Pompeii?
Poop spoons? What am I looking at here?
Nice shitting arrangement
Truly we live in the best time. Indoor plumbing, privacy. So we have to give up our basic rights and freedoms, and live in a world ruled by profit hungry corporations who watch and hear everything we do, all the time.
At least I don’t have to shit in a communal toilet.
And WHAT THE FUCK are they holding in their hands? Is it a poo spoon to clean out the crack?
I would rather go out into the desert and receive a snake bite to the asshole than partake in this debacle.
Shits and giggles?
I wash myself with a rag on a stick
It was still going on in the 20th century.

The origin of pooper scooper.
Poop Spoon! Great band.
I seriously doubt that strangers would sit side-by-side like that. There had to be something close to modern urinal etiquette going on.
I have to wonder why those men are are holding spoons ? Is there desert after the performance art ?
Shitting with the BOYS
The boys on the left broke the unwritten rule of sitting next to eachother.💀
These exist today on some US military bases. Parris Island rifle range.
I love the graffiti in the rendering. Details matter.
I’d rather use the three sea shells.
Need to bring back pooping with friends.
Man, rusty trombones must have been so unhygienic back then. Golly!
Don’t ask the untold rule of not sitting right beside the other person shitting in peace.
JUST listened to podcast about history of toilets last night. Dudes would meet daily for a group poop, a chat and do business too.
Ahhh the old Wrigley Field bathroom.
Nothing like a good ol’ game of BattleShits!
We’d probably better off as a society if we had to look each other in the eye while shitting. We’re so disconnected.
This is my nightmare. The idea of pooping in front of another person gives me acute panic.
Maybe there were dividers made of wood or cloth that are now gone. I hope.
They more than likely couldn’t read and didn’t have smartphones for entertainment. So casual crapper conversation was probably a must.
One of those gents on the left knows nothing about public washroom etiquette.
You never take the hole next to another guy when there are options. Us urinal veterans know this.
To anyone who fantasizes about time travel while watching almost any show involving going to the past. In most shows, everyone looks pretty clean and things look nice.
I am thinking EVERYTHING WOULD SMELL LIKE SHIT. People dumping their chamber pots out the window, animals everywhere crapping in the street, nobody really bathed and everyone probably reeked of stale B.O.
I bet it would be just like Burning Man!
The crapatorium
They had poop spoons?
You have to understand the context behind this photo.
A toilet like this, was in place 2000 year ago, in the city of Rome. To them, with titanic public baths, with flowing hot water, and games where they saw actual human death, something minor like sharing a public toilet, probably didn’t raise too many concerns.
You also need to understand the massive technological infrastructure that allows that photo to happen. In the city of Rome, you could stand in any one spot in the city, and be within 50m of a running water fountain. These cities had massive and sophisticated systems for plumbing. The aqueducts alone supplied over **200 million gallons** of clean drinking water **each day** to Rome. It was so sophisticated that they had public officials who would fine people for tapping into the public water supply without a permit, something that sounds like only a modern problem.
Yeah, to modern western society this seems gross, but keep in mind, London literally tossed their shit out of the windows, onto the streets. Because they had less sophisticated plumbing than a society 2000 years ago. A society’s who’s plumbing was so advanced, it was still in use.
Sorry, I just wish more people understood how fantastically advanced some ancient societies were.
