The most inefficient system invented by mankind? Bro have you seen how they built the pyramids?

the pyramids were pretty damn efficient, the fact that such a big accomplishment can be done with primitive tools and math is like the whole reason why they're important

Efficient in terms of mechanics for the time.

Pretty damn inefficient considering the number of slaves who died for it. Wack that I get downvotes for that one lol
