this is whats called a ‘coffer dam’, you basically build some walls, drop them in the water, tie them together, and then pump out the water from your new hole in the water so you can build while staying dry
its oddly not that hard- the flippin ROMANS were able to do it with logs and mud
occasionally particularly devious people would use this to hide treasure or tombs underneath the river so its not only impossible to find but impossible to get to without an engineer division
that last part gives me ideas for campaigns
“Not that hard – the ROMANS were able to do it” – people seriously underestimate how advanced some ancient cultures were and the organized effort it takes to come up with something like this and actually implement it. The Romans had heated floors, glass windows and ceilings that could be rotated to reflect what you were eating (forests for game, sea landscapes for fish). Hell, the Greeks built cameras and moving robots. The Minoans, who lived four thousands years ago and were wiped out by a tsunami three times as powerful as the one which devasted Japan in 2011, had running water and modern toilets. And let’s not get into how China basically invented everything centuries before anyone else.
Bottom line: just because someone was already doing it thousands of years ago, doesn’t mean it’s not very difficult and an extraordinary feat of engineering.
someone: you build how many bridges on a single military campaign…?
y’all ever see a sibling interaction in media and just know….it was written by an only child
It’s weird when sibilings apologize in the movies. Because sibilings only apologize when they did something really really bad, like murder someone or something, otherwise the sibilings just casually start to talk to each other as if nothing had happened.
Siblings in a movie making up: I’m so sorry I hurt you…you’re not only my sister, you’re my best friend.
Siblings in real life making up: Lmao idk if you’re still mad bitch but look at this meme really quick.
Aries moon: HILARIOUS. really impulsive, all the aries moons ik struggle with substance abuse. So loving, childlike soul and it’s honestly so attractive. Temper issues. PS. Not everything revolves around you
Taurus moon: The best friend to enjoy food with because they’ll never judge your personal habits lmao. quite stylish and they always try to look good no matter what the occasion. Can be selfish and judgy at times. They love to hold grudges. Obsessed w/ sex
Gemini moon: SMART ASSES and it’s so cute. sometimes they act like they know more than they do but they’re still very quick thinkers and they have lots of information on various topics, like hey thanks for that absolutely random fact?? nervous and easily overwhelmed/stressed out
Cancer moon: The most thoughtful and loyal people ever. They’re really shy, introverted af and they loooove food, usually awesome home makers!! (@ my mom). Always trying to mother people and help the needy. Insecurity and moodiness are natural traits here. Either really close with their mom or not close at all.
Leo moon: y’all are so fun to be around and adventure with but MY GOD you guys gotta stop wallowing in self pity all the damn time it’s really unattractive and it gets old. Anyways you have really nice hair and you’re funny as fuck. Your emotions fill the room (which can be good and bad)
Virgo moon: this is my moon sign and I’ve only met 2 other people with this placement. Anxiety and nervousness are high. You can be too hard on yourself and you only focus on your negative traits which seems to make them stand out more. Smart from a young age, great chefs, so helpful and always have the best advice. May appear judgy but actualy the most understanding
Libra moon: they crave human interaction and close relationships. Sweetest human beings and they’re SO full of love for other people. self esteem issues usually root from childhood. Can be flaky and emotions are usually oppressed or all over the place. not very trustworthy depending on your relation with them. They love to gossip lmao
Scorpio moon: LOYAL AF. Kinky but can be really insecure or anxious when it comes to actual sex. You guys love to help other people with their problems but when it comes to your own issues/feelings you shut down. Great listeners and very trusting
Sagittarius moon: The sexiest moon sign imo. Your presence is uplifting and you’re so open minded and accepting of everyone. You put on a great show but it’s so hard to actually get to know you. So damn flighty and unloyal, I wish you’d stay a little longer
Capricorn moon: Dry sense of humour, Stubborn and hardheaded but it’s soooo hot. Are you ever NOT sarcastic???? Y’all are so self conscious you really gotta stop beating yourself up because so many people admire you. Some of the most generous people ik are cap moons!
Aquarius moon: You have the rep of being an unemotional alien but you’re actually the most needy people I know??? Emotions are all over the place and you can be kind of narcissistic. You are unique and you have a wide variation of interests. Usually very talented. Old souls
Pisces moons: Gentle and SO kindhearted. There can be dissociative tendencies and sometimes you’re really self destructive. May seem disinterested and and shut down most of the time but they’re not. They care so much more than you know. Substance abuse
Please don’t take any of these personal! These are only people I’ve met and you must understand there are many other factors that make up who they are. x
