maybe. accounts like yours are advertised for a few hundred bucks or more. no idea if people buy at that price or not.

more often than not though it's a coordinated scam or astroturfing network without direct person-to-person sales, i would imagine

Fearless_Stab is a Bot account. stole the comment from here: https://old.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/126e6pb/til_a_special_law_in_the_uk_was_created_to_ensure/je8v0ra/

bot accounts farm karma and are then sold and/or used for astroturfing and other scams

report -> spam -> harmful bots and it might get banned eventually

lol what on earth is wrong with adapting archaeological terminology to encourage learning

a "mummy" isn't an alien, it's the preserved remains of a human who once lived and breathed. that distinction is what fascinates people about history.

the weirdest part is the OP chimed in and claimed it's "virtue signaling" as though some librul somewhere is trying not to offend a dead guy lol

edit: thanks for the downvotes, everybody! everyone I've upset should go look up the words "learning," "perspective," and "historical accuracy" in the dictionary and maybe start there :) then learn to stop creating outrage bait just so you can complain about people (in this case, archaeologists and museum officials) being smarter than you! (good luck lol)

why are you so sensitive about what researchers and institutions call preserved human remains?

nobody is trying to save the dead person's feelings or whatever... they're just switching to a more archaeologically correct name for mummified human remains

it's super strange you would jump to the "virtue signaling" dog whistle in regards to a change in academic terminology. it looks like you're desperate for something to be mad about
