Yeah, especially that "wizards used to poop on the floor" thing

I don't understand the outcry over this, the best part of history at school was learning about Roman toilets, Victorian toilets and about George II (who died on the toilet.) Kids love poop stuff, it's hilarious and British history does like to talk about toilets xD

It's stupid because of the whole recentness. It really feeds into the "wizards are stupid and backwards"

I mean...as a Discworld fan, they kinda are.

The relieving yourself where you stood thing was a real historical thing, wasn't it? I'm sure I read accounts of the ladies of the court reeking of piss because they'd just go where they were and someone would clean it up.

I definitely know that there was always a chamber pot in the billiard room of grand houses so that the men didn't have to interrupt their game.

There's historical context to it. People did just shit & piss everywhere.

“Feces and urine were everywhere,” Eleanor Herman, author of The Royal Art of Poison, says of royal palaces. “Some courtiers didn't bother to look for a chamber pot but just dropped their britches and did their business—all of their business—in the staircase, the hallway, or the fireplace."

From the same article:

Despite its reputation for magnificence, life at Versailles, for both royals and servants, was no cleaner than the slum-like conditions in many European cities at the time. Women pulled up their skirts up to pee where they stood, while some men urinated off the balustrade in the middle of the royal chapel.
