I can't believe we, as a species, invented bread and cheese - two things that require multiple, complicated steps as well as microbe husbandry - and this is the best political system we've got

I don’t disagree with your point, but to be fair, cheese is just leaving the milk out and taking increasingly bolder risks with “I dare you to eat this, Clarg”/“fuck it, I’ll eat it, I’m tired”, both highly gremliny thought processes that absolutely transcend the ages
