Fucking castles, duh

Trebuchets, which btw are far superior to catapults.

That's not cool man...

They said medieval, that is way too late.

I just really like walking around eating giant turkey legs.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

This has never been forbidden.

[–] Catsrules@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

Magic of course.

Trump already brought that one back.

Inns, especially if they've got an enormous pot of perpetual stew, and people are giving out quests.

Still is, according to legend

[–] DoYouNot@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago (3 children)

That sounds an awful lot like restaurants and jobs...

None of you dumb fuckers has any idea what "medieval" means.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 14 hours ago

I’ve been to Medieval Times I know exactly what it means. Is say we bring back eating big drumsticks in public.

Child labor.

Oh, wait…

Peasant uprisings, to take down the kings of today.

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Medieval peasant uprisings were inevitably put down and the perpetrators brutally massacred, and also their families.

The first successful uprisings weren't until the 1800s.

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords as a basis for a system of government.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemm.ee 62 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Strange woman here, anyone knows where I can buy swords in bulk, preferably with a pond thrown in? It's for... a personal project.

Welcome to the internet.

Have a look around.

Everybody needs guillotine.. That says something!

I recently got into armored combat so, knights. If we're gonna kill each other, let's at least be civilized!

[–] venoft@lemmy.world 39 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (6 children)

The stockade is something we desperately need. Some people need to learn how other people see them. Driving 50mph in a living area, stockade. Making a lot of noise at 6 in the morning, believe it or not, stockade. Being a racist cunt, straight to the stockade.

My non-joke answer is apprenticeship. Kids could actually learn how to do a valuable job rather than graduating from high school with almost no useful skills.

Landsknecht fashion.

[–] Toribor@corndog.social 56 points 2 days ago (11 children)

Cloaks would be cool. I know that's more of a fantasy aesthetic than a medieval one but they are cool enough that it shouldn't matter.

Dueling. I say we use it as an option to reply to a civil lawsuit. Able bodied adults only, no proxies, and if you refuse then you have to do a trial and they can weigh your refusal as evidence against you.

Swords only, no guns.
