Plastic here to there, dead sealife everywhere

Devastation, this is man's creation

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

Haha, that was brilliant. 😂

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 2 years ago

At least that plastic has a use then...

Done and done, is it Shadow Lands or a pubg map?

[–] MrMcGasion@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

I hate that I know this, but that's Fortnite Chapter 1, probably around season 2 or 3.

[–] cobwoms@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 2 years ago (1 children)

based on what little i know about tectonic plates, earth is working on it already. give it about 10 billion years.

[–] Neato@kbin.social 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Unfortunately we've only got about a billion.

the ultimate in gentrification just planting a new continent over indigenous islands

Lex Luther tried this once and everyone hated him for it

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago

True but he was also Kevin Spacey at the time

[–] ichbinjasokreativ@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

We kind of already did that, except it's made of trash.

If Atlantis was so cool, how come no one ever started Atlantis 2: Pacificis?

Oh excellent 👌

Me, mumbling to my laptop: "Anbennar, you're going to have to be okay with an open relationship."

We just need to put something on top of the load bearing plastic.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's probably where the ultra-rich are building floating city or something

There’s a hilarious history of libertarians trying to create island nations which end up failing. My favorite part is when they realize they need to implement laws similar to ones they’re trying to get away from.

That's where Northrend goes.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

I dunno, sounds like a garbage place to live.

[–] Toes@ani.social 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Let's make it a floating island and call it skylantis.

[–] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sorry, left it in the Pegasus galaxy

[–] Toes@ani.social 3 points 2 years ago

Ran out of ZPMs too?

[–] riskable@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

No, call it Highland and have it suck the life energy out of the people it passes over (to keep it fueled and in the sky). People that live there can be called, "Highlanders" 👍

I’ve always said we have too much ocean—and it’s only getting bigger.

Are you a member of Team Magma?

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I’m a devoted follower of Captain LetsBuildLandOnTheOcean. The name isn’t so catchy, but the point is clear.

Don't tempt our owners.

They'll crash a meteor there killing millions to billions just to fight an economic war/game amongst themselves over carving up the new mountain real estate in the pacific.

[–] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 2 points 2 years ago

We can have a Waterworld situation going there
