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.

How about another one of his "lectures".
Yeah, no, again.

Let's review another youtube video by The Infographics Show, yes that lot again... they have 14 million subscribers.
This one is called:
How Did Bubonic Plague (Black Death) Actually End?
It was seen by almost 5 million people...
Can you see the first error already? Image
Yes, of course.
The plague doctor with the bird beak mask wasn't around during the Black Death. Image
Image
Also, the title is already misleading.
The Black Death was a specific outbreak of the bubonic (and pneumonic) plague, so Black Death & Bubonic Plague don't mean the same.
Mixing them up is like saying war in general is the same as the second world war. Image

Found another gem on the Dutch real estate website Funda, but it also made me angry because modern people have done modern stuff to it and somehow that's not a reason to put them in jail apperantly.
Weird.
Anyway, MEDIEVAL house!
Sort of.

So although altered many times, it originally was built in the 14th century.
What do you reckon, are those tiles old?
The ceiling is gorgeous but the decor and that weird glass wall... ew. Image
Gorgeous fireplace, splendid ceiling, horrific kitchen.
When will they ever learn?
Old house = no do modern stuff!
NO.
Bad interior designer, bad owners, no treats. Image

I was asked about this tweet, were these genuine 1970s-1980s adverts for what appears to be date-rape drugs?
Research thread time.

Image
I found several examples online but most of them mention no source, publication date or any other details that make the examples trustworthy, some claim to be from Penthouse.
They do appear genuine though.

This 1942 article was found by @RealDanGill, sadly I can't find the whole issue online so can't read what happens in the story:

One of the many things we think are weird/gross about the middle ages is the idea of people sharing their homes with animals, especially cattle.
But is this true?
Did they really have cows & sheep walking around their living room?
Let's research.
A thread. Image
I regularly hear this being mentioned as just another bit of evidence of how dirty & backwards medieval people were and that it's no wonder they got all those diseases, were covered in filth all the time, etc.
Especially this image is often used, it's nice but is it accurate? Image
Let's first think about it logically and rationally.
Would you like to have animals walking around your home?
Do you think medieval people wouldn't mind the feces & urine splattering on their precious belongings, clothing, bedding, etc? Image
