  • Eh, the terracotta emporer from China almost definitely has booby traps that are likely still functional after 2,000.

    We don’t know, because the absolutely insane amount of open mercury in the tomb would have filled it with toxic gases, although it’s likely that wasn’t the intent.

    But yeah, most “ancient” tombs were pillaged centuries ago. What little happens now is entirely black market and people probably die all the time.

    I know Kim Kardashian took a booty selfie with a sarcophagus at the MET Gala a couple years ago, and one of the illegal tomb raiders recognized it. And because he never got his cut, he snitched to local authorities. So it still happens, we just don’t hear about the vast amount. Just the very careful government sanctioned ones.


  • Clémence Guetté, Vice President of France’s National Assembly, submitted a parliamentary resolution calling for France to withdraw from NATO’s integrated command structure, citing President Trump’s threats to seize Greenland from NATO ally Denmark as evidence the US-led alliance threatens world peace.

    So one politician from France submitted a resolution in the French government to do it.

    And you…

    You honestly and legitimately think that is the same thing as:

    I saw France had proposed an initiative to withdraw because of the US’ shenanigans

    Like, you didn’t just go and try to find a source but didn’t read it. You just don’t understand how what that says and what you said are vastly different things?










  • There’s so many great things about the movie, but it’s also one of the most understood.

    It’s just insanely ironic that so many people misunderstand it. They 110% think they do, and explaining it to them usually doesn’t help and you get the same reaction as in the movie.

    That being said, I had a 60+ year old woman yell “your car is small fag!” At me like a week ago in traffic. It was actively snowing and she had her window all the way down to smoke a cig, I honestly don’t know what I did to upset her.

    But I just immediately pictured the dildo car from Idiocracy and couldn’t stop laughing for way too long. She just said it so hateful, but it was such a stupid insult. She had the charlie kirk “freedom” on her back window, so I think she may have just been driving around looking for anything to tell about.





  • But that doesn’t leave many options for the victims. Maddie, who said she’s a 23-year-old pre-med student, woke up on New Year’s Day to an image that horrified her. On X, she had previously published a picture of herself with her boyfriend at a local bar, which two strangers altered using Grok.

    I’ve thought a lot of things would kill twitter…

    But if every time a woman posts a picture of herself, and neckbeards reply asking twitter AI to sexualize her, and the AI responds right there with it where everyone following the original account can see…

    I truly don’t understand how or why any women are still using it.
