Jim's Cafe, 2nd of June, 2021

[Dante]

I was pretty panic and hopeless in the recent days. I called those days "downs", when everything is just worse in general and my actions can be a bit too much.

The Ancient Cavern
You see a cave with a lot of pictures drawn by an ancient group of people. They are mostly drawings depicting various activities of this people group, like hunting and herding. What interests you most?

• A deer hunt, with dogs (or wolves) following hunters
• A grain (not sure what kind of crop) harvest, with cats chasing mice.
• A harvest of fruits that look like oranges or lemons.
• A group of people gathering by a smoking campfire.
• A group of people butchering meat, cutting something, and put them in a pot. Cooking, for sure.
• A small person playing stick with a dog.
• A group of people making spears and bows, probably used for hunting.
• A group of people making pots and bowls, probably from clay.
• A group of people cutting down trees, and planting saplings.
• A group of fishing boats on the waves, and people throwing nets.
• A group people bowing to a seal, and offering fishes.

Well, the last one is suspicious but the seal simply said "Neaurgh. Blurgh. Argh. Blegg.", then walk to the nearest pond and rest.

I like your continued theme Always fun.

I think I'd be more interested in either of the following:

• A group of people making spears and bows, probably used for hunting.
• A group of people making pots and bowls, probably from clay.

Making something skilled with my hands has always been appealing, and gets steadily more so the older I get. I have this favourite fantasy (it would be a plan except that I doubt I will ever get the chance to do it) of when I finally get my own place I would make my own furniture out of wood, really sturdy and built to last stuff, unlike the flimsy rubbish you get in shops, MY furnature would be heavily overengineered to the point where it is heavy, a little chunky, comfortable, and absolutely indestructible.

My dad has some pretty hefty and indestructible furniture, it survived 3 rowdy kids growing up abusing them entirely intact, and I want something like that.

Thanks @johnDoen !

I guess all of those things are cavemen doing cavemen things, but the last one stands out to me:

• A group people bowing to a seal, and offering fishes.

Maybe that's not a seal, but a strangely shaped living being who just emerged from that capsule above that I thought was a cloud at first...

In general, it's always fascinating to see pictures of cavemen doing cavemen things in caves, except when occasionally there's something that looks like it just might be aliens visiting us millennia ago.

I would say the group huddled around the campfire. I wonder what they talked about, in their culture, jokes and stories they told. What did they ate together...
How did they make the fire.. I did this a lot with my dad so its kind of nostalgic. There's something so primitive yet deep and spiritual about sharing a fire with someone.

I love the concept here, the small group whether family, clan, tribe and growing into communities with a varied collection of activities geared to the survival: hunting, fishing, building shelter and tools and ways to preserve foods. I would probably be drawn more to hunting and fishing since I have done those since a child and always have done wood work and carpentry.

thank you @johnDoen for opening the cafe and inviting me.

for me it would be the people bowing to a seal offering fish.

mike...

Looks like @johnDoen took on what I still think of as my role. Even though I haven't been on here much in a year. 💕💕💕

@Innocent Forever, I miss your café themed threads. Do you remember when we went on the virtual camping trip? That was really fun and if you used your imagination it actually felt like we all went away together for the weekend. And @Emerald Hyperion sure knew how to make us laugh back then! Just a bit of nostalgia...

Thank you @johnDoen for opening the café today - you're doing a great job with it too! The cave drawing that interests me the most is the person playing stick with a dog since I've always loved animals.

Ty for tagging me @johnDoen & for opening the cafe today
I pick the people around the campfire, all the drawings seem interesting in some way though.

 

[Baywasp]

Thanks for the tag @johnDoen
I think I'm interested in the fruit harvest drawing. Probably my body's way of letting me know I don't have enough fresh fruit and veggies in my diet.

 

[Road to Nowhere]

Thanks! for opening the cafe and the tag john.

The Ancient Cavern

You see a cave with a lot of pictures drawn by an ancient group of people. They are mostly drawings depicting various activities of this people group, like hunting and herding. What interests you most?

1. A group of people making spears and bows, probably used for hunting.

2. A group of fishing boats on the wave, and people throwing nets.

3. A group of people bowing to a seal, and offering fishes.

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

I would pick people around a campfire. I always like doing that.

 

[sinking_ship]

Thanks for the tag!

I would be drawn to the person playing with the dog. There's something charming about that idea that even in much harder times, people would still love animal companions.

 

[johnDoen]

@may71, the state is called Telengana.
@Innocent Forever and @extraterrestrialone, what is a role?

You can come up with new pictures that you think a group of cavemen would draw on a cave.

 

[dandelions]

@Innocent Forever and @extraterrestrialone, what is a role?

way back when I joined SF, @Innocent Forever was always opening the cafe. To me, that, then was her role - as "Cafe opener". Those were the good old days!!! 😍. Nowadays lately you've been opening. That's your role now! Hey! and these days are being pretty good too. Both of you have a special style people such as myself (and humans too) appreciate ❤️❤️❤️👽!!!

I don't really think too much of that. I mean I posted these Jim's Cafe threads when I was bored from all the work, and only when I'm somewhat feeling better.

Thank you, anyways.

they are creative, unique and inspiring.

Agreed. I always enjoy seeing what @johnDoen has posted in starting the cafe.

 

[Lane]

Thank you @johnDoen for tagging me and making me think outside of the box.

I'd pick the group of people making pots out of clay. There's something interesting to me about people creating together in ancient times.

 

[Kiwi2016]

Thanks for opening and the tag @johnDoen ... a day late (as usual)... I would chose the gathering around the campfire and listening to the stories told by the elders...

I still kinda see it as 'my' job/role which makes zero sense.
I love how things evolve with time.
It definitely was fun!

You can come up with new pictures that you think a group of cavemen would draw on a cave.

A part you play, or a position. At one point I opened the café every day and would tag all the newcomers and everyone else. As @extraterrestrialone said, basically what you're doing now.
