Fermentation is just what happens when you accidentally leave stuff in a container that limits oxygen. It’s easy to make alcohol my accident. Then there’s also the fact than we don’t know how well connected the world was before writing. We know farming developed independently from studies of soil in lakes and whatnot but recipes are much harder to pin down as something invented independently.
Not sure about the swords part but the Aztecs didn’t any.
Nice one, I guess you can count it as a wooden sword with obsidian teeth. I somehow had a picture of a metal stick with an edge in my head and I knew Aztecs didn’t have those. Thanks for linking it
Yeah and then there would he couple of dudes like “Don’t worry guys, we’ll take one for the team and eat the spoiled fruit again” and go on a major bender without the prude non-spoiled fruit eaters

The macuahuitl: “Am I a joke to you?”
Instead of a sword, the Aztecs invented the baseball bat with nails sticking out.
Obsidian razor blades.
You reminded me to check if dankprecolumbianmemes made it over to lemmy

“Eww, this smells nasty and toxic… let’s drink/eat it” seems to be a common human trait.
It’s actually a common living creature trait, it seems like.

More like “my honey went off but I really need those calories… Huh, this isn’t… Completely awful.”
