in fridrichs time they had sabre duels, the way to win was to get cut and act like it didnt happen

Read books, played boardgames and field games, told stories, sang songs, wrote stories, spent time with others just talking and drinking, played with their children and wife.
More things were done for their sake alone.

realy what they did was drink, smoke, play cards and fuck prostitutes, often all at the same time

also people danced a lot, and live music was cheap

>lets go smoke and drink

>play cards
Probably didn't have cards.
Also paper is a rather recent invention.
I think people played toss the rock at the village sacred tree for much longer than they've played cards.

practical jokes and pranks were common in alpine Europe, like they would put an entire horse cart on someones roof over night and fill it with manure. Also tree fights, like in spring the young unmarried man would put up a fresh cut tree in the middle of the village and decorate it, other villages did the same and then the games began, cut the neighbors tree down. Be ready to get beat up and flogged out the village if caught.
love trees was another thing, a proper proposal would include cutting a tree, carve and decorate it and then with the help of your friends hoist it next to your girls window, climb up, say hello, and if you get a kiss you're shipped.
Also fighting, like with traveling craftsmen, neighboring villages, cattle drivers and the like. Drunken fighting is still a favorite in many small alpine villages, nowadays just without the knifes.

Alpine Europe is now the comfiest place in existence.
>ywn put a shitfilled cart on your best friends house

no this is quite literaly what people did, as much as possible, that plus big public dances, celebrations and fairs

they also had lots of fights

alchoholism and prostitution arent exactly a new thing

The Chad Rée, the virgin Nietzsche...

>alchoholism and prostitution arent exactly a new thing
>implying there were alcholics before the invention of beer
>implying there was prostitution in a village of 10 people
They are actually both really new things. They are the marks of civilization. Civilization is so far a blink of an eye in all of human history.
We've been around for how long? I think they bumped up the 200,000 year mark to something a bit earlier, anyway we've been civilized for maybe 15% of that, that's being extremely generous too.
