    It’s weird that you specify “persistence” in relation to hunting. Why wouldn’t something that requires less calorie expenditure, like trapping be more notable? Or if not trapping, then projectile weapons.

      They’re probably referencing another greentext from the perspective of a fast sprinting Elk that can’t escape the long-distance persistence endurance of a bipedal human hunter:

        the fact you seem to imply that knowledge about primitive hunting strategies is a reference to a greentext gave me psychic damage

        is this not semi-common knowledge? Common among nerds at the very least

          It is common knowledge, I merely guessed they used that specific hunting strategy over other “food hacks” because this is literally a greentext community.

        This genetic dead end appears

        Never thought I would see/hear this sentence. Of course it would come from 4chan.

      Trapping wasn’t invented by humans. Spiderwebs exist. But no other species has the ability to run for as long as humans. We’re also one of the best species at throwing objects with precision
