[@MrL0wk3y.502]

You had the chance to use the joke, "This 100% is NOT a bridge guys, you can Truss me." Or maybe, "I'm going to Truss my judgement here" etc etc lol. Much love and respect from Southern Indiana, USA. I love the channel brother, it has helped me with my almost 6 years of sobriety from Opiates so thank you for all the amazing and hilarious work that you do man. Your content has more reach and has touched people's lives more so than some others... I appreciate everything that you do Bro-Dingo lol.

[@erikstevenson4370]

Think these not bridges still “resemble” bridges. We need an episode of the ‘cheese it’ solutions that don’t resemble bridges at all. Mods to allow use of all construction materials allowed.

[@anlumo1]

[@lo270396]

So real bridges don’t actually connect to both sides as they have gaps in them for heat expansion… so actually these are just even more accurate bridges 🤯

[@killerbee.13]

Expansion joints are still attached, they just have a degree of freedom. Saying they're 'gaps' is like calling a hinge a gap.

I disagree with the ruling that wood/steel can connect anchor points on both sides to each other Personally, I think none of the structure should be able to connect the entrance to the destination Great video otherwise, I really enjoy adding arbitrary constrains as an additional challenge

[@twiggy2cents2]

At @5:45 thats totally a bridge with an expansion joint at the end. The structure is connecting both pieces of land. By this logic, all bridges with finger expansion joints are not actually bridges then right?

Right! I'm glad you agree with me 🤣

The other day I was watching a friend play a game, I do not know what game it was but they said it was a search and rescue game where you build boats and what not. But anyway, I sujested he built a bridge as his boat, so we spent making and upgreading this bridge, and compared it to some of his past boats and his friends best boats and the bridge was by far the best. Long story short, bridges make great boats.

[@quantum2330]

you know, I can accept that most of these are not a bridge but I feel like the structures that connect to both sides (like arches) supporting roads, with a small gap missing in one of the roads, is kind of a bridge at that point!

What do you mean with „bridges were invented in 1869“?

[@zxuiji]

5:43, I say that IS a bridge since it's connected to both sides via the supports, that makes the supports themselves a bridge

[@martinshoosterman]

I would argue that any piece of building material that connects to different land masses would constitute a bridge, even if there isn't road connecting the 2 masses. For example, at 5:09 that is a bridge because the steel touches both sides.

[@garybenninger1544]

I have an idea but you may have already done it. I started watching your videos relatively recently. Here’s my idea which sort of plays on the catch phrase of building bridges and evaluating bridges that you have on your show. What if you build a bridge which is supported by two cars, one for each support. And then drive that bridge over a bridge.

[@UtopssAKAPJ]

Displate gives you a sponsor and Paddy does all the work 🤣 Paddy is a good boy 😍

[@illac3429]

A draw bridge is two seperate paths unconnected that span a gap, thus you can infer all bridges you created with joint supports are draw bridges, the only way for you to not make it a bridge is for each platform to be supported indipendent from the other structures, any joining would create a flawed but whole bridge.
