This looks like something someone would make in Rollercoaster Tycoon

Ryantific_theory,

Even knowing it’s real, it feels like one of those photo-realistic concept art pieces, or a weird AI diffusion that screwed up how bridges work.

Entropy, in This bridge goes through the water and not over it, The Netherlands

I feel like that shit floods every time it rains lol. I’m curious how they would drain it.

Anticorp,

Just drill drain holes in the bottom. Duh! Oh wait…

itsJoelle,

I not proud my internal dialog went exactly like that.

  • Stoneykins,

    Congratulations on being the smartest person in this thread so far, no one else has apparently ever heard of a pump before

    heeplr,

    how they would drain it.

    Since a lot of land is below sea level, the Netherlands basically dry pump their country all the time anyway.

    Is it a “bridge” though?

    LEDZeppelin,

    It’s a bridge too far

    buycurious,

    Feels like it’s more of a “trough” than anything else.

    It’s a dam.

    You are dam right.

    DauntingFlamingo,

    I’m going to get a pet beaver and name it God, so I can yell “God, dam it!” with impunity.

    postmateDumbass,

    Double dyke dam?

    PineapplePartisan, in Worlds largest brain bank contains 10000 brains
    @PineapplePartisan@lemmy.world avatar

    I was so interested in this that I called them to ask how much 100g of brain would cost. They said €10. I thought this was a bargain so I said I’d take 100g of Portuguese brain. They said it would cost €10,000. I said “WTF, you said €10”. They responded “Do you know how hard it is to find 100g of Portuguese brain”.

    Life. . . Uh, . . Finds a way.

    clockwork_octopus, in This plant growing on a crack in the middle of a road

    Looks to me like a Manitoba maple. Those fuckers are relentless, will grow absolutely anywhere, and are impossible to kill.

    We have a sapling that rises up every year out of the storm sewer. So tenacious. The root system on that bad boy must be super developed by no.

    civilfolly,

    Make a salt water solution, lots of salt in water. Then use a brush to brush on the solution to every leaf. Keep doing that for several days and it should die off. We did that one summer and it came back the next summer, did the same steps and has not returned since.

    Maple tree!? 🍁

    awatermelonharvester,

    Specifically looks like a red maple Acer rubrun

    Pechente,

    I thought I could be the first to post this but nope. Too many other Germans here.

    @captainjaneway@lemmy.world avatar

    Does our atmosphere magnify things slightly? Seems brighter on Earth

    smallaubergine,

    probably just differences in cameras, lenses and exposure times

    barnsbauer,

    I too was initially wondering that. A comparison with a similar camera to that of the Mars rovers would’ve been more interesting. We have much more capable cams here at home.

    robotrash, in Mars from Earth, and Earth from Mars

    I think we’ve maybe failed as a society if a picture of Earth from Mars is on mildly interesting…

    Kichae,

    I actually think it's a sign of success, at least in one realm. We've been taking pictures of Earth from Mars for decades now. That it's a common enough thing that it could maybe be "mildly interesting" is an achievement.

    robotrash,

    I could see that, I just worry that leads to complacency rather than a broader interest. Of course we don’t have much history for this to grow from yet!

    In order to fail, you first have to achieve something .... and in terms of the wider universe and our planet ... humanity has only just started

    Lumidaub, in Bayer division 'knowingly sold' HIV-infected protein (2003)
    @Lumidaub@feddit.de avatar

    From the title here, I thought this happened in 2003, not that the article is from 2003. Good thing the page itself has a bright yellow text box. Just saying, you might have made this clearer. I also wouldn’t call this “mildly interesting”. I don’t know what it is but there’s nothing “mildly” about it. Fuck.

    Anticorp,

    I also wouldn’t call this “mildly interesting”. I don’t know what it i

    It’s extremely horrifying is what it is and the executives responsible for this decision should be put into prison. This is monstrous. Someone who’s comfortable with this decision does not belong in society. A monetary fine is not adequate, especially since the fines are usually less than the profit they earn through these types of actions. They just consider them business expenses.

    More like mildly infuriating. We have the power to keep the Earth healthy, but we choose not to.
