It was even more boring than that. The amount of food you need vs is available plus roads mean your pretty limited in what you can even try to do until engines.
Or that castle sieges were much more boring than made to seem and would last months
Huh, what media are you talking about? Might just be the generes I enjoy but I’ve never seen anything suggest that castle sieges didn’t last ages. Wouldn’t that kinda go against the point of a siege?
Maybe it’s got to do with a confusion of language. Not every attack on a fortified structure is a siege. Like the battles at Helm’s Deep or Minas Tirith in Lord of the Rings could be confused with a siege because they are battles around forts and cities. But the intention was to destroy these places, not make the inhabitants surrender.
It still blows my mind that for a large part of human history wars were literally just two giant armies marching towards each other.

"Go away you filthy beggars! I spit in your general direction!”
Your mother is a hamster and your father smells of elderberries
Fart. He farts in their general direction.
Is it? I’m really convinced he shouts “spit”, followed by the mocking sound of it (“ptui, ptui”).
I remember them saying “fart”, but it has been a few years since I saw it last. I could be mistaken. It’s possible that he says both.
Edit: I just checked, it’s “fart”, right at 1:45, so start just before then.
I need to watch the movie again.
I watch this and Blazing Saddles every few years. It’s about time for me to watch both of them again.
