retrospectology , in I'm so tired of this wheel crap.

For real, my nephew is already giving me shit because I don't know how to use the lever they got me for last solstice, now they come out with this shit. I dunno how anyone keeps up with all this gadgetry. Why do we need levers? What's wrong with just getting the whole tribe together to brute force our big rocks into place like we've always done?

Right? I was on board with the whole pressing reeds into clay tablets to calculate taxes thing, but now they're expanding it to all words. How are people going to remember anything anymore?

It's for sizing dowels, right?

I bet your meat-chasing ass wants a bun for that burger, too bad you can't hunt wheat!

What's a burger? Is it some kind of gazelle?

Sidhean , in Agriculture is hard!

Fucking farmers. Always playing with their plants. When I go out hunting? playing with their plants. A week later when I come back? Oh wow yeah your weird garden sure is a little bigger I have a WHOLE ANIMAL. And they're so smug about it, too. Can't stand farmers.

aaaa , in Why does it have to be so difficult?

I found a pureed cat treat that my geriatric cat loved. I started washing his pill down with that

Now he hates that cat treat because he associates it with taking the pill

Roughly translated, that Olmec script says something like: "Bring it"

Xtallll , in We need to respect each other a little more. This is the Bronze Age and it will last forever.

In Old English man was gender neutral, with the gendered terms being Werman and Wifman (this is where the word werewolf comes from), so the correct gender neutral term for sea dwelling people would be would be "seamen". Thank you, and good night.

At least the quality of Persian copper is better than the ingots I've been getting imported from the Tin Islands to the West.

And I thought Afghanistan tin was impure!

Coskii , in What is this thing?!

Long tailed jack rabbit.

Of course it's mid leap making it look distorted and strange. To compare, look at a standard toad resting and then watch as it contorts upon leaping into something near indistinguishable from its resting form.

over_clox ,

Okay. Please define what is a 'standard toad'...

I glanced carelessly and it sort of looked like janky AI art

When I looked closer I was much happier

blahsay , in what's this thing again? i'm drawing a blank...

Your mind is tabula rasa you say?

It's one of those fads the kids are into these days that will never last, isn't it?
