Man, it has been fascinating and kinda horrifying to see what Twitter can get away with due to their size. Imagine if a major Lemmy instance was hosting arms deals.
A feline anthropologist, I see.
Ehhhh... Kinda. It's like asking if BitTorrent or Usenet is piracy. Technically crypto isn't a scam, but that's mainly what it gets used for.
Sam and Max. I want some more point and click adventure games.
You're just mad because they won't let you piss on things anymore.
They have arrived.

Edit for those who don't understand: it's a reference to Hypnospace Outlaw, a game where you play as a moderator for a sleep internet device.
Are you kidding? I can't speak for anyone else, but I think the overlap between the two is awesome!
Sometimes I wonder how much of our universe is sitting on the surface of a metaphorical lake; and the things we see are just the bits that poke up above the water. That there's an entirely separate world pressing up against ours, and normally they don't interact; except sometimes they do, leading to effects which (to my knowledge) seem to have no cause, such as dark matter, dark energy, quantum unpredictablility and so forth.
Based on the article, it sounds like they actually did have a basic understanding of sound building techniques because they went above and beyond the basics by doing things like carving sockets into the bedrock.
However that doesn't mean they all gathered around a table, broke out their blueprints, calipers, slide rules and abacuses to design a structure that would last millenia. As you're implying, there are likely many others that didn't last that long.
My very uneducated speculation is that the ones still standing were later ones built after they'd already had a lot of practice building things. There were likely tens or hundreds of them that didn't last because they were still figuring out how to build structurally stable buildings.
