16th century Chinese physician Li Shizhen described using fresh or fermented fecal products, also known as “yellow soup”, to treat severe diarrhea, fever, pain and constipation.
Yellow Soup, also referred to as clostridium difficile bacterial colonic introduction, is a slurry or "smoothie" of fecal material (aka poop) obtained from an intestinally-healthy donor and administered through enema or other colonic introduction. Early documentation indicates that initial forms of treatment were inspired by gastronomically impaired Indian elephants who were observed anally entering the rectums of healthy elephants with their trunks and devouring the bacterially balanced manure found therein.

Maypoles are generally regarded as phallic symbols celebrating the arrival of the Anglo-Saxon season of Spring. What most people don't realize is the ribbons that are traditionally wrapped around the maypole actually harken back to the days when human sacrifices were offered to local Druidic fertility gods. Original maypoles were actually rough-hewn staffs erected after victorious battles. Prisoners of war were ritualistically disemboweled, whereafter their colons were attached to the top of the maypole via twine or nails, and the victim was led around the maypole by naturalist priests until they fell bled out and perished.

Nazi Germany notoriously experimented on detained Jewish and Polish twins, subjecting test victims to experimentation ranging from eye pigmention to intentional conjoinism. Famed conjoined twins Chang and Eng Bunker, deceased 1874, would most likely have been thoroughly disgusted by these medical atrocities, but unfortunately died 55 years before WWII began and were unable to express their outrage.

our current king found his wife through the non-royal bourgeoisie though, and our crown prince even went so far as to wed a pleb (with a child from a former relationship)

Serious post but there's promising research in the treatment of clostridium difficile. Healthy fecal matter is introduced via enema into patients suffering from the disease and clostridium is gone within forty eight hours. so yeah this actually works!

Chang and Eng were conjoined by a liver, it was discovered after their death, which is interesting cause Chang was a drunk (and an rear end in a top hat, and Eng was very quiet and nice).

They both had separate wives, and spent 1 week at one household, where that person is "in charge" for the week and the other tried to keep "out of the way."
Yes, they had sex with their wives during their respective weeks of being in charge.

e: written from memory so i may have which was teh drunk rear end in a top hat mixed up

also doctors said "we could probably separate you" and they didn't want to

I am for real a historian and nobody knows about what I am about to write here because I am literally the first person to study it since it happened 350 years ago and I haven't published anything yet, but I learned to read 17th century Dutch and dug through the New York State archives and found this, so take my word for it.

New Amsterdam was conquered by the English in 1664 who made it New York, but the Dutch managed to retain de facto power because they controlled the economy, and 10 years later a renegade Dutch fleet invaded New York without orders to do so with the help of the Dutch people there and appointed a lunatic named Anthony Colve as governor. Colve brought back the Dutch system of government and then went completely insane, getting super paranoid, forcing everyone to work like slaves to build defenses around the city, and installing a North Korean style Militaristic Dutch regime. If you were a soldier late to work he cut your hand off, if you were asleep on duty he cut you in half. If you had any money you had to give it to him. If he didn't like your house, he demolished it. If you wanted to leave the city or have a friend stay over you were first interrogated by his cronies, and then denied. The henchmen he appointed as police were drunks that went around the city attacking people with swords and never being prosecuted. When a messenger was sent to the city to say that it was given to the English by treaty, he strung up the messenger for 3 days and wrote "troublemaker" on his chest and had people pelt him with rotten food and stones, and then banned him from the city forever under penalty of death. The city council could not tame him. He was a madman, and devastated the city, and then suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth and the historical record, and control of the city reverted to the English as was ordained by treaties made in Europe. The New English rulers were super afraid and lax with their Dutch subjects, and the Dutch remained powerful in New York for nearly a century afterwards, spawning Roosevelts and Vanderbilts and Van Burens. I have not been able to find any information about Colve before or after his rule as governor; it seems that people made an effort to erase him from history, and it (almost) worked. But I've dug up these documents and it now falls on me to tell the world of this story.

This is probably the wrong place to post this.

order communicated by beat of drum.
13. Whosoever shall be found drunk on guard shall be broken and expelled the company.
Item, if any man shall commit any evil or forbidden act when drunk, he shall not be excused on that account, but therefore be punished the more severely.

Hmm ok, not the reaction I was expecting in BYOB, but ok, cool, here, have a random edict from Colve where he gives 24 hours to evict everyone from the city who is not loyal to him:

Anthony Colve, Governor of New Orange posted:

"Whereas it is found that many strangers are daily passing in and out this city of New
Orange, without giving any account of themselves or their business, or whence they come or whither they go, which at this conjuncture of time ought no wise be tolerated nor allowed in a well governed city. In order then to prevent and obviate the same in future, We, the Commanders and Hon*"'* Council of War of this our newly recovered Province of New
Netherland, do order and direct, that all strangers who have not taken the oath of allegiance nor
obtained any license from us, shall depart within 24 hours
after the publication hereof, from
this city and its jurisdiction, and that from this time forward no one but our faithful subjects only shall presume to enter this city of New Orange until they have previously obtained our
license to that effect, on pain and penalty to ail those who shall be found within this city and
its jurisdiction, contravening this our order, of being considered enemies of our State, and, consequently, treated as spies and disturbers of its public peace.
And that this, our
order, may be more effectually enforced, we have to interdict and forbid all inhabitants of this city of New Orange, in their houses to entertain, lodge or give beds to any strangers or outside people of what Nation soever they may be, before furnishing the names of those
strangers and outside people, and of the places of their abode, to the Schout of this city before the going down of the sun, under a fine of six hundred guilders (an enourmous amount of money), in Beaver pelts, for each person
that will by them be entertained contrary to this our order
, and in addition, according to the circumstances of the case to be arbitrarily punished as an example to others ; and the Officer of this city is further required and charged to pay strict attention that this our order be
executed according to its tenor, and to deliver to the Officer in the Fort, every evening
before drum-beat, the names of the outside people with which he will be furnished. Let every one be warned hereby and take heed of damage. Dated Fort William Hendrick, September 11th, 1673."

Also he renamed the city New Orange, which is pretty cool

8 guilders per beaver then. Still, you have to kill 75 beavers, or try to talk indians into doing that for you even though you are a drunk (everyone there was a drunk) and have nothing to offer them because you want to keep what few european goods you have for yourself. Also, you don't know how to trap beavers and the Indians hate you and have been at war with you for 20 years.

Imagine things getting so crazy that afterwards everyone comes together and decides that they have to do everything in their power to erase this part of history. There's nothing about Colve or New Orange in any history books, but all the documents I read were written by desperate people in a time of war and extreme conditions, and they tried to bury it all so we wouldn't have to deal with it, but now I'm exhuming it, feels heavy
