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?
“Death” would be the noun, “die” the (intransitive) verb. “Dead” would be the adjective, i.e. the condition.
Although it has to be said that there’s a lot of flexibility and I’m pretty sure you could find valid ways to use each of them in all cases.
Not with that attitude it isn’t.
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”?
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.
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 have this but for bicycles and ropes exclusively. First one is out, so I’m rope guy I guess
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’ve got some decent smithing skills, I’d go looking for bog iron and skip the bronze age.
Cavernbook: a cavern where everyone chisel his/her photo and his/her thoughts
I’m guessing “chisel thoughts” is more akin to painting than writing. I like the idea though, very Lascaux
I’d be the hairless monkey that stays up all night and talks to plants
wouldn’t that get you killed very fast?
Hey I didn’t say I’d be successful
someone’s gotta be up at night, tho! Lots of theories around generational sleep patterns and teen-elderly sleep schedules leave very little time where someone isn’t just normally awake- teens naturally stay up late and prefer to sleep late, old folks naturally wake up early and sleep early.
Feeding the living with my body
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?
Juggling. I’d find some nice stones or pinecones and teach everyone how to juggle and do some tricks. I also know an ancient game you can play with stones or knuckle bones. And I know some songs. And stories. People in the stone age had lots of free time to pass, so all of these would come in handy.
Wanna form a neolithic comedy duo with me?
Okay, I’ll be the silent part
tfw you can’t say “town bike” bc bicycles won’t be invented for thousands of years
i think i’d make good bait though
The hard part about a simple bicycle isn’t actually the bicycle, it’s smooth road. If you don’t have that you have to invent the mountainbike and that one’s not even a 100 years old.
becoming a rome weirdo not for any of the usual reasons, but because someone’s gotta build the damn roads
the town (whatever the stone age word for flintstones car was)
Absolutely nothing lol. I do tech support for a living and work on cars as a hobby.
Well, cavemen also need tech support, just a different kind of tech.
Gork: “Stick go thud. I want go stab”
Pepsison: “Have you tried rebooting it?”
Gork: “?”
Pepsison: “Sorry, old habit” Sharpens his spear “try it now”
Gork: “Gork happy. Gork bring you mammoth”And with Gork happy I’m sure he can help you find the right twigs twine and logs to make a primitive cart. Soon you and Gork can haul all the mammoth you’d ever need.
Hoarder. Of things that might conceivably be used one day.
You need weird rock? I got weird rock.
Knapping.
Wait, I mean napping.
