Welcome to r/science! This is a heavily moderated subreddit in order to keep the discussion on science. However, we recognize that many people want to discuss how they feel the research relates to their own personal lives, so to give people a space to do that, personal anecdotes are allowed as responses to this comment. Any anecdotal comments elsewhere in the discussion will be removed and our normal comment rules apply to all other comments.

Imagining people harvesting rice, but instead of now it's 10000 years ago, makes the thought much less mundane.

No yeah that's exactly what happened. You're so smart look at you. Is your dad proud of you yet for making irrelevant corrections to innocuous comments on internet forums? I bet he is so proud now. You've finally done it.

Last word's yours smart guy, I'm off to read. You have a good night.
