I mean, it's almost the entire service and retail economy. Shout out to the driver of the truck that did the delivery to the supermarket of the turkey you'll poop out the next day. We owe everything to everyone.
Merry Christmas and may your next poop be a blessed one.
It’s not just the actual shitting, but the lifestyle. I wouldn’t have been able to shit in luxury in Ancient Rome, not because it wasn’t possible, but because I couldn’t have accessed that tech.
We’re used to judging history in absolutes, but that isn’t how life works.
e: it’s a great list, but if you’d add all the people leading to those positions too, all along the supply chain, there are a ridiculous number of people getting paid basically nothing in every breath you take. The least we can do is recognise that and help each other.
As a woman who can't pee while standing, or at least in a way that prevents pee from getting everywhere, I very much appreciate my winter, indoor plumbing for the everyman and all the people who make it happen. And when it's the holidays, and I'm drinking, I appreciate it even more. Cold outhouse seats suuuuuuck.
Cheers to remembering how much worse it could be and how the little things we take for granted do matter.
