Star fortresses only became common after the invention of cannon artillery. That's exceedingly modern for this type of nonsense.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 47 points 2 years ago

These types are obsessed with star fortresses for reasons I can't begin to comprehend, but they all think they're ancient.

[-] RustyNova@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago
[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

Oh yeah, they're very cool. But the real story of them is interesting enough, so making up a new story is stupid.

[-] Granite@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

They feel ancient for those born yesterday…

[-] grue@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

for reasons I can’t begin to comprehend

Maybe 'cause they're star-shaped?

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 56 points 2 years ago

i love 'melon glands'... feels like great slang for 'breasts'

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

I'm feeling really melon collie about this.

Not since 1979

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

I wonder how many people will get the reference-

[-] Tippon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 2 years ago

I can't tell if that's Jeff Goldblum or Rick Moranis, and it's pickling my brain 🤯

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Eddie Deezen actually.

Probably most famous for his minor role in Wargames.

[-] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Although nowadays he's getting better known for being a creep in real life.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I think something snapped in him. He's had multiple charges against him for multiple incidents and he sounds like he's seriously mentally ill. The fact that he's a Scientologist doesn't help.

Yeah, I loved Eddie Deezen back then, but he probably belongs in some sort of long-term psychiatric care.

Looks like Liev Schreiber's weird nerdy uncle, to my untrained eyes.

bofa Deez^en^ guesses are good but not quite right.

[-] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

He's this little shit

[-] Jackhammer_Joe@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I don't care about the guy. Who's the chick with the big knockers?

That's the only reason anyone's in the comment section.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Speak for yourself. I was here for the "Acktyually star forts are pretty modern" comment, which I would've posted if that guy hadn't.

[-] nature_man@lemmy.world 39 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Star forts existing despite their expensive construction because they are superior to other fort designs in the age of gunpowder due to their overlapping zones of fire and safe zones for defenders? No! Clearly its because we have aquatic ancestors with melon glands and long skulls that bread us into slaves by removing said melon glands! And we hid their skulls there! In some of the most interesting and eye catching structures to see! You know, to not draw attention to them!

spoiler/s just in case it wasn't obvious

I legitimately do not get the logic here.

[-] RedditRefugee69@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I think they’re what powers flux capacitors

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

The only thing that I can think that they are possibly talking about is this...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melon_(cetacean)

Which, I guess, means we used to be sperm whales?

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

Or maybe these missing human alien species used to secrete melons

[-] Cowbob12@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago

So they're finally going for the buildings made by Europeans calling them impossible and made by aliens, we've gone full circle now.

[-] Magnetar@feddit.de 14 points 2 years ago

Especially since star forts are such a recent development. They are not some mysterious ancient ruins, we literally still have the blueprints from the people planning them.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 2 years ago

And the evolution of those blueprints! With commentary!

[-] dogsoahC@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Oof, evolution. That word alone makes it hard to grasp for these nutjobs.

[-] snowsuit2654 25 points 2 years ago

To be fair, the page is called Unbelievable History. It truly is unbelievable.

[-] lemmy_get_my_coat@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago
[-] Magnetar@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

How will I gland melons now?

You really need a good melon gland baller to get the best of the gland.

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

“Unbelievable History”

Yeah… that sums it up pretty well.

[-] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 8 points 2 years ago

There was some culture about elongating children' heads in south America. What was it again?

[-] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

It's a practice that's potentially older than our species and nearly as wide-ranging. I think there were several Mesoamerican cultures that performed it. Such things were occasionally practiced in western Europe as late as the early 1900s.

[-] Cosmicomical@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Did you know? Skyscrapers were built by atlantideans, those impossible structures of steel and glass don't follow the laws of physics.

[-] callyral@pawb.social 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

why would this be covered up if it was true

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

It's always a coverup with these people.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 years ago

You're right. I don't believe it.

[-] stinerman@midwest.social 6 points 2 years ago

They're absolutely right. I don't believe this.
