While this is hella goofy, it looks like the bolts were already in place for a larger flange. And they just kindaโ€ฆ made do. Sorta.

Anchor bolts were already installed, and then the base was changed. No time to redo it, so just make it work, and hope the client doesn't notice.

Probably didn't have the masonry bit they needed to do it.

It's probably temporary until they come back with the bit and the anchors.

Imagine if the pyramids were built by the lowest bidder.

They were, nothing cheaper than free slave labor.

pretty sure the modern consensus is that the builders were well respected and well paid, and got to be buried in and near the pyramids they constructed.

Being buried by your job sounds like a throwaway line that was supposed to be world building in a cyberpunk novel. Go to Walmart and can't find parking cause the lot is full of headstones of dead Walmart greeters.

I sure hope that is the case. Would be nice to have something positive in history.

Just so you know it is usually the lowest qualified builder of spec. There are loads of problems in how contracts are rewarded this one is a talking point not really covering the issue. Like noting that someone dying of Covid is a bit sad. Ok, yeah it's true but there is a lot more going on here.

Slaves vs slaves

The only difference is the masters donโ€™t have to live down with the plebs anymore and can go literally anywhere else in the world and stay there.

Wait until space travel becomes more affordable :)

Pyramids were built by skilled laborers.

The meme is obviously referring to the labor it took vs the labor this took and not at all about design or engineering

But go off with your pedantics

Anyone can make a pyramid that last forever, it takes a properly educated engineer to make a pyramid that barely stands with the fewest stone blocks.

It's like you're having a bad week and you have that one friend that is there to support you through thick and thin. Meanwhile, three of your other friends are patting you on the back saying, "Hey, buddy...tough break - hang in there, man. Gotta go!"

Didnt they prove that the pyramids were built by craftsmen and laborers, not slaves?
