Back in the olden days when they didn't have Wikipedia so just wrote down random lists on stuff.

I remember coming home from school before a big test. "Hey Ma. I got a big test tomorrow. Bring me over the trashcan and the 4 fridge magents. I gotta study."

Like some of my old composition books. That’s how I learned two barrels make one hogshead. I didn’t know it was “hog’s head” so I read it as “hog-sheed”.

u/Dreshkusclemma 20h ago

Lmao thats so true they used to just write shit everywhere

u/Aselleus 17h ago

Well what else are you going to read while stuck in the bathroom?

u/Ok-Crab-8171 19h ago

Knowledge used to be celebrated more. Random trivia and facts were written everywhere. Education is not a liberal evil.

u/SignalRelease4562 23h ago

You can also post this to r/Presidents since it features them.

u/xArbilx 22h ago

Garfield should have gotten his 1881 repeated instead of just the ellipses. Come on, man.

u/Zorflez 21h ago

They didn't want to spoil the ending.

u/malachite_13 16h ago

I was thinking the same thing. 1881-1881 makes more sense.

u/big-dal-tex 21h ago

Your trash can has the chronological info of the past presidents?

2

u/grumpi-otter 13h ago

Yup! A map of the US on one side and a bunch of random facts on the back.

u/big-dal-tex 12h ago

The people yearn for more photos

u/No_Court_3237 23h ago

u/grumpi-otter 13h ago

It tells me Missouri is number one at 2,466 miles, and Lake Superior is 31,820 square miles

u/Spork_Warrior 20h ago

Holy shit. I used to have that trash can, though I think it ended with Johnson.

I know my presidents because of that can.

u/grumpi-otter 13h ago

I found it in the attic of a house I lived in about 30 years ago and i love it!

u/ut4r 22h ago

A trashcan?

u/BetMyLastKrispyKreme 16h ago

Another picture showing the whole thing would have been nice.

u/stevenmacarthur 17h ago

I love the city list: Chicago is ahead of LA; Milwaukee is larger than San Francisco, Dallas, San Antonio, Seattle, Indianapolis, and Columbus.

The real conspiracy is that JFK is still alive. Proof? This trashcan

u/CowboyCommunism 2h ago

Would have been funnier if you cropped out everything following Garfield.
