Worlds longest water slide. That's how gravity works right?

Saskatchewanians will only allow this if we're allowed to directly pump oil into it 😂😂😂

Ah for just one time, I would take the Northwest passage to the sea.

Westward from the Potomac, t'is there t'was said to lie The sea route to the orient for which so many died

God I love his songs.

Goddamn them all! I was told

We'd sail the seas for American gold

We'd fire no guns, shed no tears!

Now I'm a broken man in a Halifax pier

The last of Barrett's privateers

It's been six years since we sailed away, and I just made Halifax yesterday! God damn them all!

Turning West Virginia into a lake would be quite a benefit.

[–] IzzyJ@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

Cant find a Northwest Passage? Make one!

[–] whitecapstromgard@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

One could make the case that the loss of West Virginia is a benefit in itself.

There is some fine white water rafting there though. I don't know what else, it's the only reason I've ever gone there. Nice curvy backroads too.

Sounds like you should speak with Robert Evans (not the director, the journalist) of Behind the Bastards, he wants to nuke the great lakes, so may as well tie your plan into his.

I miss the bagel throwing days

Today's episode had the happiest of endings.

[–] drcobaltjedi@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I usually wait till he's finished a topic before binging the whole topic. Was it only a 2 parter?

[–] ComradePorkRoll@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

It ended up being a filler episode.

[–] Nails@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

One pump one cream

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I mean come one, who has been hurt by a Nuke or two ..... I think we can do it.

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 years ago

Nestle vibes...

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago

Should be pretty easy! I hear digging canals with nukes is a great idea!

[–] MuhammadJesusGaySex@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I bet there is oil in the Arctic, and OP is actually the US government. This is our future sheeple!!! Wake up!!!

[–] odium@programming.dev 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mean, there is oil in Alaska. Lots of it.

[–] PickTheStick@ttrpg.network 3 points 2 years ago

Shoot, one of Alaska's biggest northern settlements, if not the biggest, is an oil work camp. Look up Deadhorse / Prudhoe Bay. The road up there is totally worth taking if you're into birdwatching or really rugged roughing it.

Could use that spinlaunch thing to skip a fucking massive flat stone across America

We need to make the northwest passage we have the northwest passage at home this post is northwest passage at home

[–] kmaismith@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

The Ohio & Erie Canal will rise again!

[–] SirBucksworth@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I have only one question: can I join? I‘ll bring my own shovel!

[–] cooopsspace@infosec.pub 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

[–] Joris@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Isn't there such a canal in Russia? Connecting the baltic sea with... erhm.. ice.
