That's where the trash swirl is I think... so it could be made if plastic

[-] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 2 years ago

Plastic here to there, dead sealife everywhere

Devastation, this is man's creation

[-] MMNT@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Haha, that was brilliant. 😂

[-] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 2 years ago

At least that plastic has a use then...

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

[-] MrMcGasion@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

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

[-] cobwoms@lemmy.blahaj.zone 30 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Neato@kbin.social 16 points 2 years ago

Unfortunately we've only got about a billion.

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

[-] MrNesser@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago

Lex Luther tried this once and everyone hated him for it

[-] Stamets@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago

True but he was also Kevin Spacey at the time

[-] ichbinjasokreativ@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

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

[-] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 years ago

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

[-] tweeks@feddit.nl 3 points 2 years ago

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

[-] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Let’s add even more garbage there, presto!

Billionaires?

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

[-] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 years ago

I'd play that mod in EU4 ;)

Oh excellent 👌

Me, mumbling to my laptop: "Anbennar, you're going to have to be okay with an open relationship."

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

I dunno, sounds like a garbage place to live.

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 11 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Graphy@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

That's where Northrend goes.

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

[-] phuntis@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

[-] phuntis@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] vaquedoso@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Re-reading their comment now and the way they phrased I don't think I'm able to interpret it that way, but at the end of the day it doesn't really matter. Glad we are on the same page now!

[-] gmtom@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yes I did intent it as a joke, it's pretty clearly sarcasm

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

[-] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Sorry, left it in the Pegasus galaxy

[-] Toes@ani.social 3 points 2 years ago

Ran out of ZPMs too?

[-] riskable@programming.dev 1 points 2 years 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" 👍

R'lyeh will rise again! Ia! 🐙🌠🌊🐚

Someone call UAE, they are the experts on such stuff

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Do what China is doing in the South China Sea.

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

#OceanLandNow

[-] TomAwsm@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Are you a member of Team Magma?

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I’m a devoted follower of Captain LetsBuildLandOnTheOcean. The name isn’t so catchy, but the point is clear.

That's what they want you to think

[-] AllonzeeLV@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

[-] Octopus1348@lemy.lol 2 points 2 years ago

The best way to solve overpopulation.

[-] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 2 points 2 years ago

We can have a Waterworld situation going there
