It's so easy!

Why is it called a Strait with all those curves?!
Because a long, long time ago some Roman dudes though it was a good idea to make that word mean "thin".
I have a strait peepee
So people fight over it?
They call me Crassus the Tuna Can.
The musk of victory is upon you
Ah yes, the Never Given
It was easier than saying no homo after Hormuz.
BOOBS Big, make go up, many many dick
I think they were just talking about curves as in the non-sexual sense: The opposite of straight, where the "straight" is as in the non sexual-orientation sense.
Tho if that's your thing, I can recommend to you the Atlantic Ocean.
I... can never unsee that...
That's Sohm Plain, alright...
Looking up who controlled that peninsula, I found this lovely feature:
The UAE controls a lot of that peninsula, but the tip is controlled by Oman. Halfway down the peninsula is a roughly circular region, inland, that is controlled by Oman, but surrounded by territory controlled by UAE. Inside that circular region is an even smaller circular region controlled by UAE. I wonder how that happened.
Kind of like this:
Borders are stupid.
Ah yes, the daylight savings donut. The most confusing bite of desert you'll ever have
Wow, that has to be confusing.
These are called Exclaves and there's way more of them than you might think. I think this isn't the only double Exclaves either. There are so many border fuckery things around the world, even in countries you might not expect, I want to make a YouTube video on them, I'm obsessed with finding them on google maps.
Take a look at the border of Nederland and België for an extreme example:
Wow, I knew the border wasn't a straight line, but I didn't realize quite how fractal it was. It's like they interviewed each household and decided on a case-by-case basis who was Belgian and who was Dutch.
If you look closely it's not even house by house. Much of it is just random fields or parts of fields. Maybe houses stood there decades or centuries earlier when the borders were drawn up, IDK

Maybe you’ve already seen that and are proposing a video covering even more of them, which I would love to watch!
It also funnels all the traffic into an even narrower pass that can be easily blocked by a bad actor
Why would Carrot Top want to block traffic?
Bad actor? Iran is bombing Israeli and American military facilities, it's a great actor!
Or a good one
Or a bad actor going a good job
Or a good actor doing a bad job
bang bang it instead of dig dig

Fun little fact, several underground detonations were carried out in gas fields as an early attempt at fracking. The result was a giant cavity full of radioactively contaminated methane, that didn't even link up to the other two giant cavities full of radioactively contaminated methane.
Overall, massive failure all around. But the fun fact is that areas where those nuclear fracking tests occurred were the same areas where the first mysterious cattle mutilations were reported.
As a further note, local farmers, ranchers, and police were not told about the fracking tests, or the radioactive methane below their feet. Also, the cattle that were mutilated were missing lymph nodes, which could theoretically be tested in a lab for certain radiation based cancers.
Finally, the guy who did the initial investigations on the mutilations was best friends with a member of Air Force Office of Special Investigations who had been actively lying to a very smart yet gullible man, telling him that the strange aircraft and mysterious signals he was getting from the Air Force base across the street was in fact, aliens and not super classified aircraft and weapon systems tests.
I had heard of cow mutilations as part of tracking prion diseases but this is an interesting version

and
Part Two: How The U.S. Government Used Aliens To Destroy a Man's Mind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cD5WETr_DA
It tells the whole story, and yeah, some of the loudest voices in the UFO movement, were literally paid by the US government to lie, saying that top secret weapons tests were actually aliens.
OH that's the same story. I think I watched part 1 of that a while ago. It would seem to me the answer is in El Dorado. Both.
I don't believe Lazar is an acting prodigy who devoted his to an elaborate charade but I'm also certain many of these psyops are real. Mixing lies and truth in creative ways to specific ends is what some of these spooks live for.
I mean, it's not hard to keep telling the same sorts of lies for years when people keep paying you to do so.
I'm not talking about the government here, the UFO community is happy to support a number of conmen and fake experts.
An onion of intellectually lazy assumptions.
I'm not gonna hold your hand through the logistical challenges that would be orchestrating Bob Lazar's life instead here's a body language expert watching his original reel: https://youtube.com/watch?v=DOj_BMFLhrk
I've watched a couple other interviews with Lazar, if he's lying he's better at it than Leonardo DiCaprio. And to seemingly no positive end.
Of course a "body language expert" is your proof.
I almost died laughing when I saw it.
It's conmen all the way down. It's what they do. They reference each other in a web of "legitimacy".
Back to lazy verbal masturbation. You poor headline monkeys are so depressingly dense. Come one kid, challenge your preconceived notions and think... Or not, you were never going to do anything of any consequence anyway so nothing changes to the world either way.
Show me some form of proof other than some guy on youtube lying about how another guy isn't lying.
"Dr G" makes it his life's work to tell stories to gullible people.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9037296/ <- This right here is why I'm sure of this. People are just not good at detecting lies, even "trained" experts. People who claim to be good at detecting lies are deluding themselves or tying to sell you something.
Let's just talk about Bob Lazar. Not his UFO claims, but his education claims.
Lazar claims to have obtained master's degrees in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and in electronics from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). However, both universities show no record of him.[1][3] Scientists Stanton T. Friedman and Donald R. Prothero have stated that nobody with Lazar's high school performance record would be accepted by either institution.[1][4] Lazar is unable to supply the names of any lecturers or fellow students from his alleged tenures at MIT and Caltech; one supposed Caltech professor, William Duxler, was in fact located at Pierce Junior College and had never taught at Caltech.[1][5] Friedman asserted, "Quite obviously, if one can go to MIT, one doesn't go to Pierce. Lazar was at Pierce at the very same time he was supposedly at MIT more than 2,500 miles away."[1]
Is it shocking that a man who has been documented lying and trying to con people since the early 80s would just keep doing that?
Trump can practice for when he destroys Mt Rushmore.
Polymarket took that bet down already, you don't have to keep advocating for it
Straight of Hormuz
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜Gay of Hormuz ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Looks like Operation Plowshare is back on the menu
Dude just speed the ships up and skid over the land (while drifting) and slide back into the water so sick
For the family.
Just schedule a few meteorites to fall there and you don't have to spend so much in terrain modifications.
They said ELI5, not ELICaveman
Ah, yes.
Let's start a major infrastructure project... in the middle of a warzone that is actively being hit by precision missile strikes on an regular basis.
While a pipeline in this location might make more sense... its still the same fundamental problem.
You got me thinking, such a canal could easily be disrupted. Hell, Hormuz is only 26km at the thinnest point and Iran can dominate the whole strait. Picture a bomb hitting the Panama Canal.
I mean yeah, all fixed, exposed surface infrastucture is generally quite fragile.
Wanna start a forever war with China?
Blow up the Three Gorges Dam, you'll kill like 10 million people, minimum.
But uh yeah, if Iran can figure out some kind of way to stealthily lay out naval mines ... yeah that ain't great.
Or they could aim for the existing oil pipelines meant to avoid the Hormuz bottleneck.
Or maybe aim at the Saudi/UAE/Dubai's mega vanity projects, just to fuck with their investments and ego.
there basically is a pipeline in this location
Huh!
Well, I... hope it has a big strong hat, or something like that.
a job that would be hard even in minecraft...
Not with TNT duping and a flying machine. That’s pretty much made for canal digging.
To be fair, I don't know how to dupe things, the redstone machines that i make are purpose built circuits. I don't follow tutorials either, so unless I discover a thing by myself I don't use it. Playing since 1.12 btw
But lots of boom boom work.
https://www.osti.gov/opennet/servlets/purl/453701.pdf
Where is that located in the world?
Edit: Ah, between Saudi Arabia to the south and Iran to the north, my bad
ELIC (Explain Like I'm Caveman)
Edit: the thumbnail looks like two chimps holding hands
Explain like I'm 5 million years ago. (Well, 500,000 is more like it, but there's no nifty name for that, so a chat with monke it is)
To anyone about to pounce on this hoser that apes aren't monkes: all apes are a branch within the monkes and you can't evolve out of a clade (monophyly). So either apes are monkes, or the word ape is synonymous with catarhini (making rhesus macaques also apes), or monkes don't exist. The reason science goes with the first is that monkeys all share similar body plans while us apes have the weird derived features you damn, dirty apes!
Thank you, although I feel like using the meme spelling offered some protection anyway.
Also public service announcement that pachyderm is no longer a category of any meaning. I made a wet of myself with that one, once.
Unga bunga, dig long cave!
Pfft. Why bother with this stupid sea travel bs? We have airplanes, just fly the oil out.
Operation Plowshare 2: Middle East Boogaloo
Fuck it add some loopty loops like a curly straw add some barrel rolls and a turn pike. Gotta give the ships something to do
The problem is that the map has two more dimensions than the original poster’s mind can think in
You can see time on this map?
Why not tunnel?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stad_Ship_Tunnel
(not that this will ever make it out of bureaucratic hell)
The line he drew is 200km
Swiss: hold my beer
Just imagine the Ever Given floats into that tunnel.
Its possible but will be super expensive
Now if you look at my proposal:
At 50m elevation change it is inline with the Panama Canal or the Canal of Corinth and a length below 600km it should be easy doable.
Now you need to balance the cost of building that vs bombing the shit out of Iran. Manly men like Hegseth know the answer!
Ok, but hear me out: We drop the bombs all along this line instead! Iirc Alaska was planning (or did?) this with nukes 💀
Panama Canal has a natural lake to feed water to the canal locks. Where are you going to get a sufficient water supply for the 50m of elevation in this proposal?
Im sure 2 nation that export lots of fossil fuels will find the energy to pump up ocean water. Nothing could possibly go wrong when pumping salt water inland.
I mean, the ships are coming from the ocean, just tell them to bring some of that water along for the trip.
tunnel down far enough under desert? Use oil they can't sell to power pumps? ... profit some revenue.
Just put big scoop on boat
How would that prevent Iran from just firing the missiles to the canal itself?
found the Wurm Online player
Imagine the money went into that canal instead of a 20 mile long feverdream of a livingspace.
The idea is good im not joking.
Is it tho
NGL though, I didn't think much that there is a mountain on that jutting peninsula. I based my knowledge of geography of the region from playing Hearts of Iron too much 🤣
Bro there's mountains there in HOI
Diggy hard
Don't even worry about canals and all that bs. Just go that way what are they gonna do about it?
Ahh, the Republican tactic
Dynamite go boom. Make hole.
No need for that when you finally take down Putin. In less than 2 years from now, Vladimir Putin will be history.
I like the idea that this guy isn't doing a bit and just treats every 5 year old he meets like a caveman
stay in territorial waters. same effect with no digging. zealots going to attack regardless
