It's no wonder our prehistoric ancestors went wandering around hooting, hollering, randomly screaming and yelling all the time. They kept hearing all these voices from the future asking them questions like "why is my life bad", "how do I make her love me", "how do we find the vietcong", "why is America fighting this war", "will putin start nuclear war", "when will Jesus return" ...

Throw a sharp stick at it until it dies or goes away? Of course, why didn't I think of that!

Run away in fear until you gather enough of a group so that you can all turn around and kill and destroy whoever or whatever scared you in the first place.

Keep doing that for 200,000 years and you end up with a nuclear war

I hope that at this point humans are in the process of realizing that killing the nukes is way more beneficial than killing their enemies with nukes.

That's like asking a caveman to put down the stick

Well of course we're going to throw poo at him

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The answer is either poop slinging or non stop sex

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago

Why not both? ...... the ancestors have spoken.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Explains sooo much, really.

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 14 points 1 year ago

Maybe uh...more recent, ancestors?

We've gone too far! Early Homo Sapiens and cohabiting Neanderthals, what is your wisdom?

"When shitting in the woods, always bring with you a trust poop knife."

"Have you tried seducing exotic-looking people? maybe knapping a nice flint knife? That'll help with seducing the exotic people as well!"

I don't know why but "hooting and shrieking" made me laugh out loud. Well done!
