease production and pay Polaroid $800 million. When Polaroid started, Kodak made the film with the understanding Kodak would always make the film. When Polaroid fired up its own film plant, then Kodak responded with an instant camera of its own. Neither company won in the end.

Holy smokes, OUC! A walk through great memories AND memes of truth! Watch out for the slivers on the teeter-tauter and the burning hot sheet metal slide, Ha ha. Yep, the dodge ball days were great. Brainwashing complete, but can be avoided by home schooling or going into the trades instead of college. No matter what the kids do today they will never be as cool as grandma! Thanks for the great Friday set, OUC!

Hey OGC loved the random thoughts -
You know the brainwashing is working...
The Spanish translation was enlightening...
And EVERYONE should have a chance at dodgeball...
And many weeks go by between me still taking pictures...
And the lobster in the tank.

Thanks for the great collection!!

Me dino can't remember if my Kodak printed photos. If it did I forgot.
That was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

All I had was a tiny Brownie. I didn't know that Kodak made an instant camera like a Polaroid.

I had the Kodak that printed the photos. You had to wait some amount of time then peal a backing off to reveal your photo.

PS. I just thought, maybe I should have Named this bunch: Random 'Memories', instead of "Thoughts".

How to be a right-wing extremist in 2025 reminds me of hearing Charlie Kirk recommend that young in their twenties should all get married and start families. Hating jackasses with KDS lividly disagree.
I can also recall having a fully functioning kid's Kodak when I guess I was in the Sixth Grade. Took black and white photos of government buildings during a school bus trip to Montgomery, Alabama's capital.
Me dino loved to play dodgeball during the Fifties. Schools in Alabama provided white dodgeballs back then.

well said to life...
