    Look man, if it was up to me, every single title to every video on Youtube would have lots of amazing profanity. But they've got arbitrary rules on what I can and can't put there, so enjoy your free asterisk.
  • Imagine making a joke so good that you made someone laugh 2000 years later
  • Reminds me of this cave art somewhere in Europe, the writings were 20ft up on a wall. When they actually got up there to translate it, all it said was: “This is very high.”

    They weren’t shitposting everywhere. They were shitting everywhere.

    "If anyone does not believe in Venus, they should gaze at my girfriend" This man doesn't fear to declare that waifus are real and proud to have one for himself. Absolute chad.

    I love how bathroom grafitti is the most human way to tie us to our ancestors

    "Weep, you girls. My penis has given you up. Now it penetrates men's behinds. Goodbye, wondrous femininity." I think this is my new favorite Roman quote.
  • These and Japanese/Chinese poems/letters about how weird their pet cats were are the best. I still love the painting of an armoured walking his pet cat.
  • The funniest thing about that bread quote: That quote outlived the autobiography of a roman emperor.

    I genuinely love this kind of "people were always people" historical minutiae
  • @SuperSimputer
    I love how all of them are about shitting or sex, except the one with two bros just hanging out, which could very well still be about shitting or sex

    For some reason this reminded me of how the Yucatan peninsula was named. When the Spaniards arrived at the Yucatan peninsula they asked the natives there what the name of their land was. The natives replied in their language “I don't know what you're saying” and the Spaniards took it as one word and now the name of that place is the "Yucatan peninsula"

    "I made bread" is the Roman equivalent of meal pics on Facebook.

    Imagine the mountain exploding one day and having your deepest desires uncovered like 2000 years later

    Human comedy has not changed in the slightest. Some Roman lead sling bullets excavated from battlefields have had messages such as "ouch" "crack your teeth" "catch" and "attack Pompeii's arsehole" engraved onto them

    The fact that Secundus had to clarify three times that it was the spot where he defecated, like an animal marking his own territory, never ceases to make me laugh.
  • @Anime-Control
    I’ve got to wonder if that baking bread one was a Latin euphemism lost to time, or if that guy was just really excited about making his bread

    i love stuff like this because it shows how even though they were alive thousands of years ago, had completely different culture and spoke an entirely different language, they still had a sense of humor
