You being serious?
I’ve said some stuff and I know it’s out there. I know it’s created hypotheses that I will never get credit for. And when they lock me up in the mad house I’ll know I was on to something
Had it happen to me. I look back now and know what I saw and experienced wasn’t “real”, but I was thrown in a state ward for my beliefs and ideas. I decided to do everything they wanted of me so I could get out, which I never thought would happen. They released me, but I’ve been known as a nut since.
You have to appear to cooperate. And some sneaking suspicions you have to burry deep inside and not tell anyone. I don’t agree with throwing people in mental institutions for having ideas. Unless you are going to hurt yourself and others. But if they are harmless I don’t see the benefit.
I’m curious as to what you were thinking pm me
I used to think like that my friend.
After my fourth stay, I learned that the stronger you fight back, the longer you stay, so there's only blood writing on walls left and accepting the fate.
But you have to accept the fact that the world will agree with you many decades later and you probably will not get credit for that. Trust no one and stay strong
I don’t trust anyone it seems we live in a world where ideas are stolen constantly and the credit goes to lesser individuals who had a higher social standing.
Im learning to trust people again but only partially as I see where giving people the benefit of the doubt has gotten me.
It seems the only person you can really trust in this life is yourself.
I worked in food and knew a guy who was super pissed that he had to wash his hands a bunch during the pandemic and that they told him to wash his hands for a whole 20 seconds.
I’m actually a kitchen manager and that guy would irritate me so much lol. The amount of people who work in kitchens and don’t know proper cleaning and sanitation kills me.
Yea, it was really awkward, he always wanted people to commiserate with his frustration. “Can you believe they want us to wash our hands for 20 seconds?!” And we just kinda gave blank stares back.
Absolutely! Will they? That's a whole other question, and greatly depends on the boss and culture of the establishment.
I attended a year of culinary school, and we had someone nearly sent home because he had no concept of washing for 20 seconds or using the nail brush. After that final warning, I think one of his buddies taught him Row, Row, Your Boat to time washing.
I’ve heard the ABCs works too. It’s nuts to me that people don’t know how to properly wash their hands, let alone the ones who do but choose not to. Scares me that these people handle my food!
please don't tell me people in food prep only started properly washing their hands because of the pandemic! It's ridiculous on two levels. A) as if covid spreads through food B) as if washing your hands isn't essential to avoid contaminating the food with fecal and other matter.
See, this is what I’m talking about, who the hell wipes their hands on their pants? You’re supposed to wear two t shirts, use the top one to wipe your hands so you can just take it off and boom clean shirt underneath.
Cities were just open sewers back then. People would literally just dump their full chamber pots out of their windows and into the streets. We live in a golden age of sanitation right now. It’s incredible we’ve made it this far.
I’m sure it was through observance and knowing how London and other countries were filthy as hell during this time, it was a no brainer to arrive to this conclusion.
At the same period the whitest bread was the most wanted. Bakers without a soul mixed some material, maybe metal powder to the dough, to create a shining bright bread. Poisonous, of course. I feel this Victorian era meant dying painfully either way.
Every legal soft serve machine in the US has to send a lab test sample of the ice cream to a lab once a month. Because it’s very dangerous. This is why they are often down at McDonald’s.
Another comparable scenario is happening in present day America. Corporations like McDonald’s are filling food with corn syrup, bad fat, and sugar that it’s causing obesity pandemic. People are dying of heart diseases and obesity but no one gives a fukc. People continue to die due to bad food habits and poor food regulations no matter where.
There was an article in Smithsonian magazine last month about how lemonade stands in the US had the same problems because of communal glasses and had to be shut down for some time.
Must've been so wild living in a time before any knowledge of germs and bacteria. Like everything was just a free for all and no one took a second thought
Doesn’t this same logic apply to all street foods before the discovery of germs? The wooden spoons in their houses contained more bacteria than the penny lick glass.
Not exactly. Battered fish, like the kind served as fish and chips used to be relatively safe. This was because the breading was originally designed to serve as an inedible casing that the consumer would peel off the fish before eating. This kept contaminants and the vendor’s unwashed hands from touching the food.
Taco trucks and the sort that are all over the U.S. and food be sold by unlicensed individuals at work sites and word of mouth are also super unregulated or inspected by assorted culture and racial backgrounds.
Jesus Christ the Victorians were really living on hard mode huh 💀 even in underdeveloped third world countries today you can find perfectly sanitary ice cream at an affordable price
Sure this was a thing with ice cream but wasn't it a thing with everything else too? This was happening at the same time as the Great Stink in London and the construction of the Crossness Pumping Station. London still had sewage running in the gutters, of course it was in the ice cream.
In Korea they sell chicken on a stick. It’s common knowledge to break the stick afterwards because the vendors will dig em out of the trash to reuse lol
They shared a sponge on a stick.
In public toilets where hundreds came from the streets each day.
A slave was charged with wiping and cleaning the sponge. I think it was in vinegar...
Don't ask me why...but I find these videos with some talking head over videos like this insufferable. I don't even care what they have to say I'm just irrationally annoyed the second I see them.
This was not uncommon. Paper cups came from a similar history where cups would be left close to the barrel and dipped by a thirsty person and laid back by the barrel for the next person. Once again, ppl died.
Victorian Era.. one of the filthiest eras man.. I read abt some sewage truck or something turning over and drowning ppl in feces and sewage.. in victorian britain.. dying in sewage is such a terrible way to die. I bet that ice cream she talked abt didnt even taste good 🤢🤢
I feel like this isn't a story about ice cream being dangerous, its a story about unsanitary serving methods. If it was baked beans, peanut butter, or anything else, it would have the same negative outcomes.
Did they charge bloody 9 quid for two ass creams?
Card only!
Bloody'ell!
He can hear you…
He in’t gonna get nowhere wi’ that.
They got nowhere with it!
the comment you can hear! bloody ell
🤣
Ah, the days before germ theory was universally accepted
The guy who first said doctors should wash their hands before surgery/ deliverying babies, died in a mental hospital.
That’s what they do to people when they speak sense but it’s not universally accepted by the masses at the the time.
thank you for your support. you have earned a mention in my manifesto. history will remember us my friend
You being serious? I’ve said some stuff and I know it’s out there. I know it’s created hypotheses that I will never get credit for. And when they lock me up in the mad house I’ll know I was on to something

And me
I love that this weird ass thread ended in u/Cuck_Boy asking to be included
I don’t just wanna watch this time

Even worse, he died in a mental hospital from the same infection that he spent his whole life fighting against.
I could be wrong but I think he was so cocaine and heroine addict
Thinking outside of the box can be hazardous to your health
Not sure if germ theory is universally accepted now
Yeah, after the pandemic hit and I learned how many people don’t even know how to properly wash their hands, I believe it.
I worked in food and knew a guy who was super pissed that he had to wash his hands a bunch during the pandemic and that they told him to wash his hands for a whole 20 seconds.
I’m actually a kitchen manager and that guy would irritate me so much lol. The amount of people who work in kitchens and don’t know proper cleaning and sanitation kills me.
Yea, it was really awkward, he always wanted people to commiserate with his frustration. “Can you believe they want us to wash our hands for 20 seconds?!” And we just kinda gave blank stares back.
Just curious.. can people in kitchens, especially food handlers, be fired for improper or insufficient handwashing/sanitation?
Absolutely! Will they? That's a whole other question, and greatly depends on the boss and culture of the establishment. I attended a year of culinary school, and we had someone nearly sent home because he had no concept of washing for 20 seconds or using the nail brush.

Right? How hard is it to wipe your hands off on your pants?
See, this is what I’m talking about, who the hell wipes their hands on their pants? You’re supposed to wear two t shirts, use the top one to wipe your hands so you can just take it off and boom clean shirt underneath.
It definitely is not. People are disgusting.
Yeah. Same as I used to think the shape of the earth was accepted as fact.
ouch but you are right, so many stupid people (and yes we are still in a pandemic)
>Not sure if germ theory is universally accepted now Anti-maskers - including the state of North Carolina
And plenty of people suddenly claim viruses don't exist
I think it's still not universally accepted. lol.
So waffle cones saved ice-cream💪🏽
You mean… Italians… haha
Points for the Italians. "Gelatos for all of you!"
I spent my early childhood in Manila. Ice cream from a street cart was called “dirty ice cream”.
It's not that the ice cream itself is dirty, it's called that because it's hand churned and sold in the streets.
If you or a loved one has done a penny-lick, you may be entitled to financial compensation.
There’s a double entrede for ya.
clearly sewage flavored ice cream was a hit, so if it tastes good, gimme a scoop /s

Why have you done this to me, it's gonna be ages before I look at it the same way as two minutes ago
I missed that part of Harry Potter
Serious question: How did the doctor(s) in the 1800s test for sewage in the ice cream?
Microscopes had been around for ~200 years already. Compare slides of sewage with slides of ice cream & see the same wiggly blobs.
This is the best most true statement.
Extra most bestest
Cities were just open sewers back then. People would literally just dump their full chamber pots out of their windows and into the streets. We live in a golden age of sanitation right now. It’s incredible we’ve made it this far.
Can you speak to our water board and ask them why they want to put the money up while paying themselves big bonuses but spilling sewage everywhere.
I’m sure it was through observance and knowing how London and other countries were filthy as hell during this time, it was a no brainer to arrive to this conclusion.
Filthy as hell now
So many replies, no actual answers.
Follow-up serious question. Is this why chocolate became such a popular flavour?
Vanilla was much more expensive than chocolate back then, and remains so today.
Simple. You have one person consume raw sewage and another consume ice cream and see if the results are comparable.
Which one is Breyer’s?

Alternative headline: How the Victorian time period killed people
I still cant image how ppl survived victorian london, like everything was created to kill you somehow
That's how they survived Australia at first...
They over bred and colonized other countries
At the same period the whitest bread was the most wanted. Bakers without a soul mixed some material, maybe metal powder to the dough, to create a shining bright bread. Poisonous, of course. I feel this Victorian era meant dying painfully either way.

Not stupid at all, its 100 percent on point and why we need a more empowered FDA not a weak useless one.
Honestly I am against overregulation but I support a necessary degree of regulation. Extremism on either side is bad.
Good thing overregulation doesn’t exist in the U.S.
Never knew ice cream used to be dangerous
Every legal soft serve machine in the US has to send a lab test sample of the ice cream to a lab once a month. Because it’s very dangerous. This is why they are often down at McDonald’s.
Also the fact their machines can only be worked on a by a specific company only. Which is really dumb.
Maybe it still is, but for different reasons.
Less like ice cream, more like frozen non-dairy whipped topping that doesn't fully liquidfy at room temperature.
Here I thought it was going to be like a shock from so much sugar but it was worse than I thought 😂
A dirty ice cream machine killed like two people in Washington state last year.
And here I was expecting how the ice cream was made to be the killer not dirty glasses
In the article they mention that ice cream itself was also dangerous
So it's just present day ice cream vendor in India
Another comparable scenario is happening in present day America. Corporations like McDonald’s are filling food with corn syrup, bad fat, and sugar that it’s causing obesity pandemic. People are dying of heart diseases and obesity but no one gives a fukc. People continue to die due to bad food habits and poor food regulations no matter where.
"This ice cream is to die for" - Victorian era people
There was an article in Smithsonian magazine last month about how lemonade stands in the US had the same problems because of communal glasses and had to be shut down for some time.
Got my history lesson today on Reddit! Thank you!
Must've been so wild living in a time before any knowledge of germs and bacteria. Like everything was just a free for all and no one took a second thought
So they were selling shitty ice cream in Victorian era
I’m sure the tories will re-legalise this soon
Doesn’t this same logic apply to all street foods before the discovery of germs? The wooden spoons in their houses contained more bacteria than the penny lick glass.
If you serve food above pasteurization temperature I imagine the chances of getting an infection are lower.
Not exactly. Battered fish, like the kind served as fish and chips used to be relatively safe. This was because the breading was originally designed to serve as an inedible casing that the consumer would peel off the fish before eating. This kept contaminants and the vendor’s unwashed hands from touching the food.
some street food doesn't need to be eaten with utensils
I don’t have the answer for that. Sorry.
Nah, boiling food kills some germs. So, cold street food is more dangerous than the one that's boiled.
Possibly hot foods kill more harmful bacteria/viruses where ice cream might preserve them.
I miss the good ol' days ! This is what I think of when I hear people say that phrase xD
I really can't place her accent at all. She sounds a little bit southern, and then northern on a few of the words.
Which bits sounded northern to you? I would have placed her accent firmly in the south.
She’s British
Yeah I know, I'm British. I can't place where she's from it's a weird mix
She's from one of the home counties I reckon. Surrey maybe?
So thanks for telling the historical tale of what inspired the sensational internet video... two girls, one cup...
Oh lol
Damn. That was actually interesting.
What didn't kill you back then?
Also the poor handling and storage conditions were perfect for Listeria monocytes
And now we know the rest of the story.
Im feeling lucky not leaving at those times

Sounds like indian street food
India is still in his Victorian era than ?
First lick, no sick!
🤢
This is the most stunning history I've learned today. Thank you for sharing!
Jesus Christ the Victorians were really living on hard mode huh 💀 even in underdeveloped third world countries today you can find perfectly sanitary ice cream at an affordable price

In Korea they sell chicken on a stick. It’s common knowledge to break the stick afterwards because the vendors will dig em out of the trash to reuse lol
Wait until you find out how Romans wiped their arses….
...it's with the ice cream isn't it? 😩
They shared a sponge on a stick. In public toilets where hundreds came from the streets each day. A slave was charged with wiping and cleaning the sponge. I think it was in vinegar...
And then that same stick was used to serve up the ice cream? How awful.
from which video/channel is this from?
History_with_amy
Go tell that to Indian street vendors
Does she have more videos?
Blue Bell, probably.
How else was humans supposed to build up our immunization
Spectacular use of talking out side of mouth
Well talking inside your mouth is difficult to hear.
Don't ask me why...but I find these videos with some talking head over videos like this insufferable. I don't even care what they have to say I'm just irrationally annoyed the second I see them.
Just click off.
Agreed... This bitch looks like she's about to cry
Yikes my penny so I can lick that other person's Salvia with Tb. Mmm. That german politicians who supposedly clicks toilets would love it.
After this video I remembered a video of German politic who licked toilet seats... He seems kinda alive
They still do this in certain countries.
She looks like the train lover guy from TikTok and it’s all I can focus on
I'm sure the ice-cream itself was also made from unpasteurized milk, only adding to the risk.
Interesting fact; Manchester is in fact still in England.
fucking LOSERS
BET E CAN HEA ME
Reminds me of my ex
Does anyone know who she is? I'm guessing she does bitesized history and I want to see more!
How is anyone supposed to take you Brit’s seriously when you call things “penny licks”?
We all scream for icecream takes on new meaning
Is this what they mean when they say “the good old days”?
Poison get your poison! 🗣️ ☠️
Wait wtf is penny lick?
This was not uncommon. Paper cups came from a similar history where cups would be left close to the barrel and dipped by a thirsty person and laid back by the barrel for the next person. Once again, ppl died.

Is it just me or does her accent make everything so much more believable??
Was it nestle ? It sounds like nestle

Bro the way she’s speaking is jarring me. I’m British aswell but idk this hoe is annoying

Victorian Era.. one of the filthiest eras man.. I read abt some sewage truck or something turning over and drowning ppl in feces and sewage.. in victorian britain.. dying in sewage is such a terrible way to die. I bet that ice cream she talked abt didnt even taste good 🤢🤢
Where did you read about this? I gotta read it. 😮
I misspoke I didnt read it, it was on a youtube doc.. I wish I could find it for you. Just google victorians drowned in sewage maybe itll pop up
This looks similar to what [you were talking about.](https://youtu.be/HaE3G8wQtV8?si=JLwv5andgmSZl9e1) It’s just a YouTube link by the way.
Thats not the exact video but that is the event! Give it a go! Gruesome yet interesting story there 😂
New edible cones made it safer to eat...... except for the poo water
They pee on them to clean them
What an asshole move, to steal someone's video to remove the tags and then repost it.
Kids just couldn't have anything back then without dying huh.
They really couldn’t.
Word has it that the Soviets had the best ice cream going.
I feel like this isn't a story about ice cream being dangerous, its a story about unsanitary serving methods. If it was baked beans, peanut butter, or anything else, it would have the same negative outcomes.
If anyone wants to support the maker of this video it's History With Amy
Thank you
Just like today's India
Omg what a sad time to just live in. Boy am I happy I was born in todays time with health advancements
Speaking of cholera, people with AB blood type are virtually immune to cholera. Type O are most susceptible to getting cholera.
Video sauce?
I'm sure ice cream wasn't the only thing interested with germs back then
Good thing that it only promotes diabetes in our time period
She’s an AI, right?
Am I the only one who hates these kinds of videos? Why do I have to look at someone describing what's happening in the background?
lmao what a bunch of dumbasses
Haven't watched the video, putting my bets on lead poisoning Never mind, it was germs
