Well this is awkward

All the news from the peanut gallery and where all the nasty trash talk fails miserably.
It can get NSFW-ish here: you have been warned!

Fifty communal toilets where slaves could chat go on display as Nero's palace opens to the public

The remains of a vast palace built by the Emperor Nero, including a 50-seat latrine where slaves and workers would chat while they attended to their needs, opens to the public for the first time today.

The Domus Transitoria was a huge palace on the Palatine Hill, in the heart of ancient Rome, which was constructed in the first century AD by Nero, one of Rome’s most notorious emperors.

The palace was partially destroyed during a fire in 64 AD in which Nero famously fiddled – or played the lyre – while the imperial capital burned.

Would not be awkward for anyone with a military background

I think that was pretty common in ancient Rome. They didn't have as many hangups as we do. This is from Pompeii.

And having a communal toilet made it easier to collect the waste. So many uses!

Actual fact, the whole Nero fiddling was BS. He was hundreds of miles away when the fire broke out. Rushed back to Rome. Propaganda like CNN today.

I won’t. She’s a shit eater.
