Why does every year before the 1950s seem weird? they kinda have a creepy feeling about them
Actually classical roman and greek times don't but any time after that does. Is it just me?
Victorian times - creepy as fuck
Medieval times - creepy as fuck
The world back then just seems unsettling as fuck when I read about it and see old photos and shit

It's because history from that time is largely ignored sans some very important events that cannot be ignored
It's a feeling of mystery of things not necessarily unwritten but not read currently
Consider reading some era documents or people doing analysis of the eras involved
I'm currently reading a catholic examination of heresies from arianism to modernism and it's very interesting to hear the times being laid out as they happen in order to understand some of history's perspective

st anthony's fire was pretty common due to rye bread contamination and it's still common in 3rd world shit holes today. LSD is synthesized from ergot so yeah it's tripping on LSD while you get gangrene and die.

I've always found the dancing plague thing fascinating. Fuck knows what really happened to them but it's interesting to think on it.

Some sort of fungi got into their food/drink and made them trip balls

a tempting explanation but it doesn't stand up to scrutiny. ergot poisoning isn't something you dance around with, and no hallucinations were described as part of this event, which is the most common result of ergot outbreaks... moreover, ergot infestations and outbreaks are common only during the fall and winter due to the picky environments the fungus flourishes in, and this was in a July. Something else is afoot.

>>year before the 1950s
Idk anon, watching movies made before the late 80s make me depress for some reason, maybe it the lack of medical knowledge, maybe the cold war?
>>39612403
It's because it was hardcore. People didn't care about human life back then

Imagine how much more death you would have seen. Parents slaughtering animals, public executions, family members dying at home from And that's if you're lucky enough to not get conscripted into a war. I bet there was way more sexual assault too.
