The maths proved it was a time machine. The issue was that the speed of travel was one second per second.
"Can you make it go faster?"
"Impossible. We can make it go slower though."
"So you age faster inside the machine? What use is that?"
"We thought we'd try it with some wine and cheese?"

@MicroSFF the hard part is getting the cheese and wine to pull the lever when inside the machine

@klara @mym personally, I find it hard to believe that early humans didn't at least figure out "delicious warm paste" by the end of the lower paleolithic

@klara @mym I would have figured stone scrapers would be the only prerequisite to making wooden bowls and cups, and a quern could probably be used to mill a large rock into something like a cauldron, so it's plausible to me that such a thing could have happened as early as the lower paleolithic, but it's hard to prove without finding a suitable stone vessel for boiling water with, assuming that would even work.

@aeva @mym I assume that at some point they were drinking out of (the top portions of) skulls just because skulls were already in the right shape and they had to have some lying around..

@klara @mym wikipedia claims that people probably figured out how to make soup as early as the upper paleolithic, which is quite some time after archaic humans figured out how to control fire, but the same article mentions a theory that neanderthals might have boiled animal bones before drinking the marrow, which would put it in the middle paleolithic.

@molly0xfff ugh, does that mean the service is running CORBA?
-
@mym I mean they must have done something pre-pottery. No way did people have fire for so long without discovering soup.

@tmstreet the inequality is due to a failed market!
