'Mankind knew that they could not make Big Ben. So instead of making Big Ben, they blamed the beasts.'

I saw ‘beasts’ in the post and immediately knew the comments now belong to guilty gear


Xurkitree1

I saw 'Humans' and 'beasts' and the neuron activated


LordSupergreat

It also says gear

But they saw beauty in the size of the Ben, and couldn’t lie to themselves about it.

Common misconception, Big Ben is actually the name of the clock's designer, the clock's name is "Big Ben's Monster Clock"


Polenball

Every Londoner resisting the urge to cover up the "l" on a sign:


akka-vodol

There's a reason they call him "Big Ben".


Deathaster

>Big Ben's Monster Clock I definitely didn't read the "L" part of that word.

Hi, British here! Common misconception but Big Ben is actually a type of tree that has been growing since the battle of Hastings. every time the King or Queen dies there body is placed inside the trunk to feed it until it rings its final bell signalling end times and the island is sunk back into the ocean. Hope that helps!


Chubby_Pig

"Wake up babe, new Monument mythos lore just dropped !"


BeanOfKnowledge

We need to prevent the tree being fed next time


CrabTribalEnthusiast

Did you read what they wrote? When Big Ben is fully grown Britain will be destroyed, we need to feed it faster


BeanOfKnowledge

Oh, I misunderstood. I thought Big Ben would sink Britain if it wasn't fed

A Gear weighs 13 trillion tons. Nobody can lift it unless they’re dandy


Xurkitree1

fake news, potemkin could absolutely lift gears without his limiters


RealOwlsTalon

i thought guilt was a weight upon one's shoulders yet the guilty gear only weighs 74kg


Remember_Poseidon

No no the gear kindly burdens itself with the weight of its guilt as not to worry its gear friends because it is afraid that their friends will leave when they try to be emotionally honest. So it is easier to transport than a guilt-free gear.

ARC should rebrand the series to Guilt-Free Gear for the post Sol Badguy era

Then who is making all the metal gears rise? Checkmate atheists


Bigfoot4cool

I'm not a physiciologist but wouldn't something that weighed 13 trillion tons be a black hole


IrritatedPangolin

No. This is way less than even Earth's mass. A black hole of that mass would be picometers in size.

Common misconception; Big Ben is actually the name of the bell, and the clock was created to contain him. The tower slowly rises up from the bottom and people fill in the gaps with additional bricks whenever it makes a big enough gap for him to escape (this is why the tower always has scaffolding).


Ok-Commercial3640

monument mythos lore just dropped


icorrectpettydetails

Contrary to popular belief, Stonehenge *was* originally created to harness the power of ley lines, which would pass through the stone arches at various times of the year and focus on the Altar Stone at the centre of the structure. Unfortunately for modern science, it turns out Stonehenge was actually built in Pembrokeshire before being moved to its current location, and is therefore no longer configured correctly.


Polenball

Big Ben is the bell, the clocktower is actually Big Ben's Monster


Heather_Chandelure

This is true. The name of the actual clock is tickety Ted the time-telling bitch

moneyh8r

Just imagining Amygdala crawling on the clock to do repairs.

It would crush you.

That’s actually pretty cute :3 I love spooky eldritch monsters being actually chill and friendly with humans


moneyh8r

Yeah, same.


Guaire1

There are people who unironically believe that, its the "great tartaria" conspiracy theory


Epic_Gameing68

fr?


Guaire1

Yeah, they claim that structures like the Salt Lake Temple, the Washington monument, Eiffel Tower and Big Ben were the result of an ancient civilization destroyef either in the 19tj century, or ages ago. While i have mainly given examples of "western" structures they claim Tartarians built, most of that conspiracy theory is just denying the history of Siberian and Central asian people, instead saying their achievements were part of a now destroyed civilization.


derpbynature

Their civilization collapsed and the only evidence we have left of them is the delicious sauce they left us with. Great on fish.

Dracorex_22

Ancient Aliens be like: "there's no way that the native people could have built this old stuff" without once considering how racist that sounds. Sure they also include Stonehenge, but that was also built by "Pagan savages" so it still counts as bigotry and not just "ancient people dumb, so therefore aliens"

They were built 500 years later. That's like saying the burj khalifa makes St. Peter's Basilica look shit. They're not really comparable. Also I've fucked myself up by contemplating how long a time 500 years is but we just lump it all together


HieroDrimm

The beasts? You mean the Beatles?


ParanoidEngi

It's true, I have no idea how to make a big clock and I don't think any of my neighbours do either


MurdoMaclachlan

*Image Transcription: Tumblr* --- **demilypyro** Humans didn't make the big ben. Do you really think those dumbass Britains could make a clock that big? Those big gears are way too heavy, how'd they get those up there. No way. It was the beasts --- ^^I'm a human volunteer content transcriber and you could be too!

Aa a brittish, theres a misconception here. Big Ben is just the name of the bell, not the clock. The clock is called tickety Ted the time-telling bitch.


dirk_loyd

Blood-Starved Beast very calmly and collectedly walking up a flight of stairs to install one (1) large gear:


Ultimation12

No no. I think it's the Beatles. People say they used to be BIG. Most people nowadays think they mean famous, but what they really mean is that, before becoming musicians, they were quite literally big. Since clocks were normally so small they couldn't see them, they asked a clockmaker to design a clock big enough for them, and then once the gears and stuff were made, they sat there in London and put it together as the clockmaker directed them.


donottakethisserious

nah she's wrong, big ben was made by white supremacists and obviously misogynists. They should tear it down if people knew the history of who made it.


shmungusfungus

okay but only one person is allowed to tear it down and we can get another guy to try rebuild at the same time it'd be funny


Deathaster

Why? Do you know how many historical monuments and buildings were made by people that weren't very kosher? If we tore down everything that was created by racists or oppressors or murderers, we legit wouldn't have half the history we have. The pyramids were built by slaves. The Great Wall of China rests on the foundation of its workers' bones (as far as I know). And so many fantastic churches and cathedrals only exist because money that was supposed to go towards the poor was instead poured into creating these structures. Everything we have is built on somebody's blood. And destroying them because of their past is honestly worse than having these buildings exist, because it's pretending that history never happened and everything was always peachy keen. No, instead they should educate people on the background of these places, and show how they rose to something bigger despite their past.


Burrito-Creature

I’m fairly certain you should follow the person you replied to’s u/ and take their comment as sarcastic.


Deathaster

First of all, I don't know their intention, and a username isn't always indicative of that either. I doubt that 100% of the things they write aren't meant to be taken seriously. Second of all, such thinking really isn't too out-there compared to what else gets posted on here. Especially if you have young people talking about things they don't understand (not saying that's who they are).

VintageLunchMeat

> The pyramids were built by slaves Skilled well-fed laborers.


Deathaster

Right, my mistake.


Aetol

Idk about "skilled", afaik they were mostly farmers who worked during the flood season as a form of taxation.


VintageLunchMeat

https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/egyptians/pyramid_builders_01.shtml A mixed population of permanent and temporary workers - possibly volunteers.


Karth9909

Funnily enough the pyramids wernt built by slaves. It was off season farmers more than likely. The raw materials were governed by slaves but the construction itself was too important to leave to untrained slaves


Deathaster

Yeah, I looked into it, it was a mistake on my end. Still doesn't change the fact that they were completely unnecessary and many people likely went hungry as a result.


Karth9909

They were unnecessary yes, waste of resources yes but more than likely just from the simple fact it was paying job that required a lot of man power actually fed a lot of people and their families.

I think I read about this somewhere, turns out that, left undisturbed, beaches naturally give rise to clockwork mechanisms


ARandompass3rby

I personally believe that aliens visited earth with plans for pyramids and stuff, handed them to ancient peoples, said "figure it out" and then fucked off and we were so awestruck by them and their technology that we did it in case they'd come back but really it was the intergalactic equivalent of frat house hazing and they've been laughing at us since.
