Do you think we work more or less than we did in 4000 bc?

Less. Had to be tuff work putting down a mammoth and doing all that caveman stuff.
@Dainbramadge but you killed one mamoth and had enough food for days... You didn't have to work at hrs a day every day

@Llort Yeah but that is just one caveman chore of a daily routine. Had to chip out the spear heads that it took to kill Mr.Mammoth. Had to make your own cloths and toilet paper. I just think it was more work than it is now given all the modern conveniences.
A couple hrs for weapons that she likely reused for at least a couple hunts.. the women's made the clothing... Gotta be crafty

@Llort I don't know. Takes a while to make those spear heads only to loose them or something. You had to find water and kill Mammoth near water for drinking and stuff. Either that or figure out a way to move one to the other. Then you have to protect yourself and others from predators like Saber-toothed turtle. LOL I believe we have made life a bunch easier than it was before. Each generation makes things a little easier. Shelter. Don't get me started there. LOL
We are making shit shelter these days.... Some of these homes are made out of cardboard

@Llort Yeah but compared to a cave with no walls. Also, migration. Cavemen had to migrate to follow food sources. So they never had one place to hang their hats. Moving sucks.
Moving easy when you really only have the cloths on your back and some tools... It's not like they had to move a bed up a couple flights of stairs

@Llort Or a sofa. LOL If I ever have to do that I am going to find some cavemen to help. LOL. But migrating includes lots of walking. Walking is hard.
I walked 20k steps today... It's easy as putting on foot in front of the other... That's actually exaclty what it is

@Llort LOL. OK. Final analogy of why life was harder then than it is now. No wi-fi. Cavemen had no Netflix. No porn hubb. Life had to be miserably difficult. LOL
🤔.... You know how much time.people spend taking selfies and keeping up with their Twitter/fb/Instagram/Snapchat/blah blah...


I mean... Sounds like work to me?
Dainbramadge · 56-60, M
@Llort LOL!!!!!!!!!! Yeah you are right. Those selfies don't take themselves. LOL. Maybe cave man did have a better deal. :-)
Idk... I'm just playing devil's advocate
