Then you tilt the camera up and there are these big fuckoff pyramids just like, right over there.
There’s this pop culture idea that the pyramids are far out in an inhospitable desert, like three days by camel or something, nah they’re just in the suburbs.
Give every Cairene a power washer, we can fix this.
This pic makes me thirsty.
Hell on earth.
Looks like a Fuck Cars utopia, they can have it.
Cairo is one of the worst places for traffic congestion and has severe pollution problems thanks to the sheer amount of cars. Better public transportation and refocusing infrastructure to be less car-dependant would alleviate these problems.
If you’re a fan of light brown rectangles this picture has so much to offer.
So many trees! So much greenery!
Oh, wait …
Still more than New York. (Just)
Doesn’t NY have parks all over what used to be black neighborhoods?
Central Park used to be a black neighborhood
And, as I just found out, it had a growing Irish population thanks to the famine the brits did.
No.
Egypt traded the most valuable agricultural valley in the world, one of them, naturally fertilized since before civilization every year with the Nile Floods, for electricity when they built their stupid damn. Now they can’t well feed themselves.
It’s not just the west that lacks in leadership.
why does it look so brown?
Its a 7th generation FPS.
I’ve been there a few times, it’s covered in sand from the desert. There are sandstorms regularly.
Cause it’s Egypt? Like honestly I’d expect it to look incredibly brown.
It used to be green.
Affluvia? No just because it’s dusty and made of brick and stone I imagine. There is dried sewage in the ground though, affluvia, generations worth, perhaps Millenia of it, and it eats at foundations, and when it rains throws up a mist of sewage in the air, you know that smell when it starts to rain that everyone loves? That gets microscopic sewage mist mixed in, gets people sick. Not just there it’s a lot of places but Cairo is pretty famous for it. Also for it’s lawless roads and reckless driving.
Is that actually a thing? I can find results on Google about their crappy sewage system being overwhelmed, but nothing like what you’re mentioning.
Oh yeah, it’s an ongoing thing. Mexico City is horrible, all the developing world really has that problem. Many of the mega cities in central and south america, India, pakistan, etc. The Indian subcontinent half of the population still doesn’t have sewage, or fresh water piped in, they’ve to buy water off of trucks in the cities in many places. But they’ve got thousands of years of excrement built up, and still adding it, outside of the areas they just flush it down their fast flowing and cold rivers coming from the himalayans like the ganges and brahmaputra, and Indus, and idk which others.
Do you have a link I can read? I’m referring specifically to the part about centuries of built up excrement.
I’m not getting anything on the enshitified search engines. I read a book about five big cities that talked about it, and other issues like sprawl and air pollution, some twenty plus years ago, then about 20 years back there were a couple of articles in the NYTimes, this was before they sucked entirely as now, back when they actually put out a small book of material everyday, before they were downgraded, and surrendered to the republicans.
The Times articles, at least one specifically talked about Cairo.
I don’t know how to find information now, the search engines used to work, and now don’t. I typed in the information, and the results were not even trying to give me what I asked for. I know it can work because it did work. Using startpage, but duckgo, and the other corposearches are the same if not worse, since 2021 they’ve gotten worse.
Anyway if I find something I will post it back on here.
Honestly if it was something you read 20 years ago and there’s nothing about it to be found today, there’s a chance it was nothing but racist nonsense. (Not saying you’re racist or anything, just that the source might have been and you got taken in).
It’s actually common knowledge. Google is not the arbiter of knowledge, you better fucking hope so.
To assume it’s racist is ignorant. As such I will not waste further time on your request.
Where are the pyramids?
If I recognize this bridge correctly, I believe above the top of the photo on the right.
