I live 5 minutes from this. AMA I guess?

The Memphis pyramid was a sports arena and concert venue in the past, eventually the city built another venue that wasn't shaped stupid so it sat abandoned for a decade or so before bass pro bought it.

Are the ducks really unlimited, or is that just economically until the limits of physical reality kick in?

[–] skulkingaround@sh.itjust.works 85 points 4 months ago (4 children)

They have a duck accelerator inside that fuses antiducks and posiducks together as a source of unlimited power.

Is there any other way?

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

That's pretty ducked up

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

I'm just glad it's not goose-based. That would surely open a portal to hell.

Psyduuuuuuuuuuckkkkkkkk! 🤯

I know you are just being silly, but to answer your question, the point of those groups (ducks unlimited, pheasants forever, whitetail whenever, turkeys tomorrow, raccoons all noons, etc) is to put money into conservation of those animals so that their populations stay great enough that they can be hunted.

So yes, the goal is for the ducks to be unlimited.

Is this a reference from something I don't understand?

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 28 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (4 children)

I saw Alanis Morissette there in 95'ish and the acoustics were terrible. Still a great concert though.

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's a real artist to be at the peak of popularity and play at a Bass Pro shop.

[–] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 18 points 4 months ago (2 children)

It was not a Bass Pro Shop then. It was The Pyramid, concert venue / arena.

I saw Jimmy Page and Robert Plant play there in the late 90's. It was totally awesome, they played almost 3 hours of Led Zeppelin and Page/Plant songs. John Bonham's son Jason was on drums.

[–] PapaStevesy@midwest.social 8 points 4 months ago

I think they were joking

What about an Alanis Morrissette facts community called You Oughta Know?

Posts:

  • [YOK] Alanis is Canadamerican (Canadian & American)
  • [YOK] You Oughta Know featured RHCP members Dave Navarro and Flea
  • [YOK] The song Ironic is not ironic. Isn't that ironic?
[–] skulkingaround@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 months ago

Yeah it was a terrible concert venue and sports arena other than being a novelty shape.

Pretty much everyone in town loves the bass pro shop and we're much happier to see it in use than abandoned like it was for so many years.

[–] dingdongmetacarples@lemmy.world 21 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Is it bigger than the Luxor in Las Vegas?

[–] skulkingaround@sh.itjust.works 25 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The Luxor is ever so slightly bigger I believe.

[–] Spiralvortexisalie@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Luxor looks about to be 10% taller (98m vs 107m) Source

[–] SeekPie@lemm.ee 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Has anyone tried to climb on top of it?

[–] skulkingaround@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 months ago

Surprisingly no, not that I'm aware of. If they have, it hasn't made the news.

It's quite steep and smooth in person, it would be very hard to climb. Probably impossible without ropes or mission impossible suction cups.
