My suspension of disbelief is ruined completely.
See, now THIS is inaccurate.
Relaxation hadn't been invented at the time
Fuck's sake, not this braindead take again.
it is only braindead to call things wrong without any kind of argument or reason behind it
Is it not braindead to share pop culture myths that can be disproven by a single google search, or am I fucking condemned to forever see this shite along with such luminaries as "We only use 10% of our brain" and "Before Christopher Columbus, people thought the earth was flat"?
it's not a myth though. people in the medieval ages weren't working around the clock. When the cow is milked and the eggs are collected, people largely didn't have much to do outside of harvest season, where it actually was working around the clock.
Man, you don't get off that easy in modern first world farming, much less pre-modern subsistence farming.
People don't live in houses made out of literal shit because they're too busy inventing the jig three days of the week; nor do they starve and freeze for lack of material goods because they're just too lazy to go out and forage in their abundant spare time; nor do they cultivate extensive ectoparasite infestations because that's the latest fashion. Subsistence farmers don't work 'round the clock only because there is no fucking clock; people work from sunup to sundown, and often longer.
Come on baby, show us your big argument.
would be the modern equivalent of "so does hates" which doesn't make sense
"So, doth thou hate potatoes?" or "So, thou hates potatoes?"
Thou art no fun at watching movies.
Well its middle engliwh not old english. You can tell because youbunderstand it even a little.
This is early modern English.
Maybe, i lump all that 'cant be sure a normal american will understand but still doesnt take much work' era of english in together.
Potatoes are a New World crop. They didn't exist in medieval Europe.
And i was saying thats (corrected elsewyere to 'early modern') english, so, possibly intended by the writer, possibly not, that language indicates a time they could have had potatoes.
