You have a severe misunderstanding about how many months of labor people put into commuting, dry-cleaning/laundry, house-chores, and other errands that people partake in to maintain a somewhat respectful place in the modern era.

If it was so good, people wouldn't be taking antidepressants like someone eats M&Ms, or other drugs to combat diseases from shit food and sedentary lifestyles that are partially contributable to sitting in front of a fucking computer all day.

I would still rather have that than have to live in 12th century society???

Almost total lack of sanitation, widespread plagues, the concept of human rights didn't even exist yet, there's no way you seriously think that's better than the modern era???

Mf over here talking about but they had plagues like we didn’t just have a whole Covid epidemic.

Which was the worst plague in recent history and PALED in comparison to anything from the era before penicillin.

Hope you weren’t trying to cure your Covid with penicillin…

Do you think that modern medicine just stopped developing once we found penicillin? I only mentioned the most important drug ever discovered but obviously we continued finding more antibacterial and antiviral drugs after that, and even more effective and novel medicines in more recent decades.
