Ah yes, behold my living room, which rests upon my septic field.... bask in mine stench. Honestly who though raw sewage being stored beneath loose fitting boards was a great idea
There were multiple people in the class ahead of mine in high school who graduated on crutches or worse due to a deck collapsing at a graduation party. Then a couple years later I was at a party when a deck predictably collapsed after being overloaded.. Friend saw it coming so we were just inside the door when it happened. We warned them. Moral of the story, decks are often built without proper paperwork and inspection and are not safe for large groups. Don't trust them.
Because I'm a nerd, this makes me think of bad D&D tavern battlemap designs. A lot of people draw multiple-story buildings without fully considering the Z dimension: They'll put privies (dry, unplumbed, shit-in-the-hole privies) directly above the middle of the DINING ROOM, or somebody's bedroom. They'll draw stone fireplaces without chimneys above them, or structural support below them. I even saw a downward spiral staircase INTERSECTING with a well full of water.
Yeah. The order of sections is sound from a storytelling perspective but the content is bonkers repetitive. Almost as if every title was an individual AI prompt...

"Who's that, then?"
"Dunno. Must be a king."
"Why?"
"He was sitting over a stone floor, so he hasn't got shit all over him."

he would be smiling for this to be historically accurate.

Not a historian, so sincerely asking: Why is that? Was it deliberate or did he dislike them and it was happenstance?

Then why did you search for it?

Being unprepared is one of the top causes of drowning in bloody diarrhea.

I enjoyed doing those things in Dwarf Fortress because torture is fun.

It's only a proper fortress if every bedroom has a floodgate into the magma network.
