    Like, in 5000 years when we have retreated beneath the crust of the earth to escape the ravaged surface, a precious young mole-dude hybrid will absolutely use his gamma drill to etch a big ole peener into some igneous strata. His ancestors stretching back through counltess eons will all look on proudly and be like "lol nice"

    personally I remember feeling this way when I read some of the graffiti from pompeii
    shitposters have been shitposters for all of history
    'Secundus defecated here' three time on one wall.
    also, well, this one feels extremely relatable
    In one bar, a picture depicts two men playing dice. One shouts, "Six!" while his opponent holds up two fingers and says, "No, that’s not a ‘three’; it’s a ‘two’”. By the door of the bar, another picture shows a short man driving a group of men out. Above his head are the words, “Go on, get out of here! You have been fighting!”

    the shitposting in pompeii and herculaneum is incredible
    Bar/Brothel of Innulus and Papilio: Weep, you girls. My penis has given you up. Now it penetrates men's behinds. Goodbye, wondrous femininity!
    Gladiator barracks: Floronius, privileged soldier of the 7th legion, was here. The women did not know of his presence. Only six women came to know, too few for such a stallion.
    In the basilica: Epaphra, you are bald!
    In the basilica: Chie, I hope your haemorrhoids rub together so much that they hurt worse than when they ever have before!

    I like the one that's just two dudes in a weird love triangle arguing through graffiti
    (all in the Thermopolium of Prima)
    Successus, a weaver, loves the innkeeper’s slave girl named Iris. She, however, does not love him. Still, he begs her to have pity on him. His rival wrote this. Goodbye. [Severus]
    Envious one, why do you get in the way. Submit to a handsomer man and one who is being treated very wrongly and good looking. [Answer by Successus]
    I have spoken. I have written all there is to say. You love Iris, but she does not love you. [Answer by Severus]

    also just the repeated messages that amount to "gods damn it, stop pooping outside my house"
    To the one defecating here. Beware of the curse. If you look down on this curse, may you have an angry Jupiter for an enemy.

    also, of course, the self-aware Tweet about how bad Twitter is
    O walls, you have held up so much tedious graffiti that I am amazed that you have not already collapsed in ruin.

    david and goliath is taught early because it is an extremely easy to understand story of triumphing over a seemingly impossible foe

    bathsheba is a great deal more difficult to relate to a child because it deals with great men having flaws and how one seeks absolution and justice after

    Honestly, David’s life is a pretty interesting story, from shepherd who killed a giant, to great soldier under Saul, having a deep passionate romance with Saul’s son Jonathon, to becoming king, getting a bunch of people killed for his sins, banging Bathsheba, etc.

    but also, well
    Phil Vischer said in the studio commentary that this was the most risky episode Big Idea had ever produced at the time, since the original Bible story the episode is based after is more "adult" themed. Sean Gaffney wrote the first draft; a ten-page script called "King David and the Bath Ducky." The story was just the same as the original Bible story, but with a rubber duck in the place of Bathsheba. Phil then decided to tweak it (eg. names and locations) because he didn't want kids to go looking it up in the Bible to read it.
    yeah, a story about a dude having a man killed so he can fuck his wife is a bit much for a five-year-old
    I think just in general children don't get told much of the other Bible stories with tons of sex and violence in them, because society as a whole doesn't like to expose kids to stuff like Genesis 19:30-38

    On the subject of graffiti: on the island of Orkney there's a burial mound with a load of Viking graffiti from when a party was sheltering from a storm over Christmas (according to Orkneyinga saga, anyway)

    Such pearls of wisdom as:

    "Tholfir Kolbeinsson carved these runes high up"
    "These runes were carved by the man most skilled in runes in the western ocean"
    "This is how Vermundr carved"

    honestly that just depends on the timeframe and whether or not they watched VeggieTales, because they sure did do an episode where Larry the Cucumber plays a king who sends a boy to the front lines of a war so he can steal his rubber duck

    but also, well
    Phil Vischer said in the studio commentary that this was the most risky episode Big Idea had ever produced at the time, since the original Bible story the episode is based after is more "adult" themed. Sean Gaffney wrote the first draft; a ten-page script called "King David and the Bath Ducky." The story was just the same as the original Bible story, but with a rubber duck in the place of Bathsheba. Phil then decided to tweak it (eg. names and locations) because he didn't want kids to go looking it up in the Bible to read it.
    yeah, a story about a dude having a man killed so he can fuck his wife is a bit much for a five-year-old
    I think just in general children don't get told much of the other Bible stories with tons of sex and violence in them, because society as a whole doesn't like to expose kids to stuff like Genesis 19:30-38

    not sex, but like...

    David doesn't hug Goliath and then tuck him into bed
