[u/tofu_sensei84]

A completely normal bench for those tall Dutch people

[u/Glittering_Ad_9215 → u/tofu_sensei84]

Yea, it‘s just weird for the short rest-of-the-world people

[u/Proffessor_egghead → u/tofu_sensei84]

No it’s not

They made the backrest way smaller to accommodate tourists

[u/Bk_Punisher → u/tofu_sensei84]

Or off duty lifeguards 🤣😂

[u/silvershade77]

A perfect size for the Dutch.

All jokes aside: its an art piece about climate change. If Amsterdam floods the water will be the same height as the bench.

[u/__No__Control → u/silvershade77]

Thats very interesting and typical dutch

[u/tms5000 → u/silvershade77]

Playground above sea level in the Netherlands.

[u/jmb456]

For when you wanna get high

I believe I have a true story from that exact park. (That bench wasn't there, tho).

If that's the same fountain (somewhere in Vondel Park):

We were sitting on a normal bench, just having had a smoke and were kinda zoned out. Looking out at the calm surface of the water.

Then suddenly something huge started moving UNDER the water - then cascades of water came blasting out through the surface.

YES, a certain uneasiness occured. Of course.

But we quite quickly realized it was the coolest motherfucking fountain we ever had seen! Large metalic parts of the fountain rose out of the water like beasts, twisting and turning, and spreading the water-jets in all kinds of surprising ways and directions.

From hiding under the surface - to givning us Inter-Railers juust that extra afternoon-kick in Amsterdam.

[u/EmbarrassedCoconut93 → u/vikinxo]

You really needed AI for that

[u/corsasis → u/jmb456]

OP knows a spot

[u/hamfist_ofthenorth → u/jmb456]

Or, like, bloodclots

[u/MamasCupcakes]

Make alittle taller and put another one on the bottom. Bunk benches

[u/SDLand → u/MamasCupcakes]

Perfect for those moments when you’re homeless with your brother.

[u/yaekoblue → u/MamasCupcakes]

watch out for falling logs

[u/scr1bbl3 → u/MamasCupcakes]

Emmet, is that you?

[u/maxru85]

”We were high AF in that park in Amsterdam”

[u/Rachill_Rebelz → u/maxru85]

Same lol

[u/FocusSlo]

It's an art installation about rising sea levels due to climate change

[u/50t5]

We ha e a matching chair in Estonia

[u/Fit_Active3888]

That would be a lawsuit in waiting, if it was in north america

[u/poestijger2000]

What's wrong with this bench? It is toch gewoon a very normale bench?

[u/AutoModerator]

[u/RaisinZRH]

There one I know of in Copenhagen. Next to one of the 4 Søerne

[u/MaxPower836]

Is there something comical about the size of my bench

[u/Wicked_Mouse]

I've seen an other one at a different spot in Amsterdam

[u/xNOTHELPFUL]

there are multiple of these in amsterdam, also one next to the ferry dock bij eyemuseum

[u/CanadianArtGirl]

I really love that there’s adults on this bench and not just children!

[u/SnooChickens8275 → u/CanadianArtGirl]

As a non native speaker, is it “there is adults?” or “there are adults?”

[u/CanadianArtGirl → u/SnooChickens8275]

There are adults 😊

[u/ShadyLady312]

I would love to sit on that bench

[u/poker_buddy]

For when you're high

[u/Ok-Sector-493]

Thats for when Alice takes the one that makes her BIG

[u/marinusV5]

[u/SnooChickens8275]

This is a segregation measure from the Dutch. Works pretty well

[u/Charming_Ad2323]

Is this in Vondlepark?

[u/CybergothiChe]

r/benchporn

[u/Bk_Punisher]

Park benches for off duty lifeguards

[u/Due-Plantain8040]

It's for when you're high

[u/Wut_the_]

The United States would have put a bed of spikes under the bench to ward off homeless people from sleeping on it and accidentally rolling off.

[u/Mundane_Lecture_9776]

I thought it was a double decker bench

[u/Dicethrower]

Bunk bench.

[u/-_Harry_-]

there probably wasn't a permit to trim the bushes on the side of the pond, so they decided to double up on the bench so you could still see the base of the fountain

[u/D058]

A nice place to enjoy a stroopwafel met slagroom

[u/Mathematicianbutbad → u/Uncle_Burney]

Who puts slagroom on a stroopwafel?

[u/Uncle_Burney → u/Mathematicianbutbad]

Dude, I know like 3 Dutch words, cut me some slack.
