silly doggy.
Theft is when you abscond with someone else's property.

Dogs operate on different laws. If I want it, it's mine. If it's in my mouth - it's ABSOLUTELY MINE. If I'm guarding it, it's mine.

Remains of 9,000-Year-Old Beer Found in China | Smart News | Smithsonian Magazine

Archaeologists in southeastern China have discovered the residue of beer drunk 9,000 years ago. The vessels containing the ancient dregs were located near two human skeletons, suggesting that mourners may have consumed the brew in honor of the dead, reports Gizmodo’s Isaac Schultz.

The researchers found the Neolithic artifacts at the Qiaotou archaeological site, a circular settlement with a mound in the center located in Yiwu City, Zhejiang Province. They recently published their findings in the journal PLOS One.

Several long-necked hu pots discovered in pits at the site contained starches, fossilized plant residue and the remains of mold and yeast, indicating that they once held a fermented alcoholic beverage. Hu pots were used for drinking alcoholic beverages in later periods.

“Our results revealed that the pottery vessels were used to hold beer, in its most general sense—a fermented beverage made of rice, a grain called Job’s tears and unidentified tubers,” the study’s lead author, Jiajing Wang, an archaeologist at Dartmouth College, says in a statement. “This ancient beer though would not have been like the IPA that we have today. Instead, it was likely a slightly fermented and sweet beverage, which was probably cloudy in color.”

ScienceAlert’s David Nield writes that archaeologists try to determine the value ancient people placed on particular foods partly by considering how difficult it would have been to collect or produce them. Given the ingredients and the brewing process involved in making the beer, the researchers suggest it may have been part of a burial ceremony.

Qiaotou is one of about 20 archaeological sites in Zhejiang that were part of the Shangshan culture, which researchers believe was the first group to begin cultivating rice, around 10,000 years ago. Per Xinhua, researchers discovered the Shangshan sites, which date back as long as 11,400 years, between 2000 and 2020.

The Qiaotou beer-making operation wasn’t the world’s first. Earlier examples in the Mediterranean region, including a brew that the ancient Natufians made from wheat, oats, barley and other ingredients in what’s now Israel, date to 13,000 years ago.

Some researchers argue that the production of alcoholic beverages may have helped build social relationships and encourage greater cooperation in ancient times. The authors of the new study say this could have been a factor in the gradual development of complex rice-farming societies over the following 4,000 years in Zhejiang.

For thousands of years, humans have been drinking beer, and arguing and fighting with each other over whether it tastes great or it's less filling.

I can work with that.
It reasonable limits what property is subject to that law.

#include <stdio.h>

int main()

printf("Hello World");
return 0;

Bear work with a similar law....... but much less complicated......basically it is..."it's mine" no other qualifiers necessary

Theft is when you abscond with someone else's property.

But do you know where your towel is?
That's a more important issue than this property and theft thing.

winning after a nice 20 minute nap in my basement that Mrs Wu did knew nothing about

 

[Shadow Wolf]

I nearly won making an iced tea that tastes close to a lemon drop. But it's not quite there yet so I it's not quite a win yet.

 

[Wu Wei]

therefore it is a loss...... and this..... is a win

 

[sun rise]

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
printf("Hello World");
return 0;
}

while true
do
echo "I win"
done

I do.
I have several important towels, & know where each is.
(There are 2 in Mr Van.)

Why are you returning from main()?

#define the_cows_come_home = 1;
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
do {
echo( "I win\r\n" );
} while ( the_cows_come_home );
}
