1:55 the sound effects are killing me 😂
I don't know. If a woman smelled bad, imagine the men. Imagine working with men in construction or on a boat. I bet the body order of a woman would be a breath of fresh air back then. Also, as a man, I can build a tolerance to my bad smell, and if I associate a smell with the body odor of someone I loved or cared about would not be as bad as just stench. Smell is so much more involved than just good vs bad.
gross. so gross.
regardless of its pornographic nature that dress would be far superior hygienically, practically and financially
the kiss is a tradition in Italy

Shoking
Napoleon was so smart, he sold the entire Louisiana Purchace so he can fight Russia and lose.

stop talking about everything, i relax when i watch this video. i like your voice. and the knowledge is also interesting
George Washington used ammonia to keep his teeth white. It kept teeth white by stripping a layer off of them. This practice eventually destroys the teeth and was the reason he had to have false teeth – with a lead palate, no less.
So pretty much the same as modern France, then.
To be honest, the thumbnail of the woman, I thought to myself, sexy. And when I listen to the first part of the video, I went in my mind, can we bring this back?
I was eating. Now I'm not hungry
I think I would keep pretending or find some way to get the gelloutine, and save myself the trouble. Sheesh.
Is this even real
France was and still the capital of s:::t
Nasty. Not much has changed unfortunately
Man as modern day guy i'd probably commit suicide seeing this if i were sent to the past.
