Wonderful. Idiots finally grasp the idea that 'the average life expectancy 200 years ago was thirty' doesn't mean everyone died at thirty, only to somehow convince themselves that everyone who lived past childhood had the same life expectancy as us.

No. That's not how it worked. Yes, a person who made it to twenty had a reasonable expectation of living to 'old age', but that was still only in their fifties or sixties. Adult mortality was still, much, much higher back then than it is now.

Fucking normies learn one history fact and suddenly think they're an expert fucking retards picking facts out of thin air why is there always... you know what I can't even be bothered
