Now I know why the Mad Hatter (from Batman comics) is called Mad Hatter

[@Vodhr]

I mean... Yes, because he is a directly designed after the Mad Hatter of Alice in Wonderland. So it is less that DC's Mad Hatter was designed to be crazy, inspired by this fact. And more a case of just straight out "copied" the theme of the Mad Hatters in Alice in Wonderland - which probably was designed with this fact in mind.

Mad Hatter Origin Confirmed

[@IARRCSim]

8:15 the refuse disposer role sort of lives on as the poo diver. A poo diver is a person who dives in sewage to unclog pipes, machinery or drain the cesspit. A poo diver is a lot more specialized, better equipped, and better paid than that older position, though. There aren't many poo divers because it is pretty rare for people to need that kind of help dealing with a clogged cesspool.

[@spookygamer1338]

I always like to think about how much medical science is going to change in the future. Some day people are going to be like: "Can you believe they used to use chemo therapy on cancer patients?" "What a barbaric and cruel way to treat cancer."

There are still gong farmers, but now they have trucks, pumps and get payed a lot. I know a guy who left corporate job, bought old Vacuum truck and 10 years later he has over 30 trucks working all over the east side of my home country and he makes over a million each year. At first he made 3 times more than his corporate management job for less time and by being his own boss - with one truck and working by himself.

[@soremuss]

I had an argument with a 24 year old man that told me "the world would be better if everyone could just do the jobs they wanted to do". When i brought up the fact that no one would chose the crappy jobs, like cleaning the sewers, he told me that some people would and that they would do them voluntarily. Ironically when he told me what he would like to do he mentioned something along the lines of being the boss of a business. At that point i just stopped talkig to him.

[@XMehrooz]

That's exactly the kind of person who'd never become the "boss of a business", lmao....

[@TheExigency]

Can you not do the job you want to do..? Who is forcing anyone to do their job?

[@Jack-pz4my]

Give me adequate PPE and a pressure washer and I would do it.

[@TheNwr1]

…..so why do people do those jobs now? If no one wants to do them, they won’t get done regardless of the circumstances, so there must be some reasoning as to how they get done. You haven’t proven any point, you’re just denigrating someone because they don’t agree with you.

I think your description of child chimney sweeps doesn't do what they actually had to go thru justice. I live in Edinburgh, Scotland and know the history of how horrific it was to be/for child chimney sweeps here. Apart from that, great video!

[@iansantiago6526]

It was alredy a pretty harrowing job description, I don't think it can get much worse than "possibly get stuck in the chimney and die of asphyxiation" I'm claustrophobic so that got me sweating alredy😂

[@mandydow5740]

@gavinmann7670 I too am from Edinburgh and surrounding area and believe it or not, we still had a coal fire 25 years ago. (No chimney sweep though!) they swept up the way because coal fires and chimneys are incredibly dirty so it would all come into the rooms if they swept down the way. Hope this is helpful! 🙂

[@joannaedssay5988]
