Funky See Funky Do posted:It got hit by a container ship. I'm going through my head for a list of things human kind has built that could be hit by a container ship and survive - Maybe the pyramids? no, i dont think the pyramids would survive a direct hit by a container ship either. maybe a chunk would remain standing but i dont think it'd be pyramid-shaped anymore but, i could be wrong. it's never been tested, and there's only one way to know for sure. we probably should also test various other large manmade structures this way, at least enough to make a season of a new reality show. versailles, the great wall, the bass pro shop pyramid, etc.

Deformed Church posted:The Giza plateau is 60m above sea level, I think the damage by the container ship will be dwarfed by the damage done by facilitating the experiment in the first place. the ship could be dropped from above, the hard part is getting all those cargo containers to stay on it as it falls Platystemon posted:The Great Pyramid outweighs that ship by a factor of fifty. sure, buddy. prove it.* $20 says your wrong. *you know what i mean, prove it with an actual ship and an actual pyramid, don't just show me some equations or whatever

this should probably be required reading for the engineers building the replacement bridge:

frumpykvetchbot posted:maybe if we made things simpler and fabricated them locally out of stuff that could be sourced nearby well, i hear shipping containers are a popular new building material, and sources are suggesting there's an ample supply of this local resource very nearby to where a new bridge will need to be built.

SLICK GOKU BABY posted:But, people drive around the gates to cross train tracks all the time. Just having a sign saying bridge closed is unlikely to deter quite a few motorists. people drive around train gates because they think they can beat the train. which is stupid, but a different kind of stupid than thinking you can do anything about a huge bridge being completely gone edit: sorry i thought we were talking about the people still trying to go there not the people on the bridge before it collapsed

hunter biden's laptop had been smuggled out of dc and had made its way into one of the shipping containers where it was due to be airlifted out by a chinese stealth drone in exchange for a much needed upgrade to joe biden's ai/cgi tv persona. trump's intelligence operatives got wind of this and had positioned themselves on the bridge ready to capture footage of the deal, but a Foreign pilot hired via DEI practices got wind of this from Baltimore's DEI mayor and intentionally crashed the ship, sending the evidence - and joe's new chip - into the water. and now the race is on..

yes this is exactly like the civil war, several of my friends and family from texas and virgina have texted me to say that they are honor and duty bound to take up arms in defense their newly independent confederation. its just like when the south had to secede in 1860 because the liberals crashed a merry mac into their monitor.

cruft posted:I don't know how I'd been on the Internet for this long without fitting in that puzzle piece. It's just mobs forming, on a bigger scale, but at a slower speed. Seems obvious now. slower? if anything the internet has massively sped up the formation of all kinds of mobs as well as greatly increased the number of reasons they form in the first place. like when people first discovered that the internet could be used to quickly summon huge mobs they would happen for no reason other than just for the hell of it and people thought it was just a goofy meme thing

i like how the note only challenges the specific claim about the number of pilots and not the reams of bullshit about being a cyber attack on the mason-dixon line or whatever she's trying to say also, there was a similar incident in china not to long ago, with a barge taking out the middle of a bridge in a fairly busy shipping area. is this the new face of war? no more soldiers, no more bombs, just slowly lobbing huge boats at each others infrastructure

Shannow posted:I'm seeing the conspiracy loons now noticing the eclectics shorting along the top screaming that they can see explosive charges being detonated along the top of the bridge, as if it would have needed assistance in collapsing after the main support was hosed. laughable. i am actually an expert in specifically this type of boat-bridge collision as well as mason-dixonian shipping logistics and i assure you, it would be categorically impossible for an "accident" of this type to occur without the involvement of demons and the lizard people.

i dont think its any of governments business to be building bridges, i think anyone who wants to get from one side of the bay to the other should take the responsibility to build their own individual bridge and handle its upkeep. maybe a bridge could be shared between family members but thats about it. or perhaps companies like mcdonalds and starbucks on opposing banks could build bridges that their customers are allowed to use if they show a proof of purchase. by 2030 we could be arguing over whether to take the dunkin donuts bridge or the pizza hut bridge because dunkin donuts is notoriously behind on their upkeep and the bridge is unsafe but it still comes with a free box of munchkins when you get to the other side

The Alchemist posted:I dont think there was a bridge to begin with, the whole thing smells like scam the FBI has so far determined that there are in fact pieces of a bridge on the boat, but they haven't figured out how they got there, or which bridge it is.. if any. it's possible those are just some bridge parts that coincidentally were being carried in containers and which spilled out when the boat had it's accident. we'll know more once they figure out what the boat actually hit. the confusing part is that the map shows nothing there, so what could it be?
