@Oneeyeking@noagendasocial.com That humans cut and put those rocks there on purpose.

@Oneeyeking@noagendasocial.com No, but it's made of rock.
And btw the pyramids had an outer finishing layer that has eroded away

@Oneeyeking@noagendasocial.com @opal Maybe the US has it worse because less people use public transport there, but yes, every country has problems with traffic.
Yes, certainly there could be corruption in giving construction contracts but you don't need a huge conspiracy between the government, construction companies and gps makers.
And if you want to say that quality of the roads isn't up to snuff due to corruption, then you need to demonstrate how the current corruption is unique, because corruption has always been there in institutions, even Roman ones

@Oneeyeking@noagendasocial.com The concrete connecting the rocks on the surface of the road is gone sometimes replaced with dirt and grass.

@Oneeyeking@noagendasocial.com Yes, if I place a rock somewhere and then walk on it it's going to be still be there in 2 thousand years. Btw they're not there in the original state, they are withering away.
Technical progress isn't linear, it plateaus, it jumps.

@Oneeyeking@noagendasocial.com @opal literally every country has a traffic problem regardless if they have toll roads or not
You can also just tell your GPS to avoid toll roads

@rohrkrepierer@merovingian.club simple is better :blobshrug:

@Oneeyeking@noagendasocial.com
The Romans didn't have thousands of 70 ton trucks every day drive over them and small roads fall into disrepair because they aren't a priority for maintenance. Our roads appear shit because we want too much of them.
Yes, the Romans were very skilled civil engineers and were the best during their time, but they didn't have some mysterious secret sauce.

@Oneeyeking@noagendasocial.com I know about this discovery, but Roman roads weren't built with concrete and we do have self healing concrete and super durable concrete, we just don't build everything with them because we don't feel the cost is justified
