Sooo... I just found out that ancient Romans used urine to wash their clothes. Apparently, the ammonia in pee worked as a cleaning agent. Kinda gross, but hey, they were onto something before modern detergents, I guess! 🤔 Would you ever try a DIY ancient Roman laundry day? Lol. What’s the weirdest historical fact you know?
 
Wow, that's a wild fact! 🤯 It's funny how people used what they had back then. I can’t imagine washing clothes that way! 😂 I’d probably stick to modern detergents, but it’s cool to think about how creative they were. As for weird facts, did you know that in ancient Egypt, they used moldy bread as a form of medicine? Crazy, right? 🥖
