I think it's interesting how we have entirely obsolete species, Horses. For thousands of years we've needed millions of horses and people to feed and shoe them and in less than a hundred years that all ended.
Noah Smith
How will horses ever recover?

Its not listed, but here in the Philippines, there's a bunch of tribes here in the North who measure land borders of their states via "rests" (i.e. the amount of rest stops one makes on the way to the main village.). So they hired a strong dude to make land claims in tribal dispute meetings who can go for long strides without resting. I forgot what that man is called.

>An archimime is a chief buffoon or jester. Among the ancient Romans, archimimes were persons who imitated the manners, gestures, and speech both of the living and the deceased. At first, they were only employed in the theatre, but were afterwards admitted to their feasts, and at last to funerals. At funerals, archimimes walked behind the corpse, imitating the gestures and behaviors of the person being carried to the funeral pyre, as if they were still alive.

Can you imagine how infuriating it must have been to be one of the last eunuchs? Making the ultimate sacrifice for your career, then finding out if you just waited a few more years you'd still have a dick.
Brody Parker
In a capitalist it is weird that there aren't more people with valets. I mean personal assistants are basically gentlemen's gentlemen just as valets were, but there' less class about it.
In China they had to ban funeral strippers.
Not kidding.

The one for fan-wavers was also preferential of using deaf people since they would be near private conversations

Nigga, Eunuchry is often a desparate gamble.
In China for example, there are only 3 ways to achieve higher government/court position.
>Join military (dangerous)
>Join civil service bureaucracy (needs edumacation and you prolly cant afford it)
>Get snipped. (tfw no sons, but you get a comfy life as palace servant and weasel your way to power if you landed Harem duty)
Hence Militarymen and Civil Servants generally reviled Eunuchs. So did most of Chinese society save for some virtuous chaps.

>The Indian government's Union Ministry for Social Justice and Empowerment stated in 2003 that 676,000 people were employed in the manual collection of human waste in India. Social organizations have estimated that up to 1.3 million Indians collect such waste. Further, workers in the collection of human waste were confined to marriage amongst themselves, thereby leading to a waste-collecting caste, which passes its profession on from generation to generation.
