        Definitely some kind of stone bulwark at the cave entrance to keep out the bears and prehistoric cheetahs.

          I guess I could build a cart/waggon for easier transporting the dead animals the other guys hunted. Not sure if that would be much appreciated or if I just would be the weird guy again.

          Maybe a plough would be more useful.

          And building/improving shelter.

          I could also make a fire after failing some time I suppose.

              I'm guessing "chisel thoughts" is more akin to painting than writing. I like the idea though, very Lascaux

                Recreational drug use can be traced to before written history. Bartering also existed then. I'd be a drug dealer.

                You reckon the stuff back then was potent enough that people would buy it?

                        I can imagine you making a rock hammer, and having to sit there and justify to people why the end has that weird flange. "It's for pulling things out!"

                          I’d be the best at powershell. Unfortunately I wouldn’t live very long.

                              Right, come to think of it, I definitely would be the weird guy that doesn't understand how the community works. I couldn't speak their language, wouldn't know their common practices and hierarchy.

                              I'd likely go (be exiled) on my own lonely journey (aaand this quickly die).

                                  tfw you can't say "town bike" bc bicycles won't be invented for thousands of years

                                  i think i'd make good bait though

                                    Juggling. I'd find some nice stones or pinecones and teach everyone how to juggle and do some tricks. I also know an ancient game you can play with stones or knuckle bones. And I know some songs. And stories. People in the stone age had lots of free time to pass, so all of these would come in handy.
