    Me using this in Roman times.

    Roman 1: Is that poor guy dying?

    Roman 2: No that’s just him every morning.

        You misunderstand. I don’t have an issue with things not moving enough. Mine is moving too much.

            My problems are beyond your fiber’s skills or magic. I was born with IBS and I will die with it.

              True. If your gut has decided that its purpose is to hate you and everything you eat, then no amount of fiber will convince it otherwise.

              IBS isn’t always lifelong though. I hope you can work out a diet that avoids angering the growling intenstinal gremlins.

        Current research doesn’t support that.
        Most likely, the sponge sticks were used as a toilet brush, and pieces of cloth were used to wipe.

        Also “without privacy” is also in question, because you could use cloth partitions hanging from a rod; something known to be used in stadiums to separate class.

          Afaik there’s an original source that makes fun of a guy who hung out on the toilet all day, hoping to strike up a conversation that’ll get him invited to dinner.
          That would imply it was a social thing.

            It would imply that guy thought it was a social thing. Y’never know, maybe he was a weirdo even then. He could’ve been the proto-creeper whose descendants haunt public restrooms to this day.
