people today with access to more raw information than any other period: the earth is flat
german artilleryman in 1916, who barely washes his own ass: I need to account for the curvature and rotation of the earth when plotting my firing plans
people today with access to more raw information than any other period: I wonāt wear a cloth mask to stop a respiratory disease because a radio show host told me it makes you an emasculated cuck to follow scientific guidelines, and by god I need to eat at this shitty American fast food restaurant *dies a preventable, slow and painful death*
German plague doctor in 1646, who absolutely did not wash his ass: I will cover my eyes, my mouth, and mask the scents that I smell, I will coat my clothing in wax and examine patients from afar with a stick. I know not how the plague is spread, but if I block every transmission route, I can save myself and stave off the chance of being infected *does not die despite being knee deep in a vastly more contagious and hyperlethal disease*
