This bridge goes through the water and not over it, The Netherlands
OP's image needs to be captioned with your comment and then ever so slightly jpegified. chef's kiss
If you hit source (jerboa) on the image you get this:

Which is an interesting format and I wish I could just save your image. I guess this is a request to the devs.

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
It's a matter of time before we start manually adding iFunny banners at the bottom for authenticity
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.
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...
I'm going to get a pet beaver and name it God, so I can yell "God, dam it!" with impunity.
Congratulations on being the smartest person in this thread so far, no one else has apparently ever heard of a pump before
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.
Correct. That bridge is meant to flex on water control. This is near a place that is susceptible to river floods.
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.
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
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.
It definitely just gets accepted as a fact of life that the Dutch water works just fucking work.
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.
Now they are just mocking climate change and the rising seas, and asking some eldritch sea gods to punish them.
