Those links flat out say that they are not generally acknowledged or have widespread acceptance. They are theories based on incomplete evidence.

Yes, we absolutely do. There are lots of other sea fairing cultures that managed to turn inland.

I'm sorry, it's just completely implausible that there were people in America for ten thousand years without making any movement inland. Not only does it not make any sense, all the evidence we do have that maybe they were already on America comes from sites very far inland. Following your logic they made it to New Mexico and then back leaving only a single set of footprints behind. And never left the sea shore again? No.

It can be a great YouTube video, but the evidence is still highly suspect. Nothing has successfully challenged the theory that the Clovis culture were the first humans in America

That's the majority of human migration. We follow water bodies, but not to the exclusion of all growth. By that logic we'd never have made it inland at all.

There's no logical reason for a supposed pre Clovis culture to not go inland. 10,000 years and you really think they stayed 10km from the waves that whole time? It makes no sense. They would be the only group in human history to do that and they'd have needed to do it for millenia

Why go inland is answered by looking to every other group of people on the planet. Which is why there's so much evidence for those older cultures across the earth. It's not a brand new space after 10000 years. There's no reason for every group of people to hug the coast for that long.

Not to mention that the evidence being presented for that theory is primarily very very far inland. Like the new Mexico footprints that are supposedly 23k years old.

Unlikely. The limited evidence presented for pre Clovis cultures in North America has some large margins for error and rely on big assumptions. This evidence is no different, and should be taken on context of it being a big maybe.

One of the biggest problems with the pre Clovis theory is that there should be waaaay more evidence of humans in that time frame like we see everywhere else on the world. It's highly unlikely that humans were in N America for more than 10, 000 years and left barely any trace across two continents.

That fucking sucks. They're definitely going to damage one of the oldest archeological sites in the world and they're just cool with it.

It's taken a long time to get to this point though. I remember watching them all leave and wondering if they'd get any punishment at all.

There are bones of several movies buried there. One of them could have been decent. Way too many studio edits and reshoots

Ant man hit at the wrong time for the MCU. A few years earlier and it would have been dismissed as a one off. Now it's the flag ship of Marvel's failings.

For sure. Until we get a better option to mark spoilers this can work

To what end? The more spread out they are the less engagement they have and the sub flounders. Look at what happened to r/android. Went from being one of the largest communities on lemmy.world to puttering along on their new instance, losing a good chunk of users back to Reddit where everything is simple and in one place.

Because it actually does make a difference an dthats why they started two communities on different instances.

What discourages people to join is not knowing which instance to join. Which is exactly how we got two communities branching off like this.

What discourages people from joining is acting like "federation Yay" is actually a selling point instead of a nuisance that you have to accept. Just look at the downvotes this got in minutes. How is that encouraging?

They should probably join Lemmy.world tbh

Yeah, my first thought too. They clear the airspace around the POTUS anywhere in the world. The skrulls were pretending to be Russians, no way they'd be able to hide from British radar

Dude was making fun of the people he fired on twitter, mocking people who weren't sure they still had a job.

I hope they took every trade secret they had.

I can't use Reddit for most of the day because I don't want to use their app. So all my energy is going towards the alternatives.

The Labyrinth is a decent recommendation. Pan though? Lol

I made a bunch of accounts on a bunch of instances when I first started because I didn't understand how they were connected. Even now, I'd suggest having one or two on the instances you like and decide which ones work best

I like squabbles because it tends to be simpler, less technical than here. They need more users but the combination of the two sites is scratching the Reddit itch.
