Dying
I’m a natural at shooting a traditional bow.
I know every edible plant in my area, and some that get you high.
I can find north without a compass, day and night.
I can make a fire from things I can gather in the woods.
I know how to safely fell a tree, split logs and build a shelter with hand tools.
I know how to act around most predators and have experience handling a spear.I think I’d do reasonably well.
Sometimes I wish I was born in the stone age. My ADHD is completely gone whenever I’m in the wild.I started reading and was like “okay, sure buddy” then I remembered I have developed a lot of the same skills, including tracking wildlife.
And then I remembered the time I learned to identify clay deposits and to separate out the clay so I could build stuff with it.
So I thought: “wth, this is so weird! Ohh, they have ADHD too… That explains a lot”.
I wasn’t diagnosed at the time, when I was learning to find clay, but that should have been a sign lol
Finding fruit trees. Hunting would be my weak point.
I would introduce them to scrumpy, then teach them to grow apples so we can make more.
Just by knowing how to wash my hands, medicine. Up until 20th century.
Wash the wound with soapy water, apply cloth that has been boiled. Yeah that should have a better survival rate than most of human history.
Soap is animal fat and what in a survival situation?
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?
Yea when I said that I excel at Excel I was somewhat exaggerating, much as I have at every job interview I’ve ever had. It’s become something of a reflex these days. But as someone else has said I think that particular issue is just down to Excel being crap.
That’s just excel being excel.
It Excels at formatting.
Bronze peddler. “Hello, have you heard of bronze? Just attach it to your axe instead of stone. No more annoying stone chopping! And look, it’s shiny!”
Coal mining, I fucking love mining coal
Dying from a decease.

Wanking
Who (and when) was the first person in history to wank? And how did they find out?
Genesis 38:8-10
Juda, therefore, said to Onan his son: Go in to thy brother’s wife and marry her, that thou mayst raise seed to thy brother. He knowing that the children should not be his, when he went in to his brother’s wife, he spilled his seed upon the ground, lest children should be born in his brother’s name. And therefore the Lord slew him, because he did a detestable thing[.]
In all seriousness, since apes do it (a lot), I don’t think there ever were a “first person in history”. It’s more just a consequence of having long enough arms.
But could an elephant also have done it first?
An elephant? Why not the wooly mammoth?
All I know is that I now completely understand why the T-Rex was so aggressive all the time.
I want to know how they figured out shagging and how that creates babies.
how that created babies
Exactly how wasn’t known anywhere before1875, however most humans through history seem to have had some idea of there being a connection between sex and pregnancy. I remember reading about isolated island peoples having other ideas, like the Trobriand people who believed that an ancestral spirit entered the woman’s body and that sex had nothing to do with it. However this article claims those reports are half-true at best; the Trobriand people apparently considers sex necessary for the formation of the fetus, even if it’s not the primary cause. There’s also some speculation that humans became aware of the relationship between sex and pregnancy after the domestication of dogs because of their shorter gestation period. Ultimately, we’ll never know…
Probably like probably most people still do find out nowadays.
I wouldn’t survive long with my poor eyesight. Maybe I’d create tools or something. Love tinkering.
obsessing over plants and accidentally dooming the world with agriculture
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.
