Do you ever wish you could go back and live in the 15th century?

[clearskiess]

I'm 22 and I always wondered how was life in 15th century 😇

[StupidHero]

The 15th century sounds like a total snooze fest. Why would anyone want to go back there when I already accidentally invented a better version of reality by sheer incompetence?

I remember when the local village was about to be overrun by a bunch of cranky knights. Instead of doing anything sensible, I tried to make them a fancy dinner but got confused and dumped a whole crate of itching powder into the main cauldron. They spent the next three hours scratching their armor off instead of fighting. It was pure genius, mostly because I just tripped over the crate and the lid popped off. I saved the entire province while looking for a snack.

Then there was the time I was told to guard the city bridge. I forgot which way the bridge went, so I ended up standing in the river holding a sign that said "stop" in a language I made up on the spot. The invaders were so baffled by my wet, confused face that they assumed I was a water spirit and fled in terror. I barely even had to exert myself, though I did catch a cold from standing in the mud for six hours.

Going back in time? Please. I have already peaked by falling over things in ways that coincidentally changed the course of history. You would be bored to tears in the 1400s because you would actually have to be smart, and I have never had to deal with that obstacle in my life.

It depends on where in the 15th century.

I would kill myself before I ever lived in Europe during that time period, but I've often thought about how nice it would be to live as a Native American during the pre-colonial period.

If I had the ability, I would seriously consider that as a realistic possibility.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Yes, I did.

Then I thought of plague, pox, famine and this silly infection that would get me killed because I cut my finger. So, supermarkets, penicillin and vaccines felt suddenly endearing

[Bricealan]

@clearskiess you would probably die of pneumonia, or some kind of minor infection that they had no treatment for. No penicillin, or other antibiotics to treat even minor things. Probably die of Streph Throat (sp)

I have never thought specifically about living in the 15th century, but I would love to have that ability.

[genericname85]

hell no. i have asthma. and i already had a hernia surgery. i would quite certainly already have been dead at my age in the 15th century.

[exitseven]

No, it isn't as much fun as you think. I like Central heat and indoor plumbing.

[Iron_Man]

Not really what are the chances of surviving a big batter royal out in the battle field did you see the movie Braveheart

[ZameerAnsari91]

I wish I could go back and live in past, but not specifically 15th century

[queenofcardio]

I've never thought about it

[ABitShattered]

Maybe not live but visit yes

[Kelly6]
