@TheUnaButters@HummingbirdRSO@yoggradon@errantdamsel134@hradzka I chose a year aligning with the Tollund bog man cus he's an example of how intestinal parasites were common place in pre-roman iron age Europe.
Even in Of Airs, Waters, and Places Hippocrates doesn't know about these parasites he says to boil certain water to remove odors.
@errantdamsel134@hradzka Not only could they boil water and have access to safe ground water via wells, but natural springs were regularly marked to let travelers know if the water was safe or not.
@totally_not_ace@CJSomething@hradzka Hence the adoption of French words for the meat form. English peasants kept the chickens, wealthy aristocrats of Norman persuasion (or larping as such) get the poultry. Peasants actually ate lots of fish, but chicken and pig wouldn't be unheard of by any means.
@KY11041@c80669@BellegardeSZN They literally can in America but choose to wear hijab. You are projecting your own sensibilities onto them and assuming they actually don't believe their own religion.
@KY11041@c80669@BellegardeSZN Burqas are exceedingly rare in the Maghreb as well it's mostly hijab so you don't know the first things about what you are talking about. Also religious mandate vs personal choice is a false dichotomy. They are believers so they choose to follow the ordinances of their faith.
@c80669@BellegardeSZN What an asinine thing to say, no one is talking about a single man doing anything. But are you saying they should be conquered and forced to stop being Muslim just not by you alone?
