Dumbass hicks are in every country.
Same two guys were just at Sycamore Gap in England, what a weird coincidence to get the same assignment twice!
The tourist-y parts of it are pretty much all newly rebuilt anyway; there's not much of the original wall left at Mutianyu or Simatai or wherever.
Now there's even less of the original wall.
Only a matter of time before it becomes the Ship of Theseus
The whole point of that dumb thought experiment is that it's already the Ship of Theseus and always was.
The Huns: finally!
So is it now 'The Pretty Good Walls of China'?
'the adequate wall of China"
Ya I like that but you missed 'walls' plural.
Given that you can now drive a truck through, I’d say it’s no longer adequate.
The lesser wall of China.
Contractors are the fucking worst...
Education could've done something here.
Only the CCP is allowed to destroy China's cultural heritage.
Two workers near the Great Wall go missing.
I can’t help but wonder that literally sounds like what happened the first episode of Attack on Titan.
What are you talking about? It was the Collosal Titan that destroyed the wall, wasn't it?
That's just what they tell you.
Not sure if you're joking, but someday in 2030, when they finish airing, I'll rewatch the complete series.
This just reminded me I was waiting for this argh.
The invasion of Russia begins.
Shitty, but it also looks like that section of wall is just earthwork. Maybe a professional will chime in and say there's something valuable about it, but given that it's already mostly gone from erosion, I'm not sure if anything was actually lost here.
Pretty sure moving dirt isn't irreversible. Shitty thing to do though.
