What task would you excel in if you lived in the Stone Age?
-
I'd be the hairless monkey that stays up all night and talks to plants
wouldn't that get you killed very fast?
-
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 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.

Hey I didn't say I'd be successful

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).

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.

You reckon the stuff back then was potent enough that people would buy it?
No no, it was freely given.

would you ever try to make something resembling a car / cart?
The flintstones car was a the essential tool humanity used to create civilisation so of course

Engineering and chemistry. You know, sharpening knives/arrows and distilling seawater in to salt for food preservation.

I've got some decent smithing skills, I'd go looking for bog iron and skip the bronze age.

Absolutely nothing lol. I do tech support for a living and work on cars as a hobby.
Well, cavemen also need tech support, just a different kind of tech.
Gork: "Stick go thud. I want go stab"
Pepsison: "Have you tried rebooting it?"
Gork: "?"
Pepsison: "Sorry, old habit" Sharpens his spear "try it now"

Hoarder. Of things that might conceivably be used one day.
You need weird rock? I got weird rock.

The hard part about a simple bicycle isn't actually the bicycle, it's smooth road. If you don't have that you have to invent the mountainbike and that one's not even a 100 years old.
