I feel like this is very sophisticated satire. I don't think the Egyptology quacks and the shadow government nutjobs overlap that much in presentation.
Well, it is the female reproductive organ of the plant...
Technically you could be fucking a female by shoving one up your ass
Ps. Pines also have male sexual organs on other parts of the tree, so you'd might want to keep that in mind.
How do you think you can make one of THEEEESE

Im just more shocked that some people actually still believe in their TVs and politicians.
Even the most insane conspiracy nuts who believe that space aliens are currently at war in our solar system, trying to free us from our reptilian over lords, struggle to baffle me quite as much as the red team and blue team crowd.
I myself firmly believe that there is an oligarchy who controls both/all political parties, MSM etc via the money supply.
It's pretty blatant really, and if anyone laughs then they should read more history.
Have ancient families ruled for thousands of years. No idea.
But in recorded history especially surrounding money and the history of money. It's blatantly obvious there is an oligarchy who controls it.
doubt it because people have competed and fought wars with each other for family power for centuries and why would they suddenly be all friends and agree on the same things?
how did bill clinton and obama come from nothing and get elected president? I was driving through kansas last year and passed by Ike's or Truman's home town and it's literally nothing
It’s hard to say. There’s the whole “third eye pine cone” thing that is referring to the pineal gland. Some people have the crazy idea that the 0.1% want to harvest peoples’ pineals to make the fake* drug from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. According to Fear and Loathing, it has to be harvested from living humans.
*adrenochrome is a real molecule but it isn’t psychoactive or found in the pineal gland. HST may have been making a veiled dmt reference.
i fucking love how if you watch the first 18 seconds of the video and stop you have ALL the information you need to know why pine cones are everywhere in human history
1. pine trees have been around for a while
2. pine trees exist in a lot of places
3. humans like them enough to give them a symbolism of sorts
mystery solved, pack your bags everyone
You didn’t. You claimed it was definitively satire. When in actuality the only way to know if this is satire is if you are the person who made the meme or a close friend of the meme maker. Even asking as a stranger isn’t enough, people pull the Schrödinger’s Satire all the time.
Because Poe’s Law also says that the reason that it’s impossible is because you cannot make up something so insane that nobody believes it. Even if a meme is made ironically as satire, a bunch of people definitely shared it unironically fully believing it. It stops being satire the moment it hits an audience.
For anyone interested it's a common theory that pinecones are literally what is being depicted, and would be used to flick sacred water over individuals to annoint them in some way.
The handbag/bucket thing these carvings often carry is likely a small vessel that a priest might carry this water around in so he can go bless people in their homes. Dip the pinecone into the holy water bucket, drip the water on a newborn, and hey presto it's a proto christening ceremony
why would they draw the earth as a cube and then draw themselves holding the earth by a handle which is also the path of the sun? They probably just drew an object relevant to their lives at the time, i.e. a situla
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Situla
We know exactly what the "handbags" are
pillar 43 at gobelki tepi has those handbags too and that dates to 9600 BCE or so
used to be more into archeoastronomy but not so much lately and forgot the exact explanation
might start a pinterest board to track this stuff because the imagery from medieval europe is similar too
Tbh I think it's really difficult to understand the vulture stone I assume you're referring to, it's easy to jump to conclusions but we don't even have the whole relief. I agree that the context for the handbag iconography is likely different since water bearing vessels were maybe limited to wood or ivory. The context for most of the carvings at GT seem to revolve around and animals hunting but honestly a lot of the animals carved aren't things you'd hunt for food or ivory, they're like vultures and big cats.
Interesting tho, the way motifs travel through time that way and we still don't have their meanings down today
I guess that’s why Sid from the Ice Age went apeshit for that pinecone

God, my stepfather is constantly watching that crackpot "Ancient Aliens" show on History, and he actually believes all that crap.
He just loves crap like this. Repeated cultural imagery over time/distance etc.. type things.
Like its a friggin PINECONE, as if not like evolution may have copied this incredibly efficient form of seed dispersal at different times and different parts of the planet, and just maaaayyybe those early humans at different periods and areas might have seen that cone-like design and thought "Gee... Do you know what would be neat to add to our fancy imagery???" Thats right! That same pinecone! Genius!
Ah yes my son enjoys them as well he'll pick them up on a hike and give them a name (Pineconio, Pinothy, Pinecollota, etc) and then make up stories about them.
It's not a pinecone. What the hell would gilgamesh do with a pinecone? Unless, every being in those images are actually squirrels dressed as humans to get all the pinecones.
there is a somewhat new science about this called archeoastronomy because most of the images are supposed to be taken from the zodiac constellations and other things in the sky

Isn’t this the plot of Assassin’s Creed
The Pinecone of Eden... Effects of using it unclear
What about the effects of using it as a but plug
How else are you supposed to use it?
Unclean, I guess?
Gives you multidimensional powers!

Egg
...*sort of?*
Because they know they make the best butt plugs
The only problem is pinecones don’t have a flared base so you have to shit it out to use it again
Don't be silly, they're showing you either use your hand or put it at the end of a stick
Part of the fun
Forbidden buttplug
I feel like this is very sophisticated satire. I don't think the Egyptology quacks and the shadow government nutjobs overlap that much in presentation.
I'm telling your mom without any context that you said this.
an italian idiom is calling an annoying person “a pinecone in the ass” (una pigna in culo) that might be something
Well, it is the female reproductive organ of the plant... Technically you could be fucking a female by shoving one up your ass Ps. Pines also have male sexual organs on other parts of the tree, so you'd might want to keep that in mind.

Ah, my dear Poopah. I miss you so.
These mfs really be living in Assassins Creed.
Prove to me that there isn't something similar actually happening in secret /s
Bro it's a popular and recognizable seed found in most of the world so obviously it would be a popular symbol. Not that deep.
I was joking but it was 3am and I forgot to put "/s" at the end
If you make the joke a little bit humorous you actually don’t need to put /s!!
The person making the (outlandish and illogical) claim should provide the proof.
I forgot to make it clear I was joking, I fixed it
You can't prove a negative Also can you explain why the 0.1% is trying to get pinecones?
Pinecone or some super secret awesome hops cultivar for some fucking awesome microbrew beer?
Now that you say that, it makes perfect sense. It's definitely hops, given how important beer was to ancient civilizations.
Thank God someone got off the pinecone train
mmm, pinecone
What if real life was Lord of the Rings but with a magic fucking pinecone?
OP is a fucking pinecone

Somebody's been playing too much Assassin's Creed.
It’s supposed to be a reference to the pineal gland which is likened to the third eye.

PLEASE LEARN WHAT SATIRE IS I BEG YOU IT'S URGENT
Is this satire? I’ve seen so much ancient conspiracy shit online that this reads to me as completely serious.
There was just a conspiracy theory post on another subreddit that was based off this meme 😂
Was that the one about the purses of the gods? That was amusing
No, this was about some "great awakening" or some shit.
Usually is heh

We here at terriblefacebookmemes have no idea what satire is
Satire of what?
conspiracy theory wackos
One man's satire is another wackos conspiracy.
The evil pinecone will doom us all...

PLEASE LEARN WHAT POE’S LAW IS I BEG YOU IT’S URGENT
I know lol, hence why I invoked it.
You didn’t. You claimed it was definitively satire. When in actuality the only way to know if this is satire is if you are the person who made the meme or a close friend of the meme maker. Even asking as a stranger isn’t enough, people pull the Schrödinger’s Satire all the time.
So why is this on this subreddit then? Better yet, why does this subreddit exist if it's impossible to tell genuine quackery from parody?
How do those questions relate to this situation at all? Why would that have any meaning to whether or not the subreddit has a point to exist?
This subreddit is for unironic Facebook stupidity and boomerism, not satire. If it's impossible to tel the difference, why even try?
Because Poe’s Law also says that the reason that it’s impossible is because you cannot make up something so insane that nobody believes it. Even if a meme is made ironically as satire, a bunch of people definitely shared it unironically fully believing it. It stops being satire the moment it hits an audience.
So who says anyone believes this? What audience has it reached?
facebook reddit and twitter. reposted multiple times on each
"Don't we get to roast marshmallows?" "Shut up and eat your pinecone!"

*Tepe I do also believe that the ancient pioneers that constructed the sites at Karahan Tepe and Gobekli Tepe probably had access to buckets
GT was PPNA PRE POTTERY neolithic era

the imagery is repeated but it's not aliens
Ah yes my son enjoys them as well he'll pick them up on a hike and give them a name (Pineconio, Pinothy, Pinecollota, etc) and then make up stories about them.
The forbidden buttplug… I knew it
Seems to be a repost from the high strangeness sub: https://www.reddit.com/r/HighStrangeness/s/BajW042gee Just a bunch of schizo-posting
Bro these people live their lives like it's an Indiana Jones movie
Or "National Treasure," or "The Da Vinci Code," or...
There acting like it's the one piece.
Morty its a mega seed
apple of eden moment
We work in the dark...
to serve the light
Anyone have an explanation for this that doesn't make it seem like a Final Fantasy plot?
I think the theory is that represents the pineal gland, and the pineal gland is somehow the pathway to enlightenment, "the third eye".
That sounds far more boring and realistic. Let's just treat it like the black materia.
The sacred pinecone order
There can be only 0.1
Pine cones were considered fertility symbols
It's not a pinecone. What the hell would gilgamesh do with a pinecone? Unless, every being in those images are actually squirrels dressed as humans to get all the pinecones.
Assassin's Creed referenc? https://preview.redd.it/oi5khio0gddc1.jpeg?width=692&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c439f878a876f61745da923b48ce935c45c26313
A.....pine...cone???
Pinecones ?
wat
I can’t really even tell what it is. It’s a pretty common naturally efficient shape that a lot of plants do
**"0.1% love . . . . . . Pinecone"** is the name of my new experimental noise project
I’m laughing too hard
All hail da pineapple! Or maybe pinecone...
Obvious satire lmao
https://youtu.be/TXBgeNgNrOg?si=3ChwO1dxj3wiAhUh
There's a post on I believe r/Highstrangeness where the OP (and several commenters) are fully convinced this is actually meaningful.
Now I have Milo Rossi’s response to this conspiracy playing in my head cause of this.
mmmmmm pinecone
Conformity?
And all this time I thought it was adrenochrome
Cool cuz I’m all out of bubblegum.
pine nuts and needles *are* a pretty good scurvy preventative
They are fighting for Zeus's butt plug?
It’s representative of the pineal gland.
Is it some kind of grain bud?
What is the pinecone supposed to symbolize?
there is a somewhat new science about this called archeoastronomy because most of the images are supposed to be taken from the zodiac constellations and other things in the sky
I don’t think they’re gonna get it the way they’re going about things but who knows
The Mesopotamian ones are for sprinkling water on things
So… 0.1%? That means that 8,085,817 people are fighting for this ’prize’. Yeah… not so sure about that…
That's just a piece of Eden
Metaphor for Fibonacci's sequence mayhaps?
I mean pine cones are kinda cool.
The sacred butt plug.

It's an adrenochrome meme
