My stepfather has lost his shit and gone from accountant to flat earther. This has evolved from glass dome above the earth that caused the Challenger explosion to some new shit. Enter the 2040 Phoenix Event. Every 140 years there’s a cataclysmic event which changes the fundamental nature of the planet. This cycle is so powerful that it actually destroyed the Mayan civilisation. In 2040 it’s due to happen again and the ONLY place on earth that will be safe is Egypt.

But what was the last thing that happened in 1900, you might ask.

The 1908 Tunguska Event in which an asteroid air burst above Siberia and killed a few reindeer herders.

But 1908 is 8 years after the 140 year cycle and 1900 was pretty uneventful, you might say.

      If we bribe an Egyptian government official like $4000, they’ll probably give us a sizeable chunk of desert to build Communism City in.

        Well, if the Libertarians are going to create special economic zones in countries with already weak capital controls, maybe you doing the opposite isn’t a bad idea. Set up shot opposite

        and try to mooch off the inevitable flakes who can’t deal with no roads + frequent bear attacks. It would be a shame if you released additional bears to expedite the process. It would be a shame.
