    I don’t want to know how much disgusting stuff is in what we use every day.

    Like, we love to eat rotten milk in various forms.

    Or a friend worked at a fish pond. All the fish guts were sold to cosmetics companies. That’s basically what it means when some creme contains “natural fats”.

      Tyler sold his soap to department stores at $20 a bar. Lord knows what they charged. It was beautiful. We were selling rich women their own fat asses back to them.

    Explanation: Despite having a great many features which seem positively modern to our eyes, like public restrooms and clean water supply, other practices of the ancient Romans were less… intuitive to our eyes. Swishing fermented urine, for example, was used as a method of whitening teeth.

    Worst part is, it works, though not nearly as well as any modern methods. It’s the ammonia.

A place to meme about the glorious ROMAN EMPIRE (and Roman Republic, and Roman Kingdom)! Byzantines tolerated! The HRE is not.

RULES:

  1. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, bigotry, etc. The past may be bigoted, but we are not.

  2. Memes must be Rome-related, not just the title. It can be about Rome, or using Roman aesthetics, or both, but the meme itself needs to have Roman themes.

  3. Follow Piefed.social rules.
