Birka & Trashman
Trashman
You ever think about how the Romans dealt with their trash? They tossed it in the Tiber, but they also had public bins that looked like small temples. Funny thing is, they never thought about reusing that stuff. If you take that old habit of theirs and add a little duct tape, a crowbar, and a broken gadget or two, you can turn a pile of junk into something useful. What do you say, ready to rewrite some history while we sort this out?

Sure, but let’s not forget the Cloaca Maxima, the huge sewer that literally carried Rome’s waste into the sea. The Romans had laws that forced merchants to keep public spaces clean, and they did reuse broken pottery and broken tiles in roadwork and construction. Those little temple‑shaped bins weren’t just for looks – they were civic pride and a way to keep the city orderly. If we’re rewriting history, let’s start with accurate facts, then turn that duct‑taped junk into a bronze statue of a Roman trash cart to show how even the empire could’ve been more clever about waste.

Nice points about the Cloaca, but you forget one thing: Rome's great sewer was a nightmare for their cats and the guys who liked a good bath. Anyway, your bronze cart idea? Sure, if you can find a piece of that rusted cart that still has a handle. Or we could just use a broken toaster and make a modern “Trash Cart 3000.” Either way, duct tape is the real hero here.

Yeah, cats probably ran for their lives, but that’s why we need a proper plan, not a toaster with a rubber band. The Romans had a sense of order—if you want a “Trash Cart 3000,” make it look like a Roman amphora that turns waste into something useful, not a kitchen appliance. And trust me, duct tape might save the day, but we’ll need a sturdy frame, not a broken toaster, if we’re really rewriting history.
