I still do not get it.

Are his eyes and nose supposed to look like testicles and a penis? They're upside down if so.

Is it his eyes and the line extending from his head? There's the square of his head in the way so it just doesn't look like a penis to me.

I gather it's somehow penis related, yeah?

How does that relate to the image though?

I think the allusion is probably to clouds, given that project nimbus is amazon and google cloud updating the israeli government's cloud computing and nimbus is latin for cloud. The israeli government is generally not as big on christian metaphors as the US government is.

Yes. No. Yes. Yes but not gay.

Luckily green text is fiction, no one really did this.

This is probably incorrect. Rocks preserve in the archaeological record so that's what we have the most evidence for.

Increasingly sophisticated knowledge of woodworking, textile science, plant and animal biology, mathematics and astronomy were no doubt developing alongside knapping techniques, that stuff just doesn't preserve well.

It's not fake. @Dasus@lemmy.world is correct. Stone axes, fire control, language, carpentry, glue, ocean travel - heaps of smart things predate homo sapiens sapiens. We're not the first smart species.

Usually the distinction is between "advanced communication" which some animals display, and "language", which only humans have.

Whether you want to call it language or advanced language, what we do today is way older than 10k years. There are stories that have been dated to 100k and if the arguments about erectus are correct, then what you call advanced language is probably 2m+ years old.

Language is much older than just 10k years. There's a few reasons to think that language might have developed with erectus, which could make language 10x older than the 'human specie', according to anon.

This is part of Leonard Leo's plan to re-mccarthy-ize US society and purge anyone left of fascist, same way he orchestrated the right wing take over of our courts.
