It is always impressive when something very old is somehow very fitting for our modern world.
Mr. Mason shared this picture, but I tracked down the 1884 issue of the 'Puck' magazine and wanted to show the rest in the series as well.
So check out this thread;
First the full page, not sure if it's readable, but just to give you an idea of how it looked when published and here you can find the full magazine;

Nice to see an online paper that reaches so many people talk about this subject.
But seeing healthy people during the Black Death would have been very normal.
Not everyone looked sick right away or at the same time.
A thread. Image
I think this person describes these kind of ai videos very accurately, brilliant, what a wonderful insight, who is this wonderful lady, oh wait, hang on. Image
Sigh, the "It's not a documentary" excuse is so tiresome.
It's just a slightly less silly sounding way of saying "I couldn't bother to do research", "I don't really care about history" or "Ai do bleep bloop beep boop and its cool and I make money so yay". Image

They've done it again.
The internet is flooded with history themed Ai nonsense and people are loving it.
The History revived page has 600k followers and they're all about posting ai generated history themed rubbish.
Some of it is fun & interesting, but most of it is... well...
Lesson one every child learns: to go potty, you have to partially undress.
Romans didn't know that.
Also the sponge on a stick story is possibly nonsense.
The ghosts of Pompeii roll in their graves.
Check out the nice street lanterns and oh no, the volcano is exploding, let's all run towards the clouds of ash...

The other painting of Jean-Paul Marat's murder is more famous but this one is interesting.
It was painted by Johann Jakob Hauer  (1751–1829).
Let's look at a couple of details. Image
The lady is wearing an awesome hat. Image
Marat looks surprised. Image

Here's Neil DeGrasse Tyson talking about history with Joe Rogan.
Mr. Tyson claims that tallest thing humans built after the pyramids is the Eiffel tower... but is it?

Let's watch & check:
Let's pretend this show did what it should and had someone correcting things being said.
Even a quick google could have stopped millions of people hearing & believing this claim.

Anyway:
Tallest pyramid:
Khufu at Giza c.2570 BC: (originally) 146.7m
Eiffel tower 1889AD: 312m. Image
Image
So we're supposed to believe that it took homo sapiens over 4000 years to be able to built something taller than the pyramids.
For this to be true, no building built between 2570 BC and 1889AD could have been taller than 146.7m.

Lincoln Cathedral, 1310AD, 160m, ish. Image

Isometric sketch of a sauna stove made by master builder Heinrich Schickhardt in connection with the construction of a sauna in Stuttgart in 1616. Above the arches (A) there is space for the stone packing, on which water can be poured from the bathroom onto the stones through the openings (B). However, this stove is without the characteristic half-walls along the side walls, which are found in southern German saunas and in Næstved. After Tuchen 2003, p. 311

Yes I'm doing some random research and this is now a thread of what I find.

Nordic bathhouse, 1555.
Oven in middle, vat with water next to it, pipe bring the water to a basin, chap rinsing twigs for a thrashing, chap drinking from horn while enjoying cupping therapy. Image
Schachtafelen der Gesuntheyt, 1533, you know when nobody bathed...
Lovely image of a bathhouse.

Just so you know, if you see this guy in a video, the odds are high that you're about to be told something iffy.
Dr. Roy Casagranda is all over social media but his research abilities leave a little to be desired.
In short: street sewers were mostly for rain & other liquids, generally not serious icky waste.
They generally didn't throw their human waste out of the windows.
They made sure to keep their wells and water sources as free from pollution as they could.
Cholera wasn't a huge problem in Europe till the 19th century.
They drank lots of water, drank beer because it's more nutritious, tastier & more fun.
The alcohol level was very very low, so they weren't drunk all the time.
Medieval people washed, bathed, used soap, did laundry and tried to smell nice because they were terrified of bad smells.
They wore linen under their woollen clothing so they weren't always itching, also some wool was quite fine and smooth.

Yeah, no, again.
