Oh lol! That looks like a Western Stemmed point! That’s the precursoriest projectile point to have chosen.
For ages the model of the Peopling of the Americas was Clovis First - that the people associated with the beautiful fluted Clovis Point tradition were the first through the ice-free corridor. But these Western Stemmed Points kept turning up very early in the PNW and they look like much older points from eastern eurasia. Clovis first was gospel though, so no-one was willing to accept the existence of a clovis precursor, even though these are what, when and where we’d expect a pre-Clovis stone tool tradition to look like.
Nowadays some kind of small pre-clovis presence is widely accepted. So these were quite controversially precursors.
Thanks for the prehistory lesson! It was genuinely very interesting! 🫶🏼

candle burning down? with nails or something in it that fall out into a metal plate to PING the time
A sundial
World’s oldest known sundial is 1500 BC
Well in its basic form it’s a literal stick in the ground, you aren’t gonna get anything more ancient than that.
if you can’t read the hours you could just look at the sky.
I guess, but sun on its own doesn’t really fit the definition of a tool
The sun.
Most likely. Bit boring though.
Icon not get it
And it was as easy to control as Point and Stick
Looks like a chicken nugget
literally just the Breeze cursor 😭
Even more so the oxygen cursor, Especially the orange one
Breeze looking similar is not surprising since it’s the next kde theme after oxygen.
That’s a big deer, Tharg. We’re going to have to double click it.
Drag and drop ?
Truly sidesplitting.
It right-clicked for me
