Oh no! If it succeeds, we’ll have a bunch of new programming languages

Have you heard of RustScript?

Gave me an idea. I will now be waiting for Rust++

The Tower of Sloppel

The Tower of Babel was probably just a ziggurat that suffered a structural failure and the proto-Hebrew goat herders were like “haha that’s what you get for building cities, assholes.”

Funnily enough, something similar is probably the truth behind the “Exodus” and “Conquest of the Promised Land”
Tl;Dr the Israelites were just rural Canaanites

I think Abraham was originally from Ur, which was near Sumer…
But then again, nothing was written down until the time of Moses, so it really depends on how much you want to trust oral tradition.
The early Hebrew script was directly related to the Phoenician alphabet and Egyptian hieroglyphs though, so it does seem they at least had more than cursory contact with those civilizations

Also, that a city would have done what cities do, attract people from all over, from an array of cultures and languages.
It’s literally an allegorical warning against diversity, and the perils of not hiring an engineer.

I bet you can’t prove that it wasn’t a fully operational space elevator built by the same aliens who built the pyramids that they then sabotaged when they left/integrated into human society in order to prevent humans from becoming a space-fairing civilization and competing with/drawing attention from our advanced intergalactic neighbors.

Are those the same aliens that turned the earth flat?

From what I gathered in non-fiction: they were building a giant 9 story ziggurat that was so big and such culture blend of people that it was named “Babel” which just roughly means “confusion”.
The fictional religious story seems to twist this into some xenophobic shit as always.

It probably just fell down because nobody had made one that big before so they didn’t know that it even could collapse because material science hadn’t even been invented yet.

Shhh, nobody say anything. Nobody try to stop them.

We already have enough programming languages without yawallahod making more to punish us.

We could power it with an internal automated nuclear reactor and flood the access points with deadly radiation for extra security, what would go wrong?

What if we build it on a repurposed oil tanker and park it in the great Pacific Garbage Patch?

Put them in space. You want maximally dumb data center? I’m afraid Musk and Bezos already have you beat.
Advantages:
- No planning department to come in and disrupt your idea with the laws of thermodynamics and silly questions like “Where is all the heat going to go?” and "where will the power come from?"
- No zoning and land use rules
- No taxes
- No one asking “Are jobs are being created in the community?”

Disadvantages:
- Insane radiation hardening that takes so long the certified components are already outdated when you launch them.
- No real possibility for maintenance Kessler-syndrom
- Communication between satellites over RF slower and also causing RF interference with other Sats
Just look at Microsoft dumping Data center containers in the Ocean that was BS as well
