Ah, medieval peasants: the OG masters of “doing the best you can with what you’ve got.” No showers, no soap aisle at Walmart, and definitely no dentist who isn’t also your barber. Hygiene in the Middle Ages was basically a combo of straw, twigs, and prayers that you didn’t catch something horrible.

Want to brush your teeth? Grab a stick. Need to wipe? Hope you like moss. Feel itchy? Time to invite your friends over for a group lice-picking session. Just like karaoke night, but with way more scratching.

Weird History’s latest video takes a look at the daily grime of medieval life, from chamber pots out the window to beds stuffed with bug-infested straw. It really makes you want to kiss your hot shower in gratitude. Check it out!
