That’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.

Well some of them are built so the front doesn't fall off at all

This heat wave situation is really getting out of hand.

2013... gosh that brings me back. I remember the doom and gloom predictions that 2012 was the end of the world. 2012 and 2013 were the best damn days of my life

It turns out the Mayan calendar just cycles when it reaches the end. Also the world ended for them much longer ago than 2012..

Mildly infuriating:
It looks like the brick wall is sliding on wet cement, a brick wall cannot melt FFS. 😋

Edit:
How can it look like something that is impossible?
I wonder how the brain even works for somebody that think this looks like melting?
Yes stone can melt too, but it wouldn't look anything like that if it did.
And I know perfectly well it's an art piece, I've seen that article many times.

This is a decade old art installation... So it isn't doing that either

Obviously it isn't, I write WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!
How frigging hard is that to get?

Red bricks melt between 1,800f and 2,200f.

No he doesn't, if he did he would use centigrade.

Sorry I don't do Flaffenfeit.

The article literally says in the opening sentence that it is an art installation. The article is also from 2013. They just decided to use a click bait headline.

What, yes I can perfectly well see that, and yes I have seen the article before, this is not the first time.
What's your point?
