Community waterways worked way better before plastic waste was around
What a load of bollocks saying that noble people (Or any people in general) build their wells right below their privy/shitters. They knew that filth made people sick and wouldn't build latrines, cesspits, or other waste disposal areas near wells.
They had some effective herbal cures – willow bark tea and ginger are really good.
Why?
To escape life for a few hours?
Because my Fathers did it before me
and his
and their's
and so on…?
Back to times where people valued Beer so much that they brutally killed Beerbrewers who watered down their Beer.
AI slop
And Portugal don’t forget us from southern Europe
Drink tap water! Plastic bottled water causes tons of pollution. Tap water is fine to drink and cause no pollution. Stop being so " precious" you Young people. Your polluting a planet I happen to love! Thinking your doing the healthy trend for YOUR body. Instead of caring about earth😢
So tired of AI videos, at least fix the goddamn issue of repeating the same information 3 times over
The Chinese and Japanese, while familiar with alcoholic beverage, consumed less because they could drink tea, which, as a boiled beverage, was safer than well water.
AI voiceover trash.
This is just lazy AI slop
Why do you say the same thing over and over in different ways….do you think we are stupid….. you're just trying to keep us on your stupid video long you foolish people
Less than 30 seconds in to be fed the nonsense I expected.
Medieval people did not drink alcohol because natural water sources were more likely than not to be riddled with disease. _This is a myth people need to stop spreading._
What you need to do is to post the titles of the movies you get your images from, when telling these stories. So what is the name of the movie clips you used in this episode?
People were kept stupid
This is poorly done AI.
