they'd probably also say "why do women have rights?"
AHAHAHA-
Historically they had rights especially if rich
@@jennifermoriarty2188 not really, western women used to not be able to own their own money or properties unless a male relative is holding the said money. very rare occurrence that most women even rich could choose their husband, own properties or a bank account.
@@jennifermoriarty2188 they had privileges, which weren't exactly rights
Valid
Ok but the "irish ancestors she'll make it through winter" one made me laugh 🤣
That could be the best subtle insult. "Oh yeah, you'll definitely make it through the winter"
Same 😂
🥺🥺🥺
“O-oh my-
My daughter, I’m so proud… 🥹🥹
You’re going to make it through winter!”
Same that was legit funny 😂
Why is that funny?
I always love seeing how despite how much has changed humans haven’t changed that much.
I like to imagine ancient Roman teenagers looking at even older buildings/ruins and daring each other to go in or telling stories of ghosts and monsters to scare each other.
Also the burnt cheese in a pot has to be the funniest archeological discovery I’ve ever seen 😂
I love how when archaeologists find writing there are things on ancient walls like “*name* was here” and random dick doodles.
I think a cave painting writing on a ceiling was translated to say “this is very high”.
Yeah, we haven’t changed much 😆
as a latin student i can confirm that roman teenagers were like us now
To be fair, it was really hard to cook back then because you also had to worry about maintaining constant temperature. 😭 I tried cooking over coals and omfg it’s easier for shit to burn.
Slightly related, but just sprinkle some baking soda on the bottom, and scrub it off. Works like a charm!
If you actually study history you would realize that this statement is absolutely wrong. It's also lie that we know more things now that we did before. We have cooler tools. That's it.
As a Black American, the nursing her own baby and the whipping the children ones hit me a bit. I am glad that more and more of us are embracing breastfeeding our babies and moving away from whipping them.
❣️
honestly the only reason against breastfeeding should be medical conditions, I hate how society pressures parents but especially women to skip out on the important moments of their developing child for the sake of being another cog in the machine
My momma doesn’t whoop me she uses the sandal that goes 90 miles per hr 🥲
Who's preventing you from breathing feeding your babies???? Breastfeeding is essential to a baby's development.
@@brittanyhayes1043t least in my country (nowhere near America and the states lol) breast feeding gets you a lot of scorn, with people saying the wildest things about it and somehow some ppl are sexualizing it?? Yeah and there was a protest abt breast feeding in public and one of the ppl's reason was "you're showing your boobs in public and that's sexually explicit" mhm, that's what the guy said, not sure if anyone took videos but I highly doubt since it's an island I live on and we don't get much publicity.
That one about black parents "disciplining" their kids is gonna stay with me for a while. Generational trauma strikes again😭 (pun very much not intended)
I know same! I came to the comments to see if anyone else was haunted by that one. Like,😳😳😳😳
Not free mentally. They got us good 😔

The biblical one made me laugh 😂(if you don't know, in a part of the Bible it was considered a sin to mix fabrics)
Interesting. I’m Evangelical Christian, but I forgot where it mentions that. What book, and what verse? Genuinely curious
@@Feimicha I think it's in the old testament.
@@Feimicha Leviticus 19:19 and Deuteronomy 22:11
Yup, same. I don't know anything about the bible but I remember someone mentioning that so the video caught me dead🤣
It was more an illustration as a prohibition to the Israelites to not enter mixed marriages with the outside nations as they would influence Judaism to the detriment of Israel.
This is the most adorable thing ever, I’ve always liked to believe our ancestors are watching us from whatever afterlife they’re in and are insanely proud
unfortunately it's slowly being ruined for me cuze all the new ones I'm getting suggested are "shut up you have no rights" like dude this was just a cute way to show how people back then weren't all that different in mundane ways.
My ancestors watching me clog the toilet for the 3rd time: 💀
My ancestors: wait why aren't you wearing a corset
OH I'm wearing 1 piece of the corcet it's called a bra or in other terms brazier it's been Invented by the French for decades now
My ancestors: what size
Me: depending how large your boobs are
I'm pretty sure I disappointed mine. I'm a lesbian that dresses very masculine
this trend has been... SO uplifting for me
I've always hated my fat but my ancestors would be proud of how I would be able to handle winter
My ancestors would be thrilled that I'm pursuing art as a career to provide for myself
They'd probably look at my large, rough, "unladylike" hands and be proud to see the wear of a worker like themselves
Makes me cry, honestly, but a good cry
You are not large because you eat well
You are large because you grew up in a society with large scale food processing with easy, daily access to unhealthy snacks with ingredients you can't even pronounce that are nothing but a quick gateway to obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular problems.
Your ancestor ate a lot less, but cleaner food.
The only ones that could afford to be fat were royalty probably...
Probs not. U think too well of them
No offense. I agree with u on some things but u don't know ur ancestors so u don't know what they'd think of u

My Irish and Scottish ancestors seeing their descendants marrying English people 😂 "after all they did to us?!?"
6:40 this made me so sad because I remembered that slaves had to nurse their owners children and barley had time for their own if they were still with them
They were the same as us. The only difference is video evidence. If you look back at ancient graffiti, they acted the same way we do now.
For example, found on an ancient Roman wall: “Celadus makes the girls moan.”
No doubt Celadus probably wrote it.
Dam
Lol

Lmao
The amount graffiti and doodling has stayed the same through history is such a wonderfully hilaruous thing!
Me doing Wicca:
My dads side: BURN THE WITCH
my moms side: *joins me*
Yeah that'd be my fam too lol
Wicca is an invention of a man in the 1920s, appropriating ancient paganism's themes. There are older traditions of paganism per country and century if you look. They're better. I like Anglo-Saxon witchcraft best.
The one about the woman nursing her own daughter actually made me tear up. In my country, Chile, three hundred years ago, Spaniard women forced indigenous women to give up their babies for them to use them to warm up their feet in winter. Needless to say, those poor babies died crushed by the feet of such horrendous women carrying such rotten souls. Just because they were indigenous. Now I know my DNA is at least half European, but still I hate my ancestors for doing that to my other ancestors.
Thats so awful. I want to know more! I tried googling it but nothing came up.
@@MySparkleSelena +1
Where did you read that?
@@MySparkleSelena
There are way to many instances of white people stealing indigenous children and abusing them in history. It can be hard sometimes finding English translations of things so that might be it.
@@MCKevin289 yes I understand. I agree its something that happened here in canada too. Dont know if you heard of it but basically they tried to force the "indian out of the child" (their awful words not mine) by taking the indigenous children and forcefully putting them in religious residential school where many were abused, malnourished and neglected. A lot of them died and they just buried them without telling anyone. This makes me so angry at my settlers ancestors (im not indigenous) for doing that and letting it happens. If anyone wants to know more about it, you can google "indian residential schools in canada". Theyre still searching residential schools property to this day and finding indigenous children corpses. What happened is disgusting and I fully support the indigenous in their process to obtain reparation and justice. 🧡🧡🧡
As an irish person, that first Irish one was absolutely hilarious 💀💀💀
Sameee 💀💀✋
Could you explain it?
@@cupcake4798 Her Irish ancestors say she’ll make it through the winter because she sees herself as thick, so even with the potato famine happening she’ll be able to survive because of the fat in her body

Me: **learns about paganism and sigil work**
My Slavic and Norse ancestors: Welcome home kiddo 🥰
Yeah. They'd be so proud of us.
I still don’t even know who my ancestors were but I’ve learned a bit of german because I think it is a beautiful language. I’m also learning Spanish because it’s part of school.
I’m working on paganism and thinking of starting sigil work
I’m actually planning on visiting Germany later this year!
This is me, too, but also with studying the faerie world and celebrating Celtic holidays

As an Indian, I absolutely love these because for some reason they just make me feel closer to home
Yuup. Still braiding our hair, wearing traditional garments and jewelry, putting oils on our scalp and haldi on our faces. It brings me a lot of joy to feel connected to my culture :)
agreed :)
I remember studying Othello in secondary school and being really happy to find a scene where Desdemona and her best friend literally just get drunk and start playing "would you rather".
I like how many of these were sweet and wholesome. My favorite has to be the one about cats running across your work

I’m Puerto Rican and we don’t have much known history at least to my knowledge so it always makes me happy seeing people do these trends
We do have a lot of history... We had taino culture for hundreds of years before Spain invaded, and the the United States. Its well documented, but history of taino culture is not being taught anymore.
we do have a lot of history you just have to go out of your way to personally learn about it because they don't teach it like that anymore.
We have a ton of history but our schools don't teach any of it unfortunately -- Agueybana I and II were Boriken caciques and lead rebellions against the Spanish. In Ayiti, the cacique Anacaona was hanged alongside 50 other caciques or so by the Spanish, and her nephew Enriquillo later lead a successful rebellion against the Spanish for 30ish years, until the Spanish gave up because it was too expensive to keep fighting. Enriquillo and his people were given autonomous lands as a result. Unfortunately, after he died the lands were taken back. Many taino fled to Boriken during the initial Spanish colonization of Ayiti after relations turned sour (Anacaona did lead some years of peace between Taino and Spanish and there was even mutual marriages but it didn't last).
El Yunque is related strongly to Yucahu -- the Taino zemi (ancestor/god spirit) of the yuca. The name literally means "breath of yuca". A common zemi figurine of Yucahu looks strongly like one of the mountains in El Yunque. Jibaro means country or mountain person now, sometimes means being old fashioned in a negative way, but its original meaning in Taino is most likely something like "person of the forest".
We love our flag because the Gag Law of 1948-1957 made it a crime to possess or display the flag (as well as talk about independence or sing patriotic tunes), even in your own homes. Federal forces would raid people's homes, children would be arrested in protests, and people found guilty had to pay a fine of $10,000, or be sentenced to 10 years in prison. The first Puerto Rican Pride Parade was in 1958 once the law was ruled unconstitutional.
Bomba itself is our oldest song and dance, the next Plena, and is directly from our African ancestors and Afro Boricuas who maintained as much of their culture as they could despite centuries of enslavement (PR did not abolish slavery until 1873). PR culture is heavily influenced by West African roots bc many African ethnic groups brought over were from the Yoruba, Igbo, and Bantu speaking groups, and some others.
Salsa was born in New York with Boricua and Cuban immigrants bringing their music and mixing it together.
The segregated PR unit, the 65th Infantry Regiment (Borinqueneers) fought in almost every major battle of the Korea War, and covered the retreat the Marines during Chosin Reservoir. All despite the racism they suffered from the military and the Gag Law their families were under back home. The unit was awarded the congressional gold medal for its service.
Our history has much sadness, but there is a unifying core of resistance no matter what, and the blending of cultures to make new ones.
Thank you all of u for telling me, I wish school would teach it to us.
@@Joyride37 this was amazing! You are amazing. Thank you
“In February!?” This cracked me up I’m sorry 😂😂
this doesnt happen to me often but i teared up watching this video for some reason omg
same omg I thought i was the only one
Me too. I think it's the realization that our ancestors *would* be proud of us. There's a lot of people who say that our ancestors would be disappointed in us because we're "weak" or "soft". More likely, they'd be glad we don't have to worry about if we'll survive the winter, that we can all read and go to school, that we don't have to fight over territory or food just to survive. I used to worry that my great-grandfather would be disappointed in me before I realized that we do a lot of the same things; painting, map-drawing, teaching people, speaking German.... Hell, my Germanic ancestors are probably going nuts rn! 🤣 "Look! He's learning our language despite living across the ocean and a landmass much larger than ours! He may not ever visit but he's doing it anyway!"
Yeah. They'd be proud of us. 🥰
I didn't tear up, I was full on crying. I'm... yeah.
Bro some of my ancestors were Aztecs, others were just white italian, English, and spanish people, like these people have very solid bloodlines 💀
Literally... Not me being English, scotch Irish, French, and native American. There's other stuff but it's not as funny.
@@cthulhucult3230 yeah theres a lot more people nowadays who have very mixed races
Same. The most I know about my ancestry is that I'm a fifth-generation American on my mom's side from France. My dad's mom said she also had a lot of Scottish blood. That's really all I know.
I'm sure a lot of the people in this video have mixed ethnicities in their family's past too; they just think certain ancestors would react particularly to certain modern habits, or maybe they just relate strongly to that aspect of their heritage.
@@madisonmcallister4835 this! I have a lot of mixed blood too. But I relate to my Irish and Spaniard roots more, and with time I've been learning to appreciate my other roots too. However I still feel some strong desire for the Irish roots. Like, I've been putting a finger on this line for years (since I was 3y.o.). Hopefully one day I'll find out why.
The first Irish one made me laugh. I am Chinese, but my aunties and grandparents are all “Oh, they’re so thin, do they eat well? Do you think they’ll grow up to be a strong person and marry a strong man?”
I’m 16, I’m non-binary and on the aromantic spectrum (lol) but it’s nice to hear from them

A person should never feel like a failure for having a c-section. My mom laboured for hours with my older sister but didn't dilate, started having seizures that almost cost her her life and had an emergency c-section. She is one of the strongest people I know and is the opposite of a failure. Either way you grew a whole new human being for 9 months, literally created life from nothing but a few cells, having to have your child cut out so that you get to raise it doesn't make you a failure, being willing to go through a huge operation to bring your child into the world is something incredible in its own right. Both ways of birth are amazing and deserve respect
I kinda wish I knew who my ancestors were. I've never taken DNA test, but I think I'm mostly a mix of different western European regions. I feel no connection to the cultures my ancestors came from and I sort of envy those who do
Sentiments vary from person to person. If a person's ancestry goes back to places/cultures that they arent locally a part of, they may or may not actually feel connected with the foreign culture.
I feel the same. I know I have Irish, Welsh, and Norwegian ancestry, but I haven’t been raised with any connection to my heritage. I very much envy those who have a connection to their ancestors and culture.
i reckon if you're american, you're already pretty mixed, but it's never too late to take a dna test and reconnect with your culture :) i have personally been raised in the country of my ancestors (it sounds weird to say it like that lol but idk how to word it) and i still sometimes feel disconnected from my culture! it's okay to learn anew or late. maybe you'll find something new about yourself :)
@@mothmanonahikersphone I agree that it's cool to have connections to your heritage, but don't forget to enjoy some of the perks of not being considered a foreigner all the time.
Genealogist nerd here, its actually not hard to find out! If you can find any information about the oldest dead relative you know (Grandparents or Great Grandparents work well) you can actually search Family history websites like My Heritage or Ansestry where many family trees have been pieced together going up hundreds or even a thousand years. Even approximate data is very searchable and census records in the US are available to the public up into 1950.

It is kinda weird how we complain about having the "worst year(s) of our lives here lately " and granted in our minute of being alive that might be right...but then you think what kind of times you're ancestors must have survived just for the mere fact you, your self are actually alive, right?

4:29 The irish ancestors got me dying 🤣
Same😂😂
Damn, most of these are so wholesome, I love it, very refreshing! 🥲Reminds me of another wholesome post someone made about how people that say "what would your/our ancestors think of you/us now?" are wrong because our ancestors would probably be really happy and proud of us living comfortable lives, in what they would consider back then to be luxury. Well, those of us who are fortunate enough to live in relatively wealthy countries and who are middle-class, at least. I hope someday we can all live comfortable lives in safe, fairly affluent societies. It saddens me that there are starving children out there, people without homes, and women still living in oppressive cultures where they are considered the property of men. Places where people are still suffering. Until such a day comes that are all equitable and free, our work is not yet done.
Also the c-section one hit me hard. I was delivered via c-section, I might not have survived otherwise and it could've also put my mother in danger. Ladies who have had or may one day have to have a c-section, please please do NOT ever see yourselves as failures! You did/are doing what is best for yourself and your child, so don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise! And fuck anyone who says that c-sections are somehow inferior or in any way wrong, and also fuck anyone that makes a mother feel bad for not breastfeeding or tries to pressure a mother into breastfeeding! People can't always breastfeed after a c-section, and there are many other reasons why women can't/don't want to breastfeed either. There's nothing wrong with formula feeding or doing a mixture of both, research has shown there is little difference in the growth and development of children who were breastfed vs those who weren't (I was formula-fed myself) so fuck anyone who says otherwise.
This warms my heart so much ❤ it’s nice to see how far we’ve come with everyone’s rights, whether that be for their culture, practices, or what we look like

Are you of British origin?

Nah, how often should I have to tell them that I'm literally as white as they come, and while I never took an ancestry I'd be probably mostly North-Western European like from UK/Ireland region to Italy, Western and Eastern Europe I honestly wouldn't be gobsmacked. Granted one family (ALLGEDLY) goes back into the same village centuries ago but the other side document legitimately went up in flames in WW2 so speculations are all I have and to make matters worse they might not even live that far away from bodies of water in the beginning.

Me: *practicing dance*

Me: that is honestly a good question.
Why NOT do it for competition? And I thought the reason they didn't move their arms was because of some kind of Catholic repression.

But also like a reminder that everything is ritual. The way we choose to wake up, go to bed, eat, cook, dress, etc. Slowing down and feeling how much those things impact us (our mood, outlook, mindset, etc) is good stuff.
8:01- Yes, Naths are our very traditional Indian/South-Asian jewelry, having their origins in Hindu culture( i.e 16 adornments of Hindu women), estimates suggest this practice to be 5000years old atleast in South-Asia and is now followed by Muslim, Buddhist, Sikh South-Asian women now alike.
The Nath is very special and specific to a particular province/community, we Hindus can easily tell the province or place a woman belongs to, based on her nath. Earlier, every Hindu women compulsorily wore them, but it has faded since the 1900s and is only seen now in our traditional Hindu festivals, ceremonies like marriages etc and both Hindu men and women could wear them historically though the men ones are now very rare and they are not very elaborate as like women.

The Irish language one really got me. I’m tearing up and I’m not even Irish… fuck me
It's still an irish thing having a little extra weight. I'd complain I didn't like my thighs or something as a teenager and my Nana would say "it's a good thing, you'll need it to stay warm through the winter". Although the original meaning has somewhat disappeared, we still say i5.
Some of these made me tear up honestly. So many things that I have access to today didn't exist even for my family members who are older than me. Being able to eat fresh fruit, having a bank account as a woman and having my own money. Lots of things we take for granted are a big deal to many
I... I don't even know who my ancestors are. Not a clue. I know where I've come from... Kind of. I uh... I want to but... I'd have to sit for hours and hours in a library going from book to book tracing my family back... I don't have the time but I want to know who I come from

If you have your grandparents alive, there's a good chance of taking all of you a DNA test! And even if it's only your parents or just you. It's always interesting to see where that goes.
@@annabourbon I wonder if I could convince them, it'd be so fun to know
Why was i crying throughout this video?
The ones about the cats walking over our work is so adorable 😂💕
I love how this trend makes our ancestors wholesome and doesn't shove controversy too far in your face! It shows that we are all human and we all have unique cultures!. its a nice refresher!
6:20 made me cry
My Irish, Nigerian, and Ghanian ancestors would shake their heads at me while i stay up reading wattpad fanfictions.
That, and the fact i cant speak Nigerian, Ghanian, Spanish or Gaelic.
the cats walking all over your work one 😸🥺🥺
8:34
Dang that got me tearing up thinking of how some of my ancestors probably beat some black slaves…
Oh no i got emotional about this compilation. Our ancestors are so beautiful and flawed and complicated and some of these performances made me really feel their humanity.
Indian women used to use far revealing clothing before european influence. But yes, everyone is allowed to pick their preference of their own culture as they wish.
The nursing one really got me!
9:36
dude i just got *goosebumps* i wasnt really expecting to see someone of the same culture here but i was pleasantly surprised
The one with the burned food made me laugh!
I recently learned that I have Swiss-German ancestry, & doing research on clothes, language, and traditions has been so cool! I’m like 80% English tho so that part’s kinda disappointing lol😅
Yeahh greetings from a Swiss 🇨🇭 🔥 Hold on are you Swiss-German or Swiss and German tho ?
@@combattant4832 hi! And, there’s one couple of great-something grandparents, one Swiss and one German, so I kinda assumed the Swiss person would’ve had to speak Swiss-German to be with the German person, but I’m not totally sure lol :’D
1:23 is so amazing
Yes
I'd like to think our ancestors are proud of the advancements we have and how hard we push through our struggles, rather than shaming us for being "weaker" or "lazy" compared to them.
Yeah, I think we've gotten used to the boomer rhetoric. Previous generations wanted life to be easier on the next generation
@@jellatok Yeah, but I've also heard people saying that we're so much lazier compared to them, and especially "everyone is diagnosed with some type of disorder or mental illness nowadays!" Yeah, that's the problem and why we're struggling so much! And we're discovering new medical things, which also accounts for that
That's true, but they forget to account for the fact, like you said, our ancestors knew very little about medical knowledge. Especially mental health. People with mental health issues were ousted from the group usually. Also, when you're struggling just to meet basic needs, you may not even notice symptoms from some conditions (or you hide it)
@@jellatok I hide my mental illnesses and I'm neurodivergent, so that makes it even harder to be seen and heard properly
3:16 I feel like Shakespeare would not care if it's queer or not he's just happy it's still popular.
I think this is the most wholesome video I've seen. We have so much to be proud of and grateful for 🙏🏼🥰🌷
These make me so happy. And very emotional as well.
Really goes to show that we are so alike as our ancestors and so many stuff that we have and enjoy today have been around for centuries.
As a history buff I approve of this trend.
my ancestors would probably think my family and I are hardcore asf cause we live in a country that used to be known as the Cannibal Isles
my most favourite history concept:
"Humans have always been humans" ❤
3:17 Didn't Shakespeare queer-code a lot of his plays tho? Like in Hamlet Horatio calls Hamlet "sweet prince" which I've heard was queer coded for the time back then. Idk, could just be me tho
I think that's the whole point of the tiktok; Shakespeare's response read as a nonverbal "did I not make it obvious?" to me
I cried @7:45.
We're doing so much better as humans, I think the ones before us will be happy.
That "My dear..you would've been art" is so wholesome 😊❤️
Irish ancestor: “she’ll make it through winter”
As an Irish, that is so fucking funny
I literally cried while watching this.
Thank you
So much
I didn't even realize how badly I needed this.
The line at 2:34 hit me for some reason that to them bodies like that would be art but to some today its seen as unwanted. those bodies are what art was built upon.
