I recall visiting Paris when I was 13 with our live in nanny, who was French and from Paris. She was wonderful and I just loved it. She took me to the Eifal Tower and I recall clearly the public toilet was a hole in the ground, one was to stand up on a platform with a hole in the middle. I was truly grossed out by it. It seemed extremely unhygienic and so primitive to me.
Japanese culture was vastly different. Very clean going back to ancient times (religious beliefs, other) Lived there long ago I followed their practice of "no shoes" indoors. - And modern toilets clean you with a "splursh" of water!!!
Hey im 71 and still remember receiving a drop ether anesthetic as a child. Very specific smell, taste, and horrific visual hallucinations while recovering.
I’m 77. Tonsils out in 1956. Remember that ether well, and the dreams. Remember the nurse telling me to think of Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly as the dripping started.
I was hoping to travel to the late 17th century with the machine I inveneted last year. But now.... I'm reconsidering going back in the 1920s or 1940s intead. 😂😂😂
This was such a super funny documentary with all the comments from the narrator. Excellent job in the presentation, I loved it and was laughing my ass off a lot. Thank you.
You’re absolutely correct! Most people bathed only a few times a month, some only twice a year. And because most weddings took place in the spring/summer, those armpits were pretty ripe. The flowers were used to mask the smell and the tradition stuck.

Many countries still live under many of these conditions. Turkey has holes in the floor you stand over to go potty to this day. No privacy. Public bathing too. My sister just got back from there. She was fascinated with their culture.

By the way, soap is very easy to make... if you know how. You only need two ingredients. ash lye and fat (any fat, this can be vegetable oil or animal fat) First you pour water over the ash (preferably wood ash) and then filter the liquid (that's the ash lye) and then you stir in the fat.... a chemical reaction occurs... it gets warm, so be careful. ..you can pour it into a mold, it will then solidify. So, it's not magic, it's really very simple. In the Middle Ages, people even saved the fat and only used ash lye, because we also have fat on our skin and if you wash it off quickly with water, it won't damage the skin. By the way, I believe that the Romans also knew this step, using only the lye without fat, and that would mean that they did not use urine to wash their clothes, because urine not only has the property of destroying the fibers, but also has a bleaching effect.. .. ash lye is much gentler and easy and cheap and can be produced in large quantities .... and ash is always produced when cooking. Back then, people weren't so stupid as to destroy clothes that had been painstakingly made; things like that had to last a long time. Urine was the bleaching agent that tanners used and dyers needed urine to dye blue, for example.
People need to stop being so selfish, when it comes to the narrator. Weird history has touched on this a couple times, in social media. They have two channels and a podcast, so they have to use multiple narrators to prevent burning out the narrator. Yes this narrators voice and inflections are better then the others. That said at least one of the other narrators is getting better, he is finding his own pacing... The other narrators will improve over time as they find what works for them.
Agreed, people are vicious for no reason. Their time would be better spent finding something to compliment of the other narrators. Everyone has their own thing. They are great ❤.
You thought spaceships are fancy? Lol! They are claustrophobic tanks, you can't drink or anything and you work 24 hours around the clock, or strength training on your break so you don't collapse from gravity when back to earth.

Native Americans have ALWAYS gone to water, bathing and communicating with the Great Spirit each and every day, come rain or shine, in summer or winter. They were considered dirty and savage because of this practice by the Europeans, who brought along smallpox and a multitude of other diseases to the indigenous population. 😢
I always heard that Caesar was terrified of body lice, and that’s why he refused to have body hair. He also only took one privilege when he was on the battlefield with his soldiers, his tent had wood planks on the floor, literally bc he was afraid of bugs.

Now we are dying mainly because of chemicals in ALL of our cleaning products and foods that we eat. The air and soil isn't particularly healthy either.😢
Nice to have Republicans who are trying to reverse all regulations that stop putting chemicals into the air and water, because controlling pollution reduces corporate profits. They openly talk about closing the EPA.
We ridicule the Victorians, and earlier generations, for the weird additives , products and treatments they resorted to but modern manufacturing and methods have an awful lot to answer for.
As an introvert all I can see is a lack of privacy here, they bathe together play the news the toilet together nothing is done alone... I could never do it😂 but very interesting story
In the 1980's in Saudi Arabia I witnessed the Royals doing such things. After wearing a garment for a few days the servents took the soiled clothing, sprayed it with perfume, and put it back in the wardrobe.
Donating blood regularly is a modern excellent treatment for several health problems, and it's not called bloodletting only bcz the blood can be safely collected and reused in other people that need it.

Corncobs are not scratchy. They're actually quite soft. I'm 80 and I remember the outhouse on my grandparents farm when I was a kid. They had indoor plumbing, but there was still a bucket corncobs in the outhouse just in case.
That’s so cool. My mom’s childhood home had an outhouse, they used pages from the catalogues to wipe their bums. When I spent summers there in the 70’s as a little kid they had indoor plumbing but no running hot water, and the stove was heated by wood.
While we undoubtedly are lucky to have higher standards of hygiene today than in the past, it's not like those victorian people didn't think themselves lucky to have cesspits instead of having to dodge emptying chamberpots. I'm sure in 200 years there will be something similar about how early 21st century was a horrible time to live in with high air pollution and nasty splashing toilets without inertial dampening or whatever the standards are then.

My dad used ammonia to put a shine on his windows for as long as I knew him. I couldn't even stand being in the same room as the bucket, let alone apply it to the glass, so how he coped I have no idea.
One of my relatives' families used to live in an old two bedroom house with no indoor plumbing other than a hand operated water pump mounted on the kitchen counter going into the single sink. Used a wood burning cook stove. Heated water on it for washing dishes, taking baths in a wash tub large enough for an adult. They had two boys, one girl. Fill the tub, the girl would take the first bath, then the boys adding hot water when needed. Parents got clean water with the wife first, then husband. They all took baths every other day. Used an outdoor toilet (outhouse). Until the children got older, they slep in the same bed. Husband and wife had their own bedroom. About the time the children got too old to sleep in the same bed, they had several acres of full-grown yellow pines that a power company bought several hundred trees for power poles, and God blessed them with a modern three bedroom home with the money from the sale of the trees. They deserved it. They never complained about the old house, made do with what they had at the time. I know this was sorta long-winded, but this is a true story. God bless all. Amen 🙏 ❤.

That sounds like HSV 1 not “pimples”
Weird history, weirdly interesting!

One of my relatives' families used to live in an old two bedroom house with no indoor plumbing other than a hand operated water pump mounted on the kitchen counter going into the single sink. Used a wood burning cook stove. Heated water on it for washing dishes, taking baths in a wash tub large enough for an adult. They had two boys, one girl. Fill the tub, the girl would take the first bath, then the boys adding hot water when needed. Parents got clean water with the wife first, then husband. They all took baths every other day. Used an outdoor toilet (outhouse). Until the children got older, they slep in the same bed. Husband and wife had their own bedroom.
About the time the children got too old to sleep in the same bed, they had several acres of full-grown yellow pines that a power company bought several hundred trees for power poles, and God blessed them with a modern three bedroom home with the money from the sale of the trees. They deserved it. They never complained about the old house, made do with what they had at the time.
I know this was sorta long-winded, but this is a true story.
God bless all. Amen 🙏 ❤.
Happy fourth American brothers/sisters
