    Hate to be the ackshually guy but knives have been around longer than bread.

      Well then I guess the invention of bread was the greatest thing since sliced meat.

      Yeah but knives weren’t something you’d use on bread for a very long time. And we didn’t start actually cutting bread for even longer.

        So we had the technology we just didn’t know how to use it to its full potential.

      We only think that because the bread fossil record is much murkier

        isn’t it logical to think that though?

        bread requires figuring out that ground up grain with water can be poured onto a rock heated up by fire and made into a tasty pancake thingy

        a knife requires a sharp rock, a stick, and a bit of rope made out of tightly twisted plant fibers

        i’m reasonably confident if i was thrown into a jungle i’d be able to DIY myself a basic knife within a day or two, perhaps even before getting mauled by wild animals. Bread though? Even with the foresight of knowing what i need i’d struggle. Rocks, sticks, and plants are pretty much everywhere. Where do i find wild grain??

    For some reason torn chunks taste better to me
