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

The Dutch, not content with merely driving the sea back, now seek to taunt and humiliate it

OP's image needs to be captioned with your comment and then ever so slightly jpegified. chef's kiss
- I have no idea why you think it would be improved by slight adding of jpeg, but I agree, and I don't know why. It feels like meme salt. Or maybe meme umami
We try our best ;)
- Do you really? Because I hear from Europeans they hate you.
  
  I joke because personally I love the Dutch, but not necessarily Amsterdam. Such a great country.
  
  The Danes have you beat in friendliness though I think.... They're so damn happy I can't understand it.
Not unlike the mighty Beaver, the Dutch have an instinctual drive to bend water to their will
- And much like the beaver, many of our artificial flavors are made from the expressed anal glands of the Dutch.

What the fuck is this place. The hills look like a PS1 game

Not a hill, its a levee
- What happens if it breaks?
The Netherlands is the PS1
I was thinking Sketchfab
Looks like the hill has fur
- 🎵 a cut-out bridge beneath, hills with the furrrr... 🎶

Even the history of this is fascinating. This is the "Moses Bridge", and it's a renovated part of the old dyke system that was used to prevent attacking armies from getting in - because the dykes and levee's had blocked the sea so effectively, they realised they could stop attackers by... flooding them out. Literally.

When it came to renovate this area, they wanted to provide access without denigrating the fact it was an old defensive structure, hence this unique sea-level bridge.

The world loves dutch pragmatism. "You don't want this? Well, fuck it. We just do it that way then. Everyone happy? Fine. Done."

Germans could learn a thing or two...

Is it a "bridge" though?

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

Just drill drain holes in the bottom. Duh! Oh wait...
- I not proud my internal dialog went exactly like that.
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.

Wow. There is very small margin for overflowing here...

Don't worry the Dutch know what they're doing when it comes to water.
There's probably an overflow spillway for the whole pond out of frame.
- Correct. That bridge is meant to flex on water control. This is near a place that is susceptible to river floods.
That just adds to the fun.

So it's the Berlin Wall for fish...

"Fuck you fish" -The Dutch apparently

This looks like something someone would make in Rollercoaster Tycoon

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.

Dutch people really hate water huh

Looks inefficient resourcewise.

It's all water besides the bridge now

And if it floods then....?

it doesn't flood, this is the netherlands
- Holy shit this comment fucking killed me. It's so funny.
  
  I understand that a flood in the Netherlands would spell catastrophe but it sounds like the water just can't flood there, because it is the Netherlands, not because of the amazing stuff that they built
Then you go around, duh.

Is there an underpass for fish and such?

Naw, fish can jump over or pound sand.
No, there's a fish bridge just off scene.

That looks like a neat experience until there's a slight breeze.

How does this work? Wouldn't even a light rainfall cause it to flood in on itself?

The bridge is waterproof and the water is a moat. You can find more info about it here.
- I appreciate that, but even waterproof things can be underwater and moat water can rise. I'm curious about how the drainage works.
It would have drainage on a slope that goes to somewhere even lower.

Now they are just mocking climate change and the rising seas, and asking some eldritch sea gods to punish them.

What's this Minecraft world's seed?

Truman Show IRL

I imagine that the footpath has holes at the bottom to allow any excess water to drain out.

That would just make it flood through those holes.
- Woooosh

Double dam
