    Ironically, brute force. I would be great at hunting too!

      Digging holes with a shovel. I'm good at that.

      Whittling. Drawing.

      Meditation.

              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.

              I had someone at work ask me if I was an expert at Excel. I've written macros in VBA and made formulas that would have been easier as a macro so I could save them as xlsx instead of xlsm. I said yes, with some hesitation. She asked me if I could help her with a problem and I said sure. The problem was a bunch of hidden cells. At least it wasn't a bunch of data she'd deleted and wanted me to get back for her.

              The amazing part was how hard it was to show the cells in the latest version of Excel.

                        You'd be a lot taller and probably also faster (maybe not stronger). You'd become a god-king in no time. Or be killed as a monster.

                          While I believe you, dear nutsack, take a minute and think about the whole process of sucking dick before showers were a thing.

                            Counting and therefore distributing spoils fairly.
                            I would become a well-loved chief and would probably get laid more than I currently do, although the hairy partners may not be of my liking.

                              eh beauty is relative and you'd get used to it. It sounds like you'd be the village sandwich maker, and yes I can imagine that being a very prestigious position

                                    Oh! I'm actually somewhat decent with some useful things. I got sent to a wilderness school for fuck up kids when I was a teen. So I know how to, and have applied a lot of survival stuff.

                                    I know how to effectively make a somewhat permanent shelter. I can make and use a bow drill to make fire, and along the same principal but with much more effort and time I could make fire with hand drill or fire plough techniques. I know how to make basic traps. I can make cordage, and have very, very very basic tracking skills. I know some edible and toxic plants in my area (not exhaustive by any means). I know how to clean and dress game. There's a lot of other stuff, but those popped into my head immediately.

                                    I'd actually be a decent person to have around!

                                        I think excel would be good software for managing hunter rotations, supplies and stone inventory.
