Anyone else?

I guess it would be still be better than yours you autistic faggot
>>62713401
Nope. I'm very orally hygienic
Bad breath is actually a modern invention. Before, because everyone had bad breath it was just known as breath and everyone was find with it.
>>62713420
It still wouldn't smelled repulsive though
>>62713430
For you.
>>62713366
Or how bad everyone smelled in general. Or how greasy their hair would be.

Romans brushed their teeth with urine.

I get the same feeling when I watch movies that take place in Britain.

Are you fucking stupid? They aren't constantly being exposed to the breath smell all the time or enough to where sensory adaption would happen. Try again
I usually have to get up and pace around for a bit until I finally cave in and just brush, flush, and rinse a little

Are you an expert on Neural Adaption and can evaluate why you're right about this, or are you just pretending to be knowledgable on the Internet for ego-feeding?
Which is it, I wonder...
Most people were far my hygienic than whatever meme history you have been exposed to would lead you to believe
People showered and bathed all the time, in streams and lakes if they didn't have anything to store water in
People brushed their teeth using charcoal as tooth paste or if they were very poor with a shredded twig
>>62713623
You also have to keep in mind that tooth decay wasn't as common before 1700/1800 due to the diet. What we eat nowadays is horrible for our teeth and mouth flora.
People bathed far less often since it usually meant either getting in a small tub with a rough sponge or brush and maybe some soap or just bathing in the nearest river. Some poor people who didn't have properly heated homes could go an entire winter without bathing. Also deoderant wasn't a thing and most people did hard labour as their sole occupation. Add that to modern plumbing being a fairly recent invention in a historical context...
Bad breath is just one dimension of the stank. BO, shit, piss, rot, smog (if industrial era city), and grime. Compared to them we smell like a trimmed bouquet of wildflowers.

You can clean yourself with snow, you know. Hell, you can even clean yourself with nothing but dry sand.
>>62713622
Are you an expert? No? So why would you even suggest sensory adaption was a thing on a large scale. People smelled other people's bad breath back then. Why do you think chewing on mint was a thing? BECAUSE PEOPLE DIDNT WANT OTHER PEOPLE TO SMEL THEIR BREATH.

Especially among coastal states, where the primary diet had a lot of sea food, and thus fluoride in it.
What OP should be sperging about, and completely ruineed fantasy for me for like a year (starting with the Magician) was the term "on the rag."
Before tampons girls just shoved rags up there that must have smelled fucking horrid.
I thought about that a lot while watching deadwood. Even the clean characters seemed disgusting
nah, their breath smelt of whiskey and tobacco. Doesn't change the fact it stunk tho
>>62713810
Look up menstrual pads bro. I don't think they actually stuffed dirty rags into their vaginas.
>>62713810
You realize fluoride prevents tooth decay right?
>>62713810
>Before tampons girls just shoved rags up there that must have smelled fucking horrid.
It's not like they reused them, they threw them away after a days use just like modern tampons
>>62713834
>>62713843
Actually they used washable rectangular shifts of cloth, which were re-used. They were also often forgotten about, which you still find in modern days. A major example being that in porn, if a pornstar is menstruating, they shove a sponge up their vagina. It's not uncommon for the women to completely forget about it and have it smelling rank in a scene weeks later.
>>62713839
That was my point actually, sorry if it wasn't clear.
>>62713794
Can you stop avoiding my question and explain why you're right?
I'm not the same poster who initally pointed you to wikipedia so you'll have to take that up with him. I just called you out for talking about stuff you know nothing about.
I mean come on, one guy posts nothing but a wiki article and you're already making up arguments to shoot down. If that isn't ego feeding then I don't know what is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man
>>62713839
you realize too much fluoride fucks your teeth right
>>62713877
I'm not sure I believe that. Leaving a tampon in for more than 20 hours already puts women in pretty severe danger. I don't see how you could leave the cloth in for weeks and not die of toxic shock syndrome.

Weeks!? Are you sure? Because forgetting a tampon in there over night can be lethal.
