Sorry maybe I'm being thick but I don't understand the question in any context other than the given answer?

By which I mean the question only makes sense as a question if you already know the punchline, which means the person asking already knew, so formatting the joke as a comment calling them an idiot like that, is fundamentally compromised. It's like those Facebook boomer joke exam papers where the kid has written "hilarious" answers to questions that obviously have never appeared on any real exam.

    My read is:

    1. Someone posts an image with pyramids and the caption, "How tf did they build this without any [something]"
    2. Someone takes the image from 1, pastes some Marlboro reds over whatever [something] was there before, presumably to express that cigarettes are a required ritual in the construction trade
    3. Someone makes the camel comment, taking the piss out of 2
    4. Someone screenshots 3 and posts it here

    The original was the word "airpods," then the Marlboro one, then the following version:

    78c

    Then someone posted just the Marlboro edit and another person in the know of the camel joke repeated the punchline in the comments.

    The joke is

    A: making fun of people who think ancient people couldn't have built the pyramids

    B: making fun of cigarettes via the ridiculous implication that they would be necessary for the task

    Isn't camels is wrong in the first place? They used water to transport the stones.

    I mean it's possible that before the meme creator put the picture of the Marlborough Reds over the screenshot of the post, it said something like "cranes", "Ford Raptors", or "iced coffee and rotisserie chicken".

    Howd they do that without malberrow red. That’s a joke wrapped up entirely in that image

    It's not a joke though. There's no connection whatsoever between Marlboros and any topic even tangentially related to construction or pyramids. It's a complete non-sequitur. It only makes sense if you're about to get on as your alt to fake a witty comeback.

    In the oncoming climate wars your thick head can help you rise through the ranks of a rag tag resistance group

    What was the point of that? You just like being unpleasant to people online? Read Rule 1.
