1/ Um, A 2012 study from the site of Kathu Pan in South Africa suggests that hominids, possibly Homo heidelbergensis, may have developed the technology of hafted stone-tipped spears in Africa about 500,000 years ago. I struggle to name any army where the sword as the primary weapon, OK, maybe the Romans and Gauls kinda-ish, but they invariably carried other stuff to dish out grief first.
The spear and the bow were invented before the sword and can be manufactured more easily and more cheaply. Any army equipped with just swords would be at a massive disadvantage as they would be taking casualties from ranged attacks with no way to respond. The Romans mitigated this damage somewhat by shield formations like the testudo but still had Hastati with spears and later two javelins, both foot and mounted archers as well as slingers launching stone and lead projectiles at over 100mph.
I have a colleague that’snlike that. He always, without fail, manages to ‘correct’ everyone. He’s also a grouchy as fuck ‘old dude’. He is in fact my age, but somehow he looks, acts and geberally responds ‘old’. Inhonestly wonder how hengot to this age with his overall attitude towards life. The attitude that just sucks the soul outnof every little thing.
That's been happening for years. Sometimes it's organic, and it's glorious. Other times it's planned just to fuck with someone. Depending on how frustrated the other person gets, it can also be glorious.
BC being Before Christ, so the numbers go in the other direction. Means 7999 is after 8000. So since hammers were invented the year prior, this is a valid depiction.

I get the vibe a lot of these comments in the images are just autistic people who struggle to grasp sarcasm

I've been told that this can be an autistic trait, to not understand if something is not said directly, but I am not 100% sure if that's true or not.

This is how i see those people who comment "should wear a helmet" on basically anything where people aren't slowly walking.

It could also be translated to "Happy Ending"

Half of the responders are 10 years old and haven’t yet grasped sarcasm? Also, some never do…

Wonder if we've reached the point of the meta humour being to comment as if you don't get it... You know it's where we're heading

It's like "Oh nice! No one took the bait yet? Guess I'll take one for the team. I'm just happy to be involved"

Ok I'll bite: But he is holding a hammer.
JamesFaction
Because 7999 is cheaper than 8000, so he could afford to buy one.
kershaw
7999 BC is closer to us than 8000 BC. So the hammer is invented and a year later he is using it.
Knaxia
BC being Before Christ, so the numbers go in the other direction. Means 7999 is after 8000. So since hammers were invented the year prior, this is a valid depiction.

Yes, because 7999 BC is one year after 8000 BC.

Um, 7999 is *less* than 8000, therefore it’s earlier. Any kindergartener knows that. Learn some geometry. Geez
