I need to kill an elephant. What should I drive?

Your ancestors hunted the mammoth on foot with a rock tied to a stick. Use that.

Yeah but they’re all dead, what does that say about their tactics?

I mean, they hunted mammoths to extinction so, pretty fucking effective lol

I mean, we're here, which means someone must have killed a mammoth.

But really they didn't hunt them with rocks on sticks. They chased them toward a cliff with their friends waiting at the bottom to dispatch any that survived the fall. This is why there's no more mammoths.

We didn't just kill a mammoth, we killed all the mammoths.

Not true, a bunch survived until a few thousand years ago up north.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I refer you to my previous statement.

[–] radix@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Ah, the Tremors method.

[–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

Tge mammoths are all dead too so they were effective.

They weren’t very good at living for eternity? And really, who would want to?
