Hello Everyone!
Happy May Day!!!!
Now let's get down to business!
So you were sent back in time (Let's say 600-700 years ago) and you are going to live in that past for the rest of your life.
What modern feature, object, amenities etc would you miss the most?
Painkillers!
While it would be a bummer to live without things plumbing, internet, easy access to books and food etc I feel I could adapt and hopefully survive without them Ok. Whereas living without something that could easily take care of everyday pain and discomfort would be hard! Imagine having a bad headache, or lady cramps, or sore joints and muscles, and you don't have anything that could legitimately and quickly take care of it. Or worse/bigger cases where you need something stronger. As my history background says, pain was just a normal everyday aspect of life for people in the past and they knew it and accepted it.
I'm sure there are more superior options but losing something like Advil came to my mind first for me
