You probably think you know who invented the toilet… But the real hero is Alexander Cumming. In 1775, he created the S-shaped pipe that stops sewer gases from rising back up into your home. That one simple invention? It’s the reason your bathroom doesn’t smell like a sewer. And almost nobody knows his name. #shorts #history #hiddenhistory #didyouknow #weirdhistory #historyfacts #engineering #ToiletFacts #publichealth #educational #shortshistory
