Okay so Youtube started recommending these videos in a genre called “HFY” or “Humanity Fuck Yeah” which, as far as I can tell, involves AI narrators reading AI-generated stories over slideshows of AI-generated images and the stories are all military sci-fi where humans are the bestest warriors the galaxy has ever seen and kill stupid evil caricature aliens 1000:1. Once in a while there’s a story where an alien race does a massacre to humans which gives the humans an excuse to gloriously commit righteous genocide

    Lately I’ve found myself especially annoyed with the “persistence hunting” myth as there’s basically zero evidence it was ever a thing. Why would you spend days tracking a single animal when there’s far more efficient methods of gathering food? Dig up some roots my guy. Lash together canes to make a fish trap. Eat some fruit.

      No but you see everything we have as a species we owe everything we have to meat eating!!

      Really if you look at nature being able to sprint very fast = predator, being able to run for a long time = prey.
