Why is it called a Strait with all those curves?!
Because a long, long time ago some Roman dudes though it was a good idea to make that word mean “thin”.
I have a strait peepee
So people fight over it?
They call me Crassus the Tuna Can.
The musk of victory is upon you
Ah yes, the Never Given
It was easier than saying no homo after Hormuz.
BOOBS Big, make go up, many many dick
I think they were just talking about curves as in the non-sexual sense: The opposite of straight, where the “straight” is as in the non sexual-orientation sense.
Tho if that’s your thing, I can recommend to you the Atlantic Ocean.
I… can never unsee that…
Dude just speed the ships up and skid over the land (while drifting) and slide back into the water so sick
Cybran master race
For the family.
Looking up who controlled that peninsula, I found this lovely feature:
The UAE controls a lot of that peninsula, but the tip is controlled by Oman. Halfway down the peninsula is a roughly circular region, inland, that is controlled by Oman, but surrounded by territory controlled by UAE. Inside that circular region is an even smaller circular region controlled by UAE. I wonder how that happened.
Kind of like this:
Borders are stupid.
Ah yes, the daylight savings donut. The most confusing bite of desert you’ll ever have
Wow, that has to be confusing.
These are called Exclaves and there’s way more of them than you might think. I think this isn’t the only double Exclaves either. There are so many border fuckery things around the world, even in countries you might not expect, I want to make a YouTube video on them, I’m obsessed with finding them on google maps.
Take a look at the border of Nederland and België for an extreme example:
Wow, I knew the border wasn’t a straight line, but I didn’t realize quite how fractal it was. It’s like they interviewed each household and decided on a case-by-case basis who was Belgian and who was Dutch.
If you look closely it’s not even house by house. Much of it is just random fields or parts of fields. Maybe houses stood there decades or centuries earlier when the borders were drawn up, IDK
Maybe you’ve already seen that and are proposing a video covering even more of them, which I would love to watch!
It also funnels all the traffic into an even narrower pass that can be easily blocked by a bad actor
Why would Carrot Top want to block traffic?
Also it should be called the Bendy of Hormuz
Straight of Hormuz❤️🧡💛💚💙💜Gay of Hormuz ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Pfft. Why bother with this stupid sea travel bs? We have airplanes, just fly the oil out.
Nah. Planes are too expensive. Let’s just have a giant oil canon that shoots oil in a huge fluid arc from the Middle East to markets.
Hot air balloon and then you can burn the oil as fuel.
bang bang it instead of dig dig
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_PlowshareFun little fact, several underground detonations were carried out in gas fields as an early attempt at fracking. The result was a giant cavity full of radioactively contaminated methane, that didn’t even link up to the other two giant cavities full of radioactively contaminated methane.
Overall, massive failure all around. But the fun fact is that areas where those nuclear fracking tests occurred were the same areas where the first mysterious cattle mutilations were reported.
As a further note, local farmers, ranchers, and police were not told about the fracking tests, or the radioactive methane below their feet. Also, the cattle that were mutilated were missing lymph nodes, which could theoretically be tested in a lab for certain radiation based cancers.
Finally, the guy who did the initial investigations on the mutilations was best friends with a member of Air Force Office of Special Investigations who had been actively lying to a very smart yet gullible man, telling him that the strange aircraft and mysterious signals he was getting from the Air Force base across the street was in fact, aliens and not super classified aircraft and weapon systems tests.
I had heard of cow mutilations as part of tracking prion diseases but this is an interesting version

It tells the whole story, and yeah, some of the loudest voices in the UFO movement, were literally paid by the US government to lie, saying that top secret weapons tests were actually aliens.
OH that’s the same story. I think I watched part 1 of that a while ago. It would seem to me the answer is in El Dorado. Both.
I don’t believe Lazar is an acting prodigy who devoted his to an elaborate charade but I’m also certain many of these psyops are real. Mixing lies and truth in creative ways to specific ends is what some of these spooks live for.
I mean, it’s not hard to keep telling the same sorts of lies for years when people keep paying you to do so.
I’m not talking about the government here, the UFO community is happy to support a number of conmen and fake experts.
An onion of intellectually lazy assumptions.
I’m not gonna hold your hand through the logistical challenges that would be orchestrating Bob Lazar’s life instead here’s a body language expert watching his original reel: https://youtube.com/watch?v=DOj_BMFLhrk
I’ve watched a couple other interviews with Lazar, if he’s lying he’s better at it than Leonardo DiCaprio. And to seemingly no positive end.
Of course a “body language expert” is your proof.
I almost died laughing when I saw it.
It’s conmen all the way down. It’s what they do. They reference each other in a web of “legitimacy”.
Trump can practice for when he destroys Mt Rushmore.
Polymarket took that bet down already, you don’t have to keep advocating for it
They said ELI5, not ELICaveman
Looks like Operation Plowshare is back on the menu
Just schedule a few meteorites to fall there and you don’t have to spend so much in terrain modifications.
a job that would be hard even in minecraft…
Two hundred thousand blocks by 150 blocks, then filled with water 20 blocks deep? It’ll take a bit of time even using perimeter machines
In the scicraft server they made some scarily efficient redstone machines and computers, the certainly could pull it off.
Not with TNT duping and a flying machine. That’s pretty much made for canal digging.
To be fair, I don’t know how to dupe things, the redstone machines that i make are purpose built circuits. I don’t follow tutorials either, so unless I discover a thing by myself I don’t use it. Playing since 1.12 btw
Don’t even worry about canals and all that bs. Just go that way what are they gonna do about it?
Ahh, the Republican tactic
Why not tunnel?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stad_Ship_Tunnel
(not that this will ever make it out of bureaucratic hell)
The line he drew is 200km
Swiss: hold my beer
Just imagine the Ever Given floats into that tunnel.
Ah, yes.
Let’s start a major infrastructure project… in the middle of a warzone that is actively being hit by precision missile strikes on an regular basis.
While a pipeline in this location might make more sense… its still the same fundamental problem.
there basically is a pipeline in this location
Huh!
Well, I… hope it has a big strong hat, or something like that.
You got me thinking, such a canal could easily be disrupted. Hell, Hormuz is only 26km at the thinnest point and Iran can dominate the whole strait. Picture a bomb hitting the Panama Canal.
I mean yeah, all fixed, exposed surface infrastucture is generally quite fragile.
Wanna start a forever war with China?
Blow up the Three Gorges Dam, you’ll kill like 10 million people, minimum.
But uh yeah, if Iran can figure out some kind of way to stealthily lay out naval mines … yeah that ain’t great.
Or they could aim for the existing oil pipelines meant to avoid the Hormuz bottleneck.
Or maybe aim at the Saudi/UAE/Dubai’s mega vanity projects, just to fuck with their investments and ego.
