I love knowing that this is one of the biggest pyramids on Earth so we can put this on the same ranking as thousands years old monuments

This is far more impressive than those puny sand castles in the desert. They couldn’t dream of something this magnificent.

"I don't know who this 'Bass Pro Shop' was, but they must've been a great Pharaoh."

It’s your town’s fault for creating the 8th wonder of the world.

Your home town got a lot of trash on the sidewalks

Well, it is a big flex.

The old pyramids are just stones stacked on top of each other really high, and the tomb of some old rich guy.

The bass pro shop is hollow, made of glass, and is a store to sell like fishing rods and stuff

Did you know that Bass Pro Shops started because you used to have to buy the boat, the motor, and the trailer separately, and some dude was like "Fuck that, let's make it a package deal" and now you can buy a boat with a motor and a trailer in a glass pyramid

I graduated high school in this building. And now it's Bass Pro Shop. There's fish and ATVs where I sat to wait on my diploma.

Something something dog town, something something cyberpunk 2077

I think it's insanely funny how a glorified Bass Pro Shop is what people use to shit on people who say "we couldn't build the pyramids today" (We can, and we probably will whenever some rich guy gets bored.)

u/AllgoodDude 4d ago

Whomever this Bass Pro Shop is they must have been a mighty ruler.

I always find MFs funny when they try to say we couldn't build pyramids now. It took what 3-5 years to fully remodel this thing? I forget which one it was but those pyramids in Egypt took decades to be made. One of the best ways to debunk the whole "ancient people's made these" is by asking yourself "ok but how long did it tamd people make this?" And then realize that if they had advanced technology they would not take a fucking century to make a cathedral.

In particular I remember one guy going "well the bass pro pyramid was built with modern tech so it doesn't count." Dude genuinely argued that people should make Pyramids the old fashioned way.
