"i'Ve ReSeArChEd ThIs, trust me bro"

I haven't researched this, scientists have.

oh yeah, and I suppose that means you've encountered a culture that doesn't understand the meaning of the skull and crossbones, since you're sooo confident they would think it means treasure?

I don't think it's possible for me to communicate with you. You're literally too dense to understand that other people don't have the same cultural background and could interpret symbols differently.

And you're too dense to understand that literally every human being who's ever lived or ever will is capable of drawing the inherent connection between the skull and crossbones and death, due to the inherent relationship between them.

Literally Carl Sagan even proposed using the symbol. Is he too dense to understand too?

[...] the inherent connection between the skull and crossbones and death

YES, WHICH IS CONNECTED TO GRAVES, AND THUS VALUABLES

Which part of this sentence is too complex for you?

Not every grave contains valuables, and ones that do would be marked with more elaborate symbols and ornamentation.

Nobody's tombstone has a skull and crossbones on it, your argument is completely detached from reality

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

There are literally millions of graves without elaborate symbols or ornamentation, but with valuables. What the fuck?

You're imagining a future civilization will be so devolved that they would have less colors than we do? You're not even approaching this from a standpoint of reality, so I'm done here.

Yes, there are indeed many objects in our daily lives with colors that stone-age people would have never seen in their whole lives. I can't even comprehend how this could be a difficult concept for you.
