@frankrizzo7746Old soul here… for some reason this video reminds me of home. Maybe the best lives I’ve ever lived were in mid-evil times as I’ve always felt a special connection
@Meat131Maybe so, but they still peed in the corners.
@billquinn6224I was particularly struck by the ‘baker’s dozen’ — bakers adding an extra item to avoid fines for cheating.
@HistoricalCurrentsAgain the spiral staircase BS!
Disproven, unless all of English Heritage is wrong of course....
Some of these facts feel stranger than fiction. Imagine walking medieval streets and seeing rules, beliefs, and daily habits that would shock us today. But I wonder—if someone from that time looked at our world, what parts of modern life would blow their mind the same way?
