Most peasants were farmers, weren't they? I thought that's why they had the pitchforks.

Okay, but I'm here to talk about anachronisms. Pitchfork and canned good? Sure, they exist together now, but for a lot of history, canned goods were just not a thing. So, hats, pies, and boots make sense, and maybe throw in some pottery instead, and bobs your uncle. I should probably take my meds.
How did you know that I have an Uncle Bob? Are you a wizard?
TIL livery refers to more than car services
TIL that livery refers to car services.
Tf is livery? Someone who works with livers?
Its the opposite of a deadery. Hospital maternity wards and such.
edit: opposite of a diary
No, it's when something is the color or texture of a liver. "Hey, this jacket is livery."
Livery make racecar pretty!
The time periods usually portrayed in those protester scenes are of a time when most people were farmers/ranchers and used hay for things needing the pitchfork
I assumed any old villager would deal with having to shift hay in their yard be it from livestock or horses. Plus they also had torches which made sense, I assume any long pole like weapon was sufficient.
"That was a question about my Adderall."
Fun fact, Ninja Throwing Stars started out as boot Spurs.
doubt it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuriken
I was going to provide more evidence of my claim since your link provides no context on their origins at all, but it turns out the representation of Ninja as an oppressed lower class of peasants and farmers might just be a century old wives tale.
im pretty sure Japan didnt even use boots.
I'm not sure, but they definitely had cattle so they probably used some kind of spur.
Per wikipedia:
In England, the rowel spur is shown upon the first seal of Henry III and on monuments of the 13th century, but it did not come into general use until the 14th century.
Rowel spurs being the spinning wheel kind. Most spurs were more like bird talons on the back of your boot.
I.e. shit for throwing.
Alright but it wasn't until 3 centuries later that Ninja were popularized, so...
Somebody get Sergio Leone
Yeah, you definitely need the Adderall...
I live in a village. I own a pitchfork. Song need it for any profession.
Make of that whatever you want.
More and more people are asking it.
