Welcome to 2meirl4meirl
Memes that are too dark for most. Post responsibly, cry collectively.
Rule 1: Respect the Community
If you’re not into self-deprecating, dark, or suicidal humor, this isn’t the place for you. Kindly block and move on. This is just how some of us cope
Rule 2: Respect One Another
We’re here to laugh through the pain, not to make it worse.
- No harassment
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Don’t be malicious
Rule 3: Title Requirement
All post titles must be 2meirl4meirl.
- Makes posting lazy and easy
- Lets people who don’t want this humor avoid it
Rule 4: No Forbidden Formats
The usual stuff applies:
- No spam
- No illegal content
- No porn or explicit content
- NSFW content must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, please report it.
Otherwise post your memes, share your pain, and salute your fellow sadpeeps

Additionally, in times when the crops required less care (so not planting or harvesting) peasants were required by their lords to do various amounts of labor. Like "build X feet of fences per year, mend Y feet of fences, serve Z days of conscripted labor", etc.
So on the one hand, peasants weren't ruled by the tyranny of the clock like we are, but on the other: work still had to get done, was much less efficient than today (bc technology), and was often unpaid
At the other hand, the lord did have obligations to the peasantry as well. Providing protection is a fairly well known one, but it could also be stuff like providing their people with meat at least once a week. An example that we know of is a case where a complaint was raised by peasants (and won!) because their lord had only provided fish (or maybe duck, as that was considered fish as well) for too long a period.
