    Unnecessary tech. Just one more thing to break. They will change the knock in a few years so I have to get a new one.

    Damn planned obsolescence.

    I heard some kids at the watering hole talking about hunting with a bow.

    What they are going to give that mammoth a new hair doo. The hell ??

      You are so right. Everything’s made to break these days. This guy traded me a copper axe for some flint nodules… damn thing got dull after four or five chops. I went right back to stone!

        Who provided the copper ingots? Was it Ea-nāṣir?

          How am I supposed to know? He gave me a piece of clay with a bunch of wedges in it and looked at me with this expression that made it look like I was supposed to know what that meant. Anyway, it was his loss. I can get more flint by the river whenever I want.

      At least I hunt for my food. You’re probably one of those farming wimps I’ve heard about. Is that what you do, farm boy? Plow fields? Sow seeds? Typical pussy liberal shit.

    A SPEAR

    Hypocrite.

    One stick, two sticks, who cares. If you want to throw a rock, throw it with your hand, as nature intended.

    Tying it to the end of a stick is as much cheating as using another stick to make your arm longer.

    Real rock throwers don’t need sticks. If your arms aren’t long enough that you’re dragging your knuckles on the ground like our forefathers you’re as weak as the kids you’re criticising.

      Look, I’m sympathetic to the paleolithicconservative cause, but we can’t throw out all progress just because of these uppity kids!

        we can’t throw out all progress

        Well, of course with your puny little arms you can’t…

    All that modern tech, then I bet a grey-hair from Göbekli Tepe shows up in reed sandals and takes the silver with a throwing spear that doesn’t even have fletching.
