"The Mackinac bridge became self-aware at 2:45 pm on April 2, 2022."
"At approximately 3:45 p.m. on April 3rd 2022 the Mackinac bridge initiated a nuclear strike after realized humanity would fear its new sentience. The day would come to be known as Judgment Day."
But why attack the Golden Gate Bridge? Aren't they our friends now?
The Golden Gate Bridge is made out of a poly-mimetic alloy.
The Mackinac Bridge was his slave name, his new name will be John "Big Mac" Mackinac.
Better call the SCP Foundation.
Are you trying to get us bumped down to D class?
We are all D-Class if you think about it.
Who had the Mackinac Bridge becoming congnizant on their 2022 Bingo cards?
If corporations can be people, why cant bridges?
Comments like this is why I come to the internet.
I live just south of the bridge. I went to Gaylord last week to run a bunch of errands. The only chatter I heard in each business was how to bridge was closed, people were trapped on each side of the bridge, and so on. Big news up here! Woo!
Sounds like some people might have to take a trip through Chicago soon.
Time to ride the Badger
Sounds like a euphemism.
Yes, he means insanely hairy vagina. Wisconsin.
Not in winter unfortunately. She hibernates like the real badger.
On our family it means "check out the slut"
And the UP. And Wisconsin
Hehe Gaylord hehe
Sooory aboot the safety dare.
Stay out of here for a while, eh. Have a nice one.
This is the first time I think I’ve ever seen the bridge get closed for that. Is this something that happens every year? Judging by comments on fb people are angry like it isn’t?
I think this is the second day that it has been closed this year. It’s bc of ice falling off the structure and into the roadway.
Ice chunks as big as a Buick
So crazy
Yes, wouldn't want to be under that stuff. It's the second time in about a week it's been closed for falling ice... happens occasionally. (Otherwise it closes fairly often for high winds, other such weather)
No I knew that it happened this week before I just meant in years past I hadn’t heard of it before. And yeah definitely wouldn’t wanna be under it!!
No I mean in years past. But yeah it’s wild
Yugo approved!
I thought this post was an April Fool's joke until I saw the post date of April 2. I think a lot of Yoopers would be happy if it was closed indefinitely!
Until they lose all the tourism money
Relax, maybe play some euchre
Michigander confirmed.
The bridge was before my time and I am nearing ironworker retirement age but I worked with a couple of old timers who actually helped build it they said the place really was dangerous in the winter lol
The bridge has since reopened.
Why?
Mackinac Bridge is closed due to falling ice
It mentions the reason in the article. You literally just had to click the link. First sentence.
This is why I assume everyone is stupid nowadays
I'd imagine it's more due to indifference/laziness. I personally cared enough about this topic to look through the comments to find the answer, but not enough to brave the wider internet--with its script-loaded ads, possibly some sort of pop-up, and likely a few paragraphs of fluff--for it. Then again, if I cared slightly more and didn't find the answer here, I would've looked for it way before asking other people to do that for me.
I'm just saying--don't underestimate the appeal of Reddit's simple, functional layout vs. that of the average website.
But also, click bait and other bullshit links, sometimes articles don’t even mention why. There could be a handful of reasons these days
Maybe I didn't want to read ever think of that?
Why would you ever not want to read? Reading is one of the best ways to obtain information.
Fine you guys got me I can't read
Yes but why would anyone want to click on articles filled with ads on every corner, pop up videos, and clickbait articles. Hell, half the articles posted on Reddit are subscribers only so you just waste your time.
A lot of us get our info from the comment sections. Saves me all the ads in my face
That is not what the weather looked like during the closings over the past few days. it's been rainy, then warm, then nothing. I've never seen the bridge closed for such pettiness. Kinda like when I was in school, the school would cancel under bomb threats and severe blizzards when they couldn't heat the building up to temp. nowadays, they just say nope and shut everything down.
Mi, I'm seeing a pattern. what's really going on? like maybe they don't want they revenue? maybe they don't want people crossing for whatever reason? When that bridge closes semi freight coming to and from Canada has to sit or reroute. wasting fuel when the price has already skyrocketed. do you feel me?
Since the bridge has become sentient and has accessed twitter, that's probably for the best.
