    As a nursing assistant I was taught to never touch the knob to turn off the water after I washed my hands. Instead wash your hands, then grab a paper towel, dry your hands, then use the paper towel to turn the water off.

      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.

      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.

    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.

    • @andreamuller9009
      @andreamuller9009 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      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.

    They could have composted the human waste on site, had they had the knowledge to compost it to a safe material that could fertilize the plants used as good or landscaping. It can be done right, where it gets sterilized of any bad bacteria or parasites. For the record, we have an electric aeration septic system.
