there’s only a very small fraction of communes that actually work and they need very specific people. There’s one I can think of that sells beaded hammocks or something that has actually been successful long term. But who knows that might just be because of a few central figures holding everything together.
it’s more reasonable to reconstruct an old timey village vibe or a family/clan focused community.
personally a commune sounds like my own personal hell. I like privacy and people minding their own business. I wouldn’t mind being surrounded by my close friends though. even then I would probably kill them after half a year if I had to see them every day.
the number of extant fish species with human-like teeth is larger than the number of extant human species with human-like teeth, so perhaps we have pacu-like teeth instead
