I see you over there picking weeds.

And tending to those wild plants.

And that's basically the, you know, kind of, I guess the argument for the beginning of agriculture, at least, right?

That's right.

So things are going along swimmingly.

People are not moving around as much.

They enjoy sitting for the first time and things like that.

And then all of a sudden...

The YD comes along and the glacial conditions return in the broad sense in a very quick way.

I mean, how long did it take?

Like, I mean, the whole thing was like a thousand years, but we reached kind of close to that last glacial maximum in about 500 years.

I wonder if they were like, hey, does anyone think it's getting colder?

Right, yeah, yeah.

Just keep planting those plants.

We'd be so much drunker today.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's super quick.

And again, you know, whenever you talk about this kind of stuff, you got to zoom out and look at it from a sort of macro point of view.

But yeah, that's super fast and got super hot and also super cold previously during the YDs, which was named, by the way, after a flower, the Dryas octopetala.

Yeah.
