Why You Wouldn't Survive a Day in the Middle Ages: The Brutal Truth 🏰💀🦴

Forget the romanticized castles and chivalrous knights you’ve seen in Hollywood. 🏰⚔️ The reality of 1325 was far darker, grimmer, and... much smellier. 🕯️📜 In this episode, we take an immersive journey back to the Middle Ages to see if a modern person could survive even 24 hours in the 14th century. ⏳ We dive deep into a world where your bed is a biological hazard, the morning toilet is a public event, and medicine feels more like a ritual of torture. 🪰 You’ll discover why everyone drank beer for breakfast, what the streets of thriving cities actually smelled like, and why a simple splinter could lead directly to your funeral. ⚰️ In this episode: 👇 • 🛏️ The Morning Routine: Why your mattress was crawling and what your "cozy" hut really smelled like. • 🚽 Hygiene Unfiltered: The brutal truth about medieval toilets and the warning cry of "Gardyloo!" • 🥣 The Survival Diet: Why pottage simmered for weeks and why the bread could literally break your teeth. • 👨‍🌾 A Peasant’s Life: What a workday looked like when being 22 meant you were already middle-aged. • 🩸 Medicine & Disease: Why the barber reached for leeches and why medieval dentistry was a waking nightmare. This journey will make you truly appreciate your modern comforts: clean water, a soft bed, and antibiotics. 🧼✨ Are you ready to face the real past face-to-face?
