Plastic here to there, dead sealife everywhere

Devastation, this is man's creation

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Haha, that was brilliant. 😂

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

At least that plastic has a use then...

Done and done, is it Shadow Lands or a pubg map?

[–] MrMcGasion 17 points 10 months ago

I hate that I know this, but that's Fortnite Chapter 1, probably around season 2 or 3.

based on what little i know about tectonic plates, earth is working on it already. give it about 10 billion years.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Unfortunately we've only got about a billion.

the ultimate in gentrification just planting a new continent over indigenous islands

Lex Luther tried this once and everyone hated him for it

[–] Stamets 29 points 10 months ago

True but he was also Kevin Spacey at the time

[–] ichbinjasokreativ 19 points 10 months ago

We kind of already did that, except it's made of trash.

If Atlantis was so cool, how come no one ever started Atlantis 2: Pacificis?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

We just need to put something on top of the load bearing plastic.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's a great idea, melt everything together and we've got a giant landmass. Let's add even more garbage there, presto!

Billionaires?

I'd play that mod in EU4 ;)

Oh excellent 👌

[–] aeronmelon 12 points 10 months ago

I dunno, sounds like a garbage place to live.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

That's where Northrend goes.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's probably where the ultra-rich are building floating city or something

There’s a hilarious history of libertarians trying to create island nations which end up failing. My favorite part is when they realize they need to implement laws similar to ones they’re trying to get away from.

Idk where people get their podcasts from but behind the bastards had a fun one of the subject too. https://youtu.be/6sUPr1k4vB8?si=vE4Tpo1TNS27hlLJ

I haven't watched that video, but Mu has never existed. It was a thought experiment theorised by some victorian antiquarian and has no tangible evidence associated with it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

yeah the video doesn't claim it existed it's called what if there was a continent in the pacific atleast read the title it's an alternate history speculation

[–] vaquedoso 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I know that channel and I recognised the video, I just haven't watched it. I was just replying to the comment where they said it existed as it was fact. And sorry, I didn't mean to sound aggressive if it came out that way.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

considering the video they linked I'm pretty sure they were joking when phrasing it as if it actually rxisted

Let's make it a floating island and call it skylantis.

[–] SkybreakerEngineer 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sorry, left it in the Pegasus galaxy

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Ran out of ZPMs too?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

No, call it Highland and have it suck the life energy out of the people it passes over (to keep it fueled and in the sky). People that live there can be called, "Highlanders" 👍

I’ve always said we have too much ocean—and it’s only getting bigger.

Don't tempt our owners.

They'll crash a meteor there killing millions to billions just to fight an economic war/game amongst themselves over carving up the new mountain real estate in the pacific.

[–] dlpkl 2 points 10 months ago

That's okay Hawaii, you go as fast as you can little buddy.

The best way to solve overpopulation.

We can have a Waterworld situation going there

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Andesoria's out there somewhere I think.
