According to two Russian soldiers interviewed by a pro-invasion blogger, if you wear a Russian military uniform on the metro in Moscow people distance themselves and give you dirty looks.

    Do you realize that a fist can be used to break a coconut and not smash someone head? Humans evolved to be smart not to be violent

      You…. Ever try to, uh, smash a coconut with your fist?

      Curious how that went.

      “We evolved to be smart!”

      And most of the first tools we created are absolutely classified as “weapons”

        Literally the first widespread tool in human history was a fucking handaxe.

        Second was a spear.

        Dude is just talking pure nonsense.

            Chimps use clubs to fish as well as in fighting other chimps.

            Using a rock might be “tool use” but it’s not “tool manufacture” for that they’d have to substantially modify the rock (say by flaking off chips to form an edge, or shaping a stick into a cudgel.) among humans the first tools made we’re probably cudgels- used for fighting (both other people and animals. Aka, a weapon.) and possibly stone anvils and axes.

            (Hand axes would have been more tool than weapon until fitted onto a haft. Then it would be either a spear or an ax.)

              Cudgel is as made as regular rock. Just branch picked up from ground. Earliest axes that are basically sharpened stones and as weapon are about as useful as not sharpened stone, but provide ability to shape wood.
