No. People didn't classify things as heterosexual or homosexual then.

Dr. Sergey Sergeyevich Bryukhonenko had already laid the groundwork for what Russian scientists were proposing, and they wasted no time in putting it into practice. No such head-start was afforded them in the construction of the mechanical body, however, and yet the team still managed to build a working prototype in the span of two years.

People always complain about how juvenile humor is these days and how everybody needs to grow up and stop telling rancid jokes. I'm sure we've all heard it as long as we've been alive; somebody bitching about how awful things are now and pointing to dirty humor as proof.

Shakespeare's works contain a "your mom" joke. One of the oldest written jokes found in English was a dick joke. In an old Viking epic one of the heroes is cursed with a penis so huge he couldn't have sex with his wife anymore.

Still weak compared to the Norse.

quote:

There is one other example of flyting, this time from the Morkinskinna, the Earliest Chronicles of the Kings of Norway. In one of the þáttr, or interpolated short stories in the chronicles, the snegu-Halla þáttr, the main character Halla, a skald is confronted by King Harald, who shows him a fine knife. Harald asks if Halla has ever seen a better and then asks if Halla would become sorðinn (his bitch) in order to get possession of the knife. Of course, this should outrage Halla, but he coolly replies, “No, but I see no harm in you selling it the same way you bought it.”

Another example of the verbal jousting betweenHarald and Halla takes place when Harald first arrives in Iceland. Halla greets him and Harald tells Halla that he heard that Halla had been sorðinn for Agði, a local farmer. Halla quickly replies, “No he wanted a better man and decided to wait until you arrived.”

Yeah the more things change, the more they remain the same. I think I posted the oldest documented joke earlier in this thread, from I think 3000 BC. It was a fart joke.

They're all kind of dark for children's games.

Not super grimdark but even the one with babby Link had Hyrule drowned, casualties unknown.

Twilight Princess tried to be dark in a really tumblry way.

Ocarina kills everyone by dropping the moon on you every time you screw up.

Skyward sword is kinda post apoc, iirc.

Even the original is like, monsters everywhere, oh hey a human I'll go talk to him, welp I killed him. Only monsters now.

The oldest known joke is a 4,000 year old Sumarian phrase: "Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young woman did not fart in her husband's lap." I'm pretty sure you could modernize the telling a bit and still get a laugh with what amounts to a verbal ancient artifact. You can find even older humor elsewhere if you count the hieroglyphics of drunks throwing up found inside pyramid walls and other preserved Egyptian structures.

If you really want to commune with the past, check out the types of graffiti that were found inside Pompeii.

Some of it is straight graffiti but it looks like some of those ancient scribbles were meant to be broadly seen, like the guy looking for information re: his stolen copper pot and the dude advertising: "Palmyra: the thirst-quencher."

There's a few cases of people keeping accounting on the walls too, as a reminder that writing material was a luxury for a huge amount of time before we figured out how to make it so cheap that we wipe our asses with it.

I forget if it was brought up in this thread or not, but the norse were obsessed with rune stones chronicling stories or histories. Being far from home and of somewhat limited means to commission a runestone, members of the Varangian guard settled for carving the equivalent of "Name was here" on landmarks including the Hagia Sophia

I have come to discourse on the profound inequities of the American political system.

Ancient landmarks also serve as a kind of long-running graffiti target. There's graffiti on Ancient Egyptian structures from Nubians, to Greeks, to Romans, to Arabs, to even French soldiers who came with Napoleon. People have been scribbling poo poo on walls since we first put them up.
