What is a ruin? We're running off of "You know it when you see it" at the moment. Ruins should be non-functioning structures of some age, or their function reduced to tourism and the like. Generally speaking, specific items from a ruin should go to HistoryArtifacts@kbin.social Illustrations of ruins (or their reconstructions) should go to HistoryDrawings@kbin.social Photos of ruins back when they were functioning should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world

I remember them. Been there, walked up them. The photo deliberately exaggerates the precariousness, but they are spicy steps.

There's absolutely nothing that would make me go up these stairs. Maybe in panic, being followed by oats' Zygote, but maybe not.
