- SAI_Peregrinus 11mo agoDoors are such an important invention that multiple unrelated animals have evolved modified body parts to serve as doors to burrows¹. Being able to store food is critically important for surviving low-food periods like winter without migrating. "Indoors" lets you store food without insects or other animals getting to it & stealing it. Fire allows for hardening clay, which lets you make a special tiny "indoors" called a "pot" for storing food. Also bricks so "indoors" can be made anywhere. With a roof the rain stays out & you can stay dry & warm, and not freeze at night. A significant portion of why fire is so important is it enables creating various sorts of "indoors". ¹https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phragmosis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phragmosis
- thaumasiotes 11mo ago> "Indoors" lets you store food without insects or other animals getting to it & stealing it. This isn't true of human doors; insects are very small. We've had the technology to keep things in wax-sealed clay jars for quite a while, but I'm not aware that this was done with grain, where preventing spoilage would have been most valuable. Granaries are open to the air. (And devote quite a lot of effort to slowing the spoilage of the grain.) If you wanted food that wouldn't rot, instead of keeping it in an airtight environment, you dried it.

- SketchySeaBeast 11mo agoThere's definitely a reason we use tents while camping and don't just huddle around the fire.
