What Hygiene Was Like During the Industrial Revolution 

Weird History can you do the troubles next pls

RU-vidr. Imagine it, you’d be so far ahead of your time, they’d declare you a witch and have you burned at the stake. *blasted motion pictures*

Weird History Human waste collector.

They all seem pretty nightmarish to me! I'm use to the comforts of the 21st century

I'd say a miner

Whoa.

Omg

How old was he?

@@josehenriquez3274 80's. Back when he was painting on the line, they didnt even use respirators.

Iveta Welborn it makes you appreciate what we have today

These are fun just to hear about the substances they allowed in bygone eras: drugs you have to get in an alley today instead of from a doctor, and those lethal substances crammed into almost every product known-like arsenic.

I highly doubt you’re the only one. I was quite curious. Mary Mallon, anyone?

Nothing strange about it - humans love to read about poor people who had it much, much worse back in the day. It's called, "schadenfreude."

Same!

Luck.

Life always finds a way.

overpopulation? natural selection? 😃 here we go: Covid19🤫

People are so dramatic what strange is how long it took humanity to stop slavery, to become more hygienic, it's almost like they had an agenda. We should be ashamed that it took us to this long

Me too

not seeing how going further back in time is more healthier

That’s a myth. Medieval people bathed regularly n Rivers

Svetlana Kuznetkova unfortunately, many of those rivers were sewers, as that is where all the refuse and waste ended up.

Svetlana Kuznetkova you really think those rivers were clean? Would you wash in a river regularly is you had the chance?

LudicrousKid we’ll some streams are very clean especially before the days of mass pollution

Absolutely shameful. I immediately thought of Flint when I clicked on this video. Please be safe.

Neoasura... I feel u bro (England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿)

I thought Erin brocavich (sorry misspelled) was coming to kick some ass in your area a few years ago ?

I feel bad for Flint. Why don’t they get experts there?

Rob Fowler because our country is in debt, racist and bureaucratically constipated. We can’t mobilize for anything let alone pay out for a solution that won’t give us a instant financial ROI

Amen

I'm from the future! Just wanted to say hi! ...HI!!!

You're time traveling right now. We all are. Into the future.

and our memories 🥀

Jose Partida they are but that means the immune system in body will be weaker

Bold of you to assume climate change won’t take us out by then

#coveryournose #wearamask!

The pandemic is already historic. This year needs to just go away.

That One .....well, you may be right. I don’t see this really stopping for some time.

Willy Wonka Unfortunately the Roman upper class had lead pipes to supply their homes and saunas with water. However, even going slowly mad seems more appealing than the wretched grind of the Victorian working poor.

@@lauraeden6224 I too would rather die slowly than die quickly.

@Mikko they had

@@lauraeden6224 slowly mad. ancient rome was an incredibly violent society. crime was high AF too.. Unfortunately, Rome is not a place you would have wanted to live in. People in third world conditions today live better than your average ancient roman. let's get that out the way.

@@lauraeden6224 the lead pipes weren't that dangerous. But people would regularly tap into those pipes to steal water. This brought a lot of lead into the water.

Mr. Chopsticks nicotine was also considered “medicine” for a long time...

Back then they didn't know how dangerous smoking was.. they actually considered it to be healthy for some reason and nicotine was actually used and considered medication for years and years..

While we smoke can we stand near a ore smelter and open pour it down by our leather boots? To make skin rebar?

Joe R M heroin was too

Biscuit Gidoni Thats because back then smoking was entirely different, as the same with food and medicine

Probably hard work in the country-side and posh gatherings in the cities.

I second this suggestion!

Urbanisation hadn’t really yet begun so it was mainly agricultural land and peasants who worked on said lands owned by merchants and the rich. They tended to inherit their lands through different land systems (depending on the country) and often were powerful because many couldn’t vote without land. Urbanisation begun around the 1800s but didn’t really take off until 1850s onwards in Europe so the factories although unsafe didn’t have as high mortality rates as mechanisation hadn’t really happened which led to the deadly conditions. It was mainly farms, mills, etc in the US and UK before the 1800. Hope this helped I studied this time period lol!

Peepeepoopoo’s Peepeepoopoo i can’t take the reply as seriously with that name!!

Ceese Chake Peepeepoopoos have an education as well! 🤣

Yep. Same. Usually, I just force a groan or a smirk but that one was a hard exhale of air through the nostrils.

Me too!!!

That's not a pun.

Iv never come into the comment section of weird history mainly because I just watch it on my phone... but I had to check for that Bud Light Lime comment LMAO

Definitely a 5 star pun.

Hehe John Snow

That was the one that made me chuckle

You know nothing John Snow! Man that was a good GoT reference

Anyone else automatically go to "Game of Thrones" and get confused on this comment? Or, am I in this boat alone...

The perfect 👌 reference

not according to far left demacraps that’s luxury living 👍💀🤡💩

Ah, so that's what it's like in most Republican homes... it's no wonder you all want to escape and can't manage basic quarantine. Neither could I if my home was filled with such refuse.

@@HighPriestFuneral you give stupid new meaning….🤨🤔🙄

@@maryeverling8238 Tit for tat, as they say.

@@HighPriestFuneral Wah

Women flawless victory is mine lol

Lice Coachella..I literally had to stop drinking my tea for fear of choking on it.

Dont forget the comparison of the sewage/garbage river water to bud light lime.....

Arsenic and sriracha 👍

"Syphilis saw its opportunity to Live its Best Life…" Made me actually snort!

Cool I live near there

I’m from Boston (Brighton) and remember school field trips to the Lowell mills because the stories of workers treatment and injuries. The stories of what happened to child workers terrified me as a kid

Oh wow how interesting! I’d love to visit MA and learn all about your history. Those factory’s were SO brutal!! It’s so sad some people had no other options!

@@cactusblossom1911 My ex Wives Grandfather had fingers missing from his time in the mills, so I know they are true first hand.

Damn. Youre a cool teacher. Wish i had one. Ahaha.

@@vince_c ikr, keep up the good work!

Same, it keeps you totally engaged and u learn. As a history major I wish my classes were this good

the john snow joke took me by surprise. lol. so subtle

I loved the Mortal Kombat reference.

No. Its actually cringe.

@Calvin Peters as a test to see my upload quality straight from phone..

That’s because they had standards of appearance in those days and respectability was the norm.

Yes I always have the same thought😂

Vivid-19 😂😂

It's not just the US, a lot of Western Europe is screwed, Russia is having a huge crisis, no one knows what actually happened in China

@@katiephillips9969 The United States the most powerful first country, has no problems spending hundreds of billions for war and paying the costs of war at the tune of $trillions, but can't get it's domestic crap together because this administration and Congress (not all) seem more interested in prolonging the effect of Covid-19. Incidentally the 1% billionaire establishment are $600 billion richer in 2020 while Americans are obviously struggling more financially and work wise.

@@katiephillips9969 perhaps society in the future will discover why the U.S. government and the 1% establishment's handling of it were grossly inadequate.

In 100 years people will be so brainwashed and consumed on being consumers and not educating themselves

Lincoln Paul lol so you’ve never been to India or China huh?

Other cultures still shit in the street today. Another anti white racist. Next please

Also Europeans invented the sewer systems etc. Think Greeks and Romans 2000 years ago.

@@mattrogersftw yeah they didn't have that back when they were dumping their chamber pots in the street lol

@@jayee172 definitely not an anti white racists lol but you are correct that there are cultures today that still currently live in filth comparable to what Western Europeans lived in during the 14th and 17th century. I just think it's funny how a society who lived in filth and rarely bathed if at all could call another group of people Savage's when infact those "Savage's" lived in cleaner conditions with much better personal hygiene.

I feel personally attacked!

Exactly what I am doing right this minute.

I cringed at myself when that part came on!!!!

Y'all need to get back to work lol

Pussyboy

Britain had the highest condensed population in the world so its stupid comparing it to japan.

japan also wasn't industrialized on top of not having a condensed population

Daliah B. Sasstory.

Very engaging way to approach history!

what?

Oh wow!!! And thankfully the fluff didn't get into his lungs!

The Europeans were the only ones that had problems with hygiene. That's why everywhere the went they spread disease and killed thousands of people at a time. Most other cultures had hygiene regimens that worked well. The majority of native Americans that were killed died from disease. The Mayans and Aztec's as well died from disease when the Spanish showed up. Those are just a few examples. #TrueStory

Running on the street can be dangerous, exercising can be dangerous, eating too much can be dangerous. Should the government regulate all of that? Are we the property of politicians?

@@RogerRamos1993 Those are all habits you can teach thru education. We're talking about safety goggles, proper attire for protection (example: fireman gear, non-slip shoes), air conditioning and ventilation, air purifying masks and mechanics, etc.

@@kinndah2519 Companie regulate themselves, no company who has concurrence will make expensive and dangerous products. When there's lots of concurrence things tend to be cheaper, safer and of better quality.

@@caramelcapricorn06 Guess what? Nobody cares. Take your irrelevant bullshit somewhere else and stop acting like it was only europeans that conquered other lands.

What does that even mean?

lol Excellent comment

It's called practice for a reason.

Its JON. Fucking moron

@@brentdraper4382 lol ctfd

@Weird History... You have some awesome jokes within this video!!! I forgot to mention the "Smash Mouth" comment, too. 🤣 Although, I was a fan of Smash Mouth, Everclear... 🙄 As you can all see, I was obviously popular in high school.😧

Are you related to Aaron Menendez? the murderer from the patriots?

@@kevinh.2244 Thankfully, I married into the Menendez name. However, I am (truly unfortunately) related to General Lee. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I have been brainwashed to be a Detroit Lions fan. Even during their 0 - 16 season. 😁 Go Lions!

@@JenniferMenendez522 Awesome lineage you have!

Big Duck that’s aaron hernandez

They washed in the river if they had one, or sponge bathe from a tub and or basin with water bucketed up from the well, and heated on the stove, or campfire, typically on Saturday night so they were clean for church. Read little house on the prarie.

@@tinaw.5538 doesn’t that take place hundreds oft years after the 1500’s when the pioneers came tho?

I bet you wouldn't. But a YT video on it might be nice

@Zack Wilkerson it feels so empty without me!

He makes it sound like this is what was just happening in England. The same was true for contemporary nations of the time.

@@runningfromabear8354 And to a large extent, it really wasn't their fault. Industrial science outpaced medical science for a few decades, with dire consequences. Also, due to the way cities were constructed back then, adding public services - like sewers - was unimaginably expensive. When London was hit with the Great Stink, Parliament actually debated relocating the seat of government, before deciding to spend decades installing a real sewer system. Cities had to be in genuinely dire circumstances to engage in that sort of upgrade.

@@jasonblalock4429 I trace my Dad's family through London for hundreds of years. Mostly in the lower classes. London's population grew due to a constant influx of immigration but the death rate was higher than the birth rate. Most of the people arriving didn't live a year. My family didn't just survive that first year, they survived centuries. Although, I noted that a lot of them lost spouses. Especially Irish and Norwegian immigrant husbands and wives died young from the usual suspects.

In America at the time, it wasn’t quite as bad as Britain due to the amount of space available in America, letting there be more room for the majority of people, however the big cities did get pretty horrific

When you put Germans, 🇩🇪 and Brits 🇬🇧 in the same place for 244 years you get the USA 🇺🇸.

@I am Nobody... Me, too!!! 🤣 Nothing like cleaning the house, while listening to a video on amazing cleanliness of the good ole days.😷

Jennifer Menendez I was washing dishes while listening...makes me thankful that the water line isn’t close to the sewage line 🤢🤮

@@ihavenoname8628 Right?!?

I am a house keeper.. this is my favorite channel to listen to when I work.

In my case, I somehow thought that this would be good to watch while eating a pizza.

@@piritapakarinen Well the Romans had plumbing too. Hygiene worldwide wasn't all that good until recently, but doesn't mean they didn't have it. If you view past with a different perspective than the modern one we have, then it's easier to understand the weird things they did before.

Y ru dumb

And Timbuktu in Africa. In fact the African Moors bought sanitation and irrigation systems to Spain! This is way before 1492. Europe was backward and filthy

@@beauty4u132 You're so full of shit, Africa didn't bring shit to Europe. Rome was the most clean place in the entire world at the time.

Microplastics, BPA and phthalates

micky z lol have you seen anything on this channel, we quite literally live in the best/safest times

Not just that, they didnt have FORTNITE back then!

Makes you wonder what they’ll scoff at in our time 200 years from now

In the future people will thank being born in a time where all diseases have been erradicated.

i still shake my head at having to use toilet paper after pooping. feels so primitive.

lol

I learned my lesson. 😬

Lol not for the faint hearted! LMfaoo just ate breakfast while watching this too

FORREAL

@Ryan You are probably correct.

Loll

So Red Dead Redemption was right

That's not how it works...I'm from California

Exactly!

@@daisychainmilk Rich, power hungry liberal government destroyed California.

I'd rather live in California than any state in the South.

Honestly, a bit of a shame that every time we hear his name we think he knows nothing. John Snow knew a lot, people.

I always say that The Condition of the Working Class in England is a must read. It is a contemporary account of the industrial revolution and it really was an eye opener for me. It was like I was seeing his words and living in it. Such a great book!

@OverLord 666 it is very quite interesting if you look at all the discoveries/inventions shown to the public. The technical advancements that helped create this amazing event. And, the unethical human zoo. We can also relate this.event to Imperialism. This is one of the most important World's fairs to ever exist. It is far from boring

@@tomtheclipper2164 i would enjoy learning more about this, good pick!

I would love on video on this as well!

Agree

This video won't help you.

Is it a GOT reference.

Bradford is incredibly multicultural but I don’t have an issue with that in the slightest! It’s just become a very poor city, slum like conditions in some areas with slum landlords. The council spend money unwisely, very little opportunities for young people, a lot of issues with drugs and organised crime. Organised people trafficking (my partner is a detention officer and deals with them daily). Go back to the 1970’s and it was a thriving city, it’s really sad!

@@pennygil1627 Why people move out To London or to a city with better life oppurtinaty?

@Richard Head That's a whole new level man, in my place the I smell/found piss, piss in a plastic bottle, used tampon, or the worst, diapers. That's in public places (not in the toilets)
