“On April 19th I made bread.”
Yo my bday
Imma do that from now on
@@Psspr273 bro even changed his name to bread
@@blorger that’s dedication
Why is it strange that I found this comment on this exact day. I ask you sir, have you made bread today?
"We pissed in the bed, it's not our fault; there was no chamber pot"
reads like an angry review posted from a burner yelp account lol
That's no excuse you pay full rent.
@@SFVYachtClub ancient karens be like
@@SFVYachtClub I came here to say exactly that :)
Humans are always gonna human, regardless of culture, time, or language
4chan before the internet, I love it.
Man has changed very little
But woman has.
@@NutnRoll cringe
@@thanoscube8573 Huh?
@@NutnRoll edgy and cringe lmao
"Bro wheres the bathroom i crapped the bed"
I wish so many slides were not cut off
Cacator is such an hilarious word
Still exist in Italian language, cagatore, same meaning as Latin.
It exists still in all modern latin languages with the same meaning. Some words do not change in 2000 years of History.
@@rogeriomonteiro760 yes I know I'm a french speaker lol
@@NimrodelMirage In fact in my language ( portuguese ) it is cagador.
It really shows that we really have not evolved at all in 2000 years. Imagine what future archaeologists will think of our memes.
They'll probably wonder at our stupidity, as do I.
Thank you to the whims of UA-cam for sending this lecture my way
Now let’s study curse scrolls!
I loved it.I am fascinated by history.Pompeii is a topic I and currently reading about
It's all fake dude.
@@kwimmsyou’re fake.
Do you know it's a hoax?
Makes me wonder what people thousands of years past our time will be writing
"On April 19th, I made bread too"
On May 12, I made avocado toast.
@@brutustantheiii8477 "Mars stinks"
Brilliant! Universal concerns remain!
"SATIN RULEZ"
"WELL... IT'S A NICE FABRIC AND ALL, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT RULES..."😅
@12.57 An alternative translation might be: I wonder, wall, what stops you falling, 'neath the weight of all this scrawling.
hectic piece braaaaaaaah
Cant get over the fact that samius literally said "kys!" to cornelius:( wonder what he did lol:((
Ancient shitposting
Best description I’ve seen.
Considering there was a tendency for writing in walls with shit. Shitposting is a very accurate term
Lovers, like bees lead a honeyed life..
That is until you get stung by your significant other.
In what specific way...
18:34 Prostitution is the second-oldest profession, after hunting, because only after you've hunted and gotten food will the prostitutes be interested in what you have to trade, innit?
Well, gardening was the first profession. They lived in their own garden, you know.
This was so fucking funny
Oddly, both amusing and informative. I never learned latin in school, but even I picked up on some of the things wriiten beforehand :)
Oh cmon we r adults, show us everything 😢
The kids know it all already!
Very clever.
That's not textbook Latin! They often drop the accusative ending -m. And I never learned Latin handwriting, so some of the graffiti are very hard to read. Even when they carefully printed, II and IIII were strange to me. This was interesting and a lot of fun.
... and the King's English is not spoken by most of his subjects. Plus ca change ...
What happened to the prudish Perth I knew in the early 1960s
Onya mate takes an Aussie to carry this one with humour.
Hmm. The Romans carried it with much humor, two thousand years earlier than the first 'Australians' - not to be confused with aborigenies .
censorship is sad-
But what about the children?
Was no childhood in Rome, just bully brutishness from the big ones. Little people got bent over.
Christianity was a social revolution.
Wait. 4th minute...Why would someone write 3AD? If Jesus was supposedly born just 3 years before, he wouldn't even be known yet. What is the actual date it really says??
What? I thought that people in those times weren't able to write nor read
Not necessarily
Apparently literacy rate back in the peak roman era was relatively high when compared the medieval era
The meaning of "literacy" in the Ancient World is a debated topic. For example, just because a person was literate enough to keep business records (which relied on a number of abbreviations) did not necessarily mean he could read a lengthy text, say Caesar or Vergil. If a person knew his letters well enough to sound out the word -- & there is evidence that people at that time habitually read out loud -- he could understand most of this graffiti. And that level of literacy can be achieved with a few months of schooling.
Tame
'Candid' look? Minime vero! Bowdlerized and censored. Decorum est nunc in terra Australis.
This guy is tweaking hard lol
"Please dont be offended"
When you sell your soul to ideology
I don't know about all that but it's annoying having extensive warnings about vulgarity then go on to extensively sensor it and constantly apologize for it. Like holy shit dude, none of the worst versions of these are worse than high school locker room talk. Imagine getting offended by 1,944 year old bathroom wall scribbles.
I'm pretty sure he was mostly talking about the homosexual and little boy slide. Most people now a day are okay with acknowledging sex between adults, but talking about specific sex positions like sodomy and other devious acts is clearly still offensive today
@SimplyApollo damn snowflake generation can't accept that real men kept their swords in each other's sheaths. Maybe the wokeism infiltrating the military will show that it might take a kick in the ass to get recruits in gear, but they gotta keep their gear in their asses to keep their asses in gear.
@@SimplyApollo"Devious acts" lol, we humans haven't changed at all in millenia then since it seems a bunch of prudes still exist.
So the British claim to have invented humor, no twere the Latins
So they used B.C. in B.C. ? 🤪 Just saying.
Oh, I know this one!: The graffiti names the consuls, Marcus Lepidus and Quintus Catullus who did their consul thing together for one year only, the year that modern folk call 78 BC.
You missed it. A.D. just meant yesterday.
An awful lecture on a fascinating topic.
