Eating Nuts, Slowly.

in #life10 years ago

Well, not really slowly, slowly. But I've taken 4 hours just cracking kuacis and eating them. All while trying to write something. And reading some stuff on Steemit at the same time. But I was just thinking about.. stuff more than anything else. 4 hours. That's pretty long for today's standards. Is there a standard? I don't even know why I'm feeling guilty right now. Our long-gone superancestors probably spent 16 hours a day looking for food and chewing on nuts. But my nuts came from the local grocery store in a neatly packed paperbag that costs approximately 1.50 USD. Sourced and massively processed in a kuaci farm, somewhere. I didn't have to go around hunting down my nuts - one after the next. Convenient access to food surplus is compelling me to finish my nuts fast, and get it on with all the productive forces in this fast-moving world. But maybe it's not so fast-moving after all. Instagram folks are having fun. Those highlight reels must have accounted for pretty long entertaining hours.

What are the horses doing nowadays anyway? We don't have much jobs to give them anymore. Roam free, horses.

I need a holiday.

Upvoting for the squirrel picture. I'm easy like that.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that studies of the bushmen in Africa indicate that our "long gone superancestors" probably spent MUCH much less time acquiring the basics of their sustenance than we do today. The vast majority of their time is spent in storytelling, song, dance, ritual, and goofing around.

Ah :) The "long gone superancestors" that I meant were the ones before fire / cooking was discovered. Pretty amusing thought thinking we're all probably the same goofers after calories can be hoarded and kept for long periods
