Damn before 1913, bitches titties were saggin by the age of 20..

Not true, according to this study, Countering everything we’ve ever been told about supporting the upper curves, a new study from France says we’ve got it all wrong. Wearing a bra does nothing to decrease back pain, and the support offered by a brassiere actually encourages the breasts to sag. Quelle horreur

In a job presumably envied by many, Rouillon spent a decade and a half measuring the changes in breasts of hundreds of women using a slide rule and caliper at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire in Besançon. The participants were all between the ages of 18 and 35.

Of the braless women, the researchers concluded that "on average their nipples lifted on average seven millimeters in one year in relation to the shoulders."

A 28-year-old woman who took part in the study hasn't worn a bra for two years now, and doesn’t expect to go back.

"There are multiple benefits: I breathe more easily, I carry myself better, and I have less back pain," she told France Info.

I agree with you,

Since the 1950s air-conditioning has been partly responsible for the economic development of America’s sunbelt, internal migration towards which continues to this day. Never mind the cowboys out west: aircon was how the south was won. The same is true of many other parts of the world. The financial centres of Japan, the capitals of the Asian tiger economies, the hubs of the Gulf like Dubai—all would be almost unthinkable without temperature control. So too would the software that links and underpins them, since computer technology does not function well in hot and humid conditions. Without air-conditioning, the information superhighway would buckle in the heat. In South America, Spain and elsewhere in southern Europe, air-conditioning has killed the midday siesta. And the war on terror depends on it. Hi-tech, precision weaponry requires low and stable temperatures for its manufacture.

no tying rocks to sticks: flint or stone axes, spears and terbutje like weapons. I guess I am pulling teeth, after all the bow and arrow is there.
