      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

        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.
