So I think they wiped with moss-on-a-stick which is cool but I also think they had communal moss-on-a-stick which really is most heinously uncool and not cash money at all :(

Another fun fact a gladiator killed himself with one of these by shoving it down its throat until he died

I feel like there are easier ways for a gladiator to kill himself.

Maybe he did it in a gruesome way to make a point like the Buddhist monks setting themselves on fire?

Highly informative, but I feel like I was mis-sold the fact at the end, which I fact wasn’t fun at all :(

The tersorium was shared by people using public latrines. To clean the sponge, they simply washed it in a bucket with water and salt or vinegar.This became a breeding ground for bacteria, causing the spread of disease among those using the latrines such as typhoid and cholera.

Definitely a horrendous idea and not cash money at all. I'd be carrying my own water bucket. Why not wash your ass with clean water (like India)? I'm pretty sure they also had soap then and to save soap you can also use soap water. I mean it's really not hard to have a bucket or well with soap water and use flowing water to rinse.

Co-op, you can shake your hand really hard while you poop to make that big poo come down. Cooperation wins

Or... you could arm wrestle whilst pushing your processed food out of your sewer canal, making good use of that extra force.

I wonder if the low-flow restrictions apply to the right toilet.

I wouldn't presume to call them mine, but Electric Light Orchestra are an English rock band best known for the absolute banger Mr Blue Sky.

It's okay, you can have them. As long as we still get to share the songs

Thanks, but for some reason I don't feel like owning people would be a good thing 😄

I mean, that's probably someone's sexual fetish out of the earth's population

I'm very touch-starved, okay? I'll have my hand held whenever and wherever I can get it.

As a youth I went on a backpacking trip. At designated camping spots they had latrines that were open air boxes with a toilet seat on top. They came in three configurations:

  • Solo, one seat
  • Pilot-to-copilot, two seats, side by side
  • Pilot-to-bombardier, two seats, back to back
