The World Before Netflix
The world before Netflix In 1845, 79 people died in a bridge collapse over the River Bure because a large crowd had gathered to watch a clown in a bathtub be pulled upriver by four geese.
A historical-style illustration shows a clown sitting in a bathtub on a small raft, being pulled upriver by four geese while a crowd watches from a bridge and riverbank. The joke presents an absurdly specific and dangerous spectacle as the kind of entertainment people supposedly enjoyed before Netflix, parodying modern streaming habits and historical trivia posts.
