minus-squarenuko147@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·13 hours agoIt was easier than what came after, but riskier too (Farming required 12+ hour days). Also if you remove the workers rights that exist today, the modern human can not comprehend how hard survival was even 100 years ago.
minus-squaresurewhynotlem@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down2·14 hours agoEh… it’s hard now because we don’t have the patterns or training or tools anymore. Previous people were well prepared. Now, it was RISKY. People died all the time. But that doesn’t mean they worked 20 hour days.
minus-squareJax@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·5 hours ago… this is such a reductionist view of human survival that my head is beginning to hurt trying to come up with an answer to it.

minus-squaresurewhynotlem@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·10 hours agoYeah, we don’t have the tools for day to day survivalist life en masse. That’s why it feels hard. We also don’t have the tools to cut marble by hand using copper. Because why would we? They aren’t needed so no one is making them. Knowledge gets lost when it’s no longer relevant. This isn’t news.
