I grew up in this area a long time ago - not quite 40,000 years. This is my local Norman castle!

The obvious history you could see were the castles and walled towns. More recently, lots of ship building in the last 200 or so years, and plenty of WWII sites.

There are many other parts of Pembrokeshire with Stone Age sites that are well known, and there were clearly many people living in this area for a long time before even those later inhabitants

Very cool!

But did you also take a shit in the cave? Could have been your ticket to immortality:

“According to DNA analysis, the site seemed to be inhabited until the late 20th century at least. Their excrement seemed to be rich in nutrients, pointing towards a steady diet of fish and chips.”

You are being down-voted, but the point is valid. Presence of excrement does not mean inhabitation. I think most of us shat somewhere they were not supposed to somewhen in their life.

in the supermarket aisle?

back of someone's pickup truck. and when i mean someone i mean random truck parked in a way to make it viable

I’ll never be able to get the image out of my mind from when I was about 12 or so, in the toy isle with a friend who rode his bike to the store with me… I had a toy limousine in my hand and I caught sight of a puddle on the ground which lead to my friend who was still peeing directly into his black spandex shorts. It’s bizarre how clear those details are after literally decades.
