Everyone is all "Pharoah" this and "Anubis" that, I just want to cook over hot coals 
I love ancient tablets like this that show ancient people as just ordinary people but 4,000 years old
Humans have always acted like humans, and always will act like humans
Just a bunch of weird little guys
Ea-Nasir's tablet shows that humans have always been leaving 1 star Yelp reviews
Sorry boss, cant make it in today, gotta bottle my homebrew
Gotta have something to drink with Khonsu while he recovers from that scorpion bite
It's actually very sweet. This reminds me of the fact that ancient Sumer had a bar joke too.
There's an ancient cuneiform tablet that has a joke that's something like "here is something that has never happened: a wife who has never farted on her husband's lap"
So the first joke was probably a fart joke.
Post this on reddit and I give it about a year before we get retvrn to braap guys
Nah man was clearly pulling a sickie, there was no scorpion
Not really. They worked for the lord less than we do but housework and tending your own crops for your own sustenance was a shitload of work. Doing basic stuff like cooking or washing clothes was super labor intensive.
It depents of the medieval period and region. For example, Chris Wickham's work about Early Middle Ages show that, when the peasants where independent and not under a Lord or a Bishop (or other expresions of higher control), they just worked the bare minimum to produce for their own survival and then fuck off to do other things they wanted to do. Of course, in moments of crisis they could die from not having enough production. But, in a practical sense, they where more free than us.
On the other hand you have the "peasant's mode of production" but that's another (awesome!) discussion.
Have a nice day, comrade. And sorry for my bad english.
I'm skeptical about this, no fucking way you can mantain a farm working only one out of three days.
They didn't have space heaters and Nintendo Switch, everybody just sort of sat around being cold all day
The Scandinavian men spend all winter getting good at fashion and makeup then come they spring they were so hot they went to England and got girlfriends.
Their farming was alot lower intensity. When you don't have to manage the weird modern system things cna be easier. For example we grow tons of rice in the desert. That takes alot of hard work. They grew English plants in England. The plants want to grow there. Low intensity farming like is what powered the American empires so that could be both easy and productive
I'm also a little skeptical of that number but it's probably not super far off, just not evenly distributed - lots of work at certain times of year and not much to do at other times.
