Oh you'll stop playing all right, you and your entire kin.

Humans are the It Follows nightmare for animals.

For the vast majority of human history we have just been throwing sticks and stones and just got better at it.

Throwing stones by hand, invent slings to throw stones faster and further, invent siege engines to throw bigger stones even farther.

Throwing sticks by hand, sharpening the sticks into thrown spears, invent the atlal to throw the spears further and with more power, make the sticks smaller and invent bow to shoot them with more speed and even further, invent siege engines to throw bigger sticks with more power.

puny hairless apecuks!

I'd argue we're still just throwing (highly processed) rocks but much much faster using gunpowder to accelerate them through the tube of handheld devices

Guns? Actually just throwing rocks at high speed.

Nuclear bomb? Throwing a special, spicy rock.

It really is just rock chucking all the way down, projectile combat completely broke the meta

it is similar to how any kind of widely used power plant is basically just a steam machine. the difference is how we create the heat, but no matter if we burn coal or split atom there, it is still just a steam machine. if we some day finally manage to get fusion reactors to work, it will still be just a steam machine.

I have to separate my cats for feeding and one of them isn't fond of the process so she runs away from me. I simply follow her at a walking pace saying, "You cannot defeat the persistence predator," until she gives up. It never takes long.

Guns I'll grant you, but

Nuclear bomb? Throwing a special, spicy rock

"Spicy" is doing a lot of work there lol.

And then the theoretical peak of space combat, throwing big rocks at planets from orbit

Yep, the antimatter annihilation reactor goes into the boiling water again!

"ImAcArNIVorE"

Are humans OP?

Skill issue

TierZoo is the fucking best. He's also on Nebula for those with a subscription.

We need to figure out a way to boil water by throwing rocks.

Alternatively tungsten rods (rods from god) which is throwing sticks from space

Inyalowda deserved that shit, sasa?

just throws sticks

infinite stamina

one part of his kit

Yeah maybe being able to count also helps

Human beings really are the high skill, high reward spec. And like every other game ever, we get a bunch of dead weight teammates that the pros have to carry. We could be competing with other regions (planets/galaxies) already. Smh

Very tiny, very hot rocks.

Throw rock so hard it hits water with enough force to boil it. Like that old "how hard would I have to slap a chicken to instantly cook it?" thing

Carbon and nitrogen isotope testing prove that we ate animals.

Rocks that spit bees out of their mouths

This was written by every megafauna we drove to extinction

RUN THE FUCKING ANIMALS OFF A CLIFF

Or just hang out with them all the time, mostly being nice, so they get used to not running away and we don't have to find or chase them when we are hungry.

My cats went offense instead of defense / escape for the period during which I had to do it.

Well, except the ones we just drove over cliffs with fire by the hundreds so we could harvest the good bits

Dawn of the Squishy Things moment

Based Apepilled and Staminamaxxing meta.

Maybe you should keep up with the meta of instead of just spamming the same old strat.

Working fine for the best predator in the sea, even before the dawn of trees. So, meta is the issue.

Yes, but not everything that was a good decision in the past is a good decision today. The ability to adapt to changing external conditions is what marks an intelligent species.

Homo sapiens sapiens eating megafauna is a fact.

What you choose to do is up to you.

Except for the time we tried poking with pointy sticks and swing sharp sticks. It worked for a while, but then we got even better at throwing sharp sticks further and hit all the stick pokers before they could get close.

You might want to update your literature.

Don't bother, that user is the moderator of "Friendly Carnivore@discuss.online"

I'm sorry but I don't understand. Could you explain what this image and your comment are meant to be about?

And purposeful shrapnel is just throwing rocks that throw more rocks.

Endurance mogged

Invent fire.

Invent guns to throw specifically shaped stones at 1000fps using fire.

Like humans don't just spam walk strats

Solar and wind would like a word.

Griefers. We have griefers who for some reason, we voted to lead us.

Don't we have the strongest bite force of all the great apes

it's like when your buddy backs you against the wall in mortal combat and just spams low kick

We throw neutrons at uranium.

Relative to size but not overall.
