Sure, but it's still a world fair. Those buildings are temporary and made of plaster. It's not like we're discovering some grand civilization that has been usurped. It's just that fairs used to go way harder back in day.

This is the least insane post from that account.

[-] Rooskie91@discuss.online 14 points 2 months ago

Yeah looks like we're on the same page. The person is correct about the picture but also insane. It seems like they're trying to make some kind racist statement about the south or something.

I should have known the NWO were involved. Hulk Hogan is a bad man brother!

Now I'm curious what conspiracy theory involves woodworking

[-] dil@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

Looooolll this guy still thinks wood is real

[-] frezik@midwest.social 2 points 2 months ago

There's a worldwide clandestine effort to make you believe butt joints are fine, actually. WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

That's a mind struggling to get out ideas that may or may not be fully forming anyway. Kind of like a transmission going out at reduced power, so only parts of the message can get out, being mostly incoherent. Literally broken by the read of it.

Crap. Are lizard people real, too?

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Thank you for doing your homework.

[-] GorGor@startrek.website 10 points 2 months ago

Really what TuEstUnePommeDeTerre did was help us with ours. "Do your homework" is the laziest phrase, I cannot express how much I hate it. Its a phrase of dismissal. If you have a kid that is struggling, you should HELP them with their homework, not just tell them to do it. I say this because I think it is emblematic of the intellectual laziness of the folks who use this phrase thinking of it as punctuation in their winning argument.

[-] Johnmannesca@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Using intellect is a chore, and lots of us choose to divert it towards video games instead of worrying what happened, regardless of whether it was an hour ago aftet clocking out, or 200y ago. Giving the decency of a full thought is definitely harder when it isn't being encouraged.

Thanks for teaching us something new! I've never heard of the Trans-Mississippi Exposition. Funny, with a name like that, if it was held now it would be wildly different.

[-] Ashiette@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I'm sorry to contradict you but it's TuEsUnePommeDeTerre.

[-] Davel23@fedia.io 17 points 2 months ago

So it does indeed appear to be Omaha, Nebraska. What exactly are we being lied to about?

[-] egrets@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Edit: I misunderstood your question and tone, sorry, but everything below still stands!

They're temporary buildings made of wood, plaster of Paris, and cement, built here as an 1898 World's Fair.

"You are being lied to" heavily implies that the history of Omaha is being glossed over somehow (perhaps with respect to the Civil War? though it was a Union state, and the photo decades later than the war), and that this was the architectural style and decadence of Omaha. You are being lied to, every day, by politicians and advertisers and corporations - but the photo has no relevance to this. These buildings are little more than façades.

Somewhere in Middle America?

[-] half_built_pyramids@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Somewhere, in middle America, a tyrant had been allowed to grow and fester. "He still lives in the same house," they say, as if morality could be measured by possessions. This new type of villain requires a new type of hero. No super powers. No leaders. Just a commitment to ending billionaires, a list of names, and some affordable Molotovs.

Get right to the heart of matters.

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Right across the river from the world famous city of Council Bluffs, Iowa.
