where we droppin', boys?
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 :(
They had communal sponge on a stick they washed the sponges between use. There was a restroom attendant whose job it was to do that. Fun fact this is where the expression shit end of the stick originates. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xylospongium#:~:text=The%20xylospongium%20or%20tersorium%2C%20also,spongos)%20fixed%20at%20one%20end.
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?
Yeah but not as kinky
Kinky And stinky.
Shittiest fact of the day. Thanks.
Highly informative, but I feel like I was mis-sold the fact at the end, which I fact wasn’t fun at all :(
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.
What a horrible day to be able to read ☹️
My condolences x
