Back in the 1870's things were strange. Honestly, I''m surprised that we managed to make it past the year 2ad. Black people weren't equal, peanut technology wasn't being taken advantage of, and we kept food cool by just surrounding it with ice because since we were only living until 40 anyway, why not eat some lukewarm meat? Enter Thomas Elkins of Albany, New York. This is the best picture I could find because history.

This new version of cooling was made
using coils made of metal that worked way better than just sitting
your stuff on a block of ice and going “I guess that's taken care
of.” No. Your food is still going bad, stupid. People eventually
found out that this was good at keeping bodies cold too so that
became a thing. Hopefully on purpose. Please be on purpose.
