If every human held hands around the equator, it would make a very long line.

If 8 billion people hold hands and every person would take up 1.3m, the line would go around the equator 250 times. About 6 billion would drown.

Only if all the billionaires and 1% top polluters are the ones who die

True. Still: how much would the sea level rise?

[-] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Less than the icecaps melting.

No, a line is when there are people waiting in front of you, not when they're beside you holding your hand.

Would they though? Surely the people on land could hold the weight.

Maybe not across the Pacific, Atlantic maybe. Just fashion a human suspension bridge.

Not if the chain were pulled taut enough.

[-] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

But if you're a link in a ring chain, isn't pulling just tightening it ?

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Well, now both seem right. Can we get a physicist consultation? If you pull a rope bridge from both sides, it raises it. But if low enough, that puts you in the water...?

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

There is a length at which the weight of the rope itself exceeds the force exerted to tighten the rope and not break it. So basically you can have a tight shirter rope, longer saggy rope, or you have 2 ropes.

In that case people would be dismembered, and then drown.

โ€œIโ€™d like to teach the world to swim,
Oh shit, was that a shark?โ€

The Coke commercial was the first thing that came to mind even after all these years. I never knew as a kid I was watching a mass murder/suicide.

[-] CheeryLBottom@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

What? Did I miss something?

teach the world to swim

Just look at this picture, all the water around the world. It is swimming already, isn't it?

True, Captain Obvious
