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.
10 0 ReplyGuillotines.
71 2 ReplyCloaks 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.
43 1 ReplyScaphism, but specifically for corrupt politicians.
5 0 ReplyMy non-joke answer is apprenticeship. Kids could actually learn how to do a valuable job rather than graduating from high school with almost no useful skills.
53 2 ReplyHaving most of the year off for festivals and holy days
47 0 ReplyCatapults, just to irritate the trebuchet people.

41 0 ReplyDueling. I say we use it as an option to reply to a civil lawsuit. Able bodied adults only, no proxies, and if you refuse then you have to do a trial and they can weigh your refusal as evidence against you.
Swords only, no guns.

21 0 ReplyThe stockade is something we desperately need. Some people need to learn how other people see them. Driving 50mph in a living area, stockade. Making a lot of noise at 6 in the morning, believe it or not, stockade. Being a racist cunt, straight to the stockade.
14 2 ReplyRandom pedestals with swords driven into them lol
19 1 ReplyKings, 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

8 0 ReplyDoug 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.
13 1 ReplyCan we get guilds back?
15 0 ReplyBathhouses. The local Quicklee's just doesn't do it.
16 1 ReplyI 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.

4 0 ReplyA vast patchwork of incredibly different lifeways that you can flee to whenever then taxman and his goons come round.
3 0 ReplyGrand 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.
3 0 ReplyI wouldn't mind bringing back public executions.
