There's an episode of Star Trek TNG where the crew is briefly back on earth and capt Picard is enticed by the idea of taking a job where they do exactly this. They work on lifting a tectonic plate from the ocean floor to create a new continent.

I have a vague memory of that and I have a feeling it would be a massive ecological catastrophe.

Then again, Earth had already gone through a nuclear war, so whatever.

[-] Bolt@lemmy.world 20 points 5 months ago

I mean, two nuclear bombs were used in war and a bunch in testing, unless I'm forgetting something. I feel like tectonic activity could definitely be much worse than that, judging by the early earth environment.

Just like the Simpsons or XKCD, there's always a relevant Star Trek episode. It's unfortunate none of my friends have watched any.

Are those really friends?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Where do we ship the Clockwork Orange eyelid clamps?

[-] Bach37strad@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I'll be your friend ♥️

S4E2. After the Borg incident Picard visits his brother and childhood home. Brief discussions of alternate life and career.

I believe the project in that episode was actually Atlantropa, a dam across the strait of Gibraltar to drain the entire Mediterranean sea.

The idea was proposed in the 1920s and somewhat entertained by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.

Why do I have no memory of this

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago

Because you fail as a nerd and have brought shame on your family.

Time to do a ritual self-killing known as sudoku.

[-] Malfeasant@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Nonono, that's a stupid puzzle game. The word you're looking for is sardaukar.

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 5 points 5 months ago

If it helps I think it's the one where he gets into a fight with his brother

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Yeah, I already found it on Memory Alpha

It really was just a passing reference, so no wonder I don't remember it after thirty years

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 2 points 5 months ago

My neuropathy prevents me from forgetting things like that

[-] Bach37strad@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I wish the tingling in my hands helped me remember things!
