If the dam breaks those villagers are gonna have to learn to fly.

They built a dam for no other reason than to block the river so they could build a city in the river bed.

That's 1000iq city planning

This meme template is gold. I haven't seen it before.

My first thought was why would you put a town at the bottom of a dam like that? And then I remembered that I grew up in a small town under a dam. That dam was on a fault line.

Yikes!

I admire the city planners’ confidence (or ignorance).

[–] dandroid@dandroid.app 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

People always said that the dam could support double the most severe earthquake that the fault could produce, but who knows how true that is.

[–] AusatKeyboardPremi@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Exactly. No matter how good or bad the odds are, that statement isn’t instilling confidence.
