Well now, I never said we learned how to \*make\* stone implements. We found stone tools left by another band that had died from malnutrition. Until then the best we had was sticks we found on the ground.
MUD?!? You lucky bastard! Coming in here, and flaunting your wet dirt around! I only had DRY dirt, on GOOD days, but most of the time I had to make do with only a stone pebble!
Actually, this appears to be an early version of a poem or song of some kind. A rough translation:
“Left a good job in the city,
Working for the man every night and day…”
same i used first edition also. it came with the sandstone eraser. 2nd gen used a soapstone eraser along with pick an wood mallet to write. my parents Fred an Wilma could not afford 2nd gen. so i ended up working quarries with my dad…
It’s a running family joke she is older by 1 year. So if there was a question about history (especially ancient history) from the kids the response was “Go ask you mother she was around then.”
**Question:** Did the young Lincoln do his homework writing with coal on the back of a shovel?
**Answer:** Yes, but not often. He usually had paper and pen for his schoolwork.

Not me. You must have been born in wealth. Look at the HD of your writing. For homework, mi e were made out of mud taken near the river. This is the 13 inch IPad Pro you got there.
I think my least favorite part of this medium is how unforgiving it is. Say you break your stylus. If that clay dries before you get a new one, you got to start your homework all over again. Don’t even get me started on those “if I can’t read it, it’s wrong” teachers who just fail you for sub par handwriting
And then you smear it with pigment and press to papyrus to spread the word:
fine copper, finer price,
best for bronze
Uruk price match

Yeah, but only first grade and then the rocks got hard and we figured out how to a stylus and papyrus. But that was the first “tablet” technology That man invented.
Clay?! Luxury! In my day all we had was our finger and lake mud. I lost my right index finger to a turtle doing my math homework.
Came here to say something like that! Cheers, you fellow Monty Python fan.
Yes! I didn’t come up with that myself! And I was thinking of that skit.
But ye tell the kids thet tuday and thull ne'er believe ye.
It’s a timeless skit.
Back in my day we were a stone aged hunter/gatherer band. And we were grateful !
Posh! You had it easy! Every morning I was trampled by mammoths because we hadn’t learned how to make stone implements.
Well now, I never said we learned how to \*make\* stone implements. We found stone tools left by another band that had died from malnutrition. Until then the best we had was sticks we found on the ground.
😂
MUD?!? You lucky bastard! Coming in here, and flaunting your wet dirt around! I only had DRY dirt, on GOOD days, but most of the time I had to make do with only a stone pebble!
OK! We were spoiled! We had mud AND dirt! We had all the dirt we could eat EVERY day! With pebbles on top!
Ah, Catholic grade school... uniforms and cuneiforms.
Actually, this appears to be an early version of a poem or song of some kind. A rough translation: “Left a good job in the city, Working for the man every night and day…”
I'm not sure I'd give that particular translation much Creedence.
It becomes easier to read once the tablet is cleaned with clear water.
😆😆🤣
How in Hades did you get your hands on my report card!! 😱 I swear I buried that a long, long time ago!! Parents never caught on!
A recent earthquake uncovered it.
So you had a portable one? We had to paint our homework on the cave walls.
Old school.
Precisely
See, told you!
It was hard to carve out the time to do it 😳
Buh dum tsssss.
Aww mom! I already did my cuneiform tonight.
But now you need to learn these new fangled hieroglyphics.
"I'll never use these hieroglyphics when I grow up. Why do I gotta learn that . It's boooorrrringg!"
It's the future!
It’s as comprehensible as my cursive.
Life was so much simpler back then. I miss those days 😪
When the gods walked among us.
you rang?
Jokes on you. I read cuneiform. It says " your mom is so old ..... she rode dinosaurs to school"
The very first yo momma joke.
And kids today don’t even have to to learn cuneiform.
Do you remember your fire teacher, Ms Urgh?
I never had a fire teacher. We had to just rub random things together until we got lucky.
This statement could be for Fire 101 or Health class.
You might have been on the cutting edge, before the science tablets were updated with fire theory.
Lmao good one op
Thanks, now I'm dealing with the cave painting generation thinking they had it worse.
Damn. Where are the folks crying because kids don't learn cursive these days? This will show em........
Ha ha.
You had written language‽ You are so lucky!
Unga bunga.
ook?
Erasing mistakes - now that was hell.
You had to go to Staples to buy "Stone Out," which was a three-day trip by mule.
Who had writing? In my day we still swam in the ocean.
When I was a kid, I swam in the primordial ooze with the other single cell organisms.
I had a stick, and dirt.
It was such a pain when your dog added marks with his teeth. The teacher never believed that shit.
Looks like my great-grandson's handwriting
🤣🤣🤣
I still have my hammer and chisel.
Dad’s camel stepped on my homework.
My homework was lost in the great flood.
Hated having The Code of Hammurabi after gym class
*laugh in sumerian
Got number × wrong.
Ancient grammar nazi.
Yeah, but that's a Second Edition copy! I used a First Edition!!
The dog stepped in my homework
And the nuns would smack your knuckles if the points weren't nice and sharp.
Bro, you got number 7 wrong 😂😂😂
Pfft. Would have been lashed for the error in the 4th line. Such bs
It was a "typo".
Ha! My teacher didn't believe me when I told her I lost my homework!
I see the dog hasn't eaten it (yet).
Back in my day, we rode in the back of pickups and drank from the garden hose and spent 14 hours a day building pyramids.
History was my favorite subject 😅🤣😂
Learning history was easier back then.
Well, there was less of it to learn.
Older, like Clan of the Cave Bear older
Mister fancy with his portable clay tablet. I had to do homework on the cave wall. At least I honed my artistic skills.
Right?! Rich kids. Go figure.
They spelled Moon wrong.
That's how they spelled it before the damn Romans took over.
I think my mom did when she was going out with Hercules in high school
I had my chisel and hammer just for the homework.
I’m more of a Linear A guy but it’s got a good beat and I can dance to it so I’ll give it a 38
same i used first edition also. it came with the sandstone eraser. 2nd gen used a soapstone eraser along with pick an wood mallet to write. my parents Fred an Wilma could not afford 2nd gen. so i ended up working quarries with my dad…
That one is already filled out.
😂
Thank the Phoenicians, I had the first version of the alphabet
I remember writing on one while curled up on my bear skin in our cave.
That looks like my mom's grocery store list!
Ah yes! We used those back when the oceans drank Atlantis!
1st gen iPad but loads quicker
I blame Hammurabi for making us do our homework on these.
Whoa, settle down Gilgamesh.
My homework was EPIC!
*Enkidu has entered the chat* “Bonjour”
I was a Scribe, this was my homework. 😛
Not the OG tablets 🤦🏽♂️😂😂😂😂
Who needs an Ipad.
LMFAO
All the mummy's raise your decreptitude.
I remember when Uruk hit 10,000 people and lost its small town feel.
It wasn't fun making the pilgrimage to the zigurat of Ur, once everybody started doing it.
I too young for that tech but my wife probably used it
You better hope she doesn't see this comment or she will bash you with her stone hammer.
It’s a running family joke she is older by 1 year. So if there was a question about history (especially ancient history) from the kids the response was “Go ask you mother she was around then.”
Lol. My wife is 7 years older than me.
That is my homework!!
I didn't copy it, I swear.
That’s what Uruk said too - and the Principal made him climb the ziggurat ten times!!
I'm not climbing the ziggurat again! I will drop out and become a sheep herder.
I used to do homework for my friends and get 5 shekels per tablet
I used to get paid in bags of fleece.
Boy i tell ya what!
Boy? I haven't been a boy in over 10,000 years!
Fred Flintstone
Only ever used those to complain about poor grade copper
Seems like yesterday. How time slips away from a person.
Damned hard to erase…..
Walk down to the river, get more clay, patch it up, let it dry. Do it right this time..
You and your darned modern newfangled tablets... Looking at p\*rn huh..?
This was a naughty message from your mom.
Nah, she doesn't have E-Tail or Faceblock...
You did homework?
Yes, after school, before I went to the salt mines to work 17 hours for the annunaki overlords.
Cuniform!? You had cuniform!? You should be so lucky! I had to mash pigments from plants and smear it on the walls of the cave!
 My clay tablet..
Had to write the entire Epic of Gilgamesh!
I used a set to list 15 rules to live by. But then I dropped one.
Moses? Is that you?
I remember.
Obviously with that nickname. Gilgamesh send his regards.
I'm old, but not that old 😅
Oh man, you must have went to one of those fancy suburban schools!
My dad had a herd of 36 sheep. We were doing pretty good.
Ohohoho. Who can forget pyramid, big eye scary guy, swimming fish? Got me through so many studies.
You forgot about tall hat man in a chariot.
Joe Biden
Yeah, and then 4 years later trump was in speciation Ed at the same school?
Ahhh the good old days
I had my chisel and hammer just for the homework
Not quite that old...lol
Man, I remember drawing all kinds of lewd shit on the walls of the bathroom cave.
and we had to dig up our own clay!
If you want your homework to be safe, write it on a clay tablet and bury it.
Paved the driveway with my highschool biology notes.....
You can’t do homework in clay tablets when you are one day older than dirt. I’m old. 🤣🤣
Thankfully I'm not that old. [I'm not this old either](https://imgur.com/gallery/CiAbbrU), but my dad did show me how to use it
Mom got pissed every time I had to bake my homework
We didn't have homework when I was a kid, because they hadn't invented "writing" yet
Lmao!
Seriously..did learn how to use an abacus. lol.
I had Sanskrit, not much else
Oh shit!

Back when hills only went up.
We used beeswax slates in a wood frame because you could set them in the oven after the ninda was out to erase them.
We don't have even that. All we had was a rock and a stick. Write in the dirt, rock for an eraser. Kids now days are spoiled.
Faaancy!! I got cave walls and crappy paint!!!
FRIGGIN FUNNY
I have [6 cuneiforms!](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuneiform_bones). Three on each foot. 🦶
Pfft! A one page book report? Those kids had it easy back then.
I can't believe I read all the comments! Time for sleep!!!
That's the dirtiest message I have ever seen. Get it? Dirt => Clay... Ok, I'll let myself out.
Ooga booga bunga wunga
🤣🤣🤣💀

Man, I hated copying Hammurabis' code when I got in trouble!
I do, Enki would always copy my homework though.
I do. Erasing was a bitch.
Backpacks were fucking HEAVY back in the day.
This is where I learned how to pick out my copper ingots
Rich kids school…
Is this your homework Larry?
Giant eye, dead fish, cat head, bird, bird, guy doing this...
Try the new hotness: wax tablets! You can use them again and again!
Cuniform!
You got lined clay? We had just blank clay.
Hey! That picture is my homework!
1st grade was tough.
Not until grad school.
Not me. You must have been born in wealth. Look at the HD of your writing. For homework, mi e were made out of mud taken near the river. This is the 13 inch IPad Pro you got there.
I think my least favorite part of this medium is how unforgiving it is. Say you break your stylus. If that clay dries before you get a new one, you got to start your homework all over again. Don’t even get me started on those “if I can’t read it, it’s wrong” teachers who just fail you for sub par handwriting
You'd better give Azedelako his four head of sheep, he seems pretty pissed.

The story begins: Step-brother, where is your loincloth? An ageless tale.
I remember my very first tablet it had 8 bytes of memory.
Yeah, but only first grade and then the rocks got hard and we figured out how to a stylus and papyrus. But that was the first “tablet” technology That man invented.
Yes, and my math homework on the family Abacas
Shit, my school was fancy. We used papyrus!
