Decline of Functioning Society

[Australia Sucks]

What are you talking about? People didn't get heart attacks at 63 in the 1500s?

I believe it it you say that because they died at 35...

Based on what evidence?

Not saying it 63 year olds did not get heart attacks in the 1500s. Just saying it was not a super common occurrence like it is today. The exponential rise in heart disease began with the rise of seed oils and sugars being added to foods less than 100 years ago.

This is literally from google AI:

"The 20th Century "Epidemic": Heart disease was uncommon at the start of the 20th century but became the most common cause of death by the 1950s and 1960s. This rise was driven by increased rates of smoking, poor diet, and sedentary lifestyles."

It doesn't say on the graph but I believe it is referring to death rates per 100,000 people which just between 1940 and 1970 increased 4 fold before advances in modern medicine allowed people to continue living (albeit in a sickly state) while still having heart disease. It is for Australia but its pretty much the same general trajectory for all western countries.

In the 1800s it was TB (treated by modern medicine via antibiotics) diarrhea, scarlet fever, pnemonia... All treatable.

Then there's that old age thing...

Dude the life expectancy in the 1940s was 65.. . What do you think people died of then?

In 1930 it was 60.

In 1900 it was 50

What Hygiene Was Like at The Court of Versailles​

King Louis XIV of France moved his royal court to Versailles

in 1982.

Though it had originally been a hunting lodge,

Louis expanded and remodeled Versailles

so that it became a glittering palace worthy of his status

as the Sun King.

French aristocrats were expected to live there as well.

But for the people who were actually there,

it was most memorable for something considerably less

opulent.

The stench(...)

Parfum was invented for a reason. Even though it´s rumoured Napoleon enjoyed Josephine unbathed. Don´t wash.
