@Iðunn I run adblock but you are right, it didnt occur to me that ads are a thing.

They run ads every 5 minutes. Greedy AF

@@skiptoacceptancemdarlin Adblock is a thing. A thing that blocks ads. Hence the name. Adblock.

Youd' never see anything like this on MSM, EVER. Throw out the TV.

Thank you for this! I'm reading how to be a Tudor!

@@evaniathompson3342I’ve reread that several times; I love it!

I love Ruth

She is hands down my favorite historian and I watch everything she does. Cheers

Too bad most people don't think like that today. They only care about their cell phones and being entitled.

Gratitude is never corny. A good virtue.

That's the correct answer. We live off the sweat and sacrifice of those that came before us.

And no time for looney Vegans!

It’s not corny we don’t know what hard work actually is anymore these ppl worked hard labor from eyes open to close everything is at our fingertips order on Amazon or anything online or get in r cars and drive anywhere machines pretty much can do anything for us and we live longer we work hard in other ways today but nothing is easy I thank our past ppls to because of they never figured all these things out we’d still be wearing leaves 😂

Maybe we are lacking a solid sense of purpose. We do have it much to easy in many ways.

Difference is you worked mostly for yourself and you saw the fruits of your labor. Not a boss who barely knows your name. And you could survive the whole year on what you worked during a few months.

If you don’t work- you don’t eat. Motivation.

​@@ShortStuffMegs21 Have you ever heard of tenant farmers? How much do you think the farmers working those farms actually got beyond enough resources to survive a season? The serfs enslaved under feudalism only ever got the absolute bare minimum to survive while the feudal lords, who definitely did not know their names, kept the profits and surplus value and yet you act like these people lived lives of plenty and excess instead of back breaking subsistence farming where only 0.001% of the population actually saw the fruits of that labor.

Which village are you referring to ? I live in a small village in Hampshirite county UK .

‘Pure’. That’s hilarious. How much ‘pure’ manual labor have you done?

Sounds ideal!

​@@debbylou5729I've done alot of manual labor. I'd give anything to live in a small village and grow my own food.

@@hyperboreanforeskin that’s what every safe first world person says. Gonna grow your own shoes, too?

And not a single innovative item present. No cell phones, internet, food processing, clothing manufacturing, no modern cons at all. It boggles the mind how we have made it to the 21st century relatively intact as a species.

Yup. Bet they had a much higher appreciation for the majority of the things we take for granted as "just there."

Absolutely! People tend to "other" those who lived in the past, as if they aren't the same as us in so many, many ways. Also: *were ^_^

Makes me quite jealous to be honest. But then I've always figured I was born in the wrong decade.

I laughed how Ruth’s persona slipped when the eel wriggled around her feet in the boat LOL. They do a marvelous job at their tasks when you figure the are modern folks.

They were one of the earliest pastoral inventions of humankind, they are so old every single culture with access to fish have some version of the fish trap. Humans are the perfect engineer race

​@maaingan It's always awed me to an extent that people living thousands of miles away could be having the same ideas and working on the same things at the same time.

How to think that all of these tools and traps and clothes and everything are handmade out of organic material, and how little of it survives to this day because it was all perfectly biodegradable. We humans really fucked up with the invent of plastics

You’re 100% correct

Right

Yes. I looked through my family records and noticed I have relatives who lived into their 70s and 80s regularly. There were quite a few that lived until amost 100 (those were Bavarian. One was a grandmother who lived to 103).

That is the average if that’s what they always are talking about. If not then they should change the wording. Like life expectancy or something

@Yankee The Rebel -- In 1900, the average life expectancy in America was age 47. Proper hygiene and nutrition improved health and wellness, but life expectancy would not increase beyond age 47 until medical practices and medicines achieved (1) women surviving child birthing, and (2) children surviving to age 10. Therefore, in 1900 only 4-5% of humankind lived beyond 60+ years. The first generation to grow older together beyond age 60 , was the GI generation (born 1901-1924), Silent generation (born 1925-1945), and then, the Boom generation (1946-1960). These three older generations comprise the older population who either have or are attaining 85+ years together (94-95%) instead of the historic 4-5% elders that society rarely saw in public. No doubt, the Covid19 vaccines reversed the progress mankind achieved. Nevertheless, the world is experiencing a phenomenon never recorded in history. You can find all this data by launching GOOGLE SCHOLAR and choosing search words to bring a plethora of scientific research on these topics. Enjoy! :-)

Peasant trades would have included millers, carpenters, blacksmiths, goldsmiths, shoemakers, cobblers, chandlers (candle makers), coopers (barrel makers), tanners, tinkers, potters, weavers, bakers, fletchers (arrow-makers), book-binders, masons, and many others….. So I guess you could say they had quiet A LOT of talent 👍👍👍😊😊😊

Online or in person? Unfortunately not the deep history we have in the US.

In my day we used xeroxes but I went to grad school in Ireland and England. The first time I was handed a 1500 year old manuscript was awe inspiring.

This was in 2012….. not 2008 lol

@@StiglerPanther your comment confuses me. I never said it was 2008 🤔

@@LonelyOutlaw no, but you make “10 years ago” sound like 20 years ago. They had good cameras and technology back in 2012 lol

@@StiglerPanther I don't know what world you live in but 10 years is a long time when it comes to film quality.

I would also say, for being filmed in 1500 it's spot on!

Humans have broken rules to eat.

How to tell you live in todays world. You’d be amazed at how amazingly effective the death penalty is. We need to bring it back

@@debbylou5729 it's literally not effective at all. It's horribly expensive, far more expensive than feeding housing and clothing someone for life in prison, and it's been proven by study after study to not be a deterrent against crime. The only thing it does is satisfy the vengeful superficial thoughts of those who can't think critically about the societal causes of crime and understand killing people who commit crime changes absolutely nothing.

@@scz1770 no, it hasn’t and people are too stupid to admit they’ve been had. The death penalty was cheap. ‘Progressives’ would hold up the proceedings, file again and again causing court costs and prisoner care to sky rocket. They are all placed in private cells during the 8-20 year ordeal. It’s 100% effective. The recidivism rate is ‘0’. The revolving door and loss of life and goods skyrockets because of parole. My dad worked in Saudi Arabia. He discovered he had lost his wallet and had to wait a couple of days to get back to Riyadh. He went back to the shop and asked. Everyone just shook their heads. NOT ONE PERSON HAD TOUCHED IT. It was EXACTLY where he dropped it. You know why? If you’re caught stealing, they take you out back and cut off your hand. NOT ONE PERSON would risk it by picking it up and having someone think they were stealing it. Want some more fun facts about libs? Your sorry little argument that death is ‘cruel and unusual punishment’. Then, since they’ve never been smart or remotely intelligent, they can’t just stop there. No…..they have to keep on blathering. How many have said, ‘being locked up for life is far more horrible’. Really. REALLY. So it’s MORE cruel and unusual than killing? And there you are…a product of that circular thinking

@@debbylou5729 the way you don't understand anything but keep talking is shocking. You're saying physical mutilation by the state is an acceptable punishment, which 1) it isn't and 2) isn't a relevant anecdote regarding the death penalty because that doesn't even involve the death penalty. And yeah, prisons are inhumane, and if we actually invested in social programs to reduce crime and recidivism like Scandinavian countries do with social safety jets and prisons that treated people like human beings, then we would be using incarceration at far lower rates. You have zero self awareness and zero critical thinking skills and you should in no way be actually talking about this topic.

it's actually not entirely free, they do have a subscription library and they upload stuff here in the hopes you might cross over. If you really like what you see, you should throw them a few bucks. Becuase journalism is going to completely die out unless people make an effort to pay for this content. It takes a lot of work.

​@@globaladdictI'd like to think a few of us hard-core knowledge addicts would keep them in business for a good while.

Yes! Imagine just being able to go and live like this for three months, even a month. Just pure relaxation.

It looks like such an interesting and fun skill. I know I don't have the capital to start trying tho. 😂

@@ShortStuffMegs21 It's truly a labor of love and very satisfying to see it come together. You could start out on a smaller scale and make jewelry with glass scraps, then move up to making simple sun catchers. Dichroic glass is also fun. You can get a microwave kiln in a kit with the other essentials for around $100 bucks or less. I've even incorporated sea glass into some of my pieces. The only catch with jewelry is that you'd need to use lead free solder since it would likely be in contact with skin and that solder is more costly (especially if it's silver, but you can also use pewter). But, alas, I understand. I have WAY too many hobbies myself without the capital or space to take on any more new ones. Lol

Are you on drugs

you could find a group or two to do a few things like this or similar.

It's mind bogging,they were brilliant

What are you absolutely certain you don't want to interrupt your medieval Pig farming with a Peloton class?😅

Wasn't really anywhere for them to go but over to the mainland. Seemingly overnight they had to change the values and teachings they'd have their entire lives while watching places they held in great reverence being dismantled.

I've been trying to pick up bits of knowledge like this. I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. 🤷‍♀️ It boggled my mind earlier on the Clock app that there was a video explaining how a kerosene lamp worked. Never crossed my mind that people wouldn't know what it was or how to use it.

It's the pig, isn't it? :(

Peter Guinn. I REALLY like him.

This is where investing in universities comes into play. And letting people study shit that isn't necessarily an essential major. All the shit that makes conservitards lose their minds lol.

Pretty sure many of those nations you're talking about are still using much of their passed down knowledge.
