They took the enshitment too literally

As far as I can tell, that theory is quite fringe and does not have much support from peer reviewed tests.

The quarry is basically next to the pyramids, and the main issue with transportation was most likely space constraints: there's only so many people that can work at a given time on the pyramid itself, regardless of how much manpower the Pharoah could muster.

Carrying up millions of tons of powder sounds way less practical than carrying the solid stones to me, and making them off-site just to carry them up doesn't seem to make sense.

Also I see an issue with the correlation vs causation: healthier people probably masturbate more often, on average

That's a bit extreme, there are plenty of reasonable voices, at least here on europe, although the pro genocide groups tend to stick together and have and outsize power for the votes they get, they're not all there is.

In the US you don't have much choice but, that's all the more reason to vote and suport pro palestinian candidates, if there are any in your area.

I mean, it IS better than nothing. But I'm mostly referring to stupid accidents (poorly mantained gun exploding or dude playing with the safe and accidentally firing injuring someone) 300k is a whole lot better than 0

With how bad Trump is, it's understandable. But make sure to vote pro palestinian candidates if there are any in primaries or on the ballot.

Meanwhile some totally not complicit countries have cut funding to the unrwa for political gain.

I know the blockade and bombings impeding access to umanitarian trucks is a giant issue, but the impending collapse of the main provider of aid is the one thing we can colletively stop, donating to the unrwa directly.

But it also makes sure you get paid something in case accidents, at least in theory.

It's ridiculously easy to do 300k plus of accidental damages misusing a gun, but most people don't have 300k to pay even if a court orders them to.

And, coincidentally, every time the story comes up there's a company ready to sell you the magic roman concrete.
