I would be so into the paleo lifestyle if people would lean into the roleplay aspects. I want to give myself a caveman name and develop a creation myth and lithic flake industry! I want to spend 3 hours a day foraging, 2 on cooking and chores, and the remaining 19 inventing polycule drama! I want to have concepts of ownership and trade entirely foreign to what capitalism would have us believe is natural or intuitive! These people are all just doing Atkins Diet with masculinity issues.
...also it's winter so where am I getting fresh food, my cavesona isn't having berries shipped up from Chile and slaughtering a fat young chicken every day. probably an authentic ancient diet would be dried and salted and smoked everything right now.
...unless my cavesona lives somewhere with a year-round growing season? am I displaced in space as well as time? I kind of have to be since Massachusetts' ancient Indigenous people weren't "cavemen" in any sense and also I probably shouldn't be role-playing them for funsies. the geographical origin of my own ancestors is split between Central Europe (still has hard winters) and the Near East (now my paleo diet is a Mediterranean diet?) for what that's worth. either way I guess no corn, tomatoes, turkey, or potatoes on the menu.
darnit i started this post wanting to be named Uggthor and throw spears at mammoths but next thing i know i'm out in the Fertile Crescent domesticating goats
