This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

it doesn't flood, this is the netherlands

Holy shit this comment fucking killed me. It's so funny.

I understand that a flood in the Netherlands would spell catastrophe but it sounds like the water just can't flood there, because it is the Netherlands, not because of the amazing stuff that they built

Why do you think water evaporates in the mincraft nether?

The water could flood, but it knows it would be met with swift draining of another polder in retaliation.

The sea simply behaves out of sheer intimidation.

It definitely just gets accepted as a fact of life that the Dutch water works just fucking work.
