SorryforSmelling

oh yeah fair point xD maybe we are evolving backwards

yeah its a cool twist kinda. people thinking of ancient rome as the pinecal of culture and the medival holy roman empire as the dark ages of humanity. yet the poop throwing myth goes into the ancient time.

Gonna be honest all my focus went into 10th-15th century, so i have little knowledge about juvenal and such ^^

secret tip: Fez

This is heavily taken out of context. there is a picture source of people empting their night (toilett) bowl onto the streets onto the heads of fellow people. only problem, this source is from a saterical piece. most likely that was considered comedy back then. like porttraing a wrong world or unbelivably stupid people. we also got similar sources about people carrieing sunlight with baskets into a house without windows. yet noone acts as if that was reality (so far lol).

My tip for checking such rumours is to find actual pictures from the time. in books, or paintings, you overwhelmingly see citys with no dirt or trash on the roads. also citys streets where made of stone in contrast to modern belive.

On top of all of this we got fee letters all the way back to the 11th century, taxing people for failing to remove dung or other unpleasant stuff from their property. You could get a pretty hefty fine for beeing smelly.

Which makes sense, since medicine of the time singled out miazmas, aka. bad smells, to be the primary way of sicknes to infect humans. Medival humans were way more concerned about bad smells than we today. it was liked to the black death and all sorts of desieses.

(Thank you so much for asking, you can see i spend years of hyperfocus on this and am very passionate to fight against the "dark" middle ages picture for it simply beeing wrong) (also all i say mosty relates to the roman emoire, i know less about france)

because people keep telling me to shower xD but seriously. at no point in history did people voluntarily live in reek. since citys formed people manages human waste pretty efficently.

misconception. There are many crappy ai imges of them falling through the cathedral floor. there are sources against that and also its very illogical. church ground is holy after all. the fall was most likely outside of a building, somewhat nearby the cathedral. also based on what we know it normally didnt smell. i mean imagin living somewhere and smelling poop every day. you will find a solution to block the smell rather quickly ^^

pokemon lets go. i skipped it on release because i assumed the dumbed down mechanics are not for me as an aduld fan. but once i picked it up i like it a lot. the graphics are breathtakeing for a gamefreak ip. and the way more accessible and time saveing shiny hunting, made me commit to a shiny only run.

I gotta admit i boxed eevee eventhough i love it, because that would just be too op.

but a strong recomendation for the pokemon fan that yawns for a chill experience

i once heard somewhere that rimworld was just supposed to be an example piece of how gamedesign works rather than an actual game. and it had such good game design it grew a huge comunity :D

No source, dont remember where i got that

its kinda crazy isnt it? i would never tell irl i played it lol. but as a person who was in the rpg maker scene of the 2000/2010 years, it feels like the pinacle of this era and comunity. its not the best game but feels like the most iconic by haveing every standard and every stereotype of rpg maker games turned to 12. Perhabs there is potential to write a paper about how and why it was developed.

i failed out of uni so take my advice with a huge grain of salt. but its ok to fail or rescedule. as long as you persist ofc. I failed some class and the shame made me fail more. reality is pretty much everyone has parts of their studys that are boring or incredible hard. and pretty mich everyone fails some stuff. Just make a plan, figure out what made you fail last time (if it happends) and try to prevent that next time.

tl;dr: dont be like me. be open and honest to your friends, professors and family. and you will make it :)

what a non answer. imagin someone asks for directions, and all they get as an answer is "traveling isnt just beeing good at walking. you need to do the work and find the way"

I mean i totally agree with your observation, but op asked for tips. they are probably a younger person asking more experienced people how to start into life.

Wrked in a bakery with a café part to sit at. the store was in the same building as a convinence store. Every now and then a middle aged woman with smeared make up (think simpsons make up shotgun) went to the convience store the came to us, to first use the toilett and the sit down and "drink" a coffee. at least that is her story. as a worker we all knew that she never drank the coffee, but instead drank those mini alkohol bottles in the toilett ( as if we didnt see the bottles in the trash). she usually gets punch drunk till closing time. but we let her since she obviously felt ashamed about drinking, and seemed to have a hard life as is. but as she got comfortable with the workers, because we were nice to her, she started to belive/act as if she worked there too when drunk. repositioning all the tables and chairs. takeing the toilett keys home and never return them, try to make us hang out inside the store after closing. and if you ever tried to reason with a drunk person you know there is no way. after we needed to call the police the second time just to able to end out shift, and close down, she got banned.

in a way i feel sorry for her, since she was never seen in the store again. these people make me want to be able to help. but i am not able and i get paid minimum wage to keep up with it :/
