    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.

    You may proclaim "I am a Saxon" and a squire will protest "So thou doth revile the Normans?"

    Pray, heretic, didst I stutter?

    Exactly! I think we can both find common ground somewhere in the ice cream tub.

    Here's a modern one.

    A woman with a penis is absurd.

    Stop spreading transphobia!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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>

    I visited Reddit again this week. So much worse than when I left two years ago.
