SocialMediaRefugee,

Your brain deliberately forgets trivial stuff. Do you really need to remember every lunch you had? Same goes for all the mundane stuff in history.

On the other hand so little of the mundane stuff was recorded that when we do see it it can be a window into how people actually lived, like Samuel Pepys diary. The daily stuff was so accepted as boring and common knowledge that it wasn’t considered worth recording.

SocialMediaRefugee,

You need to arm 100 guys? 100 spears is a lot cheaper and easier to train than 100 swords.

SocialMediaRefugee,

I go on Wikipedia to look up a region in central Europe and an hour later find myself reading about obscure events in the 30 years war.
