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.

          They weren’t very good at living for eternity? And really, who would want to?
