The Three Gorges Dam, a structure so massive, it slowed the Earth's rotation, increasing the length of the day by 0.06 microseconds when filled.

UNUSUAL China begins building the “New Three Gorges” China has announced the launch of a major new project — the construction of the “Three Gorges” waterway on the Yangtze River, which will include the largest navigation gate in the world. The project, costing 77.2 billion yuan (£11.4 billion), includes a new navigation channel at the Three Gorges Dam — the largest engineering project in the world — as well as an expansion of the dam’s capacity at Gezhouba downstream on the Yangtze. It is designed for vessels of up to 10,000 tons. This is the first major national project to be launched under China’s 14th Five‑Year Plan (2026–2030), and it comes after ten years of research and planning studies. It is being built due to the rising volume of transport along the Yangtze River — China’s main inland shipping artery. Once completed, the annual capacity of the “Three Gorges” will double, exceeding 336 million tons

I think this is dangerous because it accelerates the earth's rotation speed and it could kill us

Testing animated sun in #Roblox #RobloxDevs Will be increasing res from 1024 -> 2048 soon by splitting image, and increasing the samples during the shader render. I will also extend it's length so it loops smoother

It concerns me too buddy. But it didn't happen. Not yet, although the odds are increasing by the day.

Added a "flask of sticky liquid" that shatters when it hits the floor, leaving a puddle. Anyone stepping on it is slowed (the player is slowed too if they step in it). #changed #changedfangame #transfurrun

The fact Raphinha ran the entire length of the pitch and slowed his run for the offside trap being a forward. To make the last ditch tackle isn’t talked about enough

Disgraceful dishonesty by Jim Chalmers. This "three hours for free" only applies to those on "the default market offer". It only applies if you are prepared to use a "smart meter" It only applies in the middle of the day. It will be paid for increasing the cost of electricity at other times of the day. And "under Labor" electricity bills were supposed to go down - but they lied. Labor take the electorate for fools.

China has for the first time successfully bred a third filial generation of Chinese sturgeon entirely through artificial propagation, the China Three Gorges Corporation (CTGC) announced on Thursday, marking a significant stage in the conservation and large-scale breeding of this rare species. Endemic to China, the Chinese sturgeon is a rare migratory fish and one of the most primitive extant species, often described as a "living fossil." (Video via Three Gorges Daily)
