By “Introverts”, I’m talking about like people who don’t like talking to other people. How did they spend their time?
minus-squareEm Adespoton@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 day agoBefore the printing press was before organized timekeeping or most automated machines. This meant there was plenty of space for introverts doing isolated manual labour that we now automate. What did they do at the end of the day instead of visit at the pub? Probably collapse in exhaustion. For those who had more power, there was always religious orders.
