I live 5 minutes from this. AMA I guess?
The Memphis pyramid was a sports arena and concert venue in the past, eventually the city built another venue that wasn't shaped stupid so it sat abandoned for a decade or so before bass pro bought it.
Are the ducks really unlimited, or is that just economically until the limits of physical reality kick in?
I know you are just being silly, but to answer your question, the point of those groups (ducks unlimited, pheasants forever, whitetail whenever, turkeys tomorrow, raccoons all noons, etc) is to put money into conservation of those animals so that their populations stay great enough that they can be hunted.
So yes, the goal is for the ducks to be unlimited.
Is this a reference from something I don't understand?
Has anyone tried to climb on top of it?
Surprisingly no, not that I'm aware of. If they have, it hasn't made the news.
It's quite steep and smooth in person, it would be very hard to climb. Probably impossible without ropes or mission impossible suction cups.
I've actually been in the pyramid itself. It's actually quite small inside compared to what you'd expect and is literally just a bass pro shop with a fish tank and a bar area with a bunch of tvs and nothing else. They do have comfortable seating though!
Yeah me and wife went two years ago. We weren't impressed. Funny story we were early so we had to wait for the elevator to open so we could go to the viewing deck.
Well as we waited this lady and man who apparently were with a touring company showed up with like 50 people.
They had paid for the tickets and thought they get first priority and cut the line. But at these time there were already 20 of us waiting. But luckily the manager made them get in the back of the line.
The tourist lady was pissed.
I mean there are restaurants and a hotel, though.
I think it’s actually pretty neat. The aquariums are cool. The restaurant at the top has good catfish and a great view. I wanted to sleep a night at the hotel just to see what it’s like. It’s all swamp cabin themed.
The story behind this is actually pretty wild
Here’s an hour and a half long video of a floating green hoodie explaining all of it https://youtu.be/bj-ya2MBgbM?si=ryN8HOwL1BPP87Wx

I was on holiday in the US and saw that thing in the distance while driving. I drove to it. And when I saw it was just a simpel store, I thought to myself: "only in the fucking USA 🦅🦅 yee-haw!!"
One of many shrines to our capitalist overlords and the mighty dollar.
All cultures use pyramids to show the reverence due to their gods, right?

Ryan Hailey is a national treasure.
clearly a landing pad for alien anglers
Archeologists a couple thousand years later Ancient Egyptians couldn't have built this highly advanced structure and transported it all the way to North America. They clearly had help from an advanced civilization.
Didn't know Bass Pro had been around that long.
Big if true

The seventh wonder of the world, for sure.
7th?
Rookie numbers
Why is it depending on how you count?
I didn't do that deep a dive but there are some skyscrapers like the Shard in London that are technically pyramids. So it depends on if you go by height and include those etc.
hehe thx
Can't stop thinking about how your mom is the 8th largest pyramid.
Imagine archaeologists a few thousand years from now finding this
