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:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Hunter gathers (which human are from an evolutionary perspective) worked 4 hours a day and would have had a lot of exercise.

They were around similar, closely related people, with a united culture and strong community.

Their form of stress would have been "oh fuck a bear. Let's get away". "Wow remember when we spend 10 minutes this week stressed about a bear"

Humans work a shit load, including getting ready for work. Don't have time to sleep enough. Human society is largely devoid of anything that it should be, not enough of the stuff that mattered and too much of everything else. Low level stress is constant.
