This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Also the bass pro shop pyramid and luxor pyramid exist, we are at the point where our direct equivelents to the ancient pyramids is a sporting goods place and a monument to mans decadence.

As someone who grew up in Memphis, I hate that the pyramid got bought by Bass Pro Shop. It used to be a multi use structure for basketball, concerts, and even art exhibits.

It had been a dead venue for years. At least bass pro turned it back into a useful space

I know, it just felt like selling off a piece of city history to me instead of trying to do something else with it.

To be fair, those are only 2/3rds the height of the Great Pyramid Of Gizeh.
