Felt like disney shutting down everything but hall of presidents.

You'd think if superior alien intelligences came along to build pre-planned pyramids they wouldn't also create several failed attempts at pyramids that remain to the current day, or the various transitional not quite a pyramid monuments that were a part of figuring out the design. Any alien assistance was either by very incompetent aliens who had to try with the step bent pyramids first before they could get it right, or the aliens were just swooping in at the end and correcting the math of structural support for the humans who made the earlier transitional pyramids on their own. Which would be mighty nice of the aliens, but "taught them the very last math bits" seems a much lesser claim than "built the pyramids".

We got a Cabelas a few years ago and every guy I know that owns a camo baseball cap was sure to keep me updated on when it was opening. I think it's a Bass Shop now though

Also the Met has a whole-rear end Roman-era Egyptian temple which to be fair was given to them by the government of Egypt but still seems weird.

Penguin Patrol posted:I got banned from tinder and they won't tell me why. Boooo. Had a date planned with someone Thursday night but we hadn't exchanged numbers. I only know their general neighborhood and that they have to leave for work at 6am, so I spent a couple hours tonight walking around putting up some missed connection signs at possible subway stations. I'm not confident they'll stay up long enough. It's ok though. The walk was nice and it felt like one one of those classic NYC adventures you hear about. I evaded some cops at one point, it was cool. I wonder if the missing connection signs looked like this one posted by what I can only assume was a rogue Canada Post employee I saw 6 years ago. Maybe I was right about tinder not working out for this guy in the caption...

Someone mentioned Randaconda in passing in SAD. Went back through their rap sheet, and...lol. Multiple entries for "don't make rape jokes," "stop making it look like cartoon kids are loving," etc. Said poster mentioned they were in prison. How did they get outed as an actual pedophile? edit: by "actual," I mean legally or whatever. Obviously that person was a loving creep.

I might be misremembering the details but I thought it was something along the lines of some goon was facebook friends and when they noticed Randaconda hadn't posted in a while they googled his real name and found news articles about his arrest and imprisonment.

there was a video of a guy erecting a stonehenge monument by himself using only pullies, fulcrums, ropes, and other tools available far before stonehenge's construction. on one of the uploads people were arguing that these technologies were obviously given to early man by aliens, because no one could think of a see-saw themselves lmao

My favourite dumb conspiracy theory is that there's under a billion people on the planet. Like governments pretend to spend money on 8 billion people but actually pocket most of it. Evidence? Go outside, there aren't that many people out there.
