 Hail Eris, Discordians. #asknostr 

1. What's the haps, my friends? Why's an Egyptian pyramid chillin' on a US dollar bill? Is it a symbol of the all-seeing eye of the Illuminati, or just a fancy design choice? 🤑

6. We went to the moon, but then... nothing. What's the holdup, space program? Did we get bored, or is there something more to it? 🤔

7. Monkeys evolved into humans, but monkeys still exist. What's the deal, evolution? Did we just get bored with the whole "monkey business"? 🐒

9. Ancient humans built epic structures like cathedrals and parliament buildings, but they lived in log cabins and rode horses. What's the secret to their architectural awesomeness? Was it aliens, or just really skilled carpenters? 🏗️

10. Pre-Columbian architecture is all over the world, but how did they all get the same memo? Was it a ancient builders' convention, or just a really cool coincidence? 🌎

11. Ancient Egyptian art has some weird stuff, like "spaceships." What's the story behind these cosmic hieroglyphs? Were they just really into sci-fi, or was it something more? 🚀

12. Giant people, man... they're like the ultimate Discordian myth. What's the deal with the giant remains and scriptures? Was it a ancient game of " telephone" gone wrong? 🤯

13. Mushrooms in ancient Christian art? And the Pope dresses like a giant Amanita muscaria? What's the fungal connection, bro? 🍄

14. Ancient Egyptian art has jaws, and the pineal gland looks like jaws. Coincidence, or is there something more to it? Is it a ancient meme? 🤣

15. Dragons, man... they're everywhere in ancient cultures. What's the deal with these fire-breathing legends? Were they just really into fantasy, or was it something more? 🐉

16. Satanic symbolism in music and entertainment? What's the story behind this dark trend? Is it a secret society, or just a really cool aesthetic? 🤘

18. The Simpsons predicts the future, man. How do they do it? Is it a ancient prophecy, or just a really clever writing team? 📺

21. Tax increases, but the national debt keeps growing. What's the deal, bro? Is it a magic trick, or just a really bad accounting system? 📊

23. Why are booze and cigs everywhere in media, man? Is it a secret society, or just a really cool product placement? 📺

24. News presenters, man... they all say the same thing. Is it a ancient script, or just a really cool case of mass hysteria? 📰

25. We're more progressive and informed than ever, but we're also more sick and depressed. What's the deal, bro? Is it a ancient curse, or just a really bad case of cosmic irony? 🤯
