@helen_christie: the Versailles bathroom situation was rough 💩 Nobles were just p00ped in all sorts of places around the palace hoping nobody would notice 😩😅🇫🇷🏰⚜️👑#horriblehistories #versailles #comedy #skit #frenchrevolution

antoinette | MA law student :

And they thought Marie Antoinette was weird for bathing so much

🐴🐱 Sully 💍📖 :

That’s still better than the bathrooms at Versailles now! Literally the worst bathroom I’ve ever been in - literally threw up from the smell 😳

Vyskara :

the fact that this is historically accurate. is killing me.

Hello Lover Lamb 💋 :

You’re telling me we could build pyramids but not a toilet?

Terry Geo :

Really??? 😲 Checking Google... "it was not uncommon for people to relieve themselves in corridors, stairwells, and even gardens. This led to a pervasive foul odor throughout the palace, which was frequently commented on by visitors." Yuck!

🪐✨𝐾𝑎𝑖𝑡𝑙𝑦𝑛𝑛✨🪐 :

Can someone fact check this 😭

rags2canvas :

and they called the rest of the world savages 😂

Cordula :

wasn't this a lie spread to make the monarchy look (even more) vile?

♪·¯♫¸ 𝓐𝓷𝓰𝓮𝓵𝓲𝓬𝓪𝓵¸♫¯·♪ :

They had chamber pots

DickCheeseCharcuterieBoard :

This isn’t entirely true tho, versailled had toilets just not a whole lot of them and relieving yourself on the floor was still super frowned upon, most people peed in chamberpots which could be carried around too, and the cases of people just people in corners are the exception not the norm..

Anjana Lahiru :

Well they definitely heard THAT 🙄

HERL :

Thanks God, I was not born in that era.

Brutus :

Bro I’m dead💀😭 (biologically speaking I am, in fact, alive. However, to emphasize how hilarious I found this, I made a hyperbolic statement saying that I was dead because it implies that I found this video so funny I ceased to live. However, I am indeed alive and well so there is no need for you all to worry. I was simply employing the tactics c of figurative language in order to better and more effectively communicate my message. Additionally, using slang and sayings commonly employed by the youth has made my message more understandable and reachable by the younger generation, many of whom are in this chat. For example, I could have said "that video was a real knee slapper". This would have made sense to some of the older people in this chat as knee slapping used to be a sign of hilarity. However, in this digital age in which we now live, knee slapping is not as common and many of today's youth may not understand the reference. I therefore made my message more understandable to younger people through my use of simple, easily understood slang. I hope this clears everything up, and I appreciate any concern that I was actually dead. I can assure you I am alive and well.)

14prettypretty :

Thank god I’m Arab

shellyvandyke123 :

I don't understand why they wouldn't build a bathroom in this place. what was the reason for not building something that was definitely needed?

Nikki Martini :

You mean… they’d do it in chamber pots right ? RIGHT?

Amelia :

He was SHOCKED 😭

midnightlady :

ilkurgum :
