Man has felt the need to leave his mark on this world since the very beginning. Not likely to ever change
I visited a 17,000 year old cave painting site in France, and the whole walk into the cave there are modern day graffiti signatures like “Bob, 1992” etc. but then you start to notice that the years go back further and further…1827…1761…1597. Then you get to the old cave art and it kind of feels like a continuation of the same shit, just some people leaving their scribbles on a rock like they have been probably since they discovered how to do it.
I had a book of graffiti, one of them was described as an arrow written up a wall next to a urinal up to the ceiling where a message read “by the time you’ve read this message, you have pissed on your shoes.”
I would unironically watch something called ‘Ancient Shitposting’ that focused on old graffiti and pisstakes. It would still be more relevant to history than most of what is on channels with History in the name these days.
I want a spinoff focusing on animals fucking with humans in ancient times, like paw prints in bricks or on documents. Must be a treasure trove of hilarious antics throughout the times
I know a number of Roman and medieval European tiles have been found. I’m sure there’s more around the world because cats gonna cat.
The only exception would be in places like the Americas where they didnt have any domestic cats, though who knows maybe someone tried domesticating mountain lions which are in the same family as housecats.
Well, there’s more than just cats, but true. Wolves, dogs, monkeys, and just about anything else could be traipsing about.
I liked the story about the “very high” runes and so I found a source. Apparently, the writing was “Tholfir Kolbeinsson carved these runes high up”.
Kolbein must’ve been so proud.
Souls players have been around for centuries.
Try finger but hole
Best use of a time machine ever, carve that in ancient Norse runes for future people to find.
Nah, go further back and carve next to all kinds of fossils the word “dog”
Especially the trilobytes
Finally, we’ll know where the word came from!
Thing is, unless we first found it way later, people would just think they’re referencing the runes.
“Nooo, we were trying to spread the meme, not destroy it!”
Do it next to something only discovered within the last few years
Attaboy Tholfir
Probably not “Marcus is gay” since they didn’t have a similar idea of sexuality, it being more or less a free-for-all.
Oh my sweet summer child…
Bad use of the meme.
Weep, you girls. My penis has given you up. Now it penetrates men’s behinds. Goodbye, wondrous femininity!
Amplicatus, I know that Icarus is buggering you. Salvius wrote this.
Theophilus, don’t perform oral sex on girls against the city wall like a dog
I have buggered men
Secundus likes to screw boys.
If anyone sits here, let him read this first of all: if anyone wants a screw, he should look for Attice; she costs 4 sestertii.
The one who buggers a fire burns his penis
Yo Imma need Attice’s digits, and a bag of sestertii
these are the greatest receipts I could ever dream of.
I would watch Ancient Shitposting religiously.
Too bad it would never happen on the history channel, it involves history.
They can always claim it’s aliens. And then translate it all, with the people’s names, and keep claiming it’s aliens.
Milo Rossi should make a channel

People think humanity is so much more evolved now but it has been actually the same shit from thousands ago or whenever recorded history goes back.
Also: portuga was here
Millions of years, likely. The whole reason we’re successful is because our pre-human ancestors were empathetic and cooperative enough to build societies.
We see those same traits in many other primates, and they’re not something it makes sense to evolve, lose, and evolve again. Those traits predate us.
Language almost certainly predates us, since we see it not only in other primates, but in non-primate species, too. And based on the humour we see in many animals, you can bet we were making dick jokes nearly out of the gate.
Always has been. This is where the whole “Dark Ages” idea comes from, IIRC: people further on in time wanting to separate themselves as special and more advanced.
We’ve evolved technologically, not psychologically
There’s a pyramid with hieroglyphics carved onto the side that roughly translate to “This End Up”
The not so famous pyramid of Packanghamen.
Try finger but hole
Vikings (and Varangians) loved write silly things everywhere.
Those who forget the past, are condemed to repeat it.
Let’s just forget everything, ok?
Yep, same graffiti means people haven’t changed at all. It’s so obvious!
