Since anyone could (and still can) say anything on the internet, people began challenging unbelievable and outlandish online claims with the phrase "pics or it didn't happen," shutting down many ridiculous discussions before they even begin.
But real life can be hard to comprehend, too. Especially if we're talking about long gone days. So in an attempt to forestall all the doubts and cut right to the chase, the Instagram account 'Library Of The Bizarre' shares images from the past first, and provides captions for them later.
People behind the account describe it as a "curated collection of the curious history of yonder years." And they're right on the money with those words.
