Is it bad if I actually liked the original form more?

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

Weeellll tek-nik-uh-lee they might have built a town along the banks of a small river, dammed the valley blocking the river, and then filled in the old riverbed. But either way yeah those guys are dumb for staying there.

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.

'Cause the town came first. Town was built on the original river, which was later dammed for power/water reservoir for said town.

Yikes!

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

[-] dandroid@dandroid.app 3 points 1 year ago

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 1 year ago

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