Has there been any serious research into 700 BCE buttock decorating? Asking for a friend.

They "are totally not incels, you just don't know them, they go to a different planet, they abduct me on the regular, so much you wouldn't believe, all the probes" ...

I’m wondering if Hesiod was referring to jewelry, fancy clothes, or tattoos.

[-] moistclump@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Butt plugs. The kind with the jewels. Or tails.

Something something sparta stuffing a fox under their tunic, I don't remember how it goes.

What kind of buttock decoration methods did they even have in 700bc?

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Grain.

The words are ancient and clear: never trust a big butt and a smile.

I always interpreted this as a willful mistranslation considering what a granary looks like.

[-] BetterDev@programming.dev 42 points 2 years ago

I think that's how they said "gold digger" ~2700 years ago

[-] thirdBreakfast@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Hesiod, Works and Days (370) or 373. Also Wikipedia.

Is grain code for seed?

[-] larvyde@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 years ago

Back in the day being rich means owning lots of land and harvesting lots of crops from it. Grain means money.

I don't think decorated butt means it's a big butt

[-] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

Watch out! She's after your seed!

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 3 points 2 years ago

Wait a second.... were there even buttocks in 700 BC?
