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.
If there is liquid soup I wash the tap at the same time as I wash my hands. ;)
And to open the door. Many public restrooms put a trash can by the door.
We were taught to do that since childhood.
Paper towels are used to turn off the water and open the door.
@@annwilliams6438 I carry liquid soap and steel wool and disassemble the entire sink and all the toilets, scrubbing them until they sparkle.
Who is glad to be born in 20th and 21th centuries
Children
Indifferent.
born in the 20th.. works for me
The past was the worst.
Me kinda
Wow, We live as royalty with private bathrooms, running water, toilet paper and soap ‼️
I don't use the water..too many chemicals..that's why my skin is good
Better than royalty!
Why is this video a freaking hour and a half???!! And I’m watching every minute of it lol
Same thoughts…same action. Lol
I have been watching this video for days 😂
I love long videos
@@jett888 I have felt for a long time that entertainment providers dumb down their output because attention spans are generally a lot shorter nowadays. I have a younger cousin who can hardly concentrate for 10 minutes at a time. If her need for instant gratification isn't met her brain simply switches off 🤦 I despair, I really do.
It’s a conglomeration of the individual videos they’ve done on the subject is why. They took them and made a historical overview of it.
Soap single handedly saved literally billions of people’s lives since its invention
👏🏾👏🏾
Amen! Soap was the ultimate civilizing substance.
Biden = 👨👧🚿
And because of the chemical in today's soaps and creams etc etc we are now dying of cancer.
@@angelaberni8873so much of that is fear mongering unless you are prone to certain disorders & diseases , common body wash, bar soap & shampoo present zero danger. It does get lots of clicks on SM though.
This was about as horrifying as it gets. How heartbreaking that people had to live like this. But the humor in this presentation was great.
Yes I loved the humor too!
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.
This really make "time travel " much less enticing
I was hoping to travel to the late 17th century with the machine I inveneted last year. But now.... I'm reconsidering going back in the 1920s or 1940s intead. 😂😂😂
1964 Paris for me. or 1958 Pasadena.
@@MissBabalu102Aaahh Paris 1964, quelle belle année, merci ! On se voit là-bas. 😉 🇫🇷
Not sure if it's in here but the stink was also why women carried bouquets when getting married
Life of an astronaut on a spaceship doesn’t sound fancy anymore
please never change the narrator, his voice is just perfect!
My sentiments exactly.
Even sadder that so many people around the world in 2024, still dont have fresh water, soap, clothes, plumbing etc.
Or food.
What planet are we on?
Yeah, what a bunch of lazy people. Can't even dig a well or make a shirt
Mr Beast has been building wells and houses in Africa , but he is being called a racist for ddoing it. No good deed........
@@Lemmon714_ Of course, fixing a problem leaves these non profit organizations poor. They aren't there to help, they are there to scam money.
@@Lemmon714_ everyone who does anything these days is being called a racist. Just breathing makes you a racist in some circles! I'd go so far as to say that, if someone isn't calling you a racist just for existing, then you're not an effective member of society.
Many countries still live under many of these conditions. Turkey has holes in the floor you stand over to go potty to this day. No privacy. Public bathing too. My sister just got back from there. She was fascinated with their culture.
Hey im 71 and still remember receiving a drop ether anesthetic as a child. Very specific smell, taste, and horrific visual hallucinations while recovering.
What did they use at the dentists? I recall really weird (and always green) dreams at the school dentist's every time I had 'gas'.
Wow! I also remember that smell, the ether, such a distinct smell and enjoyable. I did not have the hallucinations.
I had my tonsils out in 1969, and the ether is one of my earliest mem, too. I'm 59.
Either. The most horrible smell.
History of soap would be interesting
It’s a dirty video 😅
You should hear the history of deodorant and tampons!! Those Egyptians were brilliant.
Roman had soap from the Celtic und Gernanic tribes
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.
@@andreamuller9009 damn. You need to add any more “by the way’s” to that, or is your masculinity satisfied now? 🤣🤣🤣
This was such a super funny documentary with all the comments from the narrator. Excellent job in the presentation, I loved it and was laughing my ass off a lot. Thank you.
so basically Versailles was LA but in the 1700s
There was a Carmen Sandiego computer game we had when I was a kid, where a Roman citizen FIRMLY declared they wiped their asses with “sponges attached to sticks”, and I can still hear the line in my head 15+ years on, lol.
I remember “Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego” and I loved that game as a kid.
Where in the world is Carmen San Diego?
Memories rushing back!!!
what they didn't tell you is that stick was shared, horrific stuff : D
I still have my Carmen Sandiego compass toy
Finland has had saunas for thousands of years, even the poorest had a sauna to clean themselves. Sauna culture is still strong, though bathrooms and showers have been built too for more than a centennia.
They still smelled don’t be fooled
And to think, places like Herculaneum and Pompeii had bath houses and promoted cleanliness… long before saunas were a thought.
@@saragrant9749 yes, but only for the rich
@@aaabee5440 actually studies of the ruins have shown that the bathhouses were for everyone- cleanliness was encouraged for all and seen as part of honoring their Gods.
“Or no one wanted to point out the emperor wore a rug” is one of the most underrated funny comments 🤣
You're a bigot.some minorities are bald.
Lime is limestone not fruit.
Actually, hydrated lime, AKA quicklime. But yes, the rock, not the citrus fruit
Lol
Yes that image, and the heating of citrus to create quicklime, did tickle a funny bone 🙄
I guess fact checking is not this guy's strong suit.
Good to just see and not smell it 😁
Real 😂
Re: thumbnail - Those two ladies are from one of Amorsolo's paintings. His style and subjects are distinctive even for me who is not that knowledgable art.
Since the topic was about bathing, I had hoped you would cover how Asia did it. :(
Thanks for this compilation! 🧼
Idk why this is the first time in a long time one of these popped up in my algorithm... I want it back in tho
Or you could just subscribe 🤡
The algorithm looks for common denominators in your history. You can effect it by deleting your history or binge watching a particular channel type
Corncobs are not scratchy. They're actually quite soft. I'm 80 and I remember the outhouse on my grandparents farm when I was a kid. They had indoor plumbing, but there was still a bucket corncobs in the outhouse just in case.
That’s so cool. My mom’s childhood home had an outhouse, they used pages from the catalogues to wipe their bums. When I spent summers there in the 70’s as a little kid they had indoor plumbing but no running hot water, and the stove was heated by wood.
Or a sears catalog. Hahaha
Just found your channel thanks for the video and interesting history lesson!❤
A+ video!
LOVE IT! It's a hygiene odyssey!
I listen to this as I’m driving, washing dishes, laundry and ohhhh boy I am so glad for modern times
Delightful subtle humor. Loved it!😅
The civil war doctors also used boiled horse tail hair for stitches
The north did not in the beginning
Long and strong, and commonly available.
My favorite narrator❤
Now we are dying mainly because of chemicals in ALL of our cleaning products and foods that we eat. The air and soil isn't particularly healthy either.😢
Yea same society just different times.
I hate it
Nice to have Republicans who are trying to reverse all regulations that stop putting chemicals into the air and water, because controlling pollution reduces corporate profits.
They openly talk about closing the EPA.
We ridicule the Victorians, and earlier generations, for the weird additives , products and treatments they resorted to but modern manufacturing and methods have an awful lot to answer for.
Not to mention " forever chemicals" and micro plastics. We still live far longer, healthier lives.
We live like our Monarchs lived just a couple of centuries ago and yet people seem to think they deserve more and have zero understanding or gratitude for our progress.
Yeah and people to camping for fun, that's disrespectful to the centuries of poor bastards that camped to live
@@matthewwilton7778 I hadn’t thought of that, best wishes.
@@matthewwilton7778 there are lots of pastimes that are based on activities that are occupations for others. Enjoying partaking in them isn't disrespectful to those who earn(ed) a living doing them, it's paying homage.
For those who don’t want watch an hour of repeats. This is just a compilation of their other eps on the subject
Still better than the other guy.....
I've actually been hoping they would try this method. I like this channels method
@@buzzzzzz69💯
It's very well organized
Biden = 👨👧🚿
Well, I may have been born in the last century. It’s still better than those that went before.
Make a video of history about how the Romans celebrated Christmas
Sanitary Commission in Chicago & other major cities turned the tide during Civil War. But for all the reasons listed in your excellent video, it was a long, difficult task, & changes weren't really effective until post-war, but wherever the Commission was present, everything improved, if only while they were there.
Loving me the long video and the best narrator on UA-cam! Great way celebrate it's independence day.
He's BACK ❤❤❤❤
I think this is a compilation
@@matthewwilton7778 either way, it's always good to hear his voice ☺️☺️
❤i agree@@bluerose143
Donating blood regularly is a modern excellent treatment for several health problems, and it's not called bloodletting only bcz the blood can be safely collected and reused in other people that need it.
But not if you are deficient in Vitamin B12.
Alum really does work on pimples… it dries the skin out
And Honey is anti bacterial
Fellow New Orleans resident here! I was thinking some of those ingredients do help with acne
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. But I would do the composting method if we had no access to electricity.
And there was me thinking that they could have dried it out for fuel 🤷 both more difficult in town centres or temporary camps but certainly solutions that could have worked in the right circumstances.
Wow ! This is sort of an interesting 🤔 video , I never wonder how 🤔 our ancestors took a bath 🛁 or a shower 🚿 in 🎉ancient times. I learned something new everyday 😌.
I think pp of every century are glad that the didn’t live in the century before.
Not quite every century, but it's common yes. But living in a time when things in your world region were better the previous century has got to be a terrible experience.
During most of history nothing changed from one century to the next.
Rapid change is a very modern thing.
How true! I would rather live in this century than before.
Actually I think it common that some people wish they were. Every generation has its problems and previous ones always seem to have fewer, or simpler ones.
That sounds like HSV 1 not “pimples”
Happy fourth American brothers/sisters
👍 Good longer episode with the Best Narrator on youtube🎆Happy✨4th of July🎉 & Bday USA!🇺🇸 🗽Independance Day 🇺🇸
That was fun and very informative!
Thank you!
As an introvert all I can see is a lack of privacy here, they bathe together play the news the toilet together nothing is done alone... I could never do it😂 but very interesting story
You'd grow up like that you wouldn't know
I cant stop watching. Love this format
Maybe I shouldn't eat dinner to this video
The best!! Thanks for the great videos!
He’s baaaackk!!! Where have you been and don’t ever leave again! ❤
Don't think he's back, this is recycled material....I think, pretty sure
It is a compilation of related episodes... As for narrator, with two channels and a podcast they need to use multiple narrators to prevent burning out, especially the one in this video.
@@MrShadow-qz9xj aaaw..I was so excited to have him back :-(
Pretty cool video, thanks 👍
I don't know why I'm obsessed with hygiene history
I have been watching this video for days! A real adhd challenge 😅
Every time I come back to watch it, I press backwards to the last part I remember
I’m going to watch this again! Great video and humor! 😂😂
Great narration! Just the right tone. Thanks!
My dad used ammonia to put a shine on his windows for as long as I knew him. I couldn't even stand being in the same room as the bucket, let alone apply it to the glass, so how he coped I have no idea.
Interesting subject. Thanks.
Cool images. Thanks for sharing
i need more this compilation video
Good episode with the good narrator!
You should have put in the Plague scene from Holy Grail! Lol
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.
My autism says no 😅
I wish they would bring back the graveyard shift
Agreed, people are vicious for no reason. Their time would be better spent finding something to compliment of the other narrators. Everyone has their own thing. They are great ❤.
Hey y'all 😮
...yep. This is UA-cam..not MGM Studios
My YT husband. Your snark and humor is second to none
Weird history, weirdly interesting!
Can you do a video on hygiene during the 18th and 19th century America?
I took a shower for THIS?
Love your sense of humour 😆
I suppose attending the public bath as emperor gave you one advantage . If your tackle wasnt up to scratch to some of the other patrons , they wouldnt dare mention it
I am itching all over watching this. Heebie jeebies! What is very sad is we have tent camps all over supposed first world countries. And they have the issue of contagious diseases.
4 mins ago ❤🤍💙 happy independence day 🎆🎆
Much to be thankful for 🙏🏽
🤔Hmmm... That is a damn good theory about aliens👽been bald... lol
Don’t know why i watched this whole thing buttttttttt it was interesting
Good stuff.
The best narrator for sure.
Ring around the roses.
Pocket full of posies.
I'm Glad that I'm in this Century! here in America!
The same American that denies healthcare and has a bunch of people who think the latest pandemic was a “sham?” And refused to wash their hands, wear masks or social distance?
Why does it feel that history does repeat itself in some way…
It does every two to four hundred years, it's an endless link. No matter how advanced we get as a civilization, if we become dependent on AIs, robots, newspapers, or old fashioned ideas. It won't stop until we learn our lessons from two to three thousand years ago, to just learn to be and let be. Yes, learning about history, astrology, ecology, human civilization, maths, etc. is important. No matter how many times we "learn" we tend to unlearn because everyone else of other cultures think for themselves "Why would I need this nformation? When will I use it? Never. All this geology stuff is BS!" Then the mindless people of the future will continue on the link of unlearning from the past. Rather than learning from past mistakes and finding solutions. This applies to everything not just the study of earth and finance.
It also applies to self care, hygenic paractices, city planning and archittecture, as well as plumbing.
✌
There are skills that have been lost in my lifetime. They may not be necessary to learn because everything is on the internet if we need it. But take down the power grid and all that knowledge is lost. Plus , whilst reading gives you information, it does not give you the skill to apply it.
@FC-PeakVersatility Exactly, like recipes, how to mend clothes, using a washer, dryer, how to fix your ____ , how to repair a window or ______.
Thankfully, my community taught us from an early age how to live without electronics. I know how to cook on an open fire, fish, hunt, find herbs and fruits, and make utensils out of wood.
I was one of those mindless people "When will I use this skill, this is stupid " then my group got separated from the bigger group and we depended on each other for a month to remember these skills. We ended up earning ten badges!
But the fact that you've built two houses, a toilet, created your own toilet paper, and utensils from scratch is the best feeling in the world!!
Our settlement home was small but big enough for six people. Better than nothing.
How did the Innuit maintain their hygiene while living in Igloos?
It could be worse as an Ig is an igloo without a loo
Who said that they did. There was an old fashioned habit of coating kids in animal fat and stitching them into their clothes for the winter that many cultures employed.
Body odor throughout the years. Love it
I always heard that Caesar was terrified of body lice, and that’s why he refused to have body hair. He also only took one privilege when he was on the battlefield with his soldiers, his tent had wood planks on the floor, literally bc he was afraid of bugs. I don’t even remember where I first heard that now!
Narrator is brilliant! A talented humorist who made me laugh throughout. Considering the subject, humor helped cover the gross moments. 😝
It’s crazy to think that all that actually wasn’t too long ago! Like the 1920’s was only 100 years ago!
Titanic was only 8 years before that. CRAZY 🤪
22:30 - in fact, that was a great idea! Flames sterilize air.
Who would've guessed urine was such an important part of our history. And to find that out on the birthday of our nation, I love this country.
Urine and alum were used to tan leather for a very long time, and still is for some.
Now we can trully see, how we're indeed animals, always were and always will be, not long ago we're way more filth than most animals ! God, most people still are !
Interesting to see the French haven't changed.
20th century yes!! 21st? Not so much. My grandchildren face an uncertain future in this topsy-turvy world! 😢
I feel the same way.
A blood test has just been invented to check for colorectal cancer. There are great improvements every day. We are living in the safest times ever, but we get scared as we get older.
This feels like I’m watching a documentary
My grandparents went to the public bathhouse in NYC once a week when they were children. Apartments did not have bathing facilities.
I'm so glad the Lord has me living now. 😮
It also tells us not to trust Hollywood movies.
Who invented bathing naked is a genius, really
But it was so common sense to bathe naked.
While we undoubtedly are lucky to have higher standards of hygiene today than in the past, it's not like those victorian people didn't think themselves lucky to have cesspits instead of having to dodge emptying chamberpots.
I'm sure in 200 years there will be something similar about how early 21st century was a horrible time to live in with high air pollution and nasty splashing toilets without inertial dampening or whatever the standards are then.
I want to know more about the water in public bath houses... Was it cleaned regularly and how. Or, was it nasty?
I was wondering about all this randomly.
Id google it, but now i dont have to.
Happy 4th of July Everyone 🇺🇸

1:23:54 really disappointed that there was no grainy explosion here when the poop hit the atmosphere. Overall though I love these compilations. I have pretty bad adhd so at work I can only focus with a secondary audio source and this helps a lot.
🤔 I can't concentrate on any thing without my earphones playing something.. Anything... Could I have adhd? I'm sure there are more factors then finding it hard to concentrate. Waiting in a shop queue I have to play mobile phone games
