What were those 18th century retards thinking?

We have come extremely far in the last couple centuries.

>Doctors did not routinely wash their hands until the mid-1800s, and they would proceed straight from dissecting a corpse to delivering a baby, providing the basis for the spread of puerperal fever.
>>

Checked.
Also imagine some rotter coming at your vag with hands smelling like the bazinga of death itself to slap your babby on the back.
I suppose that tracks with people emptying their bedchamber out the windowframe onto the street.

Sailors were coom-brained. In Moby DICK there is a lot of homo-erotic subtext. They couldn't help but think about cum and dicks.
>>

>What were those 18th century retards thinking?
Hehehe, it looks like cum and ladies smear in on their face.

English (and other European languages) used to be a lot less literal and a lot more allegorical and allusional in every day use, except for the very lowest class of people. This was to demonstrate common cultural/educational background for in group signaling. This was one of the reasons why education in the classics was so important, if you lacked that background, it was like trying to speak to the Tamarians if you weren’t from a similar religious and educational background.
Modern literalists lack this background and think themselves smarter than their ancestors because the past sounds like gobbledygook to them.

Cutting hair and medicine used to be the same field. Not even that long ago. They also pretty much just drew blood as an answer for everything.

What is the point of the white spots on an orca? Like I get the dark top/light underside aspect of camouflage but literally what fucking purpose exists for something looking like a giant eyeball next to the actual eyeballs? Does it help catch light or something like an inverted equivalent of black paint under a football players eyes or what?

Speaking of Australian paradoxes,
>there existed a Roman/European saying how finding a black swan would undo all logic
>Dutchmen find black swans in Australia in 1697
>so BTFO that the saying is rewritten about how impossibilities can be disproven
>>
>>4771818
I think the current theory is that it's supposed to be a fake eye spot so when they hunt something with claws and teeth like a seal they can't scratch their eyes out.

Orcas are awful monsters and get bullied by chad sperm whales

Idfk. You'd think with all the corpses avaliable they could just check.

>>4771950
This is how everyone thought they figured it out.

>the idea that there was direct connection from the nervous system, from the brain through the spinal cord, to the penis, perhaps so that an essential component of the male seed, presumably originating in the brain, could be transmitted during intercourse. These ideas were not only common in the West, they were also widely held in East Asia. The ancient Chinese sex manuals frequently referred to the origin of semen7 and in many cases referred specifically to the nervous system as the route by which the transmission of the relevant characteristics of semen was achieved. This idea was also important to the ancient Taoists because they also believed that it was beneficial to a man to preserve his semen and return it to the brain.

The Greek anatomist Galen also though semen originated in the brain and traveled down the spinal cord.

in Italian it's called oilhead(capodoglio) so it's more of an anglo thing

Retaining semen by not jerking off gives you superpowers.

No they don’t. We still have instances of Orcas preying on sperm whales, though they generally prefer to leave each other alone

It's wild to think that there was once a point in history where the most economical way of gathering oil was to just sail out on a boat and crack open whales
>>
>>4771140
In other languages it makes more sense, as translated it's called "big head" or "oil head"
>>
>>4771944
That's just male sperm whales that they avoid. They often hunt females and calves.

Also maybe look in the mirror once in a while? There's nothing any orca has ever done that's worse than what the human species has done to this planet. Last I checked orcas don't shit out pollution everywhere and enslave humans like we do them at SeaWorld.
>>
>>4772173
No Reddit hates cetaceans in general it doesn't matter what species. Even on subs dedicated to whales and dolphins they still get hated on there.
>>
I thought it was named that because it had a shape similar to a sperm cell

Most cities would fine people if they emptied their chamber pots in the street. London slums were an exception for a short time just because of law enforcement issues. Then they built the sewer system.

That just makes us based and makes them cucked.
>>
>>4773192
I'm sure if they could build tools like we do they'd lock some humans up in an amusement park for fun and out of spite.

It's Reddit. Tell me something that isn't wrong with those losers.

Seriously who could hate this smug yet adorable face? Redditfags, that's who.
>>
>>4771419
Actually mortality was lower with birth helped by midwives than with doctors at that time, this was because doctors were often haughty and didnt believe they needed to wash their hands.
>>
>>4771974
I higly doubt you don't have any words at all linking whale oil to semen
What do you call candle wax?
In spanish we call it esperma(sperm)
