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
What about wolves / dogs?
Nope, dogs tire out faster than humans, assuming both are fit and average.
iirc dogs do out perform humans but only in cold climates. They're also second place in general which is a big part of how the whole dog thing got started.
I guess that makes sense, them having warm coats and all
Humans are better at running long distance than doing short sprints.
Weird that you randomly got downvote bombed for asking a question. Lol.
You can’t trap a mammoth, and a mammoth feeds the tribe for weeks
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.
Infinite food glitch
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.
Just farm more than one plant?
Instructions unclear, all is corn now.
Comes out of the fucking ground!
I hate when my freshly grown pizzas start doing that. Always a bother to chase them as soon as they're rolling away
That's numberwang!
Only works if you use Brawndo -- it's got what plants crave!
Hey that’s good. You sure you’re not the smartest guy in the world?
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.
It got electrolytes!
Brainstorming the next conspiracy theory, trying to see who takes the bait.
Apparently food does grow on trees!
The trick is getting enough food out of the ground to survive on. Turns out that's a lot of work.
Server Owner need to patch this ASAP.
I don't get how does it work for food but not gold
This is meme is going to age badly.
