  • in the past everyone just spelled really bad

    Lol, the fact that you spelled smelled as spelled made me smile.

    But yea. It was just a fact of life. People lived in the countryside isolated and surrounded by animals so it smelled bad anyway. Even when people first started living in cities there wasn’t any proper sanitation at first so you were constantly surrounded by the smell of your own and everyone else’s shit.
















  • I think the person you responded to might not have fully realised their own age maybe? It’s happened to me before.

    I was at a festival waiting for a band to come on. Talking to people in the audience one of them asked me if I’d seen this band before. I said “yes, in X year”. A girl there says " Wow, I was born in X year". For a second I wondered how she got the beer she was holding then quickly calculated that X year was 18 years previous to the current one and realised I was talking to a group of people roughly half my age. Nothing wrong with that but it just felt kind of weird that I hadn’t really been cognisant of it before that moment.
