Since America is bringing back kings what other kind of stuff is on your medieval wishlist?

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords as a basis for a system of government.

Guillotines.

Having most of the year off for festivals and holy days

Royal beheadings

Our leaders fighting in the wars they start.

You wanted it... go fucking get it cowards.

Guillotines obviously.

Regicide.

Peasant uprisings, to take down the kings of today.

Beheading kings.

Cloaks would be cool. I know that's more of a fantasy aesthetic than a medieval one but they are cool enough that it shouldn't matter.

Inns, especially if they've got an enormous pot of perpetual stew, and people are giving out quests.

Catapults, just to irritate the trebuchet people.

Guillotines for kings

Trebuchets - the superior siege engine. (Disclaimer: probably not medieval)

Cloaks and leather boots

Royalty and nobility taking part in actual on-the-ground warfare. I'd be curious if that would have any effect on military operations...

Receiving land for farting good.

Mandatory longbow training for yoemen and yoewomen. Let's get those skills trained up in case we're ever facing a charge of French knights.

Fucking guillotines already

Sorcery, alchemy, soothsaying, baby. Come one come all I'll cure what ails you. I'll summon portals and turn lead into #gold.

Or maybe the town crier. Hear ye, hear ye, elon musk hast tweeted about his balls.

Random pedestals with swords driven into them lol

Doug Rushkoff had a talk where he called out local currency as a thing he’d like to bring back from the medieval.

Exclusive to the community, and only valid for a short period of time, so you can’t hoard it or siphon the wealth to another community.

Edit:

Found a blog post about it: https://archive.rushkoff.com/articles/local-money.html

It doesn't say anything about it being temporary, although he does mention that in his talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRWzOdUiqQE

Weird ass slices in public parks everybody has to garden in. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-field_system

I guess we could use a little ice age right around now, and it would also be nice to have a Renaissance around the corner.

Someone said inns and taverns, and yes it's a missing piece of housing here - long term hotels with food, bars/restaurants with rooms to rent above.

Not much though, it is not a time I'd visit.

Kings, plagues, private armies (more late medieval and renaissance, but you get the idea), career military with hi-tech weapons tearing apart barely armed peasants. Idk, OP, seems like we got almost everything covered

Bathhouses. The local Quicklee's just doesn't do it.

I would love it if taverns became a thing again, but only if they kept the time period theme up.

Can we get guilds back?

Dragons

I could be down for small beer being the main thing we drink.

I unplug for a few days and this pops up on my feed. ??????????

The commons

Perpetual stew, good architecture, and no Twitter

Free time

Trebuchets, which btw are far superior to catapults.

Grand journeys to far off lands. The kind of journey where someone who is "exotic" and personable can make a life for themselves by being the court foreigner.

Also: Judicial duels. They are unjust, unethical, and unproductive, but damn if I don't want to see white collar criminals have to fight the selected champion of all the folks they ripped off. Of course, being a billionaire would probably buy you a pretty good champion yourself, so we'd also have to bring back old concepts of honor to compel them to represent themselves.

I recently got into armored combat so, knights. If we're gonna kill each other, let's at least be civilized!

Guillotines

A blowtorch and a pair of pliers.

Chaperon hats.

Oh oh oh oh oh oh!
JOUSTING!

We can do it with motorcycles this time instead of horses!

OH ALSO

Private Military contractors should begin to dress like crosses between clowns and noble-knights again.

(hours later addendum) Bowing as a form of social greeting. We REALLY missed a beat when we didn't bring this back when COVID made people afraid of getting too close to each other.
