Hundreds gathered in Chicago’s Millennium Park with one goal: move “The Bean” seven inches. Despite their best efforts, the iconic sculpture didn’t budge.

First off, it’s anchored by tie rods and other foundationals. Second, it weighs 100 metric tons (~220,000 pounds/110 tons for the non-metrics). Hypothetically, if it weren’t anchored, you would need ~0.3-0.5 of the total weight to overcome friction of steel on asphalt, so 66-110k of lateral force. Assume someone with good footing and handhold can push an average of 100 pounds sustained horizontal force, you would need ~1000-2000 people minimum. Other issues, curved slippery surface, uneven contact, coordination, footing etc would drive the numbers higher. To the point where not enough people would have good enough contact to matter. In layman’s terms, that shit ain’t going nowhere.

Think of all the parent's basements that were empty at that moment. Might be a world record.
I thought idolatry was a sin.

I guess I would rather see this than rioting and burning down iconic buildings or tearing down statues.

I guess my first question is: why move it?

People across Chicago lauded the attempt as a great victory… To what? Nobody knows. The city is still a cesspool of leftist policies, but the mayor was happy that attention was turned away from his incompetence for a brief moment in time.

A successful push would have generated a great headline ... "Ten Darwin Prize contestants die after successful Bean move"

Just another ritual —
🔥🔥🤯👋 This is just beyond 📌 11/8/26 Chicago Bean Push The event to push the Chicago bean “ 7 inches to the left” to give the man inside, “resources”. Those resources? Pickles 🥒 🤯 This is some wacko child bearing ritual . My guess would be — Jesus Christ 📌 The event was held at 12:47 pm 1247 minutes = 20 hours 47 minutes 247th day of the year = 9/4 9/4 in a LEAP year = 248th day Quantum Leap💫 2:48pm = 888th minute of the day 888 minutes before midnight = 9:11 am 📌 888 is the Biblical number for Christ 888 minutes = .6166666 days 616 number of the Beast Old Testament Christ🪞Antichrist 💥 The First Push 👉 Birth 🤯
