The Fake History Hunter @fakehistoryhunter.net · 04/10/2026Let's bring back hat spoons. Or if you go outside without a hat (shocking if true) button hole spoons or lapel spoons. Nice handmade spoons, antique spoons, perhaps even a spork, if you're wild. Won't need to use plastic spoons ever again, eat soup without warning and poke bad people with it. 1512012
The Fake History Hunter @fakehistoryhunter.net · 03/10/2026For some weird reason spotting spoons stuck in people's hats has made me happy ever since I was a little girl. Just seemed like a smart way to carry a spoon in case of emergency eating. Was it only a thing in the low countries? Anyway, some examples: 2326238

The Fake History Hunter @fakehistoryhunter.net · 03/10/2026Just realised that the story in 'Quest for fire' is in a way the wrong way around as the evidence (so far) suggests that Neanderthals(ish) knew how to make fire before Homo Sapiens did, so if anyone taught anyone... ;) Love that film as a kid btw, need to rewatch & review. 11911

The Fake History Hunter @fakehistoryhunter.net · 03/10/2026Is it just me or would it be silly to have servant's bells in the living room or bedroom?

The Fake History Hunter @fakehistoryhunter.net · 02/10/2026In some places it may also have been an age thing, sometimes spinsters/widows would still cover their hair not to stand out, because of culture, habit, it being practical in houses full of soot, or just to keep pesky men from bothering them ;) 040
