Our grocery store has giant robots now.
As you can see, they put giant googley eyes on them to make them more endearing and less menacing. Except theyāre on the side of the robotās āhead,ā so you canāt see them when this 6 ft black obelisk with glowing blue eyes starts rolling up on you and your small defenseless child while youāre innocently standing in the baking aisle looking for pancake mix.
Today a woman at the grocery store passed me and said āThat stupid goddamn robot!ā and smashed her cart into it. The first blow in the human/robot war has been struck.
you have many hands to protect me, and me many eyes to look out for you
thenks @venus-suggestion for my life
I really should stop painting digital works that are enormousā¦I have to shrink it by so much to just post it T-T
Researchers have used Easter Island Moai replicas to show how they might have beenĀ āwalkedā to where they are displayed.

Finally. People need to realize aliens arenāt the answer for everything (when they use it to erase poc civilizations and how smart they were)
(via TumbleOn)
Whatās really wild is that the native people literally told the Europeans āthey walkedā when asked how the statues were moved. The Europeans were like ālol these backwards heathens and their fairy tales guess itās gonna always be a mystery!ā
Maori told Europeans that kiore were native rats and no one believed them until DNA tests proved it
And the Iroquois told Europeans that squirels showed them how to tap maple syrup and no one believed them until they caught it on video
Oral history from various First Nations tribes in the Pacific Northwest contained stories about a massive earthquake/tsunami hitting the coast, but no one listened to them until scientists discovered physical evidence of quakes from the Cascadia fault line.
Roopkund Lake AKA āSkeleton Lakeā in the Himalayas in India is eerie because it was discovered with hundreds of skeletal remains and for the life of them researchers couldnāt figure out what it was that killed them. For decades the āmysteryā went unsolved.
Until they finally payed closer attention to local songs and legend that all essentially said āYah the Goddess Nanda Devi got mad and sent huge heave stones down to kill themā. That was consistent with huge contusions found all on their neck and shoulders and the weather patterns of the area, which are prone to huge & inevitably deadly goddamn hailstones. https://www.facebook.com/atlasobscura/videos/10154065247212728/
Literally these legends were past down for over a thousand years and it still took researched 50 to āfigure outā the āmysteryā. š
Adding to this, the Inuit communities in Nunavut KNEW where both the wrecks of the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror were literally the entire time but Europeans/white people didnāt even bother consulting them about either ship until likeā¦last year.Ā
āInuit traditional knowledge was critical to the discovery of both ships, she pointed out, offering the Canadian government a powerful demonstration of what can be achieved when Inuit voices are included in the process.
In contrast, the tragic fate of the 129 men on the Franklin expedition hints at the high cost of marginalising those who best know the area and its history.
āIf Inuit had been consulted 200 years ago and asked for their traditional knowledge ā this is our backyard ā those two wrecks would have been found, lives would have been saved. Iām confident of that,ā she said. āBut they believed their civilization was superior and that was their undoing.ā

āOh yeah, I heard a lot of stories about Terror, the ships, but I guess Parks Canada donāt listen to people,ā Kogvik said. āThey just ignore Inuit stories about the Terror ship.ā
Schimnowski said the crew had also heard stories about people on the land seeing the silhouette of a masted ship at sunset.
āThe community knew about this for many, many years. Itās hard for people to stop and actually listen ⦠especially people from the South.ā

Indigenous Australians have had stories about giant kangaroos and wombats for thousands of years, and European settlers just kinda assumed they were myths. Cut to more recently when evidence of megafauna was discovered, giant versions of Australian animals that died out 41 000 years ago.
Similarly, scientists have been stumped about how native Palm trees got to a valley in the middle of Australia, and it wasnāt until a few years ago that someone did DNA testing and concluded that seeds had been carried there from the north around 30 000 years ago⦠aaand someone pointed out that Indigenous people have had stories about gods from the north carrying the seeds to a valley in the central desert.
oh man let me tell you about Indigenous Australian myths - the framework they use (with multi-generational checking thatās unique on the planet, meaning thereās no drifting or mutation of the story, seriously they are hardcoreĀ about maintaining integrity) means that we literally have multiple first-hand accounts of life and the ecosystemĀ before the end of the last ice age
itās literally the oldest accurate oral history of the world. Ā
Now consider this: most people consider the start of recorded history to be with Ā the Sumerians and the Early Dynastic period of the Egyptians. Ā So aroundĀ 3500 BCE, or five and a half thousand years ago These highly accurate Aboriginal oral histories originate from twenty thousand years ago at least
Aināt it amazing what white people consider history and what they donāt?
I always said disservice is done to oral traditions and myth when you take them literally. Ancient people were not stupid.
Just adding cool stuff, Inuit oral tradition preserves the stories of their people back when they lived in Siberia and watched volcanoes explode and hunted mastodons and stuff. Itās super detailed and super awesome and seriously indigenous knowledge and oral tradition has so much information and white science and history are just like nahhh
Four kids and their stabdads gathering for a nice family portrait.
Another collab withĀ Shalala obviously. HER DRAWING STYLE JUST LOOKS FREAKINā TEN SHADES OF AWESOME ON FREAKINā EVERY CHARACTER IN EXISTENCE.Ā I basically went āskdfhgkfhgsjfgdjgkjfā at her forĀ forever and of course I couldnāt keep myself from coloring.Ā

and then i did art.
iāll probably never do the other ones askfhaskjf
weh this might be the sweetest thing iāve ever drawn
