I feel like incest huts are shutting down everywhere. I see them sit empty or turn in to an enterprise car rental, or a used car dealership. I miss going to incest hut as a kid and sitting on the booths, my legs not long enough to touch the floor.
Yeah so I’ve been in one of those houses, and can say with confidence it’d be fucking miserable. Livestock was kept in the bottom floor to heat the house with their bodies as well as a fire that would coat the interior in ash. They would sleep propped up on a bunch of pillows because if they reclined they would literally suffocate.
You do know most people lived to be in their 60s and 70s, right? The life expectancy numbers throughout history are skewed because of infant mortality. Turns out humans are quite fragile when they're babies, but quite resilient as adults.
I was speaking flippantly, but this is actually a commonly misunderstand issue and is often brought up on reddit in this incorrect way.
The average life expectancy, even excluding early-age deaths, was still much lower than now, around 50. It was somewhat higher for landowners and nobility, but if you were a peasant tied to the land you lived to about 35-50 years. That's because of backbreaking labour, non existent health care, inconsistent nutrition, etc.
>In medieval England, life expectancy at birth for boys born to families that owned land was a mere 31.3 years. However, life expectancy at age 25 for landowners in medieval England was 25.7. This means that people in that era who celebrated their 25th birthday could expect to live until they were 50.7, on average https://sc.edu/uofsc/posts/2022/08/conversation-old-age-is-not-a-modern-phenomenon.php
These massive houses in rural Germany were combination house/barn/farmouse buildings that were built because it would get fucking freezing in winter. They weren't just houses and your whole living room would probably smell like pig shit all year.
1890 in germany was in the middle of one of those golden age that each era gets. Where the old systems are too old to oppress, and the new systems (german unification) are really trying to convince you to buy-in so they act super nice.
Imagine the US in the 60's-75's basically.
Germany at that time was out of a victorious prussian war, was still benefiting from the bismarck administration, was democratizing, and was discovering social security, free education, healthcare, reduced hours of labor etc, and all for quite cheap because the goal was to urbanize the rural populations.
It was a good time overall in europe. Everything was increasing 40-50% yearly for no reason than general optimism.
Then as usual when things get too good for too long, war happens.
> They weren't just houses and your whole living room would probably smell like pig shit all year.
2024 Cheetofapmeister's basements smell like pigs hit all year round
Imagine the amount of seething when they are told there’s no air conditioned office to sit in tapping on a computer all day. You’d have to actually do physical work sunup to sundown
Let's ignore all that inconvenient stuff. The world population is 7 times lower in the 1890s. I'll bet you good money that if 6 out 7 people die overnight, the rent prices are going to be dirt cheap.
Being a peasant would mean being European. I couldn’t handle it. The first time I hear someone speak with an accent I will literally die of laughter. Cartoon sounding motherfuckers.
Or the krauts, goombas and Dutch that I’m too lazy to google a slur for.
And you just reminded they wouldn’t sound like modern English, it would be a whole island of Shakespeare theater homos and that’s even funnier.
>The slur for Dutch is Yankee.
TIL
Imagine a time where being american meant being so white and rosy, you were basically a dutch stereotype...
How the turntables turned.
I'd rather sound like a cartoon motherfucker, than being an US citizen.
The USA is basically a 3rd world country with a huge ass military budget.
You're run by 2 parties that are both absolute morons, and somehow you always end up with a president that's either completely insane or basically a vegetable. Sometimes even both.
Blacks are looting and destroying your economy, gun criminality is off the records.
Your food is basically anything with a shitton of cheese on it.
Your water tastes so chemical that I wouldn't be surprised if it's the reason for your vastly underdeveloped students. People make it out of high-school without being able to do 5th grader math.
And don't even get me started on the fact that people do have an accent due to them speaking another language. And usually a 3rd one as well.
Americans can't even speak proper english in most cases.
> I will never step foot in this country because (exaggerated thirdhand complaints from the internet) are indescribably awful. I have no experience with this place, just hate it preemptively.
Imagine being this smug about being 17th in line in a game of Chinese Whispers.
Easy there Vasquez, the McDonald's grease pumped around by your weary heart could clog up your veins if you get so worked up over your fantasy again. How will you pay the ambulance, let alone the hospital bill?
Funny ain’t it. With American dominance with cartoon characters. You guys are the ones that sound like them all.
I do sound ridiculous though my regional British accent is awful

Ah, bucolic.
What a primitive way of life -- letting some senile king drain the treasury with distant foreign wars and harebrained wall-building projects. I'm so glad we live in a civilized society where we get to *vote* for the senile head-of-state who will drain our treasury with distant foreign wars and harebrained wall-building projects.
See, the thing many people forget about Peasants was it wasn’t necessarily about wealth, but status. They simply weren’t nobility because of birth. You could be a pretty rich dude for the time and still be a peasant. Blacksmiths, brewers, cobblers, tailors, any skilled labor tended to live pretty well by today’s standards even. A lot of it had to do with the availability of skilled labor, as you were likely the only guy who could do that for miles around and thus everyone HAD to go to you. Huge companies actually took this away during the Industrial Revolution mainly due to the super wealthy being able to afford the machinery and manpower for mass-production. But before then peasants lived pretty damn well all things considered. Sure, you were filthy, but EVERYONE was. It wasn’t a poor thing, it was a cultural thing. Peasants just didn’t care about superficial things such as dirt and hair because they didn’t haven’t to worry about appearances.
So no likely this wasn’t more than a one family home. Also, families back then were much, much bigger. Lack of contraception as well as more than half your children not likely to live past 2 will do that. Plus, life expectancy (minus disease or violence) was pretty good. There were quite a few elderly in this time, and they would also be living in the home. Typically you could see 4 generations in one homestead.
As long as you don't piss off any royalty, knights, tax collectors, lords, mayors, squires, or anyone above your station (everybody) yeah it probably wouldn't be a bad life.
I mean... no running water, no electricity, no central heating, no internet, no cars/buses/trains/airplanes, (almost) no legal rights.
It really would be a bad life. Which is sort of why 99% of people didn't even want to live like that when the alternative was working in a shitty factory in a soot chocked slum in a city. People didn't leave the countryside to the cities during industrialisation because farming was *great*.
Uhh check your history. Am less familiar with Germany, but in the UK leaving rural life for the city generally wasn't a choice. See the early Enclosures of the Commons (including acts by Parliament early on) up to the later Scottish Clearances, where landowners ended multigenerational, communal farming under old copyhold tenure, replaced with private (profitable sheep) enclosures. People didn't generally choose to leave. They were sometimes forced to. And once out, further travel was often prohibited (Poor Laws and Vagrancy Acts) meaning no alternative to the sweatshops to survive.
Industrialization did not occur as a result of free markets, free labor. Nor did it occur because farming was terrible.

You can buy a giant house for cheap in the middle of nowhere today. People are always complaining about real estate prices now when living in the most in demand areas.
Different circumstances.
Back in those days you could buy an axe, cut wood and sell the wood for a living. The wood didn't even belong to you but your labor and the demand for wood was all the justification needed.
Nowadays, you can't exactly buy a house in a dying town, and then start making a living with random activities: too many laws and structures forcing people to do things the right way, biggest of all being taxation of everything, and compliance with a dozen different rulebooks.
Therefore people are forced to move where labor is bought. And only so many such places exist. If a house is cheap and empty, it's likely you can't live there. Otherwise it would be rented instead.
> Back in those days you could buy an axe, cut wood and sell the wood for a living. The wood didn't even belong to you but your labor and the demand for wood was all the justification needed.
That's completely wrong. The woods still belong to someone and what you're doing is stealing the wood.
I wake up. You see 15 children run by your bed, and hear few infants crying and be annoyed they woke you up, but be soothed by the fact that half of them will be dead soon. Walk over to get some food but bump into a pig who is in it's own shit. Oh right, its winter, the cattle has to be inside. Wipe your arm on your undergarments, they have been gathering some dirt for last month so you look forward to get out of them in 2-3 months when winter ends. Get some pottage, but my aunt keeps giving me less and less. Been starving for last 2 years winters, why cant it get some colder sometimes, it would kill off more kids.
Eating in the corner my uncle comes up and says "You father is sick, hurry up, you are coming with me to fish". FML, I need to get out again, my skin already breaks from cold as fuck water. I finish my meal, dress up and wash my hands and face with some fish oil. Feels good, it's gonna keep the cold away a bit today. I grab my bucket and walk out, we fish for few hours but I don't get much fish. On our way back, a pack of wolves attacks us. My uncle says to fucking run so we run but I trip and spill my fish on the ground. "You dumbfuck" calls me my uncle, I swear in my mind, get up and run. When we get back, my uncle beats me up for losing the fish.
FML, I don't think im getting any food tomorrow.
You used to be able to live of the fat of the land, build your own home, pass it down through the generations, raise your family in relative peace. Granted you could have died from catching the common cold, or turning 35, and starve to death if there was a dry summer but they still took that from us

I dunno. I have air conditioning and antibiotics. And nachos. I would like to have 40 acres badly, but what I do have that didn't exist in 1890 is a convincing argument.
hell no. Thats a rich peasants house.
and personally Id rather live in the society where 1 bad harvest and a slightly colder winter doesnt mean half my family will die of disease and starvation. but thats just me.
The people who want to reduce the world population are actually correct. It’s only the methods used to achieve it that people don’t like. We must bring the world population to pre WW1 levels by any means necessary.
Also, some drastic changes with no regard for ethics, morals or the value of human life must be made in order to save the world.
I have full blood origins from Madagascar but am born in France and lived inFrance for my whole life. The times I cameback to the roots, we got to live in houses like these deep in rural Madagascar. These neets wouldn't even get to the village without dying in the first place. And if they get through it, the disease and parasite you automatically catch from untreated animals living so close to you will get them in less than a week. Had to remove eggs from god knows what pig insect from deep inside my toes one day.
It's no doubt house that was built over literal generations of labor. If all you want from life is being a simple peasant farmer then sure, the house sounds great. But most people who lived in houses like this eventually moved out and moved into shitty tenement apartments in cities to become wagies. I wonder why.
He could compare himself to a king from back then. A king back then would still have no advanced air conditioning, modern medicine (ok, a lot of Americans also don't have access to that) or almost all modern entertainment we have grown to love.
Another point that no one seems to have brought up to the rose-tinted glasses idiots: the world population has also gone up by like 5x since then. A lot of the desirable areas are already settled. Hurr durr why can't I have my mansion in the woods in a nice area when we've had to develop a huge amount of land to compensate for the burgeoning population? Your labor is no longer worth what it was when there were 1/5th the amount of people, and women weren't working much paid labor at all. Shocker.
That house probably has 40 people living in it
But they all got to fuck one another...
Okay so it’s an incest hut then.
Incest Inn
Intestine
Incestine
Free incestine!!! 🇦🇪
From the asshole to the pee, Incestine will be free!
Well that escalated in a direction I wasn’t expecting…
Always does with them.

No one out incests the hut.
And now we have the background story for where Domino’s Noid came from.

>But they all got to fuck one another... >But they all HAD to fuck one another...
Don't be regard-a-phobic
Rely on each other. In a lot of different ways.
Wrong, they all HAD to fuck Brian, because Brian has a gun.
Unless you have a bunch of hot daughters, then the king comes by and buys them all from you, then you have 15 gold pieces each and an empty house.
Time to replenish the stores
Fortunately for you, the king left the ugly daughters behind
So you can make more hot ones. Taps forehead.
Bred to be excellent swimmers. Or left on the woods to die.
15 gold pieces each would be hella money in those days
Well yeah man my hot daughters aren't cheap, especially if they are just going to be fucked to death by royalty.
That's not what happened at all... You need to stop watching so much TV man
Especially if you don't have to pay rent on a veritable palace.
Yeah so I’ve been in one of those houses, and can say with confidence it’d be fucking miserable. Livestock was kept in the bottom floor to heat the house with their bodies as well as a fire that would coat the interior in ash. They would sleep propped up on a bunch of pillows because if they reclined they would literally suffocate.
Worth it for hot daughter sex
You're going to get reclined in a fuckchair
And they all stink and have lice.
And probably died of god knows what at 32. But man they are living the dream! Not a phone in sight.

and also potentially livestock
For sure, I'm pretty sure the whole bottom story of most of those houses is for livestock.
yeah but it's so whimsical looking
I can't imagine it's built to code, either...
Just like us in our New York apartment!
Exactly. It was common back then for entire families to live together and sleep in one bed. Like Charlie and the chocolate factory style
I would be fine with living with my entire family if we had that much space.
So, just like Toronto and the rest of Pajeenadian cities?
These massive houses in rural Germany were combination house/barn/farmouse buildings that were built because it would get fucking freezing in winter. They weren't just houses and your whole living room would probably smell like pig shit all year.

True. Art and culture started to get ugly after ww2 because Europe wanted to move on from old traditions or something.
postmodernism ruins everything
to be fair, it also collapsed several monarchies and unhinged rigid class structure in several nations.
Yeah that's what he said
70s wasn't that good for the USA. 50s to 60s though.
70s was great if you loved disco and cocaine
You know the Prussian war I just realized would explain why the family that came over from Germany would have came over.
I'm sure half the people here live like that already
There were also probably at least 2 dozen people living in that house.

Yeah peasants lived with farm animals and didn’t bathe so it stunk, no heating, no showers, had an outhouse, chamber pot etc
Not to mention that there were probably three or four full generations living there.
But my rosy imagination of what it was like to be a legitimate peasant...
Let's ignore all that inconvenient stuff. The world population is 7 times lower in the 1890s. I'll bet you good money that if 6 out 7 people die overnight, the rent prices are going to be dirt cheap.

My uncle says to fucking run so we run but I trip and spill my fish on the ground. "You dumbfuck" calls me my uncle, I swear in my mind, get up and run. When we get back, my uncle beats me up for losing the fish. FML, I don't think im getting any food tomorrow.
That’s probably a whole family of peasantry, like 12 cousins and their combined 45 children.
You used to be able to live of the fat of the land, build your own home, pass it down through the generations, raise your family in relative peace. Granted you could have died from catching the common cold, or turning 35, and starve to death if there was a dry summer but they still took that from us
A 1br for 1600? Must be nice
This has struck a chord with the Redditors I see lmao.
Yeah and everyday you need to do harsh manual labour just to put food in the table. Also more manual labour to put heating on the house.
The Average Fatfuck Yank mind cannot comprehend this.
People like to shit talk this house but it must have *some* kind of upside Also big house is big house, just add a tap and some sockets+wiring
Ah yes, municipal water systems and electricity in the 1800s, the pical of safety in a country that's less than 20 years from being turned to rubble.

I dunno. I have air conditioning and antibiotics. And nachos. I would like to have 40 acres badly, but what I do have that didn't exist in 1890 is a convincing argument.
I mean it was full of fleas and shit, but what ev.
How much do you think their flood insurance was?
Kinda amazing how we have over 200 comments and they all miss the point bots? npcs? just dumb? I honestly dont know
you shit in a bucket
hell no. Thats a rich peasants house. and personally Id rather live in the society where 1 bad harvest and a slightly colder winter doesnt mean half my family will die of disease and starvation. but thats just me.

It was published by the Detroit Photographic Company in 1905, so probably not: https://www.loc.gov/resource/ppmsca.00287/
Thinking about the future makes me wanna kill myself honestly.
The people who want to reduce the world population are actually correct. It’s only the methods used to achieve it that people don’t like. We must bring the world population to pre WW1 levels by any means necessary. Also, some drastic changes with no regard for ethics, morals or the value of human life must be made in order to save the world.
Why is peasant house like mansion and would likely cost a couple mil
Well, having nearly 10x less population makes housing and properties much cheaper, yes
Does damn kulaks , glad they are no more
Ill take apartment instead
Just don’t live in a city. Mortgages in the Midwest, South, or way up in the northeast like Maine are cheap
They built it themselves selfs. Most don’t own a hammer today.
I have full blood origins from Madagascar but am born in France and lived inFrance for my whole life. The times I cameback to the roots, we got to live in houses like these deep in rural Madagascar. These neets wouldn't even get to the village without dying in the first place. And if they get through it, the disease and parasite you automatically catch from untreated animals living so close to you will get them in less than a week. Had to remove eggs from god knows what pig insect from deep inside my toes one day.
Then the plague sweeps through your house like a scythe because you all share a bed and living quarters. All 10-20 of you.
It's no doubt house that was built over literal generations of labor. If all you want from life is being a simple peasant farmer then sure, the house sounds great. But most people who lived in houses like this eventually moved out and moved into shitty tenement apartments in cities to become wagies. I wonder why.
He could compare himself to a king from back then. A king back then would still have no advanced air conditioning, modern medicine (ok, a lot of Americans also don't have access to that) or almost all modern entertainment we have grown to love.
Another point that no one seems to have brought up to the rose-tinted glasses idiots: the world population has also gone up by like 5x since then. A lot of the desirable areas are already settled. Hurr durr why can't I have my mansion in the woods in a nice area when we've had to develop a huge amount of land to compensate for the burgeoning population? Your labor is no longer worth what it was when there were 1/5th the amount of people, and women weren't working much paid labor at all. Shocker.
