Consumption has you burning your sister’s heart and drinking it like it’s fight milk because Vampires? What a god awful time to have been alive.

Medicine made huge strides in the last 100 years. Wait until you read about amputation before the invention of anesthetics...

The greatest advances in human longevities came with good public health laws, Vaccines and antibiotics. As we see today with Covid Vaxes....

We now live TWICE as long as the average person in 1910. And we have few doubts that given medical advances coming in only 50 yrs. that will double again.

Many children alive today may well live to be 150. The effects on social security will be remarkable.

And then all that silly doom and gloom. We have more nonagenarians alive at present that EVER before in human history, as a consequence. And many of them fully functional, too.

Fully six of my parents' bros. and sis' lived to be in their 90's. Many of us now have 25 more yrs. to "mingle " with the female population.....

And the effects of collecting that much info, wisdom and experiences will be remarkable, too.

Another amazing fact a redditor pointed out was that, with all the porn on the internet, you have probably seen vastly more vaginas or dicks then anyone else in your ancestry. Going back in the day, even if you managed to see every vagina or dick in your village, you'd maybe manage to see a couple hundred vaginas/dicks in your lifetime. Now you can see a couple hundred vaginas/dicks an hour! From all over the world! I don't know why, but I think back on this fact way too often.

Mentioned pleasant interactions with women. If some think that's porn, they need to get a life.

Tooth pulling and wearing green were horrifying- oldy timey amputation is the level after that.

Yep. Today we have managed disease and viruses so well that some people think they aren't even real anymore.

Oh they are real. It’s just the vaccines that have chemical microchips which can track location and read your thoughts and lower your sperm count. Obviously.

And people act like today is bad, people used to genuinely be that stupid.

That's some Skyrim alchemy-style nonsense right there.

Well yeah, that's not how vampires work.

Really makes you question where they’re getting their vamp lore from

Good point.

She died in 1892.

Bram Stoker's Dracula was published in 1897.

So now we are experts on a fictional, crazy kind of "fake" being? How's that for a viable life styles interest.....

Which is crazier, the topic or the comment?

Ok... but - bear with me here - what if we now drink the brother's pancreas through a straw, then inhale their diced gall-bladders through our left nostril???

The believe it will cure their diabetes, too.

What're you a quack!? Every good religious man knows evil is associated with the left side of the body! You've gotta snort it up your right nostril!

Hmmm ...burning organs didn't work....color me shocked!

I don't know, maybe they just didn't burn the right organs. I think we need more testing.

I just watched the episode of "Lore" about that yesterday. My grandmother and aunt died of tuberculosis back before WWII.

I had hot tub lung that lasted 6 months and that sucked too.

How downright medieval medicine was in the US/UK until fairly recently has always been bizarre to me. Ancient Egyptians managed to isolate breast cancer as a specific ailment and even attempted treatment through removal and cauterization of tumors way back several millennia earlier, yet as recently as 130 years ago we were doing this weird shit.

Hell, the fact that scurvy is a simple deficiency has been learnt and forgotten multiple times. How easily information is lost (or simply never widely disseminated to begin with) is creepy.

Did you really need to learn that Vampires aren't real and that ashes can't cure TB?

Actually, Mercy Brown's father didn't believe it. He had to be convinced by his neighbors to exhume her and let them do the ritual.
