Most of you old fucks got dropped here from the 50's. Maybe yall can explain that hair grease thing.

It would have to be pointed out to them pretty quickly that its no longer exceptible
To patronize,condesend or offend a minority or person
Of the opposite sex in any way shape or form.(even if they deserve it).
Or
To pat a female on the ass and call her 'Doll'.
And yeah the interweb would be a potential sanity breaker for them.

I saw my problems and I'll see the light
We got a lovin' thing, we gotta feed it right
There ain't no danger we can go too far
We start believin' now that we can be who we are, grease is the word
They think our love is just a growin' pain
Why don't they understand? it's just a cryin' shame
Their lips are lyin', only real is real
We stop the fight right now, we got to be what we feel, grease is the word
It's got a groove, it's got a meaning
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling

It shapes hair, what else do you want of it?!

 

[Jamiegeo]

Pretty slick, Slick.

That would be some Future Shock indeed!

I can imagine some math nerd transplanted from the 1950s seeing facilitating the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem as the crowning glory of computer technology.

hair grease also helped to replace the natural oils that shampooing removes from the hair. conditioner does the same thing. also, just not going too crazy washing your hair. that's good too.

basically, your hair is supposed to be greasy. that's how hair works.

oh, and side note, putting grease or oil in your hair is a great way to keep your hair lice free because lice fucking hate that shit, but they fucking love clean, dry hair.

Can't imagine a 1950's transplant being all that surprised. They were all told about colonies on the moon, flying cars, jet packs, etc. Sci fi was huge then and everyone was conditioned to it simply being a part of life in this century.

Now the 1850's, they'd probably go insane.
