Could you have survived in viking times?

Me personally? Hah! Hell no!!! I was born around the wrong way for a start and premature, I'd have been dead before I even started.

Hell no I would have murdered other vikings etc, but I probably would have also either committed suicide or been murdered myself eventually.

@Nihiless Or died of diarrhea, they didn't have the best hygiene back then, or great access to clean water. I wish they showed that more in post apocalyptic movies and TV shows, how bad water can make you crap yourself to death.
@Allelse That would have also been quite possible. Yes human hygiene standards did suck back in those days and beyond. I could also have been raped and murdered or died in childbirth or just tottured to death, some of those torture devices were quite ingenious and horendous. 🤔

@Nihiless Yeah giving birth at 13 would have been a bit of a challenge, I mean birth can still knock people off in the west in this day and age. And yep raped and murdered. These must have been the good old days old folks are always talking about.
@Allelse Or younger, it's the 30s, 40s and 50s they're always banging on about. Back you could still smoke and drink everywhere. They had dance dance marathons whereby you dance for hours/days at a time until you 'dropped'.

@Nihiless Sounds exhausting.
