This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The Caterpillar 797 is a series of off-highway, ultra class, two-axle, mechanical powertrain haul trucks developed and manufactured in the United States by Caterpillar Inc

The current, third-generation model, the 797F, offers one of the largest haul truck payload capacities in the world, up to 400 short tons (363 t) and has the highest payload capacity among mechanical drive haul trucks.[3]

You understand we can and have cut highways through mountains?

Building a Pyramid would be a tiny project compared to building a railway system. Completely trivial.

As if I've claimed otherwise.

were 70 tons, which we currently don't have the technology to move the 100s of miles

Odd your comment seems to clearly show you claiming that we can’t move 70 ton blocks of sandstone despite having equipment that can carry over 5 times that weight.

Care to elaborate?

That is the original claim Joe, not me, made in the podcast episode with Coleman Hughes. I even end my message saying that I don't think that is correct either.
