I mean... does that mean there's a chance if I fall I'll get a 6' tall marble monument? That sounds so much easier than being crazy popular or succesful. Or is it just, the first per cliff, so I'd need to find a new less obvious cliff at the same park.
i think it's probably a famous person who died to that cliff, so you still have to start off being famous. also most cliffs have already been discovered and people have died at them, so you need to build a new one and that costs a lot of money, and only then can they build a monument to your stupidity.
To be fair, that's probably part of the reason cavemen liked it. People who may attack them fall off the cliff and die. Maybe they can also chase prey off the cliff?
i don't think cavemen would've enjoyed meat pudding
I know this is a joke, but running animals off of ledges is a very ancient and common hunting practice.
oh I didn't actually think about that. TIL. thanks for responding sincerely despite my bad joke.
extreme example of survivorship bias
