As in a long time ago, say the 400s or 700 BCs or whenever grunting cavemen were around.
Do you ever really try and envision what life would have been like then? Movies set in these times just show you the "entertaining" parts of the day, not the other 99% where they sit around bored out of their goddamn minds.
You can read , write, talk, draw, sew, play cards depending on if they were invented by your time. What else? Just keep cleaning your house and staying busy that way?
No electricity ever. I mean I understand that if you grow up in certain conditions you are much more acclimated to them, like obviously people can't be frustrated with no electricity if they don't know electricity exists, but just the same it just seems like things would get really repetitive and dull. Reading the same ass books over and over.
What do you think? Thank you.

We became civilized over 9000 years ago or some shit, so your year estimate is a little off. I imagine hunting and craftsmanship were common hobbies.

i bet they never got as bored as people do these days. like you say you don't miss something you've never known. plus they had a lot more work to do just to survive in them days. societies were much smaller also, just tribes and shit. people would have been a lot more sociable. plus they prolly just fucked in their spare time. or did mushrooms around the camp fire etc.

That would fucking suck. If I had to live in the past I'd at least like to live during the time when Jesus was around so I could merc his ass before he got famous.

Way back then, if you wanted a woman, you just grabbed your club and went out and knocked one out and dragged them home. Must have been exciting times.

I wonder what the hell they'd use for toilet paper in 400s or 700 BCs? Tree bark? Nothing? Legitimate question!

I think SpectraL is more qualified to comment about living in the past than anyone here. Let's see what he has to say on this topic.

Dude, life was so fucking bad back then. You have no idea. Damn near everyone lived an extremely shitty life. Until relatively recently (internet/digital age) I most likely would have committed suicide by this point. Not that it's a bad thing, just opting out of a bad deal, a fool's errand.
