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
EDIT: Linky as tall images don’t do well in web, unless you are an ant.
Has polandball come across to the fediverse yet?
Fucking masterpiece
And it was the result of beautiful team work. Good job team, I hope that meme takes off.
Beautiful

I’m too drunk for that, but I will try at some point. Thank you!
I’m too drunk to meme this chicken
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.
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.
You’re thinking of a caricature from Austin powers.
What the fuck is this place. The hills look like a PS1 game
The Netherlands is the PS1
Not a hill, its a levee
What happens if it breaks?
Amazing music!
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.
How does this work? Wouldn’t even a light rainfall cause it to flood in on itself?
It would have drainage on a slope that goes to somewhere even lower.
It’s all water besides the bridge now
Looks inefficient resourcewise.
Dutch people really hate water huh
Double dam
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.
Is it a “bridge” though?
Feels like it’s more of a “trough” than anything else.
It’s a dam.
You are dam right.
It’s a bridge too far
or too low
Don’t look a bridge horse in the mouth
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.
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
It definitely just gets accepted as a fact of life that the Dutch water works just fucking work.
The water could flood, but it knows it would be met with swift draining of another polder in retaliation.
The sea simply behaves out of sheer intimidation.
Then you go around, duh.
