Actually overenginnering is the thing with pre-modern structures, like the bottom bridge here. Survivorship bias played a role, where things they don’t build to last, evidently don’t last to this day, but mostly it’s because they don’t really understand the math behind all of it so they take the most conservative and the tried and tested rules of thumb when doing big structures. This is why big projects back then can take decades to complete.

In the modern day, we design specifically to balance durability and cost, and we are confident of our maths and understanding of material science to use the least amount that does the work for the design life that we choose.

They really should continue the tradition by building a fourth bridge over the current one when the time comes.

Must be why cats bring their catches to their humans, to them we’re just giant kitties in their colony who suck at hunting.

The resemblance is uncanny!

Not same but related: There’s a nerve that goes down from the brain to the arch of the aorta, loops around below it, then goes right back up to innervate parts of the face iirc. In fish, it’s a straight path. And it has been a thing since the first land animals emerge, including in giraffes and other long-necked creatures.

The likes of musk are breeding like crazy though, arguing against a “population collapse”. But idk if the rest of the little musks would be willing to fill in the white collar jobs that made daddy rich in the first place.
