Dunno about taking down the whole statue but at least take down that poem about the huddled masses causes it's false advertising.

"Bring me your tired, your poor..."

Average American:

It was always false advertising, added years after it was put up.

We take in a fifth of the worlds legal immigrants. Wtf are you talking about? So you want to start abducting people?

[–] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 18 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

There should be zero illegal immigration into the USA.

Because immigration should never be a crime.

It swam here dummy. Everyone knows lady liberty is the first mecha ever made. That's why it turned green, from all the seaweed it had to eat.

I have it on good authority that she is fueled by ghost boogers and Jackie Wilson songs, and she’s controlled with an NES Advantage joystick. There was a documentary.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I remember this documentary. It was narrated by Harold Ramus, Dan Ackroyd, and Bill Murray.

Not the copper armor they used way back then? Dang, next you're going to tell me it didn't run off of coal-fueled steam power too

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 22 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

if you're estimating average americans' knowledge of american history, it's a pretty good bet you're overestimating it

[–] dogsnest@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

The call it North America because we're all part of the 'states.

[–] callouscomic@lemm.ee 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I bet next you'll tell me it was originally a copper color. Just ridiculous. Get outta here.

That's the real question: what the hell technology were these ancient peoples using to be able to assemble something as complex as the Statue of Liberty? You might not like the answers the science points to, but it's hard to rule out aliens.

This would be better if it weren't hollow and anyone can look inside.

[–] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 weeks ago

Why do you think nobody is allowed into the arm?

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 weeks ago

Show me a photo of the entire interior at once, then.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

I mean if you had paid attention you'd know that the Statue of Liberty has only ever been filled with ghost slime.
