Dying.
Dying is not a task, dying is a condition
Not with that attitude
Well, it can be both.
Seppuku is a task
Wouldn’t death be the condition?
Not with that attitude it isn’t.
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?

Recreational drug use can be traced to before written history. Bartering also existed then. I’d be a drug dealer.
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.
You reckon the stuff back then was potent enough that people would buy it?
No no, it was freely given.

P sure psilo hasn’t really changed
I know how to make rope, among other things, as an eagle scout, and I have some experience with atatl so, probably dying of fever at 14.
You don’t think they’d hang you with your own rope?
I’d probably be something of a builder/ “engineer.”
I’m not actually an engineer, but I have a knack for utilizing what I have around me or simple enough objects to serve other goals. I suppose I’m what people used to call a Macgyver or “mechanically inclined.”
So, what would you “build”?
Definitely some kind of stone bulwark at the cave entrance to keep out the bears and prehistoric cheetahs.
would you ever try to make something resembling a car / cart?
The flintstones car was a the essential tool humanity used to create civilisation so of course
I was taught they never actually lived in caves, by an angry frenchman when I visited caves in France. The car sized bears did hibernate there though (and people did paintings in the caves).
It depends on what was needed at the time, but probably things like tools and housing. Obviously considering the time we’re talking about it would be very “primitive” lol
But if you knew what you knew now you could do a lot. Just knowing that you can bake mud to make clay. Getting running water to where you live could be a game changer. It’s the key to agriculture, sanitation, etc.
Weapons are the same. Knowing something like the bow and arrow is possible will put you way ahead of sharp sticks and rocks.
I have this but for bicycles and ropes exclusively. First one is out, so I’m rope guy I guess

Storytelling & oral sex.
Beat me to it. Mine was “storytelling and sexually gratifying the hunters in exchange for food”
There is a whole world of romance novels in this setting.

Dying
The only correct answer.
With or without my current knowledge?
Because I’m pretty sure I could smelt Iron with what I know, and a year or two of experimentation. So the answer would be “ending the stone age”.
Without? I dunno, maybe building traps and snares.
Been watching primitive technology huh?
I mean, I have, but I saw this long before he started trying to smelt Iron: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuCnZClWwpQ
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 would invent God so others would do all the hunting and gathering for me while I partied in the cave drawing on the walls.
Excel, it wouldn’t be useful but I’d still be great at it.
Great! I got a random Excel question. Sometimes when I pull reports at work the format for the price changes. Instead of showing the $ and the correct amount of spaces after the cent sign like .00, it has no $ and many digits after the cent sign like .000000000000000.
Now when I try to change the cell format back to currency, accounting, text, or anything it keeps the same format and amount of digital after the cent sign. The work around I found is to open up a different Excel doc type it in the correct format and then copy and paste over the incorrect formatted cell.
Do you can a better answer or did I explain horribly and your as confused as me when I try to fix Excel?
