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.

Yeah I'm so tired of hearing that "We can't build the pyramids even with the technology of today" because that's just a bullshit statement with nothing supporting it. It is just to try to dismiss actual reality in order to prop up "It was aliens obviously" that has zero evidence.

Imho the only answer that needs is “prove it”.

What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed with the same. So, prove it.

You're saying we don't have the engineering know-how or the technology to build the pyramids today? You're saying we can't cut blocks and put them in place and cover them in a limestone casing? That we have no way to lift ~2.5 tons? Or even better just use concrete?

Are you unhinged?

What? No that’s the opposite of what I said.

Oh that's my fault. I'm so used to seeing defenders of this kind of stuff that I took it as you saying i also have no proof as to my position that I need to prove it. Definitely my own bias of expecting an argument.

I apologize.
