The pyramid was built in Memphis, TN as an homage to Memphis, Egypt. It served as a 20,000 seat sports arena for about a decade and a half, and it went under when the Memphis Grizzlies demanded the city build them a newer and snazzier stadium.

    My feed is so full of garbage I know not how my sheep shall survive this winter. Trash like "Little Nubian child asks for alms, then THIS happened" and "Gilgamesh STUNNED Uruk when he said THIS"

    How so is it overblown? It's the only tool the the belt for early humans against much faster or much larger prey. As for inefficient use of calories, it seemed to persist as an effective method for over two million years, so evolutionary pressure decided that it was effective enough.

    Humans (as others have said) evolved stamina for persistence hunting. Our prey were faster, but humans would run them down for days until the prey were too exhausted to go any further. This is literally the opposite of this meme.

    It's true though, children cannot defeat cyborgs.

    As long as you realize, if this copper proves to be even slightly disappointing in any way at all, you'll never live down the shame of having brought it into our home. The weight of your family's shame on your soul will be greater than any stone on Earth.
