Ok, but before pants, humans wore robes, kilts, loin cloths, all kinds of coverings besides just pants.

Also, fun fact, the reason why it's called a "pair" of pants is because each pant leg used to be a separate garment; they were held up together at the waist with a belt.

Which side does the penis and balls go in?

[-] Dookieman12@piefed.social 46 points 4 days ago

Neither. They go in the codpiece.

That's just an exhausting way to live. Toga makes more sense now.

A roughly semicircular cloth, between 12 and 20 feet (3.7 and 6.1 m)!

Exomis or tunic for me.

Having donned a toga several times for Halloween, I can tell you, they're surprisingly comfortable and delightfully breezy for the undercarriage.

One ball each side and your penis hangs out as a form of either pride or as a means of intimidating your enemies.

You assume they both go into the same one.

Fair. 'All three' would have been more correct. Throth.
