Electric vehicles get all the press – but it’s the smaller unsung two wheelers cutting oil demand the most.

    Your ancestors hunted the mammoth on foot with a rock tied to a stick. Use that.

        I mean, we’re here, which means someone must have killed a mammoth.

        But really they didn’t hunt them with rocks on sticks. They chased them toward a cliff with their friends waiting at the bottom to dispatch any that survived the fall. This is why there’s no more mammoths.

          We didn’t just kill a mammoth, we killed all the mammoths.

            Not true, a bunch survived until a few thousand years ago up north.
