superkret@feddit.orgto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL ancient Romans used communal toilets—stone benches with keyhole-shaped holes—where people sat side by side without privacy, chatting while waste drained beneath them using flowing water.English0·2 months agoAfaik there’s an original source that makes fun of a guy who hung out on the toilet all day, hoping to strike up a conversation that’ll get him invited to dinner.
That would imply it was a social thing.
superkret@feddit.orgto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL ancient Romans used communal toilets—stone benches with keyhole-shaped holes—where people sat side by side without privacy, chatting while waste drained beneath them using flowing water.English0·2 months agoCurrent research doesn’t support that.
Most likely, the sponge sticks were used as a toilet brush, and pieces of cloth were used to wipe.

Those admins you say are hurting lemmy are literally the developers who made it.
Also, fuck growth. It’s the cancer that drives enshittyfication and destroys our planet.
English insults are like “How’s your day, love?” and the other lad is positively miffed on account of how you pronounced it.

Ja, aber das Hurragebrüll war schon auch ziemlich laut die letzten Jahre.
Wenn du heute Bärlauch gesammelt hast und er noch nicht in voller Blüte stand, dann war das kein Bärlauch!

Be careful with those greentexts.
Now that the source has run out, they’re irreplaceable artifacts.

superkret@feddit.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some of the craziest censorship instances on TV shows you have seen?1·3 months agoThe version of From Dusk Till Dawn that aired on German TV with age 16+ rating was half an hour shorter and was cut so badly, it hardly even made sense anymore.
It’s basically just a couple of dude(tte)s going to a gas station, then walking into a bar and starting to shoot at nothing for no reason.
superkret@feddit.orgOPto Off My Chest@lemmy.world•I kinda feel like…I’m mourning for the USA?English0·3 months agoI know they were a bit misleading, but the only reason for that is: I couldn’t find actual numbers for GOP membership after 15 minutes of searching.
My point still stands: It doesn’t require support from a majority of the population for a country to become fascist.
And currently, there is enough support to turn the US into a fascist country.
superkret@feddit.orgOPto Off My Chest@lemmy.world•I kinda feel like…I’m mourning for the USA?English0·3 months agoThere’s only about 11.1% registered Republicans
Which is more than 10% at the height of Nazi Germany, when party membership was required for many career paths
22.6% of the population voted Republican
In the last elections in Germany 1933, 26.4% of the population voted for the Nazi party.
And that was with armed SA thugs at the entrances to the voting booths.
superkret@feddit.orgOPto Off My Chest@lemmy.world•I kinda feel like…I’m mourning for the USA?English0·3 months agoThanks. I know. But it doesn’t really help until something concrete actually develops from that hate.
Fun fact: At its absolute height, in 1945, 10% of Germans were members of the nazi party NSDAP.
That was enough to correctly label the entire country as “Nazi Germany”.In 2025, 45% of Americans support the Republican Party in anonymous polls. Draw your conclusions.
