MFs will say humanity never had a golden age 😒
Here’s another hot take with the same data:
Pants may disintegrate, but flutes last forever!Isnt this just because pants dont leave a lot of traces after tens of thousands of years, while a bone flute is much more likely to do so?
This is kind of how I feel about the idea of the very first writing being chiseled in stone or engraved on clay tablets. If there was a much older civilization that never did that but invented paper and pencils instead, we’d probably never know it.
Writing on the ground is probably No. 1 then maybe carving with a stone into wood/bark as No. 2 but yeah, lots of stuff we will never see or know about because they werent preserved.
Or because it’s not immediately recognizable as writing. I wonder how long it would have taken archeologists to figure out the quipu was actually a knot-based writing system without the Spanish mentioning their use by the Incas in their records of the invasion.
The quipu is very cool, never heard of it before. Thanks for sharing :)
That’s assuming that people like Halfdan don’t exist ever
That and that people used to wear other sorts of garments that weren’t such a pain to make.
Loincloth people unite!
The earliest proof of clothing we have are needles that survive the pass of time, but not the clothes they made.
Music is definitely cooler than wearing pants.
Wearing pants is like the opposite of music, in terms of cool at least.
Robes were easier to make and were a one size fits all
Robes.
And skirts/kilts.
You don’t need pants if your tools have straps
I see it as the golden age where you can play a flute pantsless
you can still do that
Not in my town. There’s only a few things you’re allowed to play in the nude where I live; saxophone, xylophone, sousaphone, basically only if it ends in phone.
So you can be nude and play on your phone is what I’m hearing.
Just say it’s a flutaphone.
Dammit, I wanted to actually hear it!
Thanks!!
Pants are a barbarian invention anyway!
Tell that to the legions in Teutoburg forest, oh wait my ancestors slaughtered them!
Wearing pants will not get you laid, having a sick flute will…
The tyranny of pants. Set me free, music!
And thats where “rock with your cock out” and “jam with your clam out” comes from.
Oh, and here I was thinking that rocking with your cock out was stimming in the shower during a crisis in existential dread. Well, you learn something new every day.
Stimming, cock out and Lemmy. You got it bro
Where do you think Satyrs came from?
Sounds nice
