And in December 1880 the American Society of Mechanical Engineers was founded, in NYC (apparently).

1885 - Emmet Brown goes back in time to build the first clock tower, so he can send back Marty McFly in 1955 and get sent back in time to build the first clock tower, so he can send back Marty McFly in 1955 and get sent back in time to build the first clock tower, to...

He didn't build the clock tower you silly boy. He just got his picture taken in front of it, harnessed the power of the lightning that struck it and watched as Griff flew through the window of it.

 

Incidently, it wasn't until 1886 that an economically viable process was developed to extract aluminium.

MrTrent Try not to think too much.

Not a million miles away in India, baseball sized hailstones killed 246 people in 1888.

You're just a fountain of time-travel knowledge, you.

 

Speaking of which, I bet the critics of Paris soon wished they had a time-machine in 1889, when they declared the newly inaugurated Eiffel Tower to be aesthetically displeasing. Lawks!

Indeed, they were so embarassed, they were inclined to walk the streets with their heads hidden inside cardboard boxes, as conveniently invented by Robert Gair, in 1890.

With the cardboard box, of course, came incredibly-hard-to-tear-cardboard-box-tape. This was no obstacle, however, as the Swiss Army quickly came to everyone's aid by producing their handy new Knife.

The newly discovered element of argon unfortunately proves to be useless for making knives out of.

 

However Edison has just patented the TWO WAY TELEGRAPH! Telephone conversations no longer neccesitate the participants having their speaking and listening devices transported between each others' locations repeatedly.

 

This is going to get a lot more interesting around post number 2006.

Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.

Might as well live to see the first bottle of Coca Cola produced, in 1894.

Indeed. In fact, maybe it was discoveries like Coca Cola that Alfred Nobel had in mind in 1895 when he wrote his last will and testament dedicating his estate to the establishment of the Prize which bears his name. Which was lucky because...

Unlike Mark Twain, who, the very next year, is quoted as saying "The report of my death was an exaggeration."

Just imagine, after a hard day's sculpting, you'd want to head off down to the pub, have a pint, and listen to the jukebox. Although it would help if you were in San Francisco in 1899, where the first jukebox was located.
