    Interestingly, I think the current consensus is that the workers who built the pyramids were not slaves, but rather ‘volunteers’ or ‘citizens’ who worked during the farming off-season. The ancient Egyptians didn’t use coins at this point, but the workers seem to have been housed in a kind of workers settlement near the site and paid in beer, bread, and grain.

    Capitalism can suck my famous balls however







  • It’s really easy to forget that back in the day (by which I mean what, 2010? Idk) chrome was super speedy and very cool with cool fast looking angular tabs and Google was a nice new cool internet company who’s moto was don’t be evil and the alternative was fucking internet explorer which was a cinder block in a blue shirt or Firefox which had a cool logo but was rather slow and the joke was that internet explorer’s whole purpose was to download chrome and I guess what I’m saying is that Google has lived long enough to see itself become the villain, or at least Comcast which is pretty much the same thing and tbh the only other time I can think of that something like this has actually happened is in 1998, when The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table




  • It might decide to construct a secret droid army and plot in the shadows to overthrow the galactic republic, all while secretly acting as a tool manipulated by the dark lord of the sith. Also tricky trying to explain to people that to join something called ‘lemmy’ they need to go to geddit.social or kbin.social or whatever but that it’s all basically the same except it’s not. Personally I think the Sith Lord thing is a bigger issue.
