That's like, what more hot showers have been did 100 years ago?

like less.

So like, like George Washington never had a hot shower.

It's like, it's just kind of weird.

Like he, he, he took cold showers all the time or like, and again, we just take this for granted, but that's like an unbelievable life experience to have a rain, a controlled little booth where it rains hot water on your head.

And then you get out and it's not everywhere.

It's like contained.

Yeah.

That was like, you know, a lot of people probably lived and died with never experiencing hot water.

Maybe they had a way to heat water over a fire.

But like, then it's, I don't know.

It's just like, there's so many things about our lives now that are complete, just total anomaly.

How about the cockroaches and the rats and the disease and the plagues?

And then when they got, so they caught more diseases, but then when they caught the disease, they also didn't have treatment for it.

So they often would die or they would just be in a huge amount of pain.

They also didn't know what the disease was.

They didn't know about microbes.

That was this new thing, the idea that these tiny little animals that are causing these diseases.

So what did they think?

You know, in the bubonic plague, you know, in the Black Death, the 1300s, people thought that it was an act of God because, you know, God's angry at us.
