Monks did most of the writing and artwork.
Monks main diet was brassicas.
They grew their own food.
Do the math, it’s wish fulfillment
That’s my guess too. Snail plague there heart to be evidence of it somewhere. Also when did escargot become popular?
Brassica, it is ALWAY brassica.
I think you’re really on to something here, if you don’t work in history or something, you should run this by a historian or scholar and see what they think
Hey, that’s clever. Snails are a scourge of gardening. “I want to kill those suckers.”
It makes sense that they made doodles of their desirrd victory over the garden-munching snails.
The exact same thing will happen hundreds of years from now with amogus memes and
:.|:;Is there a god damn font character for loss??
…Is loss a Unicode character now??
:.|:;~:.|:;~
Cool! I never thought of that!
Well, do you see any giant snails around? No? Then thank those knights
“Lisa… I’m going to buy your knight”
A few hundred years from now, historians are going to be equally confused by the horse-sized duck images …
Well Dodo’s were big ass duck like birds, though not as near as big as a horse. Weird thing, they haven’t been extinct that long.
There going to have to sift through so much porn.
Porn will train the next-gen AIs and, since AI cannot tell the difference, in the future 90% (-99%?) of all language will be based on porn, just as (looking back with 20/20 hindsight) the proportion of the current internet would imply must have been true of today’s culture.
“Yes spank me harder daddy” will come to mean “I would like a promotion in my place of employment, so that I can take on exciting new challenges in this fast-paced, team environment”:-)
Ofc, “help me stepbro, I am stuck” will still mean the same thing as it always has.
spoiler
the joke here is that the change in meaning has already occurred
Future generations are going to be so confused… :-P So exactly as we are now, I guess? :-D
And why there are so many pictures of bananas next to things.
"We hypothesize that the bananas of the 21st century were a different type, one that grew in a wider range of climates. We’re not certain why this breed seem to have randomly fallen from the trees so often, but perhaps it helps explain all these other drawings of inattentive humans slipping on random banana peels as well. … "
Oh dear. I read that as ‘fisting’ at first.
I picked the wrong day to give up sniffing glue.
Because they probably had a great sense of humour, comedy clubs and memes back then too, but hey let’s ignore that for just a moment to imagine how hardcore a knight you would have to be to fight off Cthulhu snails
Garden warfare!
Did they also take that challenge with the immortal snail?
Plot twist: its actually the same person making the snail memes today, yet to be caught and looking for new ways to stay one step ahead of the snail
Its easy to forget that yeolden times were also capable of satire.
The ones with the rabbits are pretty messed up as well!
