The most outrageous Statue of Liberty theory.
J
How about that meteor crater in Arizona? Don’t you think it is too much of a coincidence that the meteor landed right next to the meteor crater visitors’ center?
D
I want to see a full comedy sketch where this guy has dragged his family out in the middle of nowhere to build a crater-themed business not next to a crater, and they are complaining about how they have no money and this is an insane boondoggle, and he’s doubling down, and then as the argument intensifies you see a meteor outside.
B
This is not far off from a recurring gag in Phineas and Ferb https://youtu.be/0z0tMff2YCA?si=LuMB6-CVF4c3Y2-o
S
Maybe they’re waiting for the right moment. Hard to top that. “I can’t believe you organized a high-stakes poker game on a doomed world where the last one to leave is the winner and it’s not even doomed!” The star behind them collapses into a black hole and begins pulling chunks off the planet…
T
Well kinda. The French actually carved that crater and shipped it here. For what? Who knows.
C
I know. It’s weird. Like, why would they even do that?
S
The tallest building in the world was constructed while these women were alive. The largest boat ever was built in their lifetime. A space station the size of a football field is above them as they speak. We have robots on the surface of Mars and landed probes on comets. They have rectangles in their pockets that can answer their incredulity. But somehow sculpting out of marble or copper is somehow a lost art?
H
alone that marble vs copper issue 🤣🤣 “carving copper”🤦🏻
B
The carving copper part had me dying. These two probably think houses are carved out of drywall too.
F
Fuck that, ima carve my whole house out of wood.
B
Like, did you ever see a tree big enough to carve a house? Mom and dad lied, aliens built our fucking childhood home!!!
G
Who even built all these houses? Like, they never talk about that.
T
You should look up sequoias, dude. It’ll blow your mind.
B
Really, I’ve never heard of those? Is it some sort of really big dwelling?
Z
I just did, there is no way there are enough of those trees in the world to build all of the houses. Check mate!
B
I whittled it out of a much larger house.
B
Literally impossible in this day and age, no way we have the technology capable of that
D
Found the Keebler elf. Give us your cookies!
H
The best sculptors say that the statue is already there inside the copper, and all they do is carve away the rest. /s
Y
“The more the marbles waste, the more the statue grows”
D
Fuck all that. WE KNOW WHO SCULPTED OR CONSTRUCTED THOSE THINGS AND EXACTLY HOW. We know where the marble came from. (In the Washington Monument’s case, 3 kinds of Marble: one from Massachusetts, 2 from Maryland.) We know who built them. (the statue in the Lincoln Memorial was designed by Daniel Chester French and carved by the 6 Piccirilli brothers out of white marble from Georgia and sits on a platform of Tennessee marble, with ceiling tiles made from Alabama marble.) We know how. (The Statue of Liberty was revolutionary in its construction design by Eiffel and Joachim Giaever, being one of the first curtain wall built structures, which have an internal skeleton and exterior facade, instead of load bearing exterior walls. It’s made of copper largely donated by Eugene Secretan and was shipped because the construction design made it easier to use French smiths in their own shops, rather than attempting to build the support infrastructure for an enormous temporary copper smithery on the island.)
R
But, like, that’s what they want you to believe….. /s
D
Daniel Chester French? D.C. FRENCH? And we’re supposed to believe that the most patriotic symbols we have just HAPPEN to be in D.C. and from France? Suuuuure… /s
T
But like…. what if America has a much longer history than we know? *proceeds to not know anything about American history*
M
Or about native Americans.
D
Thank you for mentioning the Maryland marble. We live very close to where that quarry is. Every time we bring out of town visitors to DC we explain to them why the monument has two different color stones. It changes about a fifth of the way up when the government became too cheap to buy the awesome Maryland marble. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to share that. But what the fuck is up with these grade school rejects? It’s satire, right? Tell me it’s satire. Oh God I’ll feel so much better about living in this world if this is satire.
S
pretty sure these girls are part of a podcast, from a cult. Can’t remember the cult exactly, saw a documentary on them, their leader “mom” was super sick (cancer, i think?) and instead of real treatment they just gave her colloidal silver until she died, upon which they travelled halfway across the country with her dead body in the car with them.
W
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Has_Won:_The_Cult_of_Mother_God I watched twice just for the ridiculousness.
D
Man, I remember hearing about the two different types of marble on my safety patrol trip to DC in 1975.
R
Do you have proof that aliens didn’t help?
D
Does it count if I’ve personally visited two of the marble quarries for the Lincoln statue with demonstrations of technique contemporaneous with their extraction? The statue was incredibly well documented as having been shipped by rail in 28 pieces. The general contractor was from Ohio though…which I guess is *like* an alien?
R
Next week on Ancient Aliens- “Professor Dyanmar confirms an alien-like being was at the creation of the Lincoln statue.”
K
Have you ever *been* to Ohio? Maybe these girls are on to something after all…
S
Aliens were almost certainly involved, just that back then “aliens” meant foreigners.
B
wow informative, thanks!
A
We’re officially living the misinformation age

If you’ve had any interaction with long-term, late stage drug addicts — so, if you’ve been outdoors in any city in the world any time in the past 300 years or so — it’s pretty easy to recognize that these women are both high while making this video and also have spent probably years being high every day. I’m the first to say that the dangers of drug use are often overstated, but if you spend essentially every waking hour using or looking for drugs, it doesn’t leave a lot of time for rational thought.

I remember feeling like the only person around me seeing the obvious way back during the original “people testifying 2020 was rigged against Trump!” thing. There was a woman in my state going on about the most outlandish, extreme stories under oath and people just thought she was nuts and obviously other people like “yeah! It was stolen!” of course. She wasn’t sloppy in the way being drunk would make you but to me it was obvious. This was a woman on *high* dose benzos every day for who knows how long. The classic, quintessential bartard. It was beyond obvious. Seen it a million times. At the same time I knew a super qanon dude. Along with his intense qanon conspiracy theories (which heavily involved “looking at things once and assuming they were just true”, like missing obvious satire and conservatives role playing leftists for one comment) along with tonssss of grand ideas for his weed business that just could never get off the ground. The whole time I was like “sounds a lot like a tweaker to me.” Bam, some time later wife takes the kids, “he was smoking meth every day.” There’s a lot of it out there, like you said, any city any day. I grew up surrounded by this in a pretty rough city, so I got an eye for it.
S
Some of this was drugs, but most of this was cult. They were part of the Love Has Won group whose leader died and they mummified. The purple cult leader? That’s them.
H
Dude has you every worked with copper? I made something out of copper when I was a kid and now it’s green!
G
The aliens are turning our copper green and our frogs gay.
I
Pretty sure they think space is fake.
T
Somebody salt that snail
B
There’s not enough salt in the world to salt her!!!
O
No one enjoys salting the snail
C
Sometimes it must be done
F
What about if we showed up at the Statue of Liberty super high and everyone is like “whaaaaaaaat?”.
C
You’re just mashing it

Well, what do you expect? She’s sexually active now
T
She’s 33, she’s supposed to be sexually active now!
