This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You've forgotten that the sun rotates around the Milky Way the same way the Earth rotates around the sun. So the stars aren't in the same place as they were thousands of years ago. Was this 1 foot off the ancient discrepancy or is that today?

It was off by a foot at the time they were built. They're substantially more inconsistent with the stars now. I thought that was clear in my comment, sorry for the confusion.
