Question of the day:

If all humans on earth since the dawn of time had been born with a pair of salad tongs in place of one hand, and the lid to an ice bucket in the place of the other, what would our lives be like?

This is a diagram that I drew... just because.

This question came into my very strange head, when I found a racket ball, and shortly after, an ice bucket lid, and some salad tongs. I tried to invent a game out of the three things, but it is harder than it might seem. That was when I figured that if the above question was less of a "what if" and more of the truth, then life would be very different. The games we play, the way we live... there would be no need for gloves. then what would we call glove boxes? It was too big of a question to keep inside. So I asked my dad. This is what he said (but not the exact words);

If we had no hands, and therefore, no oppose able thumbs, we would still be foraging for barriers, and eating roots.

Apparently, to my dad, thumbs are the pinnacle of human development. That is something that I don't quite understand. But we, as humans (with thumbs) are not made to understand everything. Maybe if we had tongs and bucket lids. Maybe.
