A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
Beavers built a dam in Alberta (850 meters) that is twice the length of the Hoover Dam. It isn't the technical marvel as the Hoover Dam, but one would have to be lying to say it's not impressive.
Extra info: we know it has existed since at least 1975, as it's visible in arial photographs. (Many from space).
So 50+ years for rodents maintaining a project seems pretty neat.
Also over in Europe sometime in the last several years, some beavers completed a dam that had been stalled in the planning and funding phase. The beavers just rolled up and in 24 hours with $0 in funding and built a dam in almost the exact spot that the planners were going to build them anyway.
Yeah after we slaughtered them to near extinction, it sounds like they are making a good comeback. (Fur hats and anal gland perfume have different yearning these days)
We still use anal gland stuff for cheap, faux vanilla flavoring 🤮🤮
This vanilla tastes like ass!
For those curious, here's a great write-up

I can't imagine traveling that terrain any time other than winter; the muskeg is super tough to travel through when it's not frozen and the mosquitoes would suck you dry.
Obviously you’ve never played Timberborn
Came here just to say this. OP need to play timberborn rn
Can't, no fingers and I'm blind
If you can post memes you can play timberborn, I will hear no more excuses!
Dam son
Mainstream archeologists would like you to believe that.
But the truth will come out - it was aliens.
Obligatory:

Obligatory you say:
Like this shirt? GET this shirt!
And get sued by: Buc-ees
Well yeah, it wasn't one beaver, it was hundreds of beavers
Allways scary to see how much the water level has dropped
No but OP's moms beaver really helped
Hurtful
Some truths hurt.
This is my mom
I bet the grip is intense and of course stamina for days and days.
What about infinite beavers?
What's with the weirdly large rolled up flag on top of the building? Or is it something that's been painted?
Dunno for sure but assume they unroll it for special occasions.
Ok, but what about two beavers?
This has "big government" written all over it. You can't convince me otherwise.
What gave it away? A lack of wood, maybe?
Am I tripping or is that the real life version of the damn in GTA V?
This is the Hoover Dam, the GTA V dam is based on Pacoima Dam and Morris Dam
Hm, thanks. Looked very similar with the geography around it
The canyon and the river?
Of course, they built it for the goats!
Pretty sure beavers made humans build it. Who domesticated whom?
Welcome to Utah ...
Is this Hoover Dam ? I only knew it from New Vegas
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes me wish for nuclear winter
The picture is beautiful and captured how big and grandiose the dam is. New Vegas didn't manage to make the dam awe inspiring. There is a rumour of remaking New Vegas and hopefully that they re-skin and enlarge the scale of the dam.
New Vegas and Fallout 3 remasters are confirmed, as well as Obsidian working on another Fallout with Bethesda oversight and Fallout 5 in pre production with production ramping up after Elder Scrolls 6 releases.
No, a vacuum cleaner build this!
Huh-huh, huh. Is this the god dam? Huh-hu, huh, huh-huh.
Can we get some dam nachos at the dam gift shop?
You called?
