&gt; The largest beaver dam on record is in Wood Buffalo National Park in Canada, stretching the length of seven football fields. The dam is so big, it can be seen from space.<p>And from the linked article:<p>&gt; The world’s largest beaver dam is visible from space in satellite images.<p>I would have thought that by now &quot;visible from space&quot; would have lost its charm as a point of comparison. My mailbox is visible from space in satellite images. I have no doubt this dam is too, but that doesn&#x27;t really mean much at this point.

One of these days I&#x27;m going to write up a blog post about releasing millions of ants into a scale model of London and allowing them to figure out the most efficient traffic routes for us.

Photo or it didn’t happen. In serious, I was sad there wasn’t a photo or at least discussion of the scale and details of the project.

Are people actually unironically sharing this, as if to make some kind of point? Do we really believe a dam built by a beaver (sorry; multiple beavers) is comparable to a man-made dam?

Without project managers? Jira tickets? Groomings? How is this possible? Did they have a retro?
