Welcome to the stone age... or the bronze age... or the iron age... heck, anything with an 'age' is welcome, except our modern age or any ages to come.
This is about what the internet was like thousands of years ago back when it all started. Like when Darius the Great hired mercenaries via Craigslist or when Egypt invented emojis.
CODE OF LAWS
1 - Be civil. No name calling, no fighting, keep your flint hand axes inside your leather pouches at all times.
2 - Keep the AI stuff to a minimum. It gets annoying and old fashioned memes are more fun for everyone.
3 - None of this newfangled modern 21st century nonsense. We don't even know what "21st century" means.
4 - No porn/explicit content. The king is sensitive about these things.
5 - No lemmy.world TOS violations will be tolerated. So there.
6 - There is no ~~rule~~ law 6.
Laws of justice which Hammurabi, the wise king, established. A righteous law, and pious statute did he teach the land. Hammurabi, the protecting king am I. I have not withdrawn myself from the men, whom Bel gave to me, the rule over whom Marduk gave to me, I was not negligent, but I made them a peaceful abiding-place. I expounded all great difficulties, I made the light shine upon them. With the mighty weapons which Zamama and Ishtar entrusted to me, with the keen vision with which Ea endowed me, with the wisdom that Marduk gave me, I have uprooted the enemy above and below (in north and south), subdued the earth, brought prosperity to the land, guaranteed security to the inhabitants in their homes; a disturber was not permitted. The great gods have called me, I am the salvation-bearing shepherd, whose staff is straight, the good shadow that is spread over my city; on my breast I cherish the inhabitants of the land of Sumer and Akkad; in my shelter I have let them repose in peace; in my deep wisdom have I enclosed them. That the strong might not injure the weak, in order to protect the widows and orphans, I have in Babylon the city where Anu and Bel raise high their head, in E-Sagil, the Temple, whose foundations stand firm as heaven and earth, in order to bespeak justice in the land, to settle all disputes, and heal all injuries, set up these my precious words, written upon my memorial stone, before the image of me, as king of righteousness.
Explanation: While we often think of humankind's advantage over the animal kingdom as being technological or in the form of superior intelligence, an early advantage was persistence hunting, wherein we, as bipeds who are capable of sweating to reduce our body heat, can literally walk down prey which lacks our advantages.
Silly me. I clicked through to expound, only to find that you're the OP and so, of course, you're already there with the lore drop. π€πΌπ€
Keep killin' it, savior of the sentient masses. π
May many respiratorially-challenged small dogs bless you, my child π€
May they have all the pocket rocks they can juggle. π€πΌ
We're the terminators of the animal kingdom. We never stop coming.
Yeah, that's how we're going extinct, too. No one eats the overage. π₯Ή
That's not really how these things work. It's not going to be like someone eats the very last edible thing one day and then a week later all of humanity is dead.
I meant the extra people... (ie. "always coming")
Well that's even less likely to cause our extinction, by definition.
I think people often conflate "the collapse of the comfortable familiar civilization I'm currently part of" with "the literal extinction of the human species, full stop, the end." The two situations are not remotely comparable.
Interesting take, considering the collapse of civilization itself on a global scale would also include said species' recall of the term "extinction", much less the adjacent topics, technology, et al.
Your contrarian rebuttal hinges on the barest of linguistic technicalities, whereas my point (which began as a lowbrow joke, let's not forget) implies the worldwide annihilation of collective humanity itself... but that's "correct" enough for you?
You're leaning on an "um, akshually"? Really? π€¦πΌββοΈ FFS.
Are you running as a Democrat or something? π€
Lion, falling behind: βIβm wasted on cross countryβwe cats are natural sprinters!β
I'd watch that Wizard of Oz, for sure.
wow way to discount the art of tracking. Where do you think that deer ran off to? Because these droppings are telling me your ass is starving to death tonight.
Human empathy is actually a highly effective hunting technique!
I remember some book everyone was into a few years ago about running
I think its this one Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen
