      It’s weird that you specify “persistence” in relation to hunting. Why wouldn’t something that requires less calorie expenditure, like trapping be more notable? Or if not trapping, then projectile weapons.

        They’re probably referencing another greentext from the perspective of a fast sprinting Elk that can’t escape the long-distance persistence endurance of a bipedal human hunter:

          the fact you seem to imply that knowledge about primitive hunting strategies is a reference to a greentext gave me psychic damage

          is this not semi-common knowledge? Common among nerds at the very least

            It is common knowledge, I merely guessed they used that specific hunting strategy over other “food hacks” because this is literally a greentext community.

          This genetic dead end appears

          Never thought I would see/hear this sentence. Of course it would come from 4chan.

        Trapping wasn’t invented by humans. Spiderwebs exist. But no other species has the ability to run for as long as humans. We’re also one of the best species at throwing objects with precision

        Humans are better at running long distance than doing short sprints.

          It’s thought that the discovery could shed new light on how humans hunted mammoths, with archaeologists surmising that groups of 20 to 30 human hunters would have used torches and branches to separate individual mammoths from the herd, and steer them into the traps.

      Pfft some glitch, you have to accept a massive nerf to average height, dental hygiene, disease load and interpersonal violence. Broad spectrum subsistence has a much higher skill cap.

        I don’t think so. I watched “Idiocracy” for years before realizing it has

        a brief post-credits scene

        in which the pimp character wakes up from his cryogenic sleep and goes looking for his money.

    The trick is getting enough food out of the ground to survive on. Turns out that’s a lot of work.
