They came across a bent stick and tried to kill an emu with it and when it missed it it came back.
>>
It's just a carved stick, not much of an invention really

>>52357865
Did you know Nokia still exist, and they are doing quite good too.

Zomg. It's LITERALLY a bent stick. They didn't invent it. They threw a bunch of stocks until one happened to curve a little in the air. Jesus.

Lol. I remember that movie lol. That elephant was British as fuck
>>
>boomerang

Did this ever have a real, practical use?

Seems like the things you would throw it at would be surrounded by shrubbery, trees and other things preventing the boomerang from actually returning to you (or rather ""return"" within 50 meters from you)
>>
>>52357826
some other people invented it and they kept it.
>>
>>52360525
There were two varieties of boomerang. One was the novelty one which came back to you, and the other one was a hunting boomerang which didn't come back to you.

The second one was just a large, curved stick which you threw at things in order to kill them and cook them over your fire.

Australia is full of dangerous animals and plants. How the fuck are you supposed to invent things while constantly having to fight for your life?
>lele racialial supremeacie XeD

>>52361690
Plus there was practically nobody around to invent things. The Roman Empire had over fifty million people two thousand years ago. It's estimated Australia had around half a million people about two hundred years ago.

Could the Abos oneshot Kangaroos and Emus with Boomerangs?
>>
>>52361872
Australian wildlife is tough as fuck, you gotta chase it down and beat it to death.
>>
>>52360525
Australia is mostly desert.

>>52360581
So the only use of the boomerang was not losing it when failing?

What you might be thinking is actually known as Nokia Phones, a department which was sold to Microsoft. But Nokia itself was left, which consists mainly of Nokia Networks, which operates in b2b market making wireless masts and other wireless technologies, and they are doing better than ever.

Pretty much. Since it was just a big lump of wood, it didn't exactly need a lot of maintenance.
