It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
maybe the hipsters will start dying younger?
One can only hope.
These urban cavemen also choose exercise routines focused on sprinting and jumping, to replicate how a prehistoric person might have fled from a mastodon.
Isn't current research hypothesizing that early humans (at least some) were endurance runners, and simply ran down the sprinters?
Dressed in a tweed coat and Italian loafers,
I'm sorry, what? FUCKING HIPSTERS.
Several identify themselves as libertarians.
Somewhow I am not surprised.
My eye muscles actually hurt from how much they just rolled.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Thanks, Gar. I just had a moment of, "Oh my god why did I buy so much meat?" when the cooler it was shipped in showed up and seemed to be bigger than my freezer...but it all fit, so that's okay.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Isn't current research hypothesizing that early humans (at least some) were endurance runners, and simply ran down the sprinters?
Yes. Sprinting to outrun a sabre tooth tiger is not a great evolutionary strategy. Stamina + learning to climb trees and/or build squash courts worked better.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You know, good for him.
-t, I have had that experience! It is hilarious to get a Big Box Of Meat. And then if you keep the stuff in the little sub-boxes, it makes your freezer look really organized for a while.

Average life span numbers are tricky, because of high infant and child mortality. The increase in modern average life spans isn't so much that people are living longer (though they are, with modern medicine) but that more children are surviving, due to aforesaid modern medicine and fewer predators.

Right, that's the evolutionary advantage to not being covered in fur and being able to sweat. There's also the idea that what separated us from the Neanderthals was collecting clams and so forth while the tide was out (which Neanderthals didn't do, specializing almost exclusively in big game hunting) which required us to do pattern-recognition so as to be able to predict tides with some accuracy and not drown.
Okay, that may have nothing to do with neo-palelithic lifestyles, but it's just so neat, I had to mention it.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Also, isn't the entire history of the human race a story of Get Inside, Shut The Door, and for Gods' Sakes, Stoke That Fire?

It does! I should inventory my freezer while it's easy to do..
