got bored earlier, and now i have an entire paper written in my head about the bubonic plague linking to the industrial revolution, due to the rat population in central london

#complete with citations and sources #it took 2 hours to get all the notes #and i've never had so much fun #history spin came back with a passion and i missed her #will i ever actually write said paper however ?#no #but there was a lack of government help w/ the vermin problem around the 1780's which ties into it too #and the lack of proper sewage disposal #and migration patterns were fun to look at for it #as well as the estimated rat population paired with estimated people population
