What in the chicken fried fuck is this? "I never learned all this so here's my belief. The experts just don't understand!"

At least he knows no one will respect his "theory".

[-] slurpinderpin@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago

This is the world social media created. If people think something is true, then it is. We’ve destroyed the meaning of real Truth. Everyone’s just free to make up and believe whatever they want

[-] rubicon@lemmy.ca 14 points 4 months ago

I think you just described religion

[-] slurpinderpin@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

lol yeah dogma and superstition pretty much. But nowadays all these less than intelligent folks read something online and make it their religion

[-] GiveMemes@jlai.lu 10 points 4 months ago

Funnily enough though there's actually a huge amount of this actually happening in egyptology right now. There's a one researcher who is absolutely despised by some Egyptian government officials and whose findings may have shown a prior decision by the office for the preservation and protection of the pyramids to be bad (they filled an area thinking it was erosion, but it may have been a groove for pulling rope through as part of the theorized pully system for getting the absolutely massive granite stones to the kings chamber). If you're interested look up the 'great void' controversy and that should set you on the right path.

I mean this guy is a fucking looney but it does actually happen to legit researchers sometimes. (Especially amateurs and lower level positions like lab techs)

Sure. Everyone makes mistakes in every field. I'm talking about the arm chair crackpots like these guys. You bring up a good point and I concede it.

[-] GiveMemes@jlai.lu 5 points 4 months ago

Yeah I gotcha sorry if I came off argumentative

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Not at all, friend.

[-] waterSticksToMyBalls@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

History for Granite on YouTube is pretty great too if you haven't seen his work.

[-] GiveMemes@jlai.lu 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

He's exactly the amateur I had in mind when I was writing this comment lol. There's some other greats on YouTube for archeology anthropology and history content esp.

[-] waterSticksToMyBalls@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Hopefully he chimes in on pyramid cannon theory.

[-] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 20 points 4 months ago

Ok c'mon guys. They start with

I have a theory based on evidence

and then ending with

Evidence be damned!

That can't be a coincidence, this has to be a troll post

[-] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 25 points 4 months ago

They're a total nut job, but what they are saying with the last line is "nobody believe it, evidence be damned." As in, regardless of all the evidence, nobody believes it except them.

It's crazy, but consistent.

[-] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago

Ah thank you, that makes sense. I misread/misinterpreted that.

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Not a troll. Just a voter trying to get both sides.

[-] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 18 points 4 months ago

This sounds like a quest in OSRS.

[-] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 months ago

Ancient Egyptian version of the FO3 ghoul cult that had you fix up their rocket and send them to 'The Far Beyond'.

AKA approximately a mile or two down range.

Time to meet Ra!

[-] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

That was in New Vegas, actually.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

Actually they do make it to the Far Beyond if you do the quest correctly.... The rocket only crashes a mile away if you fuck it up.

Btw, New Vegas, not 3

[-] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago

Ah, yeah it is NV, been a while since I've played either.

Now, ok, yes they do get into SPACE if you do the mission correctly (don't you basically have to reprogram their entire flight trajectory as they have no clue what theyre doing?)... But...

... So they are ghouls. They... seem to eat and drink, and they need air.

I guess they get into space, and best case scenario smash into a nearby planet if they don't starve or asphyxiate first?

Basically perfectly fits that New Vegas wacky yet violent and horrible vibe.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

Ghouls do not need air, they can eat and drink, but it's not required. Radiation however will rejuvenate them, with Glowing Ones basically having "Infinite Power"

And if memory serves they have the coordinates right, they just need some supplies from you and to help calm down their friend Christopher who has been aiding them under the faulty premise that he's a ghoul (He isn't, he's just a normal guy with low self-esteem and some trauma), but since he's not a ghoul he can't come.

The place they're going is a highly radioactive moon that they plan on colonizing, it's real, and that's actually why they're not bringing Christopher, as the radiation while nourishing to ghouls, would fry any human.

You can as a bad Karma option, convince Christopher to sabotage the mission, you can sabotage it yourself, you can make some improvements to their plan that makes it work better (which if you have low intelligence, will just lead to them crashing)

[-] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago

Huh. Well, thanks for the refresh!

My lore knowledge is evidently quite rusty.

Oh no, I'll have to play the game again haha!

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

I recommend "Begin Again: Tale of Two Wastelands"

[-] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago

I have heard of that but never managed to play it. I'll try it out!

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

It's a mod that combines Fallout 3 with Fallout New Vegas, giving you all the content of both with various bug fixes, quality of life changes, and restored cut content.

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 17 points 4 months ago

Give the wacko some credit, I haven't seen a new and novel pyramid conspiracy in 30 years

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

Crazy yes, but fun. I'd party with this person.

[-] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Never talks about the propulsion mechanism. Given what we know about how they were built, it's obvious they used the Peasant Railgun.
...is what I would say, if it wasn't inherently obvious that their real purpose was actually to be landing pads for alien spaceships

[-] Aganim@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

This is going to sound crazy, but hear me out.. What if the ships also brought a device which allows for instantaneous travel between planets? Some kind of gate? A gate to the stars, if you will? Perhaps we should start a dig in Giza, who knows what we'll uncover!

[-] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 months ago

As we all know, alien space ships are shaped like cubes with a quadrilateral pyramid removed from the center, so they resemble sort of avant garde/brutalist tables.

Then one lands on or docks with a Giza pyramid and that little timmy, that is how a TIME CUBE is born.

[-] burgersc12@mander.xyz 5 points 4 months ago

Makes more sense than tomb... but come on its clearly a device that was thought into existence and helps to balance your inner spirit/body/mind.

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

👏...👏...👏...

Genius.

[-] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

I'm pretty sure this is satire.

[-] TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee 8 points 4 months ago

It’s gotta be. I need it to be. The line between satire and reality has become so dangerously thing I am losing my sanity.

[-] Gustephan@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

I'd read/watch the shit out of a DaVinci code style story about how pyramids existed to bring the pharaohs closer to Ra

[-] Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

This actually fits pretty well with the infantapulting hypothesis and I choose to believe they are evidence of each other.
