Bro maybe I'm just stronger than Sisyphus but I feel like I could get the boulder to the top of the hill first try.

Like you should see me do karate chops. I'm super strong and it doens't seem hard depending on the hill.

RIP to Icarus but I could fly even closer to the sun
- Bro if you tied one of my friends to a trolley track and then five of my friends to another and told me to pull a lever which chooses between them I'd beat your ass bro because I will NEVER betray my friends.
- Akshully the Icarus story doesn't make sense. The atmosphere in fact gets colder the higher you go. Are we to believe that Icarus made it through the atmosphere to outer space, and then got close enough to the sun where it would be warm enough to melt the wax, AND THEN defy gravity and fall back to earth instead of being sucked into the sun?
  
  the sun was a lot closer then
  
  You're talking a lot of shit for someone within ⚡ distance
I would simply flatten the hill. Sisyphus never learned to work smarter not harder
- All you have to do is build ramps. It's like making a pyramid. Sisyphus is just pushing it straight up and that's stupid depending on the hill.
  
  Sisyphus builds a gently sloping spiral ramp up the hill, and easily rolls the boulder just to have it roll back down again.
- But pushing the boulder is the point - how else does one expect to get mad gainz?
The real tragedy of Sisyphus is that she's a top but her stone partner will never bottom
- Holy shit this is such a good joke
  
  It felt so fucking good to fit the pieces together lmfao
Hey Sisyphus maybe uhhhhhhhhh don’t stop rolling it before you even reach the top of the hill? Just thinking out loud here
Broo, how the fuck is Pandora's Box even a problem? Just close the lid
- I swear to god if someone replaced every part of a ship and said it was the same ship as before I'd punch them SO many times I hate liers so much
  
  I swear to god
  
  which one?
  
  I absolutely guarantee a fuckload of ancient Greece used this argument.
Clearly skill issue.
Sisyphus is more about hanging out with Bouldy nowadays, who is a great listener. Realized that hill business was whack.
I used to tell a joke about Orpheus and Eurydice, but looking back, it was not a great idea.

If I was Achilles' mother I would just have double dipped him in the river Styx. No part of him would be left untouched by the immortality granting waters on my watch, I can tell you that much.
I imagine there must be something like a runner's high once you get used to pushing up the boulder and it gets easy peasy.
- "One must imagine Sisyphus happy"
  
  One must imagine Sisyphus high on life*
Back in '82, I could throw a pisgkin a quarter mile. I bet I could throw a football over them mountains.
Sisyphus rock stacking struggle session.
I would simply attack the trolley.
I'd slice the apple of Eris into 3 parts and have fucking great time.
- If I was locked in a cave and you cast shadows on the wall to make me question if my perception reflects the fundamental nature of reality I'd beat your ass I hate being locked in a cave.
  
  I would have simply sailed straight back to Ithica.
- I have just absolutely owned Discordianism and thank God.
Sisyphus git gud
Bagholder mentality
uh i missed it could you do it again
I would have to do to it a few times but after that my lats would be so strong I could just get a seccond Boulder to hold the first one in place
Yeah but then the rock just rolls down some other side of the hill.
I'd just ger a bullet proof vest before giving Man the gift of fire
- Prometheus
  
  Yes
