This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I think it's supposed to predate weapons, especially the bow. Like run them down then kill them with a sharp pointy rock because it's all you have.
Exactly. I saw a video once of an African tribe hunting in this style, and at the end the buffalo or whatever it was was just stationary in a clearing while the people walked up and stabbed it. It was literally too overheated to move anymore.
In persistence hunting, at least the kind that humans practice, the prey mostly dies through indirect effects like exhaustion or heat stroke. You just keep tracking until you find a dead deer lying around basically, brought down simply by constantly having to flee your incessant pursuit again and again.
