    In the photograph I noticed there’s water either side of the road, so I looked it up on a map and it’s such a dumb fucking stretch of road. Of course the sea will take it!

    Why waste money rebuilding it over and over when they could make an inland road that serves the same route?

    Highlighted the road in red for visibility.

    I think I’ve seen worse potholes than that.

    Looks like a landscape from Death Stranding.
