Medieval
Potatoes
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.
Come on baby, show us your big argument.
So doth hates potatoes
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.
Parody of:
I kinda hate waffles. They got me dead to rights!
So you enjoy manslaughter???
It’s a lot less shrieky than womens laughter.
I swear people on lemmy downvote first and think never.
It grates and wears. The ubiquitous stupidity. I swear the average age is 13.
I find myself habitually dumbing my words down here. It is molding my discourse.
You may proclaim “I am a Saxon” and a squire will protest “So thou doth revile the Normans?”
Pray, heretic, didst I stutter?
I’m using this.
Had this issue recently.
“Vanilla is good.”
“What? No, chocolate is good.”
“Both can be good. There doesn’t have to be a competition.”
“NO! Either chocolate is good or you hate chocolate!”
Exactly! I think we can both find common ground somewhere in the ice cream tub.
I upvoted you for solidarity but strawberry is my favorite flavor so also how dare you
Banana-kiwi-cashew
Fake banana tastes disgusting but kiwi is delicious
Fake banana tastes the way bananas used to taste back in the day, before they were all cavendish.
I know, and thank God they got rid of those things
Where the neopolitan lovers at?
They can go right to hell! /S
Presumably /s is a markup tag meaning “end of strawberries”.
I didn’t believe opinions could be wrong until I saw this
Here’s a modern one.
A woman with a penis is absurd.
Stop spreading transphobia!
stop spreading transphobia you piece of shit.
Exactly.
The people who think this isn’t the case for the vast majority of humanity still have some growing up to do themselves.
… most people are fucking dumb, yo.
it has nothing to do with being dumb. people can be extremely dumb and still be friendly. this is just behavior that’s looking for a fight.
Being friendly and making illogical assumptions about statements are largely unrelated things.
Taking someone in good faith does not imply words and especially phrasing will be correctly interpreted.
One could argue that dumb implies lower taste. A smarty seeks conversation, a dummy seeks fights. Consider popular videogames.
i think what you call “dumb” is what i call “angry”. people today are hella angry, yeah. which i guess is a particular thing of modern times and used to be different in the medieval ages, say. anger is not the normal state of humans in general. people nowadays are angry about a lot of things because of stimulus overload, IMHO.
It is waay too accurate.
<rant> In this land, in this time, people look for conflict. Even the most minor incident can bring you into trouble. People try to see that most unfavorable interpretation in anything. People truly express their demise and depression in the most crude of ways imaginable. </rant>
What are you talking about?! You’re just wrong! Minor incidents don’t magically get people in trouble. They’re bad people to the core. We want to take them down because it’s the right thing to do. ~<In case it’s not obvious I was trying to be sarcastic>~
aww you’re cute when you’re trying to sound angry :) i know you’re a nice person all the way down :-)

No they don’t! »:(
me neither :) but i’ve seen lots of people do :/
The comment: loosely held opinion shared for the enjoyment of casual internet debate

Potato rolls ftw
Why dost thou harbor this vast hatred for wheat?
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻)
Which are delicious! One of my favorite style rolls!
Same!! It’s my go-to for grilling season, but it’s also versatile enough to cover lots more ground 🥪
Jesse Cox, ist that thou?
