The Pyramids of Sudan are way more impressive than the ones in Egypt and proof that black people built the Pyramids. It is a Purely African culture.

A large following attracts attention, but doesn't prove contribution value. Reach, engagement, and quality are different signals.
For @TheDAOLabs, the goal isn't to dismiss popularity, but to measure the work behind the numbers.

My manager told me I'm not qualified for promotion because I don't have a Bachelor's degree.
Same day, he promoted his friend that I trained for 6 months who still asks me how to do his job.
I've been at this company 4 years. No promotion. No raise. $18 an hour.
I work 40 hours plus overtime on Saturdays.
Last year, my manager hired his friend.
No experience in our field. Just a Bachelor's degree and good English.
Manager said, "Train him. Show him everything."
I trained him on everything. Our system, our clients, how to write reports, how to fix the copier when it jams, even my own shortcuts I built over 2 years.
For 6 months, every day, I taught him.

A man went to his girlfriend’s house to propose to her after 6 years of dating. 💍❤️
Her family welcomed him warmly, and everything seemed perfect.
Then her younger brother walked into the sitting room, looked at the man, and said:
“Daddy, is this the man Mummy told you not to let inside the house again?” 😭💀
The entire room went silent.
The man slowly turned to look at his girlfriend.
Her father stood up.
And her mother started crying.
But what happened next was the real shock… 👀

My mother called me selfish yesterday because I refused to give my younger brother $15,000.
I've been paying her rent, groceries, electricity, and medical bills for six years.
My brother is 29.
He hasn't kept a job for longer than three months.
Last week, he told Mom he wanted to start a business.
Mom: "Your brother needs your help."
Me: "How much?"
Mom: "$15,000."
Me: "Mom, I don't have that kind of money to give away."
Mom: "But you just bought a new car."
Me: "With money I've been saving for four years."
She sighed.
Mom: "You know your brother hasn't been as fortunate as you."
I was quiet.
Then she said something that hurt.
"Sometimes I wonder why God gave you so much when you don't know how to share."
I ended the call.
Yesterday afternoon, my aunt called.
Aunt: "Why is your mother telling everyone you've abandoned her?"
Me: "WHAT?"
Aunt: "She said you stopped supporting her because she asked you to help your brother."
I explained everything.
My aunt went silent.
Then she asked:
"Wait. You've been paying your mother's rent?"
Me: "For six years."
Aunt: "How much?"
Me: "$1,200 every month."
She started laughing.
Not a happy laugh.
Me: "What's funny?"
Aunt: "Sweetheart, your mother doesn't pay rent."
I froze.
Me: "What?"
Aunt: "Your grandfather left her that house when he died. She's owned it for almost twenty years."
I couldn't speak.
Me: "Then where has my money been going?"
My aunt sighed.
"Call your brother."
I called him immediately.
Me: "Have you been collecting money from Mom?"
Brother: "What money?"
Me: "The money I've been sending for her rent."
He laughed.
Brother: "You mean my mortgage?"
My stomach dropped.
Me: "YOUR WHAT?"
Brother: "Mom's been helping me pay for my house since I bought it."
Me: "You bought a house?"
Brother: "Three years ago."
I sat down.
For three years, I'd been working overtime, skipping holidays, and delaying my own plans because I thought our mother was struggling.
Meanwhile, my brother owned a house.
Me: "Does Mom know you've been using my money?"
He went quiet.
Then he said:
"Look, don't make this a big deal. Mom said you earn more than both of us."
I hung up.
Ten minutes later, my mother called.
Mom: "Your brother says you're causing trouble."
Me: "You've been lying to me for six years."
Mom: "I did what any mother would do to help her child."
Me: "AM I NOT YOUR CHILD TOO?"
She went silent.
Then she said:
"You're the successful one. He needs us more."
I told her I wouldn't be sending another dollar.
She started crying.
"After everything I sacrificed raising you, this is how you repay me?"
I almost apologized.
Until my aunt sent me a photograph.
It was my brother standing outside his new house.
Beside him was my mother, holding a sign that read:
"Congratulations on your SECOND investment property!"
Second.
I'd been struggling to save for my first home.
My brother apparently owned two.
Then my aunt sent one final message:
"Before you confront your mother again, ask her whose name is on the deed to the house she's living in."
Would you cut them off financially or demand every dollar back?

What makes AI powerful? Compute.
Just as oil is measured in barrels, AI computing capacity can be measured in GPU-hours — one GPU running for one hour.
But the real value goes beyond the hardware. Electricity, utilization, and operating costs all influence the price of compute.
That’s why benchmarks matter. With Silicon Data and ICE exploring ways to standardize compute pricing, the market could gain better tools to measure and compare this essential resource.
At @TheDAOLabs, we believe understanding emerging markets is part of preparing for the future.
Through #SocialMining, we can learn, contribute, and grow alongside the technologies shaping tomorrow’s economy.
Compute is becoming an asset. Understanding its value is becoming a skill.

Dear Men,
To every man out there in your 20s and 30s, stop postponing your happiness.
Stop telling yourself, “When I find a woman who accepts me, I will be happy. When I get married, I will be happy. When I have children, I will be happy. When I own a property, buy a car, build a house, travel abroad, or finally have the life I desire, I will be happy. When I have money, I will be happy.”
This mindset has robbed many men of the joy of living, leaving them with regrets they could have avoided.
The truth is you can achieve all these things and even more, yet still feel unhappy, sad, angry and depressed deep inside. You can travel the world, acquire wealth, own properties, build your dream home and have the family you've always wanted, yet still look within yourself and realise that something is missing.
Don't make the mistake of sacrificing your present happiness for a future that isn't guaranteed to bring you the fulfilment you seek.
Learn to appreciate your life while working towards your goals. Find what genuinely makes you happy, nurture it, and give yourself permission to enjoy life along the way.
Marriage, children, money, and material possessions can add value to your life, but don't make them the sole conditions for your happiness.
Stop postponing your happiness. Start living today.
Learn from the mistakes of other men. You deserve to enjoy this journey of life not just the destination.

🚨 Many have drowned because they weren't aware of this; if you're trapped in a sinking car, stay calm.
1. Avoid trying to open the door and wasting your energy.
2. Don't open the window because the incoming water pressure will prevent you from escaping.
3. Pull the headrest from the seat back and then remove it
4. Use the steel tips to break the rear window and be sure to remove the glass..
The car, due to Design and Engineering requirements, is made to float appropriately and the rear window will always stay facing outward.
