The idea that aliens built the pyramids is racist.

No one ever asks who built the pyramids in mexico for similarly racist reasons.

I blame Quetzalcōātl, obviously.

Damn fluffy snake making pyramids and killing all the animals that used to eat avocado

It's true, though often unintended, people get excited. It sucks because the past is filled with such vibrant and cool things people have done. Cheapens it... People are neat.

How that damned television show is still on the air is beyond me. Every single point they make is easily debunked and all it's doing is injecting lies and garbage information into people, making them conspiracy theorists and deniers of other truths. It's a joke.

It's cheaper to do bullshit than the right thing.

LISTER: What makes you think these aliens exist?

RIMMER: They must do, Lister! There’s so many things that are strange and odd. So many things we don’t have any explanation for.

LISTER: Like, um, why do intelligent people buy cinema hot dogs? Do you mean that sort of weird and mysterious thing?

RIMMER: No, Lister, I mean like the pyramids. How did they move such massive pieces of stone without the aid of modern technology?

LISTER: They had massive whips, Rimmer. Massive, massive whips.

According to more updated studies, more like massive paychecks

Always mocking Dr. Daniel Jackson. Poor guy

[–] TurboHarbinger@feddit.cl 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

He's teaching Spanish right now.

[–] BlueSquid0741@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 4 months ago

He’s sketching a cube right now

How come they switched sides for a panel then switched back? Was it also because of aliens?

[–] psud@aussie.zone 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They had multiple virtual cameras and could change angles between panels

Well i meant Babuthep starts standing left of the other guy, then he’s on the right, then back to the left. Maybe they were doing some dancing :)

Clearly he was walking around getting better perspective on the work

Can't escape from White Pharaoh even in the webcomics
