In fairness, a lot of the time bath houses doubled as brothels so that's the issue the church took with them.

We came a long way as society. To be living in this day and age is a blessing. Even with all the stuff happening in the world right now

I always think how awesome it would be to go back in time and live like the ancients did, but then I learn of horrors like the communal butt sponge and...

Can this be played on a constant loop at gaming conventions? Some of those guys think changing a shirt is enough to keep them from smelling. It's important that they wash before touching controllers so others don't get sick.

Imagine being in a Roman public toilet wiping yourself with a sponge on a stick and your neighbor says hey can I have that when you're done?

One thing about scurvy was that originally it was believed acidity in general was the cure to scurvy rather than the specific ascorbic acid vitamin C that is why oil of vitriol was tried it was way more shelf stable and it is extremely acidic it is sulfuric acid after all later they got closer but they thought citric acid was the key fortunately they come together in fruit but eventually found limes didn't work as well as lemons and oranges despite being more acidic

Nothing like full eye contact with a stranger while grunting out a huge crap. And it’s important you grab their hand and intensely say “Doody”

It would be cool to see different hygiene practice across the world like the steppes, North Africa, Middle East, East Asia, and so on.

I love that going into sewers to find treasure was once a job, since Charlie and Frank just do it for fun 😂

19:53 wort isn't a by-product of brewing, it's much closer to the main ingredient. If you add yeast to wort and allow it to ferment then you get beer.

Here's a pro tip from a old grunt. Avon skin do soft is the best bug repellant on planet earth. It works as well in jungles of Panama as it does in the great north woods.

Their lack of hygiene can't compare to a local convenience store 's toilet.

Being someone who loves history, and posseses a juvenile sense of humor; I declare this THE perfect video.
