How The Netherlands Stopped The Wind 

Good one! Haha, the brits are stuck in it everywhere a bit. In the EU, but use Pounds. Drive on the wrong side. Have the strangest parlament rules. Also they use stones, pounds and tons i believe.

We drive on the correct side

@@FIGHTTHECABLE not in the eu anymore r.i.p. boris jonshon

@Ikreisrond no, your dominant eye is normally the right hand one. this means, on the left its easier to focus on the road.

@@56independent42 well you use the gear shift better with the right hand

And the immigrating ships

to stop the immigrant wind

You damn right we did! Those filthy illegal tornadoes.

Actually, The Netherlands never gets tornados!

Quenten Schoonderwoerd daar zijn we te gierig voor.

+TheFireworkfreak16 me too! 😂

Same XD

+TheFireworkfreak16 I cycled past those things half a year ago and didn't understand what they were doing there until now...

+TheFireworkfreak16 ik ook niet, eigenlijk

well, that is a long known fact...

Well it isn't on a roundabout, so...

Thomas Lynn Do they ?, would you care to explain that air you're breathing now ?.

***** well there go's the 100% then :p

Battusai1984 You're so pedantic :)

Thomas Lynn Having a background in programming i deal with true and false, not "sort of true" ;)

Cadde Debugging "sorry.dll" Your code never returns a false, better to just add a constant variable and skip the redundant code. (Or if you really want this joke to work, use AND instead of OR, true && not true = sort of true)

***** I was very, very happy about the timing. Sheer luck!

***** It was. Hope you liked it though, as you've experienced most of spring during filming and, quite possibly, two thirds of summer. And next time you're over, I won't mind buying you a beer or two.

Google Nutzer Why?

Google Nutzer Interesting. Could and would you please elaborate? EDIT: extra "you" removed

There are multiple assumptions being layered here. Sorry about that. How would you describe your idea government, and how would that work?

In fact, we fixed the abswnce of a major dault line by producing earthquakes of our own from gas mining operations in the north.

in the province of North Brabant their is a fault line. It's a rather interesting one because water seeps out one side, but the other side is lower and covered in clay. But the side it seeps out off is rich in iron so you can find big blocks of deposited iron in certain places. But no worries, we did fix most of the fault by smoothing it out and in some places actually cementing it in place.

+Azivegu That's where I live, used to take a bije across it to school daily.

Quintinohthree haha, leuk. Woon er ook vlakbij, maar heb via mijn opleiding (geologie) ook wat extra aandacht aan besteed. Is best interessant.

+Azivegu Haha, was ook een onderwerp bij aardrijkskunde op de middelbare.

Netherlandistan, home of the orange mohammed.

but do netherland people like talking about the netherlands to people who are listening?

@@jerbid_ we're proud of ourselves

@@walterclements7968 precies!

I like your weed ;)

No

Huntracony Aye

Actually Slartibartfast did

Oh sorry he made the Norwegian one...

Your profile pic suits your comment perfectly

check out CGP video about that topic!

Thats only the part of the Netherlands that is called Holland we have north and south Holland calling the netherlands Holland is the same as calling the United States Dakota

I know but the Netherlands doesn't even has a official tourism site

shooter77 77 I've already seen it :)

I've never heard anyone here in Britain call it Holland. >.>

Same here. I live in the Netherlands and I didn't know that!

Michael Kroes I lived in the town next to it for 20 years, never knew those things were for the wind..

Fennoman Same, haha

Same 😊

Fennoman "And that is something you might not have known".

We kunnen er niet bovenover, we kunnen er niet onderdoor, we moeten er dwars doorheen!

@Kwok Yat Wai r/woooosh

***** He's only half right.

***** Nobody cares.

CoWinkKeyDinkInc You cared enough to respond, and I bet you care enough to respond to this comment too.

***** I thought that maybe you weren't aware.

CoWinkKeyDinkInc See? I told you that you care enough to respond again!

***** you mean dams

ashley beaumont Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.

Ovenman940 Iceland?

ashley beaumont and King of the North

ashley beaumont Dat kan de afsluitdijk helemaal niet, dat zijn de deltawerken.

You mean you don't?

So do i :)

That wall probably directs the wind straight at it... I don't see a problem. Perfect placement.

They're humans, they'll behave badly. The only thing more persistent and creative than a few people is _a lot of people._

LifelessHawk I know this was 8 months ago, but was that supposed to be an insult or a well-meant wish?

yes censorship or lots of hitmen

Concrete dust, Dont breathe this!

Bioniclegoblin I know it’s been 10 months, but I to am curios to know the answer to your question as well...

and our shell and phillips

Hertog jan*

That was good!

I mean we have been time and time again then a disaster happens aderlating get put back like it whas here in the netherlands we built to prevent assistentes and when the happen we make a solutoin to it kinde how you have to think when you are at constaint risk of the country flooding 26% of our land is under sea level

Just like ur mum

I have no comeback, congratulations King KobiGames

well, as long as you live in Europe and you are smart enough to find the good plane ticket offers, travelling it's pretty cheap. I used to go to Madrid (from Italy) once a month, always paid less than 60€ both ways.

@R S It's not amazing. It's our attitude in engineering. We will find a way to do everything, as long as it is practical and can be done somewhat economically. For example the Maasvlakte industrial area is a good example.

Amen

we always win. and if we don't we'll find a way to win.

Well if we lose the battle we become better than before as we crawl up , that would be more acurate.

+Tom Bruggeman I thought when you lose, the country is flooded?

red toasti Nope, I live in the southernmost province, where it would be 100% fine.

Thomas Joosten not only wins, he winds

manzilla48 Sane and effective tax policies which benefit EVERYONE.

We do it for ships but somehow every read to school is in the windiest direction, even when its from your back

@@cas8891 My perception is that the wind somehow changed 180 degrees during the day when I was at school, and that I always had it against.

heh

Spunktastic JismMonkey I read your reply in the voice of Butt-head XD

Mors Coronam I think the shape has more to do with stability and cost-effectiveness than fluid dynamics. I could be totally wrong though and would like to see that aswell.

that is cool, my brother works on a containership that travels between rotterdam (mostly pernis) and antwerpen

lmao beat me to it

Whoops! Good spot - fixed it, thanks.

David Mulder Edit: I love hitting "send" by accident. Anyway, I didn't know about Svappavaara as for the other side well, in some places the wind mostly comes from a single direction and to be honest I don't even remember what my original comment was x.x

There's also the 'If there's no gaps it's gonna fall over' factor. Also it would create a massive windshear on top.

I think the open side of the hemicylinder is aimed at the wind and open on top to catch the ground level wind and smash it into the higher winds to create turbulence to prevent the wind from going over the wall.

And that is our exact way of treating nature: Nice woods! Let build a highway through it, so it splits up in two woods. Double the nature we have and improve infrastructure in one go! There is litterally no nature left in the Netherlands. Sure, we have trees and wild animals and rivers and fields, but there is not 1 single square centimeter that has not been engineered in some way or the other.

@@Gooikes Quite often those woods have been re-connected with bridges and tunnels. Sadly, that project was stopped by the more recent governments.

There isn't enough land let's just make more

Dutch people are the true water and air benders

Let me explain: Wind is that mysterious force that inverts your umbrella. :P

The Dutch are very creative and inventive people. We (Britain) used to be like that- after all we sparked the Worldwide industrial revolution- but then we let left wing politics get in the way and now we're just an offshore colony for Afghans. I hope Netherlands doesn't make the same mistakes.

@@derekstuart5234 we're part of the EU with, due to ignorance, little support for leaving it and while the reigning govt is already messing stuff up I'd say bad chance 💀 In some townships here asylum seekers get privilege in terms of housing while knowing we have a massive housing shortage. They also get welfare and, if I'm not mistaken, free healthcare and don't pay taxes. With their welfare money they visit their "dangerous" homelands for summer vacation. Never mind integration or getting a job either. And they like us as much as they like you (so, at its mildest cultural disrespect). And the EU wants us to take in at least 20.000 more, however I don't know if that still stands with the Ukrainians flooding in now. Not to mention the attack on our history and culture, something the entire west seems to be facing. But the fact of the matter is that we're already second class citizens, the government doesn't really care about us.

@@Ned-nw6ge 100% agree

no the netherlands is just a bunch of engineers stealing air bending and waterbending with engineering

RKH1502 If he doesn't bring up the d/t rules Imma be pissed. Especially the verbs with transitive consonants. *shakes fist at those*

RKH1502 Very soon!

***** super soon

***** LOJBAN! NOW!

And how should they change the canal to be more practical??

The Dutch are slightly more advanced than that ;-)

Same difference, would rather hear from the neanderthals
