So true

[@bloopnation]

Thank you for posting these videos! There was a similar show where they went back in time to work like this, but there was also a Lordship and Ladyship. And the only thing I can remember about that show was when the show was about over the Ladyship started crying about it being over and how she enjoyed having everything done for her and one of the maids thinking it was rude that, back in time, the maids had to turn to the wall when the Lord or Lady came near them. Anyone remember that show?????

Or a "lower class" like on novels that the "lower class of novels" living conditions arent bad and they live an amazing life and that they would have an aesthetic life, and they imagine that a Handsome prince (or a princess) fell in love with them and they end on a castle being happy af

@Cole Czecho um I've been poor a loooong time and it involves selling items so I can eat. You do realize there is actual poverty still in the west? People are honeless and struggle to afford food and shelter. Clearly you arebt imagining actual poor people in the year 2020 cuz I highly doubt my years of manual labor and struggling to afford food and not being able to afford to see a dr is not how victorian upper class lived.

You seem to forget there was a Middle Class as well, at least in the USA anyway. So that Middle Class? Machinists and other skilled tradesmen.

Try to keep your sanity while you are practically trapped in your home with your very annoying "family members", but every time you are near them, you have to stay 6 feet away and wear a mask or they are "eliminated" because you are "infected", so every time you see them, you have to worry about hospitalizing and possibly killing them by accident. Oh, and you have to strategically place clean objects (face towels, etc.) around so they don't touch the objects contaminated with COVID and wash your hands almost every hour and don't touch your eyes or nose... And every time you receive mail, you have to figure out how to avoid spreading the germs from that around your house. You also have to ration all your disinfecting supplies, soap, and toilet paper for that month because there's no more. Bonus round: you have kids, so you have to disinfect everything before they touch it because kids touch everything then touch their eyes and pick their noses 24/7.

But I am lazy with the work, then I only work hard when being watched and don't check the quality of the work at the end...I let a small task last longer than it should and , like with a large task, 'corners are cut '(like when the team deceptively filled up the barrels)!

this show makes me appreciate that at least somewhere in time the life i live now is one of upper class: running water, bathroom facilities, plenty of food, a roof over my head, clean clothes, etc.

[@SoulDevoured]

Just being homeless in America is better than being a worker in Victorian Europe. In America there's thousands of dumpsters to dive and public restrooms to wash up in. Only trade-off is anything you find has no value to anyone but desperate you.

[@joonprint]

@@SoulDevoured true

[@TheTruthHurts6666]

@@SoulDevoured no dumpster diving is needed when the government gives you $192 per person for food for free if you're unemployed. And shelters and food banks can provide a box full of groceries for free. Sometimes a different perspective is all everyone needs to appreciate what they have.

[@SoulDevoured]

@@TheTruthHurts6666 I got like $50 a month for food when I was homeless. There's a lot in between unemployed and unemployed. I imagine it's been a bit better with coronavirus relief funds but it's also probably been alot harder to get clean or cool off with so many businesses closed. There's also great charities. A dental charity saved my teeth from a gnarly case of gingivitis. Food stamps didn't cover toothpaste. I imagine the pandemic has effected those too.

"I don't think I could take care of myself, I need everyone" And that's how people survived back then

[@Glorfinniel]

I completely understand why my great great great-grandparents in England boarded a overcrowded ship to set sail for months across the Atlantic ocean to the New World to take their chances for a better life. Glad to say they succeeded by starting their own business.

lol seriously he basically went around announcing he had buttons. I'd sell them to someone descreetly and then you'd have money and wouldn't look so sketchy.

[@geraldinesera8915]

It is obvious why people died so young, infant mortality was so atrocious, and we should each be more grateful for the people who were our ancestors. I do genealogy and have read an ancestors will, he left a gooseberry bush to a family member. This was a great reality and awareness video.

One of my ancestors in the 1700s left the bed linens to his daughter. Every possession was necessary and precious.

[@woahyeah8800]

He literally got caught? He would’ve done not that well

He would have been beaten, his hand possibly cut off and sent away to work in even worse conditions in prison.

It's gotta be so cool to be an extra for this show, visiting all the different eras. As bad as it was in the past, the novelty of being there is still pretty cool.

[@therucha]

Politicians should be forced to do this a few times a year, maybe they would start to think about the people who got low salary

[@therucha]

@LAMAR LAWRENCE_JR well I work as a nurse and they are important, I shouldn't be needing to think about getting a second job to support myself and my kid, meanwhile 1 communal politician get about 6 times the pay

[@towakin7718]

@@therucha Well, do you really though? Would be the first time I saw someone in the west having to do that, unless the reason was "I live in a terribly expensive city", to which the solution is, move somewhere else...

And film it please. I'd love to see the complete breakdowns.

[@pommiebears]

@@therucha I made great money working as a sterilisation technician in the HSDU. Maybe, you should look into it. If you’re interested. I still felt I was helping people too, by doing a great job, making sure my trays were ALWAYS spotless and pristine. I took real pride in my work. Unfortunately, chronic illness prevented me from continuing. I terribly miss the hospital environment. I really do.

[@Tm_37]

Acting it is cool cuz you know you'll be back in the future in a couple of hours. Being stuck in an era like this is unimaginable. No wonder why banditry was rampant.

[@MIS3RY.]

What we need is a the office styled comedy based in the Victorian era , man that’d be awesome .

[@swain-Ix1tv]

i need someone to make this now lol

[@em-ov7tg]

I really, really want this

[@ComedyLoverGirl]

"The Dustyard"

[@freudulant]

What would be the premise? I mean The Office only works in the time of video cameras because it is a mockumentary, the characters are aware they are being filmed.

[@CorHellekin]

there's a sitcom called ''another time'' that may marginally fit what you're looking for

[@kaleahcollins4567]

THIS IS WHY EUROPE HAD SO MUCH DISEASES. OVER CROWDING AND LIVING IN FILTH

Yup, That's part of why trash or carbages are regulated part of the law too.

[@foxtrot680]

This is what happened when cities were just starting, when a countries population starts moving urban, it’s a very fast process, and there’s not enough time for correct conditions. This has happened to every country and will happen. It’s inevitable
