Those selfish Chileans! They could double their beaches!
And let Argentina have some? Not worth it.
Oh shit, maybe half of Chile stays.
The basis for WWIII .... the world wanting to relocate all of Chile to use as a bridge across the Atlantic.
That a cause worth fighting for.
Those diabolical Chile preservationists...
Build the bridge and make Chile pay for it.
When musk will be president yeah
After the recent election, north America can stay away from Europe for a while
looks at Hungary, Poland, Italy, Germany, and whatever Greece calls it's Coast Guard Suuuuuuuure it's definitely just an us problem.
Europe definitely has problems, but Trump can do so much more damage than any of the maniacs over here
as much as I'd love a land bridge to come visit my family in Italy from here in Canada. I agree.
I was sure this was a Suddam Hussein post.
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.
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?
Eh, build a culvert!
But will post10 be able to unclog a culvert that large?
Eyyy, exactly what I was thinking of as well!
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?
We should rolled up Chile to make it easier to push it
A dehydrated Chile would also have a much smaller net weight
I reckon the Mercator projection has lied to you.
thetruesize.com
Sounds like a risky click for some reason.
😂
It's not, it's the site that was used to make the map in the post screenshot.
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
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.
Chile isn't a weed it's a pepper
Anything you don't want in your garden is a weed. Maybe the Chile is growing in a tomato patch. 🤷🏻♂️
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.
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.
Not much loss if Gisbourne was taken out.
Just wait for climate change to get real interesting. It could happen.
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.
But imagine the traffic 🙃
Because humans can't move that big land
Skill issue
What about blue whales?
No, humans can't move blue whales either
It seems theoretically possible, with an unlimited budget and no time limit.
Cowards!
Just build a dam
Chilean here, we would need several smaller bridges at the end of the trip "Canada-Spain"
Como un puente sobre aguas turbulentas
Yo me desplegaré
Someone is but it ain't us
This is what those woke liberals want!
