What is with this new atlatl crap? When I was a boy, when I wanted to throw a spear, I THREW A SPEAR. Kids today are weak.

Unnecessary tech. Just one more thing to break. They will change the knock in a few years so I have to get a new one.
Damn planned obsolescence.
I heard some kids at the watering hole talking about hunting with a bow.
What they are going to give that mammoth a new hair doo. The hell ??
Okay, protoboomer
At least I hunt for my food. You're probably one of those farming wimps I've heard about. Is that what you do, farm boy? Plow fields? Sow seeds? Typical pussy liberal shit.
A SPEAR
Hypocrite.
One stick, two sticks, who cares. If you want to throw a rock, throw it with your hand, as nature intended.
Tying it to the end of a stick is as much cheating as using another stick to make your arm longer.
Real rock throwers don't need sticks. If your arms aren't long enough that you're dragging your knuckles on the ground like our forefathers you're as weak as the kids you're criticising.
Look, I'm sympathetic to the paleolithicconservative cause, but we can't throw out all progress just because of these uppity kids!
we can't throw out all progress
Well, of course with your puny little arms you can't...
Drops dead from a single shot at 50 yards
All they know is Magdalenian, use leverage, twerk, be hominidosexual, eat grain & lie
All that modern tech, then I bet a grey-hair from Göbekli Tepe shows up in reed sandals and takes the silver with a throwing spear that doesn't even have fletching.
Lambda lambda lambda 💃
They see my atlatl, they hatin’
I thought those were the giant walking things on Hoth
I just see me stabbing either myself or the ground right in front of me with this thing.
Biggest rock is best rock

You call that a spear? That's barely long enough to be an arrow...
The odds of me running into this while listening to the Brotherband Chronicles book 2, where one of the characters use this same device, is astounding to me. I didn’t know what it was, but now I do. Thank you for sharing! On to book 3!
