@deprecated_ii I am kind of sick of this meme of "only 150 days of work." This is wrongly understood. Those 150 days were work for the lord of the land. Sure, you had the rest of the days where you did not need to serve the lord, but you still had your own personal work to do. And no, it would not be the simple chores that we have, but quite a bit more work as well.
Not to say that the bugman replying is living a genuinely fulfilling life, but the infographic is only half the story.
@deprecated_ii The point I am trying to make is that you cannot make a straight line comparison of "150 days of work" versus our work days. I don't think most people arguing how "peasants had it better" would be willing to trade their current life for that of a medieval peasant. They would soon find out that the meme is not quite telling the whole story.
Electronic doodads and antibiotics don't really compensate for not being able to start a family, or earn a decent living no matter how hard you work.
