A man with dark hair shouts excitedly at his friends, "BROS! IT'S TIME! TIME TO UNLEASH YOUR INNER CAVEMAN!" while two other men roar back "YEAH" and "WOOO," all of them hyped up as if about to do something wild. The caption beneath deflates the macho energy: "Later, the men engaged in a cooperative system of social reciprocity in order to make good use of scarce resources in a hunter-gatherer society." The joke is that real caveman behavior was mundane cooperation, not aggression. Votey: an extreme close-up of one man's face, mouth gaping wide in a passionate yell, shouting "LET'S EAT NUTRIENT-RICH, HIGH FIBER LOCAL PRODUCE WOOOOOOOOOOOO" — channeling all that bravado into enthusiasm for healthy foraged vegetables.
