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 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."
Probably not "Marcus is gay" since they didn't have a similar idea of sexuality, it being more or less a free-for-all.
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
these are the greatest receipts I could ever dream of.
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".
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"
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.
Do it next to something only discovered within the last few years
"Nooo, we were trying to spread the meme, not destroy it!"
Attaboy Tholfir
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
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
Try finger but hole
Commit to the bit. The bit is eternal.
Yep, same graffiti means people haven't changed at all. It's so obvious!
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
There's a pyramid with hieroglyphics carved onto the side that roughly translate to "This End Up"
The not so famous pyramid of Packanghamen.
They really understate Mozart. My favourite scatalogical composition of his is "Lick My Ass Right Well and Clean" where he compares his ass to nicely buttered roast meat: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leck_mir_den_Arsch_fein_recht_sch%C3%B6n_sauber
Super pretty choir piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkNePP0DX1A
It sounds so classy when a choir sings it.
Those who forget the past, are condemed to repeat it.
Let's just forget everything, ok?
Vikings (and Varangians) loved write silly things everywhere.
Humans have always been, and always will be, garbage.
This isn't garbage, this is good banter.
A bored guy engraving runes at an height of 3.8 meters just to mess with the next guy reading it, an artist or worker sculpting his name into a work, ordered by the class in power (church) just to give the finger to the clergy, Mozart creating a piece to get revenge on the rich class that held him prisoner to work on what was asked to him instead of having liberty to create as he pleased...
Good, old fashioned, rebellion.
I'm talking about the destructive graffiti. That's not rebellion, that's shitting things up. It's why we can never have nice things—because some asshole(s) just have to destroy shit. I love good street art, but that shit is just marking shit up to be an ass. And if you think that shit's ok, you're an ass, too.
Tagging is a form of urban cancer on its own. Full stop. But depending on what is writen, the border between reactionism and vandalism blurs.
I grew up in a very urban setting, after a political revolution, and the graffiti on the walls were words of anger, of calling out those who had cooperated with the old regime, slurs, etc.
Every word, line, trace, was disfiguring the buildings, statues and whatever surface it landed on but carried meaning, a message.
The Pompeii graffiti were gratuitous in nature but it was a city and part of a civilization know for being prone to excess. Today, those graffiti are living testaments of our colective history, although not much diferent from common and crude public bathroom scribbles.
You downvote me because I differentiate between trash tags and actual street art? Not all street art is sanctioned, but there is street art that is technically vandalism, but it's still good art that brings some color to an otherwise drab concrete jungle. In any case, it can be removed, but carving shit in isn't so easy to fix.
I didn't. I don't care about the votes system; you engaged me in conversation, I replied, let's keep going. Does not care if we disagree on our views, we're discussing ideas and that matters by itself.
You're right. The value of anything, especially art, resides on the eye of the person looking at it, so, at this point, I will admit defeat on my previous argument.
