This proverb comes from ancient ages when humans were hunting with rocks. We can easily imagine a man who killed two birds with one stone being thrilled about his shot, a.k.a: “Faire d’une pierre deux coups“.
Nowadays, humans have stopped hunting with rocks, but still, we can accomplish two goals simultaneously. For example, by taking advantage of synergies between two targets, we can achieve both of them at the same time.
