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

Beheading kings.

Trebuchets, which btw are far superior to catapults.

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

Royal beheadings

Our leaders fighting in the wars they start.

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

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

Peasant uprisings, to take down the kings of today.

Guillotines.

Winter

Perpetual stew, good architecture, and no Twitter

Having most of the year off for festivals and holy days

Guillotines obviously.

I just really like walking around eating giant turkey legs.

Child labor.

Oh, wait…

Regicide.

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.

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

Catapults, just to irritate the trebuchet people.

Syphilis

Guillotines for kings

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

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

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

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...

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

Fucking guillotines already

Landsknecht fashion.

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.

Random pedestals with swords driven into them lol

Receiving land for farting good.

Bacchanalia

Magic of course.

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.

Everybody needs guillotine.. That says something!

A blowtorch and a pair of pliers.

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

Bring back duels!

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.

Owning land without any taxes or anything.

Im pro taxes but hey, when in Rome…

The commons

Can we get guilds back?

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.

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

Scaphism, but specifically for corrupt politicians.

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

Public stockade.

Dragons

Free time

Moats. I was kidding at first, but I'm now thinking lazy rivers are modern moats.

Guillotines

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 want to see straight guys duel to get straight women.

Things made out of pewter

A vast patchwork of incredibly different lifeways that you can flee to whenever then taxman and his goons come round.

Horses as transportation.

"Mein Lehnsherr..."

running the gauntlet

Debtor's prisons
