  • You may joke, but that’s actually part of the legend of the bridge!

    The legend goes that a woman saw her cow grazing on the opposite side of the river.

    To get it back, the devil offered to build a bridge in exchange for a living soul.

    The woman threw a piece of bread across the new bridge and her dog went to eat it. The devil got the dog’s soul 👍

    Poor dog


  • I’ve been to this bridge. It’s the Devil’s Bridge in Wales.

    Here’s another angle, ripped from Wikipedia:

    The river underneath is insanely deep. Pictures do not do it justice just how much further it goes out of the bottom of this frame. You do not get out of there. That is death.

    The bottom-most bridge was built around the 12th century. How the hell they managed to build stuff like this way back then staggers me.






  • He has every idea.

    There’s a saying: “Don’t attribute malice to that which can be adequately explained by incompetence” which means people are more likely to make bad decisions through ignorance rather than hatred.

    But here’s the fact: this is malice. They’re simply relying on the support of their blind followers and for others to let them off the hook with the excuse of incompetency.

    When you look at these decisions through the lens of what gives the decision makers more power and money, then those decisions start to make perfect sense.
