The printing press is the most important.

The most complex invention? I have no idea. I was thinking maybe an all-in-one washer/dryer, a jumbo jet, and then started thinking about how maybe it might even be something that isn't even physical, like a mathematical algorithm.

Well, no. They aren't. The symbols and spoken words we use to identify amounts are inventions, but numbers are not an invention in and of themselves.
Time is not an invention, even though the concept of time didn't exist until humans made it up. Still doesn't mean we invented time. Only the method we use with which to measure it.

And I know we say "cavemen invented fire" but that's not really true. That's implying that fire didn't exist until mankind found a way to create it.

Why would you have to make the animals fuck? Animals will fuck on their own. They're just as horny as humans. Heck, some animals are hornier than humans, like rabbits for example. There's even an expression about fucking like rabbits because they're so horny.

Also, the "invention of farming" is really more about when humans starting growing crops like wheat and corn more so than raising animal livestock.

He's probably referring to when Ben Franklin flew his kite in the storm. Franklin discovered electricity, but he didn't invent electricity.

Similarly, Issac Newton discovered, but didn't invent, gravity when the apple fell on his head.

He discovered that lightning is electric, which is about on par with discovering that fire is hot.

I guess you've never paid attention to it. They do make them. On one hand to speed it up. And on the other selective breeding to get the best results.

Original farmers probably didn't think of that but the joke wouldn't be as funny.

Also farmers did both crops and animals back in the day. Now days they seem more specialized.

Hey that is very insightful. Do you think I am wrong to believe that if something is not an invention, then it must be something that is discovered?

The internet gave free porn to the masses, and the smaller electronics that led to smartphones let us take our porn anywhere discreetly.
