_1_ We should be forever grateful to English courtier John Harington, the inventor of the first modern flushable toilet in 1596, and to New Yorker Joseph Gayetty, the inventor of the toilet paper in 1857.
_2_ About 60% of the world population (4. 5 billion people) have no toilet at home; India and Ethiopia have the most people without a toilet.
_3_ The US is the richest country in the world; two million Americans, however, live without running water and indoor plumbing.

I figured it was maybe cooked food that freed up all the organisms in the Gut biome from the hard labor of processing raw food to become mini-philosphers.
For them itd The Real life version of that weird movie The Platform. Look it up, just like that.
The Sybollic world representation of the digestive tract.
Anyone else out there connect the dots like me?

In Asia (I am American living in Taiwan, there are equally squat toilets as well as Western style. The squat style can be a bit tricky.
Shakyamuni said, Life is suffering. If there were Western toilets in Nepal and India in His time, I think He would have said, Ya' know? Life is pretty good!

Fun Fact: When people threw there sewage out into the streets, they would say Gardyloo which came from french Regardez l'eau which means look out for the water. That's why is parts of Europe they call it a loo.

China has gone back centuries since then. Rural places still just have a stinking hole, no soap, and its common that babies poop directly in the street. This culture will take centuries to improve

I love how most of Ted-Ed videos have very interesting titles along with cute graphics (this one gives away game vibes, because of background music as well) and relate it with essential social problems

While Europe is not using toilets in the middle and modern ages, Muslims were using them even with water. You did not mention any Muslim contribution in this video which is disappointing.

Humans during the Roman Empire: Let's invent useful things that will improve our lives.
Roman empire is destroyed
Humans: Okay, what if we don't use technology anymore?

it's funny how the fall of a great empire (ancient rome) made the fall of sanitation up until modern days. Just think what would have happened if people continued their work.
