I’ve been looking into feng shui lately, specifically the concepts about what makes a person feel more safe or at ease in a space, such as relaxing or sleeping facing the entrance / exit.
While reading, I came across the guidance that you should always shut your toilet seat to prevent your good fortune from being flushed. The real reason you should keep it shut is so it can’t mist shit-water all over your toothbrush every time you flush. Also so your pets don’t drink out of it.
What other things did humans throughout history accidentally get right?
The ancient Romans discovered evolution, though it worked a lot differently, with them theorizing we came from fish and that one day some guy with arms and legs burst out of a mother fish. According to the theory, things probably got incredibly awkward at family reunions.
So a speedrun from what actually happened.
