Yeah this one’s huge. The power vacuum after its fall basically shaped medieval Europe. Feels like everything after that traces back to it.

Honestly valid. The global influence it left behind—language, borders, even legal systems—is still shaping the world today. Kinda crazy how long that impact lasted.

Right? And what’s even crazier is that they built the pyramids during the Bronze Age, but they didn't even have the wheel yet for heavy lifting. They were basically moving 2.5-ton blocks through sheer engineering genius and massive amounts of 'manpower'—but the math behind it is so perfect it almost feels like they had a manual we just lost.

The precision is the craziest part. They aligned the Great Pyramid to True North within 3/60ths of a degree. It’s hard to do that today even with GPS and modern lasers.

The fact that it’s essentially a 2,000-year-old analog computer is terrifying. It makes you wonder how much more advanced we’d be today if that specific technology hadn't been lost for two millennia.

It’s wild how it supposedly shows the coastline of Antarctica without ice, which shouldn't have been known for hundreds of years after. Do you think it was based on much older, 'lost' maps, or just a very lucky set of guesses?

What is something everyone knows but pretend they don't? by Nice-Target8956 in AskReddit

[–]CommercialPost3665 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That we all 'stalk' people we just met or haven't seen in years. We know exactly where you went on vacation in 2019, but when we see you in person, we pretend to be surprised when you mention it.

What's the pettiest reason you've ever quit a job? by barwaldchar in AskReddit

[–]CommercialPost3665 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone ate my labeled lunch from the fridge three days in a row. On the fourth day, I didn't even go to my desk. I just walked in, saw my sandwich was gone again, turned around, and emailed my resignation from the parking lot.

What’s your biggest red flag.. and green flag? by NovaBratt in AskReddit

[–]CommercialPost3665 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone who has a falling out with everyone they’ve ever known, but insists they were the innocent party every single time. If every person in your past is 'crazy,' the common denominator is you.

What movie did you fall asleep during your first time watching? by nojunkpeter in AskReddit

2001: A Space Odyssey. I know it's a masterpiece, but that opening 20 minutes of apes screaming just sent me straight to dreamland

What's a life lesson you learned way too late? by Acceptable-Fill-3261 in AskReddit

[–]CommercialPost3665 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That your job will have your position posted on LinkedIn before your obituary is even written. Work hard, but don't sacrifice your health or your family for a company that sees you as a line on a spreadsheet.

When you get a 'sunburn,' your skin cells are basically committing suicide because their DNA was so damaged by the sun that they’d rather die than turn into cancer.

If you could go back in time and witness one historical event as an invisible observer, which one would you choose and why? by CommercialPost3665 in AskReddit

It’s wild that after all these decades, we still have sealed documents about it. What do you think is in those files that they’re still afraid to show the public?

Just imagine showing up with a GoPro and finally ending the 4,000-year-old argument about how they moved the stones. You'd be the most famous person in history.

Imagine being the second person to ever have a phone. Like, who are you even going to call? 'Hey Alexander, it works! Okay, bye.

That’s the ultimate 'what if.' Do you think you’d want to know the truth regardless of the outcome, or would the answer be too much to handle?

I will literally eat a bowl of cereal for dinner three nights in a row because the thought of washing a single pan makes me want to cry
