We Couldn't Build Pyramids Today

Text on the meme

"We couldn't build pyramids today 🤔" Walmart, Denison, Iowa 60 W. Williams Dr. Adrian, MI 49221

What it means

A worker in a red hard hat walks beside an enormous tire, then disappears into the gap between its massive treads. The clip cuts to a Walmart in Denison, Iowa, and finally to an ordinary house in Adrian, Michigan, joking that the giant tire is an ancient pyramid-building project that failed and ended up as mundane modern locations. The video uses SLOWEDCORE — “Your Final Message,” a melancholic slowedcore track, to make the absurd reveal feel dramatically tragic and ironic.
