The Palace of Versailles — The Amazing 67,000 Square Meter Palace Built Without One Single Place to Poop
Servants and aristocratic visitors often relieved themselves on back stairs, along the darkened corridors, or in any out-of-the-way place. The writer Horace Walpole agreed with other English visitors to Versailles that the approach was magnificent but the squalor inside was unspeakable. —James M. Anderson in Daily Life During The French Revolution.
—>A gigantic machine was built in 1684 to move water through pipes into...the fountains and not the palace itself. —>144 years later, a toilet was installed...for the king and queen only. —>Somehow, for some reason, the architect designed a building and "forgot" the inhabitants need to poop.

Pavel Durov, Telegram's CEO, is known as "the Russian Mark Zuckerberg," for co-founding VKontakte, which is Russian for "in touch," a Facebook imitator that became the country's most popular social networking site. But Telegram says people want to keep their chat history when they get a new phone, and they like having a data backup that will sync their chats across multiple devices. And that is why they let people choose whether they want their messages to be encrypted or not. When not turned on, though, chats are stored on Telegram's services, which are scattered throughout the world. But it has "disclosed 0 bytes of user data to third parties, including governments," Telegram states on its website. Telegram, which does little policing of its content, has also became a hub for Russian propaganda and misinformation. Many pro-Kremlin channels have become popular, alongside accounts of journalists and other independent observers. He said that since his platform does not have the capacity to check all channels, it may restrict some in Russia and Ukraine "for the duration of the conflict," but then reversed course hours later after many users complained that Telegram was an important source of information.
