  My read is:

  1. Someone posts an image with pyramids and the caption, “How tf did they build this without any [something]”
  2. Someone takes the image from 1, pastes some Marlboro reds over whatever [something] was there before, presumably to express that cigarettes are a required ritual in the construction trade
  3. Someone makes the camel comment, taking the piss out of 2
  4. Someone screenshots 3 and posts it here

    That’s even more damning then, if the main pop culture connection between pyramids and cigarettes was already Camels

  The joke is

  A: making fun of people who think ancient people couldn’t have built the pyramids

  B: making fun of cigarettes via the ridiculous implication that they would be necessary for the task

  The original was the word “airpods,” then the Marlboro one, then the following version: 78c

  Then someone posted just the Marlboro edit and another person in know of the camel joke repeated the punchline in the comments.

  These kind of memes honestly feel like Malboro found a way to circumvent advertising rules, so I assume the joke’s on all of us, I guess.

  Isn’t camels is wrong in the first place? They used water to transport the stones.

    idk I wasn’t there. Maybe the camels carried their lunch boxes.

    The water theory is absolutely improbable.

  I mean it’s possible that before the meme creator put the picture of the Marlborough Reds over the screenshot of the post, it said something like “DeWalt” or “Makita”.

    Howd they do that without malberrow red. That’s a joke wrapped up entirely in that image

    It’s not a joke though. There’s no connection whatsoever between Marlboros and any topic even tangentially related to construction or pyramids. It’s a complete non-sequitur. It only makes sense if you’re about to get on as your alt to fake a witty comeback.

    In the oncoming climate wars your thick head can help you rise through the ranks of a rag tag resistance group

    What was the point of that? You just like being unpleasant to people online? Read Rule 1.

      Do construction workers not smoke where you come from? Basically all of them do here. It’s free breaks,

      Ah sorry was meant as a joke from your original comment. Meant no harm, sorry.
