Description: We don't talk about it enough (understandably…), but the way we dispose of our bodily waste in the developed world has profoundly impacted how we live our lives. You can track human progress by following a timeline of our toilets. And that's exactly what we did here. What did public latrines in Ancient Rome look like? How did one of Queen Elizabeth's godsons (and blood relative of actor Kit Harrington) help revolutionize toilet technology? Why does everyone think Thomas Crapper invented the crapper? Host Janae Price covers all this and more, in just under seven minutes. And, for all those looking to help aid the global water crisis, we've included links to several organizations and initiatives dedicated to providing clean drinking water and sanitary bathroom conditions to humans all over the world: charitywater.org dropinthebucket.org thirstproject.org waterforpeople.org Did you know the history of the sex toy dates back millions of years? Or that McDonald's McRib drew inspiration from the U.S. military? Or, that the modern tailgate might have been invented during a Civil War battle? In History of… Thrillist is taking you through a rapid-fire crash course on some of humankind's greatest innovations in food, drink, travel, and fun. Hey, if you can keep up, you actually might learn something!
