Welcome to /c/fakehistoryporn@lemmy.world , where fake history is made. Find a historically significant photo, come up with a fake history title, post it, laugh.

The name is a reference to the fact that the pictures should be worth marveling at. This is NOT a place for hardcore pornography. Tasteful nudity is fine as long as it fits within the context of the post (please mark it as NSFW).

Actual photo info: This is a happy one! A utility worker performs CPR on another who eventually makes a full recovery!

I figured that was CPR but I was going to guess that the poor bastard didn't make it. There aren't a lot of accidents around high voltage that end happily.

Good to hear he pulled through.
