An idiot tries to build bridges (Poly Bridge)

[@niko35320]

I learned two things in this vid: -Watching people building bridges is oddly satisfiying -Sophie is not really good at building bridges

[@BeastOrGod]

"Not really good at building bridges" understatement of the year.

You forgot the most important part: Sophie has a dick.

[@zenzonerzz4789]

Triangles are more stable because their sides are less likely to break or something. A square's sides are alot more likely to break cuz not all sides are connected to each other directly if that makes sence. Plus triangles use less materiels so it's more cost effective. Seems school isn't that useless, now i know useless bridge trivia.

[@anthsarin070497]

It's due to the fact the shape of the triangle distributes pressure away from a single point, meaning it's less likely to break under weight

[@rorovevo3114]

So glad these are back

[@DigitalGator]

This video gave me so much joy. Thank you, Sophie! I needed that laughter today.

[@marcwillis236]

11:22 By giving them simultaneous fatal seizures from pure horror at the geometrically-challenged abominations you are creating? Also, triangles with three sides and three joints are strong. Floppy, misshapen things with four sides and four corners that just happen to have been drawn in a triangle for their starting positions are... significantly less strong.

[@jeremywilson3902]

[@AndrewPagel9628]

That speech at the end really got to me. Powerful words Sophie

[@Flameblight]

This has been nearly 20 minutes of the best thing. The perfect timing of the bridge collapses. That one car that kept getting stuck. Your reaction when they somehow work out Just... Perfection.

[@RamblePak64]

One of my greatest fears in life is driving across a bridge just as it decides to collapse, condemning me to a suffocating grave in the depths of the water. Every time that bridge collapsed, I saw myself. Screaming. Screaming to a God named Sophie. And she said... "F**k that guy". And then I wept.

[@angiegamez8600]

I love how there’s always some part of the bridge just flopping around XD

[@Will-rv3tf]

As someone who studied general engineering and architectural technology I can safely say... This is beautiful to watch.

[@chaosmlg]

Genuinely wasn't sure if I was going to like the video, and then I started watching and remembered its valkyrie that's playing and the reactions are just amazing, I couldn't stop being sucked in and laughing. Thanks for making me belly laugh hard, I needed it.

[@Dragonpit]

And it was the CHAT who told her that. She didn't get that from the game.

[@pyrosianheir]

Bahahaha, this was great. Triangles and ESPECIALLY hexagons are the best shapes for construction. They're the stronkest shapes. True story.

Sophie would be an incredibly valuable asset to a team of bridge-building engineers. All they need to do is show her the plans and if she says it looks stable then they know they did it wrong and they have work to do.
