if we were living in tribal times

[TurdBerglar]

you know like hunter/gatherers. what do you think your job would be?

i think i'd be the guy making shit. like arrow heads and axes and other specialty tools. maybe even dwellings and other things that needed to be crafted. maybe i'd invent the wheel!

[Bob]

i'd probably waste to death as a useless child

hopefully nobody'd rape me before the end

It's not like there were many jobs to choose from, but I'd be a shaman or doctor type. It's not like they have to train, they just get people to eat monkey shit and jab them with tree frog poison for a laugh and say it will make you better. You'd have to do it as well, "right you, you've got a headache, I want you to rub this rat piss into your eyes, punch yourself in the head, spin around 20 times, throw up and then eat it. Then you'll be fine, it's just the devils in your head, they'll soon go."

Winner.

i went to peru recently, and part of the tour was a traditional medicine man ceremony, where he made an offering to mother earth and went round the group and individually blessed everyone before stamping the offering and putting it in the metaphorical mailbox (by burning it)

one of the girls he individually blessed sat out the last 4 days of the trip with traveler's diarrhea. there's literally a 0% chance that he caused it but my point is he didn't prevent it so yeah spirituality is bullshit

You and me both man. I'd be utterly useless and my shitty genes would be taken out of existence.

[checkyourprez]

id be the big dick swanger.



you know that tribesman whos johnson is just like blam all up in your face type of shit when you watch the nature shows. that would be me.

Cave painter.

I'd paint what the rest of the tribe hunted and then no doubt a cave painter from a rival tribe would paint something and get really famous from it and I'd get all depressed and moan about how they only got popular because they have more funding and went to a prestigious art school.

Then I'd sit around wallowing in my own self-pity, waiting for the invention of alcohol.

at least you can take comfort in the fact that when you die depressed alone and earless, your cave paintings will be worth a lot of money.

Rapist

[Bob]

[Dorothy Wood]

I would invent games to play and take a lot of naps.

[Heather_D]

Rapist

That's not even remotely funny.

I think village idiot would fit you better.

[MC Moot]

I would be your interloping,vagabond type...voted most likely to have my remains discovered in a sacrificial bog burial site or encrusted in glacial ice afteer failing to cross a mountainous pass in my constant search of warmer climes...I also would probably invent the first slinky and perpetual motion machine...

[HEIRESS]

I would have probably made kick-ass poultices and been equally excellent at making cave-art paints out of sourced minerals.

Although with my body-type I probably would have ended just being a baby-making machine.

Oh, and I would have met my end attempting to steal a smilodon kitten to make my pet.

[cosmo105]

OMG smilodon kitten sounds so adorable :o

[Pres Zount]

You're both under arrest and also voted out of the tribe.

[silence7]

I love the Elder Scrolls games (Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim) and I find that I spend quite a lot of time wandering around the maps picking ingrediants here and there. So probably medicine man.

I'm down with the cave painting as well.

Don't worry honey. I'll have your brontosaurus steak waiting for you on the table when you get home.
