Bronze peddler. "Hello, have you heard of bronze? Just attach it to your axe instead of stone. No more annoying stone chopping! And it's shiny!"

Excel, it wouldn't be useful but I'd still be great at it.
Great! I got a random Excel question. Sometimes when I pull reports at work the format for the price changes. Instead of showing the $ and the correct amount of spaces after the cent sign like .00, it has no $ and many digits after the cent sign like .000000000000000.
Now when I try to change the cell format back to currency, accounting, text, or anything it keeps the same format and amount of digital after the cent sign. The work around I found is to open up a different Excel doc type it in the correct format and then copy and paste over the incorrect formatted cell.
Do you can a better answer or did I explain horribly and your as confused as me when I try to fix Excel?

That’s just excel being excel.

Wash the wound with soapy water, apply cloth that has been boiled. Yeah that should have a better survival rate than most of human history.

Finding fruit trees. Hunting would be my weak point.

I would introduce them to scrumpy, then teach them to grow apples so we can make more.

There is a whole world of romance novels in this setting.
Robert Sawyer has a series of science fiction books where there's a parallel universe in which neanderthals ended up ruling the earth instead of modern day humans.
It's been a while since I read them but the fact that you comment itched that part of my brain tells me there might have been a steamy parallel universe crossover scene or two
I need to start reading again

With or without my current knowledge?
Because I'm pretty sure I could smelt Iron with what I know, and a year or two of experimentation. So the answer would be "ending the stone age".
Without? I dunno, maybe building traps and snares.
I don't even know what smelting
meantmeans. Can we be cave-friends? I'm good at sharpening knives. -

I'm a natural at shooting a traditional bow.
I know every edible plant in my area, and some that get you high.
I can find north without a compass, day and night.
I can make a fire from things I can gather in the woods.
I know how to safely fell a tree, split logs and build a shelter with hand tools.
I know how to act around most predators and have experience handling a spear.I think I'd do reasonably well.
Sometimes I wish I was born in the stone age. My ADHD is completely gone whenever I'm in the wild. -

It Excels at formatting.

Yea when I said that I excel at Excel I was somewhat exaggerating, much as I have at every job interview I've ever had. It's become something of a reflex these days. But as someone else has said I think that particular issue is just down to Excel being crap.

Soap is animal fat and what in a survival situation?

Sometimes I wish I was born in the stone age. My ADHD is completely gone whenever I'm in the wild.I started reading and was like "okay, sure buddy" then I remembered I have developed a lot of the same skills, including tracking wildlife.
And then I remembered the time I learned to identify clay deposits and to separate out the clay so I could build stuff with it.
So I thought: "wth, this is so weird! Ohh, they have ADHD too... That explains a lot".
I wasn't diagnosed at the time, when I was learning to find clay, but that should have been a sign lol
