Tumblr post by badsciencejokes:

Nintendo was founded in 1889, making playing cards.

Coca-Cola was founded in 1892.

Levi’s blue jeans were invented in 1853.

Dracula was published in 1897, set in that time.

We could have had Dracula wearing jeans, drinking a Coke and playing Nintendo and it would be accurate.

This reminds me of something i saw several years ago.

Around this same time, wild west gun slingers, japanese samurai, and pirates all existed. So you could have also had a group of adventurers consisting of these three to fight Dracula. Wild just to consider.

Inspired by the recent post by @LadyButterfly@reddthat.com about how Dracula in fact does feature a wild west gun slinger who kills Dracula by stabbing him with a bowie knife.

      "They also managed few brothels guest houses of questionable repute." But "brothels" is subscript.

      Gotta use double tildes on Lemmy to make that show up as struck-out.

      They also managed few ~~brothels~~ guest houses of questionable repute.

      becomes

      They also managed few brothels guest houses of questionable repute.

      While

      They also managed few ~brothels~ guest houses of questionable repute.
