Do you think getting high is a modern invention? Think again. Medieval folks were getting high centuries ago — no LED lights, rave music, or DJ. Just a handful of forest herbs and absolute faith that a gnarled root might help you meet God or, at the very least, chat with a singing chicken.

We're not strolling through a grand castle or charging into a bloody battlefield tonight. Instead, we're tiptoeing into a realm few dare to mention—but everyone's smelled: the world of medieval personal hygiene. A place where bathwater was passed down like a family heirloom, where a louse could outlive the chicken in your kitchen, and where, if someone smelled nice, you might want to call a priest—because that could be a sign of demonic possession

Do you think modern winters are harsh? That's only because you've never experienced a medieval peasant's winter. Imagine waking up on a January morning to find your drinking water frozen solid, your firewood long gone since last night, and the cold creeping into your dreams. No heating. No supermarket. And no reason to get out of bed—except, if you don't start a fire, you'll freeze.

Tonight, we’re putting aside all modern comforts—no Wi-Fi, no coffee, no heated blankets—to step into a world where your alarm clock is a rooster, and your pillow might be a turnip.
Welcome to the simple, hay-scented life of a medieval peasant.
If you’ve ever complained about slow internet or soggy fries, let me be honest: you wouldn’t last a day here. Seriously—you’d tap out before lunch, somewhere between the cold porridge and sharing a straw mattress with three cousins and a goat.

Tonight, we begin with a childhood story that's both surprising and strangely heartwarming—about growing up among sparks, smoke, and a father whose idea of affection was handing you a pair of iron tongs before breakfast.
You weren't born with a silver spoon in your mouth—you came into the world with an iron hammer and a peculiar smell that never quite washes off.
While other kids got bedtime stories,
you got lessons on how to keep the coals burning just right.
And honestly? That was just everyday life.

If your idea of “romantic” includes unbathed bachelors offering turnips instead of roses and love letters that must pass through three gatekeepers and one very confused goose...
Welcome to the Middle Ages. You have no phone, no deodorant, no memes—and love? Love is a full-contact sport involving your parents, your priest, and occasionally the blacksmith—whose hammer is not just symbolic.

Back then, mornings didn’t start with sunshine and birdsong—they began with freezing toes, mysterious bites, and barley porridge so thick it could double as wallpaper glue.
That’s right, welcome to the year 1325—where there’s no electricity, no running water, and no concept of personal space!
Are you ready to uncover the secrets of the past? Everything awaits you, from one-of-a-kind meals to the lurking dangers in the shadows.
