He is being dishonest.
- throwanem 2y agoIf you must lie, be less bad at it. From the paper [1] she read and you didn't: > It is now universally accepted that utilization of lead for domestic purposes and water distribution presents a major health hazard. The ancient Roman world was unaware of these risks. How far the gigantic network of lead pipes used in ancient Rome compromised public health in the city is unknown...[Lead isotopes in sediments from the harbor of Imperial Rome] demonstrate that the lead pipes of the water distribution system increased [lead] contents in drinking water of the capital city by up to two orders of magnitude over the natural background. The [lead] isotope record shows that the discontinuities in the pollution of the Tiber by lead are intimately entwined with the major issues affecting Late Antique Rome and its water distribution system.

- albedoa 2y ago...what? Did you mean to respond to me? I'm the one exposing the lie. There's a weird trend on here of karma chasers playing "gotcha" by posting rebuttals to things that literally nobody is claiming and hoping that we don't notice. It's fucking pathetic man. What would it take for you to reevaluate your life.

- deadbabe 2y agoYou’re confused. The original post you linked is literally downvoted all the way and has three comments with disagreeing sentiments. Water pipes made of lead are bad for you and were bad for the Roman Empire.
- albedoa 2y agoNobody is confused. If the downvotes caused you to show us who you are, then they performed a duty, just not the expected one or one that you are enjoying.
