California woman’s post about Roman toilets leads to a jab at China, and after an ADHD spiral she is convinced she knows how to save America

A California woman recently shared a history deep dive on Instagram and TikTok, which has already earned her 271K views and 50K views, respectively. Tuxedo Seal Studios, who is working on a novel inspired by Rome, found herself in an unexpected debate when one person wasn’t happy with her take on ancient sanitation and claimed that Italy has more in common with ancient Rome today than China has in common with ancient China.

As the creator explained in her video, she began reading a 600-page book titled The Romans: An 8,000-year history by Edward J. Watts. She admitted, “While I was reading the 600-page book on Rome’s history, I completely forgot about why I started reading that book. And then my neurodivergent brain just started shipping Agrippa and Augustus again.”
