Those selfish Chileans! They could double their beaches!

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 12 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

And let Argentina have some? Not worth it.

[-] ryan213@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 weeks ago

Oh shit, maybe half of Chile stays.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 36 points 1 month ago

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 month ago

That a cause worth fighting for.

[-] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago

Those diabolical Chile preservationists...

[-] socsa@piefed.social 10 points 4 weeks ago

Build the bridge and make Chile pay for it.

[-] obscur_e@lemm.ee 4 points 4 weeks ago

When musk will be president yeah

[-] Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world 26 points 4 weeks ago

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

[-] butwhyishischinabook@lemmy.world 14 points 4 weeks ago

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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks ago

I was sure this was a Suddam Hussein post.

[-] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 17 points 4 weeks ago

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 4 weeks 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 4 weeks ago
[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 3 points 4 weeks ago

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

[-] Jourei@lemm.ee 1 points 4 weeks ago

Eyyy, exactly what I was thinking of as well!

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks 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 month ago

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

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 weeks ago

A dehydrated Chile would also have a much smaller net weight

[-] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 15 points 4 weeks ago

I reckon the Mercator projection has lied to you.

[-] Venator@lemmy.nz 9 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)
[-] petersr@lemmy.world 8 points 4 weeks ago

Sounds like a risky click for some reason.

[-] Venator@lemmy.nz 5 points 4 weeks ago

😂

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

[-] CaptnNMorgan@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks 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

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 15 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

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 4 weeks ago

Chile isn't a weed it's a pepper

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 11 points 4 weeks ago

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 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

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

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 4 weeks ago

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?

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

[-] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

Not much loss if Gisbourne was taken out.

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Sassington@feddit.uk 3 points 4 weeks 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 4 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

But imagine the traffic 🙃

[-] trespasser69@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Because humans can't move that big land

[-] akkajdh999@programming.dev 15 points 4 weeks ago

Skill issue

[-] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 4 points 4 weeks ago
[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 9 points 4 weeks ago

No, humans can't move blue whales either

[-] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

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

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 weeks ago
[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 weeks ago

Just build a dam

[-] 299792458ms@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 weeks 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 month ago

Como un puente sobre aguas turbulentas

Yo me desplegaré

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

Someone is but it ain't us

[-] gasgiant@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 weeks ago

This is what those woke liberals want!
