IS THAT A JAGUAR XJ 220?!?!?


miamistu

Perfect for caning past Stonehenge at 200mph.


Mesromith

You’ll have to be on the grass for that


Tarquinandpaliquin

Yeah you'd have to be on the grass to cane past at 20mph in my experience.


wise_balls

Why go so slowly? I believe it can do up to 220mph.

Guys i parked my squid on modern road instead of natural chalk and it wont turn on. Any idea of what i can do?


ResponsiblyCoat

You gotta stimulate the nipples


NeriTina

Hi guys, I also have question. Where do I find squid nipples? I need to know so I can turn parked squid on.

I did some research, [hope this helps](https://drawception.com/panel/drawing/hx4z3336/man-with-squids-for-nipples/)

necrolich66

Octopuses do not have any bones with the exception of their beaks. so if you are responsible and depraved enough to be literally the life support of your 8 limbed friend, you can debeak it like how you'd declaw a cat and then push your member into it's feed chute. You can then let it subsist on your baby batter. The Octopus is smart. Very smart. It will learn that without it's beak, it cannot feed on anything else but your human seed that has to be milked from you. Every morning, you will feel your clothes slide off and a damp weight on your lower half. The sensation creeps up your body until most of the jiggly mass has enveloped the entire length. It will start pumping as fast as it can for it is hungry. The animal gyrates its empty stomach and the folds of its brain rubbing on your glans, begging for nutrition. You climax and give the marine creature's breakfast. The pumping slows down but doesn't stop to milk out the last few drops of its meal. Looking into its yellow animal eyes, it looks back with a thousand-yard stare. This will be routine for all of its meals for the rest of it's 3-5 years on this god forsaken planet.

Did you know that in terms of male human and female Pokémon breeding, Vaporeon is the most compatible Pokémon for humans? Not only are they in the field egg group, which is mostly comprised of mammals, Vaporeon are an average of 3”03’ tall and 63.9 pounds, this means they’re large enough to be able handle human dicks, and with their impressive Base Stats for HP and access to Acid Armor, you can be rough with one. Due to their mostly water based biology, there’s no doubt in my mind that an aroused Vaporeon would be incredibly wet, so wet that you could easily have sex with one for hours without getting sore. They can also learn the moves Attract, Baby-Doll Eyes, Captivate, Charm, and Tail Whip, along with not having fur to hide nipples, so it’d be incredibly easy for one to get you in the mood. With their abilities Water Absorb and Hydration, they can easily recover from fatigue with enough water. No other Pokémon comes close to this level of compatibility. Also, fun fact, if you pull out enough, you can make your Vaporeon turn white. Vaporeon is literally built for human dick. Ungodly defense stat+high HP pool+Acid Armor means it can take cock all day, all shapes and sizes and still come for more

It’s the road that goes directly past Stonehenge so has probably been used for thousands of years.

StrangelyBrown

For Americans who know John Oliver and may or may not know his old podcast with Andy Zaltzman, they praised this road very highly. "What a road! Personally I like to stand in the middle of Stonehenge and look at the A303..."


[deleted]

Is this an actual slice or does it sample a part of each section?


blacktreefalls

Archaeologist here, I can’t imagine this being an actual sample of the road unless it’s been heavily restored for curation. The boundaries are too straight and distinct. Not enough compaction is present overall- time and weight will destroy all. I would also expect more color leaching overall. And that buried turbine line looks too rich and organic. Edits: *turf line.


SOwED

4 Hours before your comment: >I can't imagine it's an actual core sample from the road, no. You: >I can’t imagine this being an actual sample of the road I can't imagine someone plagiarizing a reddit comment in the same exact thread but hey, maybe that's a limitation on my end.


[deleted]

They did provide different information, presented from their pov as an archaeologist and the comment complements the previous one. Did they use similar wording in their opening sentence? Yes, but given the context it seems fine surely?


SOwED

Seems like you don't know what plagiarism is Edit: wow replying then blocking me, the coward's move.


DanTheMan_117

That's not what plagiarism is.


ameilih

that’s not what plagiarism is, especially over a non unique comment, turned unique and provided more specialised information over the topic at hand, but oh well how dare they educate us


UtterlyRedditculous

Woah how dare you use the same phrase as the reply from just 15 minutes ago! /s

Seems to me like you were right, it’s a limitation on your end.


blacktreefalls

Hey, just my two cents given my professional experience and personal opinion. Would it make you feel better if I started with “I agree with the comment above, also can’t imagine that it’s a real core, and here’s why-“? Okey doke, there it is.

Be real, you read that other comment first

bremsspuren

I can't imagine it's an actual core sample from the road, no. The modern road [will have several layers under the asphalt and be deeper than that whole stack](https://engineeringdiscoveries.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Untitled-1d.jpg). No idea about the other layers.


Eranaut

Ok but that's a picture of Silverstone (Maggots and Becketts) and I'd expect a dedicated racetrack to have a different layering of road material than a standard highway


fishandfosters

Those are American construction workers and there is an american flag on the side of the machinery. Definately not a pic of the UK but does look a lot like Silversone though.


rustyiesty

COTA Esses, which were modelled on the Silverstone section


Jonesbro

Probably not. It's likely sections got removed and replaced over time. It would be weird to keep building on top until the road is 2' higher than the ground


WormLivesMatter

Idk of all the things hinting this is just an example of the surface conditions of the road at the time, depth is not one of them. There are cities that have basements that used to be first floor parts and others that are known to be dozens of feet higher than a couple hundred years ago. You don’t really rip up road that deep. Maybe 6 inches to 2 feet down. But this image is misleading. Each layer is probably multiple Roman roads and multiple medical roads that are just added on. So when you redo the road you take away some of the top but not all of it. Plus natural soil deposition will bury something in a decade far enough down they may you won’t know it’s there. In our area I uncovered a stone walkway that’s probably ten years old and it was 7 inches down.


maxboondoggle

In Vienna I remember seeing a section of the road that had a fence around it and 20’ below was the old road from Roman times. It blew my mind.


_jk_

iirc we have no real evidence of roman roads being built on top of bronze age tracks so i highly doubt it


quickblur

Super cool to see the history laid out like this


[deleted]

Actual cool guide!


Book_Nerd_1980

Is this why the UK hasn’t sunk into the sea? Just keep putting new layers on top? /s


TheMarksmanHedgehog

You say that, but... You're almost not wrong.

I wonder if a Jaguar XJ220 has ever actually been driven on the A303?


jaguar-xj-220-fan

yes.


Omelooo

Username checks out


LotsOfButtons

Most popular route from the majority of the country to the West Country so doubtless.


scuderia91

Majority of the south maybe. A lot of the northern traffic would come down the m5


Montjo17

Quite a few XJ220 owners in London I'd guess and they'd definitely be taking the A303

What business did squid have to attend to in the city back then?


FlyingCow343

i know we're all supposed to hate the uk on reddit but i think its so cool, having so much history just around right next to you is awesome


teddy_002

i live near this road and would drive on it every day to school. it’s not something you think about often, but when you remember that it was literally romans who built a lot of your roads, it is very cool.


FlyingCow343

I live near one of the oldest roads in the uk, to be able to pop out and walk the same road that people have been walking on for over 5000 years is wild


Nomapos

There's a fucking Roman theater in the middle of my home city, right next to the city center. It's built into the hill with the medieval castle, with a cathedral around the corner. I'm a history enthusiast and straight up studied Latin and shit in college, and I still had trouble noticing the damn thing was *there* when walking past it.


Eyre_Guitar_Solo

That was an interesting feature in Susan Cooper’s *The Dark Is Rising* series—the concept of “oldways” were special magic is possible because the paths reflect ancient design.


sprazcrumbler

This road also goes right past Stonehenge too if you're interested in that. It's a little annoying actually because it causes traffic when people slow down to get a good look.


FearAzrael

Wut


[deleted]

>having so much history just around right next to you is awesome In Australia, we have history all around us too, [it's just that most people don't care](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-10-12/nt-court-convicts-nsw-men-for-uluru-cave-art-damage-handprints/102968566).

flopsychops

This is the road that goes past Stonehenge.


k33ba

I had the exact same feeling, I know I've seen it in person and can't think where. Only place I've visited that I think would have this was the Jorvik centre in York, thinking maybe they had same display (for a different road maybe?)

gtzgoldcrgo

Squid loves natural chalk


LoveThieves

Is it me or does it look like Romans did a better job of getting things done than that Turnpike the British did? Also including the current Gaza situation as well.


Mal-De-Terre

Romans didn't have big lorries to deal with, and they also had no mercy. Nice try.


WizardryAwaits

Turnpike roads weren't used by lorries, they were built in the 18th and 19th century and used by horse and cart. But he's talking nonsense or stirring because the turnpike doesn't look any better or worse than the Roman road to me. It was not a modern tarmac road, and they were not built by the government but by private individuals and companies, but they were better than what came before, that was the whole point of them - to fix roads that were becoming impassable.


Vivalo

I want to see the giant squid constructed roads.


_Dreamer_Deceiver_

Nice to know squid travelled the chalk road


EtyuInsiders

England is mostly chalk


haversack77

The far south is, the rest isn't.


dwair

Go to the far south and it's all granite.


Solecism_Allure

Yep. Can see that transition of chalk to granite on the coastal path. Beautiful scenery.


ProgandyPatrick

Wild to see that humans have been in England since the Bronze Age!


Existing_Treacle_814

Been there longer than that, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skara_Brae Stone Age village in the Scottish isles that’s amazingly preserved.


Tarquinandpaliquin

They were there on and off before, however when ice ages happened they'd migrate South. Something which has since ingrained in our DNA. Sorry Spain, they are not our best either. Bronze age is just when the lot who didn't arrive came.


terry_shogun

"Turnpike" is an old-fashioned word here, since nearly all British roads are toll-free nowadays. This wasn't the case in the 18th and 19th centuries, however.

driverofracecars

It blows my mind to think of all the lives that have travelled this particular road.


sarahc13289

I live a stones throw from this road and travel along it most days and had this exact thought while driving along it this morning. I’ve heard that it follows an ancient reindeer migratory track and I was just thinking of that all those thousands of years ago and what the landscape would have looked like then.
