I mean, the earliest known currency is almost exactly as old as the earliest known cities. Farmers would deposit a large amount of grain at the local temple (which were effectively the tax collection sites of the time) and were given clay tokens on exchange, which could be used in place of actual goods at tax time. This system was set up because of the nature of farming: you make a lot of product in a short time, but most of the year you're just waiting for your crop to grow. These tokens allowed farmers to pay their tax duties up front, and then have physical proof that they'd done so when paying taxes outside of harvest season. But it was only a matter of time before people started trading those tokens amongst each other. "Give me a goat and I'll give you these tokens so you don't have to pay tribute next season." Before that, villages were pretty much just hand-to mouth communities of just a few families. Surviving, sure, but not in the kind of complex society where one needs to draw equivalence between extremely different forms of labor.

Also, lsd lasts a LONG time, and it’s easier to find a whole day to fuck off into space when you’re younger. I’ve got a kid, I can’t get 12 minutes of free time at once, let alone 12 hours.

Mint is a good choice for your first linux.

Honey Dipper. As long as you spin it (along the axis of the handle), the honey stays on the stick and doesn’t drip all over everything. When you stop spinning, it drips all over your food. It’s a niche tool but 11/10 at its one job.
