Thats just disappointing. Quality should be job one
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

For those who aren't aware monoliths of unknown origin have been appearing across the world and people are trying to figure where they came from.

We now have mystery monolith number six . The first was Utah, then Romania , pine mountain, California, Chia ( Columbia) Oudehorne(Netherlands), and now the Isle of Wight. All the monoliths seem to be relatively similar and have been compared to the monoliths in 2001 a space odyssey.

I’m at a loss to explain what’s going on here. Is a publicity stunt, a art exhibition, aliens? It’s a mystery. I wonder where the next one will appear.

Your thoughts NSG?

A group of someones have too much time on their hands, and another group of someones who ponder about the meaning of this prank also have too much time on their hands.

Three more monoliths have now appeared. Two monoliths have been found in Poland and another in the UK.

One of the structures was spotted in Poland’s southern city of Kielce at the site of a former quarry turned into a nature reserve. The second was found on the banks of the Vistula river in Warsaw.

Another monolith turned up on the top of Glastonbury Tor, a hill in Glastonbury, England.

A "surreal" metal monolith has appeared on the top of a hill on Dartmoor. The mysterious structure was discovered in the Devon national park near the village of Throwleigh in the UK.

Most likely just a new art trend tbh. People saw the attention the first one(which was likely just some kind of project or statement) and decided to copy it.

I have issue with the word monoliths.

Not monolith, but only with its plural monoliths.

Shouldn't it be polylith instead?

Well no because the word refers to the structure itself, not the number of them.

E: For another example, if I have two triangles, I don’t call them hexangles do I?

No, you call it a hexagon.

This is just like that clown scare of 2016. Something that will never really be fully explained but in a few years we'll all look back and be like "wait that was kind of fucked up why were we all just cool with that?"

You have any proof of that claim?

*ahem* there are earth like planets out there that look identical. so there are trees on those planets, and trees are living things right? so that is proof of alien life but not humanoid

No.

From Greek monolithos, from monos ‘single’ + lithos ‘stone’.

At best are just polygonal tubes.

I am speaking for myself, but i am sure that it was a social experiment to prepare people to Stepehn King's It remake.
