Being a bitch.
Recreational drug use can be traced to before written history. Bartering also existed then. I’d be a drug dealer.
You reckon the stuff back then was potent enough that people would buy it?
No no, it was freely given.
The ancient vers of the cornerboy shouting TWO FOR TEN
P sure psilo hasn’t really changed
Fun fact: Barter only seems to occur in human societies when a. markets were previously established b. those markets collapse. Check out David Graber’s ‘Debt: first 5000 yrs’ for more info. Most societies are debt based- as in people just do things for each other but keep basic accounts in there heads. Eg. You paid for dinner out last month, i’ll pay this month(doesn’t really matter how much was spent, the exactness isn’t very important) Or, my grandma makes the coolest knit socks, I’m gonna ask her to make some for me and then shes gonna have me do some yard work when i visit later.
tfw you can’t say “town bike” bc bicycles won’t be invented for thousands of years
i think i’d make good bait though
The hard part about a simple bicycle isn’t actually the bicycle, it’s smooth road. If you don’t have that you have to invent the mountainbike and that one’s not even a 100 years old.
becoming a rome weirdo not for any of the usual reasons, but because someone’s gotta build the damn roads
the town (whatever the stone age word for flintstones car was)
making fire.
You good at making fires in the present?
am i an expert ? no.
am I pretty good at it. I’d say yes. what i haven’t done I have seen done enough times I should be able to get it to work.
I think a big part of this is just knowing what is possible. Not having to “chance upon” things for the first time.
I guess I could build a cart/waggon for easier transporting the dead animals the other guys hunted. Not sure if that would be much appreciated or if I just would be the weird guy again.
Maybe a plough would be more useful.
And building/improving shelter.
I could also make a fire after failing some time I suppose.
I can imagine you making a rock hammer, and having to sit there and justify to people why the end has that weird flange. “It’s for pulling things out!”
Right, come to think of it, I definitely would be the weird guy that doesn’t understand how the community works. I couldn’t speak their language, wouldn’t know their common practices and hierarchy.
I’d likely go (be exiled) on my own lonely journey (aaand thus quickly die).
Yelling yabadabadoo and sliding down that dinosaur
looking like that…most likely not a Don Juan. so hunting and fishing, i could scare anything to death…
If you could figure out how to make soap from fat, you could be the clean one. Supposedly that helped the Vikings take the ladies home.
I think he’s got quite a friendly face tbh
you are totally right…but it is not a pretty face.
I’ve got some decent smithing skills, I’d go looking for bog iron and skip the bronze age.
Juggling. I’d find some nice stones or pinecones and teach everyone how to juggle and do some tricks. I also know an ancient game you can play with stones or knuckle bones. And I know some songs. And stories. People in the stone age had lots of free time to pass, so all of these would come in handy.
Wanna form a neolithic comedy duo with me?
Okay, I’ll be the silent part
Absolutely nothing lol. I do tech support for a living and work on cars as a hobby.
Well, cavemen also need tech support, just a different kind of tech.
Gork: “Stick go thud. I want go stab”
Pepsison: “Have you tried rebooting it?”
Gork: “?”
Pepsison: “Sorry, old habit” Sharpens his spear “try it now”
Gork: “Gork happy. Gork bring you mammoth”And with Gork happy I’m sure he can help you find the right twigs twine and logs to make a primitive cart. Soon you and Gork can haul all the mammoth you’d ever need.
I’d be the best at powershell. Unfortunately I wouldn’t live very long.
I find the powershell method gives me hemorrhoids, I much prefer the gentler three shells method.
But which one goes where?
Hoarder. Of things that might conceivably be used one day.
You need weird rock? I got weird rock.
Knapping.
Wait, I mean napping.
Being the cave complex idiot.
