Like the pyramid scheme on the back of the one dollar bill? That floating eye makes me poorer every time I see it.

- andai 9y agoSorry if I'm killing a joke or something, but could you please clarify?
- ebcode 9y agoYep, you're killing it. The Great Seal of The United States [0] is printed on the back of USD $1 bills. The motif on the obverse side of the seal is an uncapped pyramid with a floating eye on top. Thus, the pyramid "scheme". Then, the "All-Seeing-Eye", being some kind of symbol for God, is used to represent authority, or higher power, thus making me, a mortal and a peasant, feel less empowered, thus "poorer". Hope that clarifies things a bit. (note to self: stop joking on HN) [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Seal_of_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Seal_of_the_United_State...
