The historical consensis is that people did not stink, basic hygiene like today was socially expected. Sweet smelling air was just consider heathier. #petpeevesofamuseumdocent

There are jobs that should be obsolete even now, and they show no signs of being made so. The level of automation regarding janitorial services in Japan alone proves that, let alone the time lost due to employee burnout. Sorry to get serious. I just like waxing idyllic when it comes to the inevitable replacement of mindless effort by machinery.

Prett sure this was another podcast: people still mudlark in the Themes as a hobby. So much so in fact that there is one popular subgroup that seeks typographical keys for printing presses specifically. Essentially, they're hunting for "lost fonts".

Additionally, I think some museums and/or colleges still hire hermits.

Yes! My grandmother was the pharmacy director at a hospital, and even though she never had to directly handle the leeches, she absolutely hated even holding the boxes they came in!

I volunteer. That sounds amazing. My only request is that “Please do not touch the exhibits” is maliciously enforced.
