Those selfish Chileans! They could double their beaches!

[–] Klear@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

And let Argentina have some? Not worth it.

[–] ryan213@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

Oh shit, maybe half of Chile stays.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 36 points 1 week ago (3 children)

The basis for WWIII .... the world wanting to relocate all of Chile to use as a bridge across the Atlantic.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That a cause worth fighting for.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Those diabolical Chile preservationists...

[–] socsa@piefed.social 10 points 1 week ago

Build the bridge and make Chile pay for it.

[–] obscur_e@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

When musk will be president yeah

[–] Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (2 children)

After the recent election, north America can stay away from Europe for a while

[–] butwhyishischinabook@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

looks at Hungary, Poland, Italy, Germany, and whatever Greece calls it's Coast Guard Suuuuuuuure it's definitely just an us problem.

[–] Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Europe definitely has problems, but Trump can do so much more damage than any of the maniacs over here

[–] Infomatics90@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

as much as I'd love a land bridge to come visit my family in Italy from here in Canada. I agree.

[–] JimVanDeventer@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

I was sure this was a Suddam Hussein post.

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 17 points 1 week ago (3 children)

That would do very bad things to the ocean circulations which could cause a climate catastrophe. Also it's heavy and they don't wanna.

[–] JustTesting@lemmy.hogru.ch 9 points 1 week ago

That part of the ocean circulation is on track to stop in the next 50 years anyways, so might as well get a chile bridge out of it?

[–] Jourei@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But will post10 be able to unclog a culvert that large?

[–] Jourei@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

Eyyy, exactly what I was thinking of as well!

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I've got my best team of dapper fresh-faced engineers with limited world experience willing to help for a wad of cash that will most certainly leave you in ruins. What say ya?

[–] RandomStickman@fedia.io 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We should rolled up Chile to make it easier to push it

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

A dehydrated Chile would also have a much smaller net weight

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

It's kind of like a weed. The part you see poking up above the surface of the water is connected to a larger continental plate beneath it. You'd need to dig it up but it's in too deep so you can't.

Also, travel by water is actually easier. Less hooligans on the ocean roads.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Chile isn't a weed it's a pepper

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Anything you don't want in your garden is a weed. Maybe the Chile is growing in a tomato patch. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Nightshade berries are nightshade berries. Just eat em. What's the worst that could happen.

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I reckon the Mercator projection has lied to you.

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)
[–] petersr@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sounds like a risky click for some reason.

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 week ago

😂

It's not, it's the site that was used to make the map in the post screenshot.

[–] CaptnNMorgan@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I don't think so, Chile is 2,653 miles long, north to south. I can't get an exact distance from the Canadian coast to the Spanish coast, but the distances that are available from Spain to closer to the center of Canada suggest it would at the very least, be really close

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is the middle of Chile deep enough for the mid-ocean ridge? Or would it snap in half?

Also, I'm not sure Chile would fit through the panama canal, I think as a nation it's post-panamax.

[–] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Rather than try the canal, which is alway rammed at this time of day, it could do a 3 point turn, passing through the roaring 40's and up through the South Alantic?

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Would it hit New Zealand trying to make the turn? It would certainly take out Easter Island.

[–] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Not much loss if Gisbourne was taken out.

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just wait for climate change to get real interesting. It could happen.

[–] Sassington@feddit.uk 3 points 1 week ago

I knew climate change was going to be devastating but I wasn't expecting a south American land mass to up and plant itself between North America and Europe....

Moving that country that far north would make the weather just a wee bit...Chile.

[–] jcs@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

But imagine the traffic 🙃

[–] trespasser69@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Because humans can't move that big land

[–] akkajdh999@programming.dev 15 points 1 week ago

Skill issue

[–] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 week ago

No, humans can't move blue whales either

[–] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

It seems theoretically possible, with an unlimited budget and no time limit.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago
[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

Just build a dam

[–] 299792458ms@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

Chilean here, we would need several smaller bridges at the end of the trip "Canada-Spain"

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Como un puente sobre aguas turbulentas

Yo me desplegaré

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Someone is but it ain't us

[–] gasgiant@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

This is what those woke liberals want!
