Am I the only one who sees a spread butthole and fingers? Why is this save for work?
Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.
You should go to an optometrist, I think you have goatsevision
Constructed on a Friday at 4:50pm
lol if I started that job right after lunch it wouldn’t be done by 5. i don’t know the proportions, but it would be partly because I’m out of shape af and partly a lack of rats asses to give
If it’s stupid and it works, is it stupid afterall?
This is exactly how the bridge on a piece of property I used to live on was built. It lasted 20 years but eventually washed out, while I was there, ofc.
20 years ain’t bad.
Better than what I saw next to the work shed at a large local park…
Wasted tax dollars

When I was checking my notifications I was confused as to why would someone send me a pic of a rock formation in the wild and then the horror hit me… 😱
I wonder if they left the concrete bags out in the rain and they set into bricks. Then decided to use them anyways.
Nope, they wouldn’t stack nicely. They were put on each other while not being rigid yet
What, they needed bag shaped rocks, and they got them.
I think that’s is called a “temporary” solution 😁
Not temporary at all and works quite well. This is a well known, and common, technique.

As an Engineer (although the IT kind not the structural kind), I can tell you confidently that no solution is more permanent than a temporary solution.
This is a legit method for building small things like that where you can use the brick-like shape of the bag when it’s hardened. You just need to make sure the concrete gets soaked all the way through with a hose or rain.
There’s a park on the lake near me that has a retaining wall that steps down into the lake swimming area built this way. The bags are rotted away so they’re just concrete pillows now. They’re been there at least 20 years
That’s exactly how I built a retaining wall at my last house. It had rotting railroad ties that I got rid of and I just stacked bags of concrete before it rained. The concrete set, the bags degraded, and I had a cool retaining wall in my back yard.
In like 10 years when the bags have all eroded away it’ll also leave a neat look formation I’d bet lol
Plus as a bonus a lot of micro plastics straight into nature. Neato!
I hate to break it to you, but concrete isn’t good for the environment either.
Pretty sure all the packaging was just papier
There’s a bit of plastic in there somewhere probably, but the bags are usually burlap. It may also be special paper depending on where you get it from.
Aren’t the bags paper based?
Lots of revetments for water control in South Florida were built like this in the past. The burlap sacks all eroded away and leave an interesting pattern like you mentioned.
A state park near me did this with a giant set of stairs.
Looks neat. Is awful to walk down.
Can’t unsee the goatse
That was my first thought as well
I thought you had misspelled goatee
I tried really hard to see a face with a beard in there
I gave up and instead just googled what a goatse is
I regret. I regret so much
Honestly, it’s refreshing that all these years later goatse has lost none of its power.
You are a mean person. My sweet little brain had not made that connection, now I can’t unsee no matter how much I want to.
Moo hoo ha ha!
Do you mean muahaha?
You just unlocked an old memory for me, of being a teenager with strong opinions on how evil laughter should be spelled. Thanks for that, I guess!
It even has fingers.
I goatse what they did there.
