Imagine how these smelled after a 5 mile walk on a hot sunny day in the 1700s.

Somewhere tropic...
I think I read somewhere that King Louie the XIV castle still smells stank to this day :skip:
but there were soaps, oils, perfumes and fragrances mostly available to the noblewomen. As to the frequency of their baths, I dunno
The commoners were more shyt out of luck
And you know them pussies were bushy :smugfavre:

If a breh from today traveled back in time the bacteria and viruses he carries in his body would set off a series of plagues that would wipe out LARGE portions of the population.

I'm aware of that, but the breh wouldn't last long either. People back then may have been eating healthier but their shyt wasn't prepared as clean as we do it today.

:leostare: back then clean water was also a problem...let alone clean hot water enough for a bath.

They also took baths in the SAME bath water back then. So a large family of 10 kids or so ALL used the tub one after another. The tub was filthy and so was the water.

...and that's after the fact that they probably took bathes once a week or so.

Add to the fact that soap was a commodity...they didn't hit Cosco and just get a large family 8 pack ... and they didn't have deodorant :why:

that living room musta smelled like warm skunk puzzy back then :francis:
Also I think women bathed last after everybody else in the house. I think it's men, young men, then the women and children. So that water was disgusting by the time women got a chance to bathe.

I think it's either Rome or Greece but they didn't use soap. The rubbed olive oil on their skin then scrapped it off. They we're dirty as fukk for their whole lives.

nikkas would catch a cold and drop dead within a day, and y'all talking bout we were "internally cleaner" back then :laff:
people gave dude hella daps too:aicmon:
Do people understand the reason we started putting chemicals into our food? It's cause food production was so unsanitary that people would rather eat chemical xyz then risk salmonella every time dinner came around. nikkas just making shyt up now:aicmon:
