Aside from what others said, it could be that they’re kept as weapons, kinda like baseball bats.
Your Lord doesn’t allow you to have actual weapons, but nobody can stop you from buying farming tools, so you keep one by the door to fend off lycanthropes and Jehovah’s witnesses.
And/or lycantropic Jehovah’s Witnesses!
These are the worst…
Do you have time to talk about our saviour and howl at the moon?No, I prefer to listen to Bark at the Moon
My adhd is broken. I never have an interesting collection of questions to unleash on people; my brain just goes blank while I try to remember what a question is.
Completely depends on the situation and what I did before the question. But yeah most of the time I’m either trying so hard to focus on what we’re talking about that I don’t let other thoughts come up or I have way to many thoughts to keep track and they all vanish the moment I get asked a question.
It’s like asking “what are you thinking about?” - I’ll answer “nothing specific” because the honest answer would require to go back 30 minutes of thoughts so you get the context of why I’m even thinking all those things that seem unrelated otherwise.
This really hits home.
If you ask me to list things, I’ll struggle to find more than 1 example of whatever. Even stuff that I know so well I could do a ted talk on, but my brain just violently opposes enumerating stuff…
The secret is to not have a filter. Like any filter at all.
Comorbid autism helps.
“hold on let me activate the -tism… click okay so this is a story all about how my life got flipped turned upside down”
Well, it’s a spectrum :) I have 4 ADHD people at home, all diagnosed and medicated, but they all behave differently. One has too many questions, another one none… 🤷
Anyone who farms or otherwise needs an animal to pull things is going to need a pitchfork for hay, especially in the winter months.
Yes, an absolutely infuriating city dweller question. Even in this day and age, you work in a bakery and live in a village, you have a pitchfork. Maybe your daughter has a pony, maybe you have a grassed area that gets cut with a sickle.
A pitchfork is also useful for handling manure, handling plant waste, uprooting vegetables and loosening soil.
… and in the time period we’re referencing when discussing angry villagers nearly everyone is a farmer and those who have other occupations still do some casual farming on the side.
Modern mobs would have chainsaws, hedge trimmers, and in the US shotguns.
Medieval society was predominately agrarian, so everyone had pitchforks for gathering or dispersing straw. Livestock and grain were a facet of all lives, even in the largest cities.
conveniently georgia is showing us what modern mobs do, and it’s garbage bins and firework machine guns which is better than any fiction or historical account could ever be
Some of them have torches, but I would have to assume a guy just opens his shed and says: have at it to the mob so they can do their thing.
most of the villagers were farmers, thanks for coming to my ted talk
Thanks, Ted.
To move hay around to feed horses?
Alright, somebody explain to the invalids that aren’t me how discussing ADHD medications gets misconstrued into pitchfork talk
Do you have any questions?
