TranscriptionTwo Reddit comments, the second a reply to the first.

Copper is so recyclable that stuff that was mined pre BC is being used today.

So what you're telling me is that when the copper head in my old 78 Volvo cracked when it blew the head gasket it was actually Ea-nāṣir's fault again? That son of a bitch.

Then a picture of a man pleading, with the caption

He can't keep getting away with it!

The concept of "Before Christ" only arrived "After Christ".

One cannot have a concept of a negative who's positive has not yet been made known. The absence of Christ could not have been conceptualized before the presence of Christ.

Edit for clarity:

In other words, Pre-BC is still just BC because to be before the concept of BC one must only come before C.
