Is /his/ familiar with the graffitti from Pompeii?
http://www.pompeiana.org/Resources/Ancient/Graffiti%20from%20Pompeii.htm
Here is some gems:
II.7 (gladiator barracks); 8792: On April 19th, I made bread
VII.9 (Eumachia Building, via della Abbondanza); 2048: Secundus likes to screw boys.
VII.12.18-20 (the Lupinare); 2175: I screwed a lot of girls here.
VII.12.18-20 (the Lupinare); 2192: Sollemnes, you screw well!
VII.12.35 (Vico d’ Eumachia, small room of a possible brothel); 2163: The warmest hello to Saenecio Fortunaus, wherever he may go.
VII.15.11-12 (House of Verus; between the two doors of the house); 4838: Secundus says hello to his friends.
VI (on the Street of Mercury); 1321: Publius Comicius Restitutus stood right here with his brother
VI.14 (vico degli Scienziati); 3042: Cruel Lalagus, why do you not love me?
VI.15.6 (House of Caesius Valens and Herennius Nardus); 4637: Rufus loves Cornelia Hele
VII.2.18 (vicolo del Panattiere, House of the Vibii, Merchants); 3117: Atimetus got me pregnant
Reading these is almost like having a glimpse of Roman daily life, I love them.
>VIII.2 (in the basilica); 1811: A small problem gets larger if you ignore it.
I guess some things never change
VIII.2 (in the basilica); 1826: Phileros is a eunuch!

I guess I will
it's essentially their imageboard culture
there were probably some autists who spent whole days just scribbling memes on random walls
>>585667
Of course. It's one of our memiest memes.

I didn't know that, I used to use 8ch's /his/
I'm glad 4chan decided to make one
>II.4.1 (bar; left of the door, near a picture of Mercury); 8475: Palmyra, the thirst-quencher
Palmyra confirmed gatorade capitol of the ancient world.
This always brings me many feels. It reminds me than ancient people were just like us, with the same autisms and general attitude. This is something that generally gets lost to the student of history. I wish we had more insights in how the random pleb thought.
Roman feels best feels.

>VIII.2 (in the basilica); 1904: O walls, you have held up so much tedious graffiti that I am amazed that you have not already collapsed in ruin.
