We usually use machines powered by petroleum to do that. I've not seen human labor used for this work in my lifetime.
- Nashooo 2y agoBecause, why would you we when we have those machines.. What a weird argument. Just look at how we used to be build cathedrals until recently and how many labourers died. Heck, take a look at the construction of the World Cup Stadiums in Qatar...
- masklinn 2y ago> We usually use machines powered by petroleum to do that. First, GP claimed it couldn't be done even with machines. Second... how's that relevant? > I've not seen human labor used for this work in my lifetime. First, what work, building pyramids? Because people have definitely built shit by hand in your lifetime, I can assure you. Second, why would we do things the slower, more expensive, and more dangerous way, if we don't have to? You don't get your nonsense delivered to your readers by runners, riders, or messenger pigeons, that doesn't mean they didn't exist. But if you want an example of human hard work in the modern era, look no further than Dashrath Manjhi. Dude hammered and chiseled his way through an entire ridge over more than 20 years.
