@JasonColavito I honestly don't understand that one. Is it a Sokal? A test-run for further information pollution?

The "paper" is a three-page summary of Graham Hancock's "Message of the Sphinx." It went viral in January for no discernible reason. academia.edu/152149419/The_…
Megalithic Mysteries@Megalithic12000
🚨 A paper from a researcher at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona is going viral across Spain right now. His claim: the Giza pyramids are 12,000 years old, built by a civilisation that predates ancient Egypt 🔹Water erosion on the Sphinx 🔹Later pyramids get worse, not better 🔹No royal mummies ever found inside 🔹Precision impossible with copper tools 🔹Astronomical alignments too advanced The mainstream is pushing back. But this story has been covered by 20 Minutos, La Razón, AS, Mundo Deportivo, El Tiempo, and more in just 3 days. The fact that this keeps resurfacing, in papers, in headlines, in public conversation, tells you something. The current answers aren't satisfying people anymore. When the whole world keeps asking the same question, maybe it's time to stop condemning us for asking it?

ma'am, respectfully, genX did all that with no internet access
we hand wrote those 12-pages using fucking encyclopedias and zima siphoned in a sprite bottle

Millennials are the elite generation because they cranked out 12-page essays the night before they were due. No ChatGPT. No Claude. Just lo-fi beats playing in the background, Black coffee at midnight, footnotes that were somehow correct, and pure delusion. Grade was an A minus. Period.

@DragonShadows4 @zhiheather @Strangeland_Elf It depends what you're after.
For "regular" cakes, yeah. But for a genoese sponge, no.
I rarely use box mixes just because I rarely "regular" cakes, but there's nothing wrong with box mixes.
English
@zhiheather @Strangeland_Elf Yeap. I used to have contacts at dawn foods. Dude told me cake mix would give you a better result.
English
I laughed at the “recipes could fit on recipe cards because they were simple and real” thing I saw going around because often times they could fit on recipe cards became they would tell you to use a can of soup or a boxed cake mix 😂

@Strangeland_Elf Correct. The recipes I got from my grandmothers are not “time-tested traditions” they are 1950s canned goods recipes.

@Strangeland_Elf We have food regulations because of the questionable additives that were in "real food" in the 19th/20th c.

“Our grandparents were eating real food!”
Not sure how old your grandparents are but I’m pretty sure a large portion of our grandparents were cooking everything in crisco and margarine.

I’m in Arizona and I just bought 24 beer for $19 and I was telling her in Canada it costs me $54 and she was shocked and asked why. I told her it’s the tax and that if something moves in Canada they tax it and they would tax the air if they could.

One of the funniest things about Canadians is how sensitive they are. It's very easy to trigger a Canadian. Just tell them facts about America, they will lose their minds.

If you’re looking at the photo on the left and wondering, “Wait, is that how Dunn measured?” The answer is yes, that’s how he measured.
Also he didn’t measure more than one Serapeum box, and it was only a few of the surfaces. Other people have measured more boxes more thoroughly and all were found to be imprecise.
On another note, the years he spent in “precision engineering” were in the HR department.
Megalithic Mysteries@Megalithic12000
🚨 Christopher Dunn spent 40 years in precision manufacturing. Then he measured the Serapeum boxes in Egypt. His results continue to shock engineers around the world. 🔹Squared to 0.00005 inches 🔹That's 1/20th of a human hair 🔹Flat to 0.0001" across 10 foot faces 🔹Repeated across multiple 100 ton boxes His conclusion: this required either tools so advanced they couldn't produce anything less than perfection, or a civilisation far beyond what we accept. We're told these were bull coffins made with copper chisels. Does that sound right to you?

@RightMapMaker @MysteriosoX @aclockworkmonk "Quarry" generally means an open pit for stone, whereas "mine" is underground. A "quarry" for metal ores is a "pit mine"
Such are the vagaries of English, which is the linguistic equivalent of three raccoons in a trenchcoat.
English
@Graculus01 @MysteriosoX @aclockworkmonk Kopalnia kamienia = stone mine = quarry
Kopalnia węgla = coal mine

JD Vance says that Canada has "taken advantage of the United States of America for far too long."
So Canada. The country that sent troops to fight alongside the US after 9/11, 158 of whom died, is taking advantage of the US?
JD needs to retake US History.

@_TheBlueTorch Canada didn’t participate in the war in Iraq after 911. Cretien the pm declined to go. Bush was pissed. No Canadian military personnel were killed that I can find. A few Canadian contractors were killed when working for Haliburton.

which is why anecodtes aren't data

All challenges start with the thought that it should be challenged. Then people come up with a reason why it should be challenged. With the COVID vax, I know they don't work. How do I know? Anecdotal evidence. In my family everyone who got the vac is worse off than me. And I have fucking HIV. How the fuck am I the HEALTHY one. Mom is on a breathing machine. Grandma, dead. Step dad, dead. Wife, constantly sick. Me, barely a sniffle.

@WilliamT4479 @ennui365 it's supposed to be challenged with better science, not vibes

Okay, you had me till Chemtrails. Because those are a thing because we have seen them. And what the fuck is stardust. And if evolution is real and we come from monkeys then why the hell so we still have monkeys. And science is supposed to be challenged. If it wasn't we would never advance.
