Critical CupcakeIn Utrecht, NL people have been falling into a pond because duckweed has been stressed by the cold and turned it red an looks exactly like a cycle path.
🇪🇺 Paul Schoonhoven 🍋🍉@CriticalCupcake nice colour..🤣🤣
Daniela Pagenstecher 🇺🇦 🚴♂️ 📚@CriticalCupcake Radfahrer:innen aufgepasst! 😅
Duncan Blues@Daniel_Pagenstecher @CriticalCupcake könnte in Deutschland nicht passieren. Hier gibt es keine Radwege die so breit wären. Hier fällt keiner darauf rein. 😅

Und er hat keine Schlaglöcher!

Die ideale Falschparker-Lösung:nur mal kurz wieder auftauchen.

Orion Edwards@CriticalCupcake I feel bad about it, but I find this hilarious 🤣
twilwel antifascist@CriticalCupcake hahaahaaaHaaaaa 🤣 Sorry, maar dit is zo grappig 🥲
nahoernsiemal@CriticalCupcake The two guys standing on the sidewalk seem unimpressed.
@Hilde@CriticalCupcake Zumindest das kann in Deutschland ja nicht passieren. Da ist jedem sofort klar, dass so ein breiter roter Streifen ganz bestimmt kein Radweg sein kann. 😑
Christopher@Hilde @CriticalCupcake Da wär sicherlich schon das ein oder andere Auto drin verschwunden.
squeakyearsSeeing that guy having fallen in the water makes me wonder what the most dangerous depth of water is to fall into.
I suspect there's a local maximum around 15-20 cm, where it's not deep enough to break your fall much, but is definitely deep enough to easily drown in if you can't stand up. 🤔
KimV@squeakyears @CriticalCupcake The low temperatures don’t help right now. Someone reportedly fell in and got such a shock it triggered an epileptic seizure.
RamenCatholic 🐢🌈@CriticalCupcake the duckweed is evolving to lure humans into the pond; this is not the apocalypse I expected.
@pineywoozle ‘s #3WordNote
Jeff Heilveil@nigronia @CriticalCupcake that would be an awesome 'Doctor Who' stand-alone episode.
Iwillyeah@CriticalCupcake Even now after you've told me about it, I still think I should be able to walk on it. My brain can't register it as dangerous.
「 Fristi 」@CriticalCupcake didn't they fall into it before too when it was green and people thought it was a patch of grass
ℙ𝕦𝕞𝕦𝕔𝕜𝕖𝕝 𝕕𝕖𝕣 𝟚´𝕥𝕖Die betreten jetzt auch keinen Radweg mehr zu Fuß!😉 😁 😁
DanielRigal@CriticalCupcake Red weed? I'd be on the look out for Martian war machines if I was them.
@CriticalCupcake yup I'd fall for this
Gabriel Pettier@CriticalCupcake ouch, it's *exactly* the right color, and why is the crossing sign *in* the canal? really easy mistake to make. 😬
Gail Shaw@tshirtman @CriticalCupcake
It's not a crossing sign. It's a 'you're about to step into water' sign.

@GilaMonster @CriticalCupcake oh right, i guess i would have ended up in the canal for lack of attention then 😆
Anne C.A. Baanenlb: critical support for the duckweed in its quest to moisten all lawyers and bailiffs
like seriously, is there any building in Rijnsweerd whose purpose is not law-related?
Pauline von Hellermann@CriticalCupcake i am not at all sure whether this ⬆️ really has anything to do with #ClimateChange, but as it appears to be a consequence of unseasonably warm weather followed by unseasonably? cold weather, and as it’s certainly the first time I have heard of this happening, I definitely do have to tag #ClimateDiary here 😀
@CriticalCupcake PS rather intrigued by the two people looking at the person in the water. Why are they just standing there, chatting, not helping them out?
Julio Jimenez@CriticalCupcake I would definitely walk right into this. “Yeah, honey, we can cross right here…shploop!”
I got brushed by trams twice in Amsterdam (sober). Walking while tourist. 🤦♂️
@CriticalCupcake
Thank you. I shall not complain about Mondays anymore. At least this hasn't happened to me yet.

Reiner Jung 🇬🇱 🇺🇦 🇪🇺@CriticalCupcake would never happen in Germany. Such a wide bike path would be immediately used for car parking.

Rebecca Fernandez
Megan@CriticalCupcake and this is why you shouldn't walk on cycle paths
sortius@CriticalCupcake is there no end to the damage that duckweed does?
(I'm an aquarist, so my dislike of duckweed is unending)
Adrian Morales@CriticalCupcake Clearly, guardrails are needed. Also, the person that fell in should find better friends.
Simon Siahaya@CriticalCupcake Haha! Supermooi bij ons in business parkje Rijnsweerd!
SamuelJohnson@CriticalCupcake Haha, this takes me back. Our dog fell for this one (green algae looking like grass) in a Dutch canal once. 😂
Maxwell (it/its)@CriticalCupcake The one thing that makes it clear that it's not a Dutch cycle path is that there's no one cycling on it.
Longhairedgit@CriticalCupcake I can only imagine their difficulties in fossil shops trying to buy potatoes.
🐚 Undo Influence 🐚😮 I almost tripped a fire alarm today walking through the wrong door on the way to get my haircut. Healing thoughts and prayers to everyone who fell into the pond.
Daniel Bernal@CriticalCupcake @_patmurray Oh shit.., I love that sign!

Agent Joséphine BakerIn Germany this would not happen because there are no cycle paths.
régis calustris@CriticalCupcake That sign kind of makes it worse. I wouldn't expect anything but solid land underneath a post like that.
Owen King@CriticalCupcake
This is not a terribly uncommon problem in the Netherlands it seems. Here is a pond in a park in Enschede.
The sign says:
WATCH OUT!!! pond
Marilyne@CriticalCupcake What if a young kid falls in? Seems rather unsafe.
David S (inactive)See @RantyHighwayman, this is why cycle paths should be green not red. No wait! Blue! Yes blue! Aaaaaaaaaaiii
Rica Tatiana 🏳️⚧️🇵🇷🏳️🌈@CriticalCupcake doesn't help there is steps on both sides.

haha I enjoyed this very much 
illumi241mastodon.lol is down :(
I hope it wasn't shut down early...
Dallman Ross@CriticalCupcake As they say in German, "sie sind nicht utrecht" (aufrecht): they aren't upright.
(No, nobody says that; I just made it up going for the bad pun.)
