From a Danish paper, not sure which (probably Adresseavisen of Copenhagen):



quote:

Wednesday March 4, 1767. Here lives a craftsman who chews cud. He is 20 years old; and when he has eaten, it takes 15 minutes until he gets up the food again and starts to chew it anew. It seems that the food during that time must stay in the esophagus, as he there feels something hard and a thickness. When he lays down after eating, he cannot fall asleep until he has completed his second meal by the chewing of cud. By this cud-chewing the food tastes him just as well, even better than when he first ate it. All food comes up again for him in the same order as he first ate it. What he first has eaten comes first again for the cud-chewing. This human has in all his time chewed cud; for he says himself that he never could recall when he first began. When he has done a good meal, he spends an hour and a half by chewing cud, and when it fails to appear, he is ill. He lacks nothing of his mind. His mother has nursed him herself, and his father has, by his account, occasionally chewed cud, but not so proper as the son. That humans chew cud is somewhat rare but not unheard of. It is different from the illness whereby the food rises up against the will of the human; for the proper chewing of cud is tasteful and pleasant. There is told of a Paduan tailor who at a party so chewed the food again, that his comrades said that he should pay double, as he had double gain thereof.

(If potables were of the same condition, that they could come tastefuller back, many a brandy-lover, who now sips 3 or 4 times at a glass of brandy to properly get the taste thereof, would swallow it at once so to the sooner get it again tastier. It is by the way not so uncommon to find cud-chewers.)

Also, it was a thing in 1800's society for the wife to be in charge of the family's finances, like, the husband would just hand her his paycheck and she'd actually budget and spend it.

So rather than buy a new sofa for the family, she's purchased pants and got a bicycle and is hitting on a sailor! Common morality is dead, I tell you, and all that's left is a world where women have abandoned the family and left their children to wither, sad, unloved, and sofaless.

Oh that makes a lot of sense! Even further up in time, apparently: We have my grandma's budget book from the 1930s where she wrote in every thing she bought & then once a week or month (or however often it was at the time) there's my grandpa's paycheck written in. I always assumed it was because she took book-keeping classes (against her father's wishes even).

so...yes? (bicycles were first thought to cause lesbianism)

Lesbianism didn't really "exist" until the 20th century. Women were not considered to have their own sexuality at all until quite recently. Women living together for years and decades was somewhat common (at least hereabouts), because nobody could even imagine that anything would be going on under the covers, so to speak. Then later it became weird for a whlle because idiots realized that not everybody is the same as them. Now at least it seems to be okay again here (both for women and men &c).

see thats what you get living in a new country. everybody naming their poo poo after recent things.

anyway for the sandwich dude: sandwiches are supposedly named after the earl of sandwich (in england) so your town's name is actually less weird than the foodstuff. depending on the timeline, it might even be older than actual sandwiches.

where im from, place names are usually from prehistory & have to be dated by suffixes. Certain names were used in certain periods. Obv, they adjust by other factors but goddamn living in a country that is a child.

Sometimes I'll include like great apes, porpoises, etc, cause once in a while it's gotta occur to them that they're hurting another being.
