What Did Medieval Peasants Know?
The internet has become strangely nostalgic for life in the Middle Ages.

Unfortunately r/badhistory roasts bad youtubers x10 harder than this and it still has not stopped Extra History from existing. Having no shame is a fundamental aspect of being a bad video essayist

As the person who wrote the original takedown of Tartaria some five years ago (www.reddit.com/r/badhistory...), what has always amused me is just how *flexible* the Tartaria conspiracy is, bringing together tendentious readings of Early Modern texts + maps with early 20thC photography.

I like that all the reddit hate info on mother Teresa is used within reddit and outside reddit(esp on YouTube), but this post is conveniently ignored all the time www.reddit.com/r/badhistory....
It's been 5 years & still the old tropes are repeated.

Also a false statement, most stats summing to 78 exclude accidental death and other health issues. www.reddit.com/r/badhistory...
No, average human life expectancy in the past was not "60-70 years if you discount infant mortality"

There’s plenty of myth making and general badhistory on the Palestinian side. Most of Jewish history gets misrepresented pretty consistently tbh

Superficial knowledge created through superficial research/research methods leads to #badhistory and ain’t nobody got time for that. And, reading it is tedious.
Didn't somebody do this with C19th newspapers to claim that 'abortion' didn't exist then? (flagrant ignorance of the terms used - 'illegal operation' etc - not to mention overlooking entirely the ads for 'female pills' to 'relieve obstuctions'.)
Seems to me an increasing amount of bad history is based on the idea that you can just keyword search terms (esp. 21st c. terms) to locate origins & relative usage. It's totally unimaginable to these keyword searchers why folks in the past would use diff terms or not mention common practice at all.
