    wolves just kept eating our waste

    You may wanna edit this to say trash, it sounds like you’re saying wolves followed us around eating our shit, which afaik isn’t a theory for dog domestication.

        I always thought us up here in America’s hat called it garbage, and those guys down in Canada’s shorts called it trash.

        I’m 31 and just googled the difference. Ohh fiuuuuuuuuuuck!

          That is mostly how it works now; words change meaning. Nobody I know says ‘trash can’, it’s ‘garbage can’. But yeah, they originally meant different things

            I’ve begun to love finding out old meanings and origins to words, so this one kinda tickled me. I find it interesting too
