You expect me to believe Americans built row houses a century ago? They can't even do that today with modern technology.

Oh my god!

Modern building codes can’t even begin to comprehend the Los Angeles “Dingbat” apartment. Modern requirements say that “soft story” buildings are not safe in Earthquakes - yet some of these apartments still endure across Southern California.

How were they doing it 60 years ago? Where did these apartment blocks come from? What evidence remains of the methods used in construction?

Was visiting an old town in Italy over the summer and joked with my wife, "You're claiming an Italian moved these giant rocks out to form a peer? Impossible. Must have been aliens."

Of course, she rebuted that this is ridiculous. We know how Italians moved big stones. They just asked a friendly Cyclops.

I'm a flat baseballer. Baseballs are actually flat. Otherwise, there's just no way that a knuckleball could work. Think about it.

Also, the home plate isn't a pentagon. It's a square. And the so-called "diamond" is actually a triangle. Left field is a sphere, right field is a torus, and the fans watch from a hyper cube.

you expect me to believe that 20th century humans built this? without ai assistants or microsoft teams??? yeah right.

"It wasn't aliens!" - Says the people who work at a flying saucer looking building! I bet it doubles as a landing place for the aliens!!!

Holy Shit! That is even pyrimad shaped. There's no way a 20th century human built that without also getting guidance from the same Aliens 👽 that showed the Egyptians and Mayans. Amazing!

Reminds me of the time cube

It’s been done.

If you look closely, you can see that the pyramid's builders inscribed the exact date of completion: BRONZAGE.

It's all been done

This ancient mural depicting a siren could be found in all the major settlements of the time. This could indicate they were a seafaring people.

wait, holy shit i just noticed... i think this building was made by the tartarians! i mean, they even left their signature there! how is no one talking about this??6???

You see, this used to be a whole building! But now its just the outer ring because the middle is actually a space colony!

I'm pretty sure the usa 🇺🇸 couldn't build Hoover dam today.

How about 33 Thomas Street?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/33_Thomas_Street

It would be called the Trump Dam and would break down immediately.

The AT&T switching/NSA spying tower that is supposed to survive a nuclear blast?

But it would be golden

One of my previous apartment buildings has a reputation in the area for being a cryptid. Something about its hallways causes people to get lost super easilly. Everyone who lived there, myself included, only took a few practiced routes out of the building as to not take a half hour detour lost in the endless industrial corridors.

No shit, there's already a dam in the way, dummy,

Apartment complex? Solid. No holes.

Now the eiffel tower? There are so many holes in there. Made of metal like those soda cans that can bend so easily. Must be aliens

Sure. We'd have to adapt the conspiracy theory a bit to make it believable.

I'd like to propose one that also explains the suspicious abundance of banks and real estate offices. They were secretly funded by alien pedophile cabals so they could spy on the populace and mind control them. The initial alien expeditionary forces mistakenly reported back that bankers and real estate agents are the most beloved people on earth so they thought it would be the perfect disguise.

You mean the Oldest House?

They just asked a friendly Cyclops.

Nobody did that.

A statue asking for the poor and hungry in America? Bah, inconceivable

was widely derided as a joke by pundits within the US, when it was installed

I'm pretty sure the usa today couldn't build a swimming pool

America couldn't build a bass pro shop

Oh sure, when I get diarrhea so bad it takes out the town's sewage system the mud floods are a conspiracy, but the story from Russia is on Wikipedia

Yeah, I've actually heard it. In all seriousness someone claimed neoclassical architecture in New York was proof that the Greeks and Romans visited the Americas long before the Europeans got here

The Tour Montparnasse is just a giant JBL speaker that fell out of the sky, lost by a race of giant tourists in Paris.

Sorry my previous comment didn't explain: you gotta choose something which won't have tens of thousands of pages of architectural documents describing exactly how humans made it.

U.K. Parliament might work.

Well yeah, do you think Americans can cooperate? Look at them. No way any one of them could make a whole building on their individualist exceptional lonesome either.

Yeah - the “mudflood” shit is all over Facebook. I was really surprised at this post because it’s not hard to find people who believe this already.

Well, swimming pools seem a lot more difficult than reflecting pools.

Damn, forgot about that. 🤦‍♂️

Then how about The Central Research Institute of Robotics and Technical Cybernetics? Doubt those documents would have survived the dissolution of the USSR.

Or do we have to pick something completely mundane?

That kinda works in post-Soviet countries. "It is impossible to build this factory in such bloody mountains!" or "there's no chance that thing flew, not according to the modern engineering" or "this factory is automated to make bread out of raw ingredients? No, it wasn't possible in 1930"

Idk. Parliament checked my boxes.

You guys have heard of windows, right?

Pyramide de Sainte-Foy mentionnée!!

A layer of cheap gold paint that would start peeling right away.

you had to say the R-word

"reflecting"?

mods this one right here keeps using racial slurs at me
