The Peasant Life - Lemmy.World

Yeah I’m with you here, but like we have a lot less plagues.
Were you not here the last 3 years?
Eh, that was only one plague as opposed to smallpox, malaria, diphtheria, measles, tuberculosis, rheumatic fever, etc.

Many plagues were caused by lack of basic hygiene. Of course I wouldn’t want to miss modern medicine, but living back then with a lot less people around and equipped with todays knowledge would actually be pretty neat.

…but not with my teeth…i would have probably died already if not for modern ways of dealing with tooth-aches…

I am in a similar boat. Most of things i would be ok but two in modern standards small issues would render me definitely deaf, likely infertile and possibly dead.
