Some of the Polynesian ships were 30m long and manned by up to 200 people, they were significantly larger than the ships Magellan and Drake used to circumnavigate the world. A 30m long multi-hulled outrigger ship would provide an excellent stable platform for spearing the gently caress out of great white sharks.

That thing definitely traps your loving soul if you get stabbed with it. Also re: the big robot arms, I dunno if I could live life if I knew how to control one of those, I would just face every situation thinking "man this would be so much easier if I had my giant robot arm" Going shopping? Robot arm. Job interview? Robot arm. Traffic? Robot arm.

Some caveman knew they were the most baller motherfucker on earth carrying this around. Such amazing craftsmanship, it always bugs me a little to hear stone tools described as primitive. I've tried basic flint knapping and it is bonkers hard to make even basic items, let alone possessing the skill to make something as incredible as this.

Well I mean they are primitive. In a technological sense, that is. I don't think the term inherently excludes skill and craftmanship.

Christ. As I got closer to finishing that thing my heart-rate would be skyhigh. "Just one more chip, I'm sure it won't just shatter. Hmm, maybe just another small tap with this rock to get that edge looking better. Careful...."

Hmm, maybe just another small tap with this rock to get that edge looking better. Careful...." A good knapper will know exactly how and where to apply pressure to avoid random shattering (barring the presence of an unknown imperfection in the material which can cause uncontrolled fractures). The final removals, like those little delicate flakes around the edges, would almost certainly done by pressure-flaking/retouch (basically careful pushing), probably with a soft-hammer of antler or a hard wood like boxwood. Pressure flaking is actually a lot easier than the initial removal of large flakes with a stone hard hammer. A friend I worked with who was an excellent knapper tried to teach me how to do it (we worked with slabs of glass rather than flint since that doesn't have the risk of imperfections in the material) and I could do retouch fine but never got my head around the angles and precise application of force needed for decent hard-hammer flake removal.  Around the same time as that piece some even more staggering items were being made in Denmark. This was around the time that the first metal tools were coming into use in nearby groups and some absolute mad geniuses managed to knap flint copies of copper and bronze flat axes and blades even going as far as to replicate the completely non-functional casting seams around the edges. Mind blowing stuff. Learnt about this too long ago to remember a good search term to find images though sadly. If you want to see a modern day genius knapper at work search youtube for "John Lord flint". The guy is incredible. Watched him make two gorgeous Lower Palaeolithic biface handaxes out of a large flint nodule once, took him about 45 minutes to go from a lump of raw material to the finished pieces chatting and joking with us the whole time. Great guy. Also a drat fine rhythm and blues singer.
