I found a lot of these very interesting. Talk about sitting around contemplating life....lol This is a post on X

This is not a political post or I would have put it in that section.

A Sunday brain teaser while you have your cup of coffee is all it is

Questions To Ask Ourselves:
1. What is an Egyptian pyramid doing on a US dollar bill?
2. Why did 56 countries sign a treaty not to take risks and enter Antarctica?
3. Why do planes never fly over Antarctica?
4. How did NASA "lose" the photos of the moon landing, one of the most important moments for humanity?
5. If Neil Armstrong was the first to walk on the moon, who held the camera?
6. Why haven't we gone back to the moon?
7. If monkeys evolved into humans, why are there still monkeys?
8. Why does 95% of our DNA exist as "junk"? Who decided it was actually "garbage"?
9. How were huge, symmetrical, detailed, sacred, and geometrically regular structures such as cathedrals and parliamentary buildings created by people who lived in log cabins, rode horse-drawn carriages, and had no machines or lasers?
10. How is it that similar pre-Columbian architecture is found all over the world?
11. Why are there images in ancient Egyptian art that resemble "spaceships"?
12. Why were remains and images of giant people found? And why do different ancient scriptures from various cultures, including the Bible, talk about giants?
13. Why are there images of mushrooms in ancient Christian art? And why does the Pope dress up like a giant Amanita muscaria mushroom?
14. Why do ancient Egyptian artworks show jaws, and is it a coincidence that the pineal gland resembles jaws?
15. Why are there descriptions of dragons all over the world and in different cultures, thousands of years apart, and also mentioned in the Bible?
16. Why is there so much blatant satanic symbolism in the music and entertainment industry?
17. Why do most video games revolve around killing?
18. How is it possible that movies and cartoons like The Simpsons can predict certain cultural events so accurately?
19. How do forest fires melt cars but leave trees intact?
20. What is the national debt? If there is a borrower, there must also be a lender: who is it?
21. How is it that the so-called "national debt" has increased despite tax increases? Where does the taxpayer's money go?
22. Why is alcohol and tobacco poisoning considered "normal" and referred to simply as "drinking" and "smoking"?
23. Why are alcohol and tobacco shown in almost all shows and movies?
24. How do news presenters around the world and on various channels say and repeat the same script word for word?
25. If we are more progressive and informed than ever before, why do we have the highest rates of obesity, cancer, and heart disease, not to mention depression?

I have always wondered about a lot of these!! Especially your niel Armstrong stepping on the moon!

Since you're a traveling man, i suggest taking a trip to the creation museum and the ark encounter in Kentucky. One the experience is quite grand and i think they touch on some of your questions. Especially about your dragons.

Thanks for the mind squeeze this morning.

7 is pretty funny. Not sure we‘re done evolving 😁

How does the most powerful nation on earth go to war with a 3rd world country and after 20 years of battle leave unvictorious …. not once, but twice.

Alcohol and tobacco are easy…..,
Too much of an opportunity for government on all levels to cash in on tax revenue with very little opposition,

it'd be nice to actually have a discussion regarding a few items in that post...

unfortunately some people who disagree and are not willing to view possibilities of another answer from their own.. start name calling and yell the loudest... some even generate an AI post of 1k words under one minute of the original post...LOL


many questions and possibilities.....

how and why where these geoglyphs developed

endless of possibilities and questions

Most of which could be answered by spending an afternoon in a public library...


I thought everyone learned about Charles Thomson and the pyramid in grade school civics class. 🤷

25. If we are more progressive and informed than ever before, why do we have the highest rates of obesity, cancer, and heart disease, not to mention depression?
Pretty simple if you can take a cheap commodity and process it you can make great profit. Processing plants are expensive and limit competition.On top of it if you make it addictive you can keep people coming back. If you notice there is a direct correlation between the increase consumption of vegetable oil, sugar and grain products the increase cancer, obesity diabetes etc. Mental illness is food related. Growing up in the 60s grocery stores were small. Mostly a meat dairy section, fresh fruits and vegetables and canned foods. Not nearly so many processed foods. Comparethat to today.

Whole wheat products are not actually whole wheat. Have you noticed how wheat products have to be enriched because vitamins and minerals are lost in the process.

If breakfast is the most important meal of the day then why do we serve the most unhealthy food of the day. Cereals, pancakes, muffins are processed grains and sugars. Juices have as much sugar as a coke. The benefits of fiber, which slows the gluclose response, has been stripped away.

whole food products like beef and vegetables can be grown locally and dont require elaborate processing or distribution. It can be direct farm to table. Food corporations dont not like it.

Food producers know they are causing diabetes, heart disease, parkinson, mental health etc. They will fight be labled as the cause of your health problems.


Big pharma and health care reap the benefits. They know that to reverse diabetes you haveto stop eating processed foods. They would rather you be sick. There are more and more drugs to treat diabetes and they can make a lot of money if you are sick. The prevention and cure are free. Stop eating processed foods.

Doctors can tell 10 or more years before you get diabetes. They could help you if they ordered the correct tests. An elevated insulin level is the sign of insulin resistance or prediabetes. A fasting insulin test is the key. The insulin is what is causing the damage. If you have an a1c of 5.5 orhigher you are in the danger zone

Great post, the amount of NON food that people are willing to eat, or don’t know what they’re eating is insane. Easy quick meals replaced home cooked/prepared meals a long time ago. I work with people who eat out nightly. I can’t imagine what that costs a month.
The straight up garbage in the grocery store is mind boggling as well. UPF Ultra Processed Foods are killing more people than tobacco by 5-1 I bet.

Thanks, @DILLIGAF, for these fun questions. Some I feel I can answer. In this one, I feel confident I can contribute to making people think.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Bernays

I am a student of Edward Bernays. He is the person responsible for making us believe that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

https://gobraithwaite.com/thinking/edward-bernays-and-why-we-eat-bacon-for-breakfast/

I'll get to the punchline with Edward Bernays; he was hired to sell more bacon and paid doctors to write about breakfast in medical journals.

When you go to Europe, you will find most people are still athletic builds, and few are obese. There is no fast food place on every corner and no super big gulps.

Corporate food is killing us; stop eating it. It is poison.

BTW Edward Bernays is also the guy who got everyone smoking, and he laid the groundwork for propaganda as a tool.

Because we were not actually at war with a country but were at war with a political / theological philosophy both times. As such we were careful to not destroy too much infrastructure and have too many civilian casualties. If we went to war with a country (as we did in WWII) we would wipe them out very quickly.

Modern warfare seems to be a vessel for increasing shareholder value. Consumable products make the best business model. What value are products that sit idle? Most of the population of the earth are pawns on the chessboard. War Mongers feel zero remorse for the loss of human life. It would be even better if they could destroy infrastructure without overly impacting the labor to rebuild. War is a useful tool best served in places where you don't live.

EXACTLY 100% on target. I was in Ireland for a bit back in the summer. I could be slightly off on my numbers, but drove a rental car for about 1250 miles and saw..... 2 McDonalds, 5 KFC, 1 Burger king and about 5 Subways. Yep, good ol restaurant food, and some home cooking at the home we stayed with.

#4, 5 and 6 are a good testimony to the negative impacts of social media
