[@Aivottaja]

Biphasic sleep wasn't that odd. Gives you more time to do stuff and encourage lucid dreams. This whole "wake up at 7am and go to bed at 11-12pm" thing is a result of factory shift schedules and later amplified by abundant artificial lighting.

[@Sara11614]

I already do this sometimes. Didn't know it was a thing. I just thought I was lazy because I would get so sleepy when the sun went down. Then I would get a little nap and be away until 1 or 2am before feeling sleepy enough to fall asleep again.

Also, when one of my children had colic, a cousin of my then husband told me to buy "paragoric" from the drugstore. I asked the pharmacist for some. He immediately asked me again what did I want. I told him the story and said the cousin told me to ask him for paragoric. He laughed and said that was an old remedy used for teething and colic that was made out of liquid HERON...

It's not 50-60 years since smoking was permitted on planes. Most countries started banning it middle to late 1980's. Here in Norway, the first anti-smoke regulation/law, was introduced July 1st, |986, which for example banned smoking inside theatres, but not in their lobbies.

I remember when smoking was allowed on airplanes, and when you bought your ticket they would ask, "Smoking or non-smoking?" What's the difference? You're trapped in a big metal tube with a bunch of smokers...every seat is "smoking."

[@JoeKaye-hn5dt]

They went through a phase where smokers sat in the back, and there were often a couple empty rows in between.

[@As_Arturas]

I have this neighbor, he is 84 years old. When i go for a smoke, our balconies are next to each other, he always sits there and tells me "jokes".

I knew a town kid who hired on as a corn detasseler on our crew one summer. He needed to poo and went off into a small grove of trees to do his doo. When finished he realized there was no toilet paper (of course) so he grabbed some nearby leaves of a plant and wiped. Hours later he was in the ER with the worst case of poison ivy the doctor had said to his mother, that he had ever seen.

[@katrinal353]

Basically exactly what we teach kids not to do with deodorant. lol

[@promontorium]

This is true but it wasn't for all time. It was during a period of hyper Christianity. Where they promoted an idea that bathing was sinful.

[@asphodelale]

Promontorium Not so much bathing, as indulging the body in any form, though monasteries had bathing facilities and promoted good hygene. Frankly, I think it's more that almost nobody had access to plumbing of any sort. When taking a bath means hauling out a wooden tub that weighs 15kg or more, heating up pots upon pots of hot water (when many may have owned only one, if that), hauling in even more cold water, then emptying the tub bucket by bucket, it's easy to see why bathing was infrequent. And that's not even getting into the expense, danger, and time-consumption that is the making of home-made soap. (Any task where you have to make and use your own lye is something I'm happy to opt out of.)

[@eeaotly]

promontorium Some "Christian" ideas and preconceptions will always perplex me... I mean, in this case, for example, how can cleaness be sinful?! After all, body hygiene is the physical reflection of the spiritual purity we all aspire to.

[@zackp8201]

1) Smoking was legally banned on all flights in the USA in 2001. Most airlines allowed smoking well into the late 1990s, first banning it on the shortest flights first, adding longer domestic flights later and finally long haul international flights. Pilots were permitted to smoke well passed the legal bans since it was believed it could be dangerous to their performance. 2) Codeine is still the most common prescription cough medicine.

[@a_i_a_m_n_1995]

zack p Codeine is actually prescribed to kids after even minor surgical/non surgical procedures 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@PlumGurly]

I remember when you didn't need a prescription for codeine. You did have to sign a log. Then at some point, I guess all the government expense of checking the logs and dealing with the misuse got to be a bit much, and they just made it prescription only.

My body likes a bi-phasic sleep pattern. If I give in to my body and go to sleep early, I will go to sleep at 8pm and wake again at around midnight to 1am, back up for a couple of hours and then back to sleep until morning. But I also have insomnia, maybe I should give in and just become a bi-phasic sleeper.

[@rrommens1]

StephieAck same here.

[@JoeKaye-hn5dt]

I've read that. My sleep often goes bi-phasic for a couple weeks right after DST ends in November. My 2PM nap morphs into a 7PM nap, I wake at 12 or so, and don't go back to bed until around 4 or 5. I hate it.

[@TheMurlocKeeper]

Hey! I do that too! I figured that I just had insomnia (ok, sometimes I do), but often I will try to go to bed at a halfway decent hour, only to wake at midnight, watch some dribble on KZbin for 2-3 hrs, then go back to sleep again. I don't even fight it anymore. I just roll with it. :D

[@AmbrosiaK]

[@zackp8201]

you are correct, smoking was legally banned on all flights in 2001. most airlines banned it throughout the previous decade, with first ever ban in 87 i think. Fun fact, it was only banned on short haul flights, then longer domestic flights were added and finally long haul international flights were last. Also, pilots were allowed to smoke well passed the bans because airlines were worried it would affect their concentration and ability to fly.

[@malbers35]

I last smoked on a flight in 93.

[@pauljohnston718]

I remember flying Feb 17 1990 on the last smoking flight from California to Hawaii. Foreign carriers to the US banned later I think 1995, I was told the last commercial flight to ban was Air Cubana in about 2005.

[@CheekyThrill]

People still use water and cloth to clean themselves after using the toilet, and it's actually the most hygienic way to get the job done.

[@rosamariashare6922]

The one about Isabelle I of Spain is totally wrong. She bathed quite a lot, so much it got her in trouble with her confessors that would tell her off for taking excessive care of herself.

[@JL-iu7fk]

Yaiza Sab WTH do you mean "her confessors"

[@yaizasabke5683]

She took too much care of herself and her father confessors(Talavera & Cisneros) would tell her that she shouldn’t do it too much because it would get her in trouble with God. To be a good wife she was supposed to only take care of her hair, and wash 3 times arms and face everyday. But she full on bathed too often aswell and that wasn’t looked up on to be the right thing to do. She was a very clean queen. Too many rumors going around about her great grandaughter that get mixed up and people think it was actually about Isabel I of Castille when it’s not.

[@nzingabee79]

Lies... She of bathed twice in her life that's documented fact. The whole Spain was nasty until the advent of the African moors stepped in and taught them the necessity of bathing and brushing ones teeth.

[@charliechan6892]

The whole Spain before the advent the African moors were a Roman province, learn a little about them.

[@anaisschutz2653]

Little kids have worn dresses in the past. The mother was looking after them. The kids were considered unisex until the age of 4-8, then the boys would go with their father to learn everything you need to know to be a knight. The girls would stay with their mother and learn sewing, and help in the household.

[@adri0926]

Anaïs Schutz Great explanation 👍👍

[@JoeKaye-hn5dt]

Heck, my brother and I used to swipe my mom's dresses from the laundry basket put them on and play tea party. (None of us 4 boys ever married btw).

[@SselluosS]

What dads is..even back then and wearing dresses as children..they still grew up to be 10x the men the current generations men are.

One of the reasons they dressed all their young children the same was that there was a much higher death rate for children. Clothes were expensive. Unisex hand-me-downs were more practical.

#8 this is called the four humours, blood (blood letting), yellow bile (purging), black bile (use laxatives) and phlegm (hot room), *the parts in brackets are to show how they cured/ balanced the four humours* . If you humours were out of balance you would be sick.

[@zahrasz6875]

Excuse me? I live in iran and it is not allowed to smoke on planes...

[@dawnadawn]

No smoking on planes but you still bring explosives on planes, on flights to USA.

[@Video-Games-Are-Fun]

i thought people in iran had no internet? your ayotollah guy controls your lives doesn't he?

Allah forgive me my ignorance

[@gijo5088]

Give me a break, so is it illegal to smoke camels on a camel?

[@Pharaoh5611]

Steve Benenati Hahaha idealistic Europeans think every middle eastern country is the same.

[@DivOb]

Actually iran banned smoking in flights

[@tonyafoodfamilyfriendsandf8192]

the radium water was crazy!!!

[@mal35m]

Tonya Pedraza The radioactive water gets my vote for most crazy.

[@erikhorvath4297]

Why the heck did these people drink radioactive water seriously??

[@lawbringer87]

In 100 years, our current use of disposable plastic will be on this list. We're inherently unable to control technology as a whole.

[@tonyafoodfamilyfriendsandf8192]

Luke Wyatt I totally agree!!! plastic maybe really convenient, but absolutely invasive, although manmade

[@snatchadams69]

He'd still be alive if he'd only drank more radium water...

How about using "Seashells" like Sylvester Stalone 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I've never really understood the 3 seashells system.... I just imagine those sharp, scalloped edges and think, no...no thank you.!!!

[@jttekton]

Uhh.....When did our Host in did video speak German?Now how did he even speak German thats stuff is hard....

[@Encourageable]

Jesus Terrazas Do you even English?

[@nismojdm5950]

English please?

[@RandyKalff]

I'm Dutch and speak two languages fluent. (Dutch and English) I'm currently learning German specifically because it's easy. (Thanks to Dutch being similar) And I can tell you that it's easy once you get the hang of it. Just remember that it's very different from English and thus you should remember some key words. You may also want to know that what he said was basic German. He just said it quickly.

[@ironsfan1237]

Jesus Terrazas I'm English born and have learnt fluent German and it's really not that hard :)

[@RandyKalff]

+Natewatl There is quite some overlap indeed but I didn't notice that much overlap. And I missed that one.

Did you know that there was an era when people were very self obsessed and superficial and loved taking pictures of themselves and showing everyone? Craaaaaazy.

the bathing machine was pretty smart actually

[@frankiemarquez877]

Hip Ngan we still have them , there called showers 😂

[@logothaironsides2942]

They were really for the rich, poor people were far less shy and would just swim anyway if they had the time and the opportunity.

[@SweetMelodyP]

Who doesn't know how to use the 3 seashells?

[@SweetMelodyP]

You've never seen Demolition Man?

[@SweetMelodyP]

In Demolition Man, Stallone goes to the bathroom. Comes out and says "you're out of toilet paper." The people look at each other and ask "What's toilet paper?" Stallone explains that where the toilet paper is supposed to be there is a shelf with 3 seashells on it." Another character says, "He doesn't know how to use the 3 seashells!" and no one explains how to use them! So its an ongoing thing... How do you use the 3 seashells.

[@SweetMelodyP]

One question though, Who polishes their bum? Seriously people have been trying to figure this one out since the movie came out. Sandra Bullock who played in it was asked before and she couldn't give an answer.

[@warvandal3443]

Ken Hudson could also use a starfish?

[@davenwatts8173]

Melody Paige *@#$,$#@*,&$#@", so much for the 3 seashells

[@mrdarky3377]

To be fair, using a piece of paper to pipe the fecal matter isn't a very sound idea either...

[@thexalosx5865]

Well, in the future we use 3 seashells as toilet paper!

[@ivy7922]

TheXalos X LOL! I was actually thinking about "Demolition Man" when he mentioned the stones!!!

[@thisisajang]

[@bettyrussell4696]

Karrie rose, Post mordem pictures are most definitely real. When my eldest niece lost her third child, the nurse dressed her baby boy and took his pictures . They even took pictures with her and her husband holding him. As well as her in laws , also, took these pictures...... When my eldest niece's daughter lost her son at twenty seven weeks, the nurse dressed her baby boy and took pictures for them . Doesn't matter that some people don't believe these pictures are real. We know that they are wrong......... These pictures, believe it or not are closure for some people They are the only pictures that these parents will ever have of their beautiful Angels.......

[@craftylittlerthings]

Suicide Cloud they all did them in one form or another, but you also have things like binding women’s feet to keep them small. Then the arsenic in the white make up that was used, so if it wasn’t one strange fact it was another!

[@alienjantan]

and emperors drink mercury for immortality.

[@Vohotwikx_Te_Axii_Ayroite]

Killing female infants sure was popular though

[@Jdot2tact]

[@jade5202]

Suicide Cloud did not mention specifically what kind of Asian they are though. Why are you assuming their culture did foot binding, female infanticide and mercury-drinking emperors? Aside from slaving (They had rights and vertical social mobility is possible so its not exactly "slaving") and Piracy, my culture is quite progressive. Women and Third genders hold the same status as men.

Back in the day, if they found a little bit of blood in their underpants, they'd say "Oops. I must've sharded too hard." Apparently, over the years that has progressed into us finding a little bit extra in our underpants and saying, "Yep. I definitely sharted too hard." It's also interesting to see how much the job description for a "knocker upper" has changed over time. Makes me wonder who actually made the first transition. "Well, Sebastion, since you've already knocked on my window and woken me up, you might as well crawl inside and make some babies."

#9 Choppins, remind me of the wooden sandals I wore in Okinawa in the early 70s. They were a wooden board about a quarter to half inch thick, with two wooden blocks p, about inch and a half square, running side to side. One near the front and the other near the back. The fastener was similar to a flip flop, a piece of strong fabric through your big toe and index toe. You kind of rocked while you walked and there was a definite wooden sound as you walked. They took a little getting used to, but most of the populace, especially the working class wore them. I think so the were called " Geta's" not sure if the spelling and I'm not sure if they were indigineous to Okinawa. This was before the became a Prefecture of Japan. That happened 5 May 72
