Post things, possibly with an explanation, such as videos, images, GIFs, etc. that are people in the past talking/showcasing/inventing something about the future that didn't happen. Such as this bus that was made in 1939-40, but was short lived:  |

1962 Newspaper Headline Predicts the Future: Translated: "In the year 2000 telephones will do all by themselves - We'll read newspapers through telephone network and we could also use them for banking operations."  |

And now, a collection of art designed in the year 1900 to reflect the year 2000: Individual Flying Machines: They come in handy when we're starving to death and need to feed on that delicious Eagle egg.  Self-Playing Orchestras: It is optional for you to paint your legs yellow before using the crank for the machine to make all of the instruments play.  An Automatic Tailor: It's easy. First you stand here and it stabs you with needles, and then you go over there and it spits out a suit in the color of your blood.  |

The First Ever Mobile Home: I got on a bike once and the front tire blew up. But these special tires can apparently carry and travel an entire fucking house.  Battle-Cars: Exactly what the image says. Except it looks more like the Shreddermobile from TMNT  A Whale Bus: Oh the future... where we enslave whales for transportation.  |

Underwater Croquet: If you're unsure how to visit such a majestic place, contact your nearby whale-porter for tickets and directions.  Chicken Maker: Insert an Egg, Speed up the entire process of creation, and voila. More food. This would have been more handy to use than that flying apparatus above where you have to battle fucking sky creatures to eat breakfast...  School: Or, as I call it, phase one of the Matrix. Also... you figured out how to auto-teach but you still have to turn a fucking crank handle? God dammit future, figure out your priorities!  |

Automatic Self-Pampering Station: I'm so glad the year 1900 was keeping it real. Everyone knows that in the year 2000 you can get your eyeliner done by a robot, but you'll still go to hell if you show those glorious cankles! This machine is not slut-friendly.  Model Kitchen: Where you make food by... fuck. The Crank handle?! Again?! Get the fuck out of here! I'm not baking shit in the year 2000. And is that an eight year old? Child labour will still be a thing? Jesus...  Automatic Cleaner: Hey, check it out, a Roomba. And a maid. And she's holding something. Some sort of golden rod. And the rod has a cable connected to the machine. And her arm placement suggests she's operating the machine, possibily by moving her arms... so really... in the future... you made a machine that makes you not have to swing a broom or mop by creating a golden rod that makes you swing your arms to MOVE the thing that makes you not have to swing your arms, what the fuck? Why not just make something with a crank handle?!  Automatic Barber: I saw this in the 1993 live-action version of Casper. It killed someone.  |

Other Individual Flying Things: Those guns would have come in handy against the Eagle's nest. But I will not rest until someone explains to me what the fuck those little wings are going to do for my ankles. Maybe if the device fails and I fall into the ocean those wings will help me swim out of the lanes for the whale-porters.  More Flying Things: I like that in the future we can put out sky fires and save babies, but we'll also have a banana train.  |

Train-Boat: Why bother let oceans and land get in the way? Not explained: How to navigate where the hell the track is to line up for land travel... among other things...  Flying Machines: You can smoke a cigar in the sky AND live in a fucking castle. Life is perfect.  Train House: These folks have a weird fascination with train-influenced things... you can move your house using a train, but you still have to push your nuggets of stone and gold with a wheel barrel.  |
