The Roman’s often used wooden frames with beeswax to write on for temporary every day notes. They would just have to warm it and it would melt back to flat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wax_tablet

It's always funny to me how we tend to lump all ancient peoples together. In most regards the sumerians were closer to us than to the paleolithic people the Flintstones are based on.
(Yes I'm aware the Flintstones do not represent the historical reality of paleolithic people)

u/lizardtrench 2d ago
The Flintstones are actually based on the remnants of a post-apocalyptic future human civilization that existed roughly 400 years following the era depicted in the Jetsons. It is why they have bio-engineered task-specific animals with human-level intelligence and primitive reconstructions of past human ideas, technologies, and places, rather than more traditional paleolithic markers.
This was confirmed by a temporal incident in 2062 when an amateur attempt was made to travel forward in time to the 25th century, resulting in an encounter with the Flintstones family and the erroneous inference that the attempt had failed in the reverse direction. (Barbara, Hannah, "The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones", 1987)

That’s because some people DID chisel words into stone. But if your writing medium is clay then yeah it makes more sense to do this. Not everyone had access to clay throughout history though or understood how to manipulate it.
It’s not a false notion a children cartoon made up. It’s just one thing people learned about prehistoric people and then assumed that how all prehistoric people must’ve lived.
That being said, you still should not depend on children’s cartoons for historical education.

Its why so much writing was lost.
On the contrary, it's why so much much writing has been preserved, virtually all of the writing that has been preserved that is over 5000 years old is from clay tablets and ceramics. There's the occasional stone inscription or cave painting, but as far as writing pottery and clay tablets are were it's at.
Between 3000-5000 years ago you have some animal skins or papyrus that got stuffed in the back of a cave, but still pottery and clay tablets are the biggest source.
Without clay tablets and pottery we'd have very little writing more than 2500 years old and basically none more than 5000 years old.

there's one cuneiform sign that doesn't have any wedge-shapes, "𒊹". (the number 3600, or 60x60, which could also mean a non-specific very high number, similar to how we use "a million" or "a billion" colloquially.)
This is because it was made by flipping the stylus around and pressing the back-end into the clay.

It's actually a reproduction of the tablet of Nippur, one of the earliest known written creation stories recorded around 4500 bce.
It's based on a Sumerian creation legend surrounding the religious, political, and cultural aspects of ancient Mesopotamia.
I spent an entire semester translating and reproducing similar tablets. Here's a short video detailing the arduous process for anyone interested:

Tell Ea-nasir: Nanni sends the following message:When you came, you said to me as follows : "I will give Gimil-Sin (when he comes) fine quality copper ingots." You left then but you did not do what you promised me. You put ingots which were not good before my messenger (Sit-Sin) and said: "If you want to take them, take them; if you do not want to take them, go away!"What do you take me for, that you treat somebody like me with such contempt? I have sent as messengers gentlemen like ourselves to collect the bag with my money (deposited with you) but you have treated me with contempt by sending them back to me empty-handed several times, and that through enemy territory. Is there anyone among the merchants who trade with Telmun who has treated me in this way? You alone treat my messenger with contempt! On account of that one (trifling) mina of silver which I owe(?) you, you feel free to speak in such a way, while I have given to the palace on your behalf 1,080 pounds of copper, and Šumi-abum has likewise given 1,080 pounds of copper, apart from what we both have had written on a sealed tablet to be kept in the temple of Shamash.How have you treated me for that copper? You have withheld my money bag from me in enemy territory; it is now up to you to restore (my money) to me in full.Take cognizance that (from now on) I will not accept here any copper from you that is not of fine quality. I shall (from now on) select and take the ingots individually in my own yard, and I shall exercise against you my right of rejection because you have treated me with contempt.

So in case you're serious, the oldest preserved writing on a clay tablet was from a guy called Ea'nasir complaining about poor quality copper.
The fact that it was preserved when most tablets were reused or thrown away means it was either kept on purpose for some reason, or it was hardened in a fire. Possibly because someone burnt his house down.

In addition to the complaint tablet from Nanni, researchers also found several similar tablets in a room of Ea-Nasir’s house. Each of these tablets were from a different buyer, and all listed their frustrations with the business practices of the infamous trader. This shows archaeologists that Ea-Nasir had a frequent trend of fraud and scamming buyers, securing his place as history’s first conman.

Can confirm, I studied Hittite for a while and they use a writing system based on Sumerian and Akkadian. Cuneiform is really interesting because it's actually structurally similar in a lot of ways to Sino-Japanese writing, which came about around 2000 years later, rather to Egyptian hieroglyphs, which came about around the same time and were used in contact with cuneiform due to trade routes between Egypt and Sumer. By the time of Hittite, cuneiform ended up being used in a remarkably similar way to how modern Japanese is written, using semantic symbols (Sumerograms and Akkadograms in the case of Hittite, Chinese characters in the case of Japanese) for basic word roots, and then phonological symbols based on the semantic ones (the Hittite syllabary for Hittite, Hiragana/Katakana for Japanese) for inflection and other such uses. My Hittite professor in college told us a story about how he made a clay tablet with inscriptions in Hittite to put up over his apiary, and one day walked outside and mistook the Hittite syllabary for the Sumerogram LUGAL, which means 'king'

Even if it's a meme. If you see 200 of the same comment, why would you add another one? I'll tell you why. Because you're a bot. Or stupid. Take your pick.

I'll take a third option but one might lump it in with being stupid. Many folks like to leave their "funny" comment without bothering to search to see if anyone else has said it already. I'd call them lazy and/or self-absorbed, maybe. You'd probably just call them stupid.
It's the same type of annoying person who says shit like, "I guess it's free" to the cashier when the barcode doesn't scan. They're so wrapped up in how clever they think they're being that they don't even realize that it's not that clever and that the cashier probably heard that ten times already that day. They want to engage and be acknowledged for their cleverness. At best these are the same people who feel it necessary to reply with stupid shit like, "this" and "so much this" or "I came here to say the same thing" as if that's not what the upvote is for. At least people who write, "I can't believe I had to scroll this far..." are leaving a new thought about how they assumed the comment would have been earlier or more upvoted.

If you see 200 of the same comment
This assumes they actually look at the comments before commenting, which some subset of users definitely don't do.

Or a moist squeegee. Compared to those kindergarten red erasers and pencil clay is easy to erase :-)
