How much truth is there to the idea that europe was unbearably filthy, and people threw shit outside thier windows regularly? I've heard a few people claim it's slander by jewish historians
>>18099351Until waste water management was centralized by the State, you would literally sell your shit and piss as base chemicals used in many industries.The only folks who'd throw money out in such a manner would be the poor without access to a private manure pit to collect the refuse.
>>18099351Oh yeah, they had modern electric & plumbing in mideveil europe, central heat & air too
>>18099351Europe was Indo-European. What do you expect?
>>18099351No only the rich did that. Most people were too poor to afford toilets so they simply shat into holes dug into the ground.
>>18099387/threadNow watch the street shitting shit eaters ignore that and proceed to cope by making up whatever bullshit makes them feel less inferior.

>>18099351No one was stupid enough to throw their waste out of a window. Shit was incredibly valuable for composting. It was filthy though, but so was every pre-20th century society.
>>18099387thisclotheswashing and bleaching industries didn't just disappear with the Dark Ages, they just weren't taxed directly by the Roman Emperor with an urine tax (VGH)
>>18099351None. It's usually promoted by Africans and South Americans, so they can feel better about themselves while they're actually living in shit.https://x.com/bbbrezenski/status/1981005543540953183
>>18099351The fact is that just because conditions were bad in Europe in the past, it doesn’t mean they were better elsewhere.
>>18099915That's the dumbest thing I've ever read. What do you even mean by "toilets"? Hole in the ground with a cabin on top is a toilet. Not really expensive to build.People had chamber pots so they could shit in the middle of the night without going outside, but that doesn't mean they would threw it out of the window, because:a) they weren't disgusting and didn't want to have shit in front of their houses b) it was illegalAnd rich people had servants who would dispose the shit for them.
>>18099387There were communal cesspools where everyone went and dumped their shit or there was a person that went around and collected it from the shit guild
