If you breed something for exactly one purpose, all other purposes fall by the wayside and atrophy. Show horses in particular are dumber than rocks, workhorses are slightly better. See also: pugs

the worst part is that horses aren't even the dumbest animals, they're just catastrophically stupid while also being a thousand pounds of muscle.

This entire thread is the proof that humans are the dumbest animals and are perfectly capable of being catastrophically stupid .

About a quarter of the way through filling up, petrol started flowing out from the base of the bowser. There was no way to access it and nobody at the station. It was flowing really fast and chanelling into storm drains. I really hope they had some sort of stormwater quality system. There was nothing we could do so we just drove off from the ignition hazard.

Was there no emergency stop button anywhere?

Also this is the first time that I've heard someone call the pump 'bowser' :mario:

There wasnt as far as we could tell, and it was coming from below so we couldnt redirect it or anything and it was flowing out under the cat and over our shoes. It was a pretty hectic situation so we opted to GTFO.

They would unironically improve the swift training and most states CDL process which is otherwise driving through a parking lot and only hitting a couple cones.

I design dams for a living and the structure in the original video is not the kind of low-head drowning machine dam that you really need to worry about. This particular one is tall enough and shaped such that there is significant downstream velocity at the toe and anything that floats going in there is almost certainly going to get transported downstream away from the hydraulic jump right away. The structures you need to worry about are a lot lower (as measured by the difference between elevation of water upstream and the elevation of the water downstream) and usually with a steeper dropoff from the crest. In that case the downstream velocity is a lot slower and you are a lot less likely to get carried away from the turbulent zone at the toe. This structure here would be significantly more dangerous if something downstream constricted the flow and raised the water level so there was only 5-10 feet of elevation change over the weir.

There are still plenty of hazards associated with what the idiot in the video did, but getting trapped in a roller at the toe of the weir is probably not high on the list.

Hell yeah dam designer has entered the chat

But for real how does one get into that field? Any special certifications or education needed? How often do dams even get designed? I didn't think I was gonna be excited about asking these questions but here we are lol

You go to school for civil engineering then you go work at a place that does dams.


edit: To be clear, civil engineering is generally agreed to be the least exciting and lowest paid form of engineering so plan accordingly.
