Sleeping and eating

Coal mining, I fucking love mining coal

Excel, it wouldn't be useful but I'd still be great at it.

Dying from a decease.

Knapping flint while fishing. And shitting under a tree. I feel like my ancestors have more in common than I thought.

Hitting people with a cudgel

min-maxxing my sticks

obsessing over plants and accidentally dooming the world with agriculture

Wanking

dying

Selling camping gear

technical art and programming for video games

I wouldn’t survive long with my poor eyesight. Maybe I’d create tools or something. Love tinkering.

Butchering, I live on a farm and butcher sheep/lamb and chicken is second nature to me ( started when I was 12 )

Eating the rich—if they tried.

I would invent God so others would do all the hunting and gathering for me while I partied in the cave basement drawing on the walls.

Cave paintings, since I'm an artist! 😃 Also probably building tools and things since I enjoy building stuff in general

Dying quickly

I want to say "crossfit".

drawing dongs everywhere

Reaching things on top of the fridge would be my special skill. I hope they'd create a special government position just for people like me.

Being that person providing a better method halfway through a process. A cave person standing on top of another to cave art the ceiling? Halfway through I go "...You know you coulda just grabbed the log from outside, leaned it against the wall and climbed it". Someone halfway through whittling a bowl? "Oh, yeah, I saw some coconuts on the beach they'd be perfect".

I have the great hobby of Looking At Random Things, but the bad habit of assuming everyone else saw those things too so they must be doing what they're doing for a reason lol. That all said I'm sure I'd be dead from dysentery within a week or smtg, they wouldn't have to suffer me long.

I'd be a good forager, gatherer and tracker. I have a knack for identifying plants and animals and spotting signs of their presence. I'm sure with a bit of training I could become decent at trapping too but I've never done that.

I'd also be good at art, be that cave wall painting or figurine sculpting/carving.

Chef

Wololooo

Dying

I can make soap from fats and lye (from wood ash). Getting the right balance of fats/lye would be tricky; I've never used wood ash so I'd need some time to work out the right formula. But, theoretically, I could make handmade soap for everyone.

Probably tool making.

It would take time to get back into it, but I was turning out decent knives, spear points, and arrowheads for a while there. Nothing that would blow anyone's mind as art, but pretty enough and usable.

One of those things I did just because I wanted to see if I could, and it turned out to be really relaxing and enjoyable. Arthritis took the enjoyable and relaxing part away, so I stopped, but on a survival level, I could get the job done well enough to make up for being a bottom tier hunter.

Make booze

I'm reasonably good at surviving pregnancy and childbirth, and nursing. Think all my other skills are only useful after the agricultural revolution.

Sloth simulator

If I had my current knowledge, low-level iron forging, agriculture, and architecture (cisterns, wells, deep food storage) and very rudimentary medicine because the wife is obsessed with various herbs that are used to make our modern medicine

If I was starting from scratch, probably just be decent at hunting because I have good hand eye coordination and maybe tracking
