I wish we had more insight into what people actually looked like during the Medieval era. I love the medieval films of Roger Cormac as much as anybody (The Masque of the Red Death was my favorite Halloween 2023 watch), but unfortunately, 1960s movies probably do not represent the Dark Ages uber accurately. We don't have as much of a record of what people in the Middle Ages dressed in or valued in appearances when compared with the Renaissance or other later eras. The art is less realistic, so we have to use our imaginations a bit. Maybe in the Middle Ages, babies actually were that ugly! Maybe knights were as puny and skinny as the armor at museums suggests! Maybe everybody walked around with a yellow pallor on their faces that made them look like they were on the verge of death! We can't know for certain what medieval citizens looked like, but we can certainly pontificate upon their long-gone existence with some medieval memes.

    Darkness Lord @sabatonfan69 If you ever saw a picture of a knight and thought "cool knight!” I'm gonna need you to take a step back & check your privilege. Knights were armored thugs who withheld the status quo by serving lords & killing peasants. And the swords they carry? Yup. They're used to cut people. 2:22 PM 2023-09-25 46.1K Views 119 Reposts 7 Quotes 1,430 Likes 24 Bookmarks

    Since hotdogs are basically just puree'd meat stuffed inside an animal intestine, a hotdog doesn't stop being a hotdog even after we eat it, we just become the new hotdog casings and that makes us (in a way) hotdogs as well - St Thomas Aquinas
