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

[–] butwhyishischinabook@lemmy.world 10 points 4 hours ago

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

[–] Infomatics90@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] Diddlydee 13 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

I reckon the Mercator projection has lied to you.

[–] CaptnNMorgan@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours 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

Sounds like a risky click for some reason.

[–] JimVanDeventer@lemmy.world 16 points 15 hours ago

I was sure this was a Suddam Hussein post.

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 15 points 16 hours 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.

[–] Jourei@lemm.ee 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)
[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] JustTesting@lemmy.hogru.ch 7 points 11 hours 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?

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours 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?

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 9 points 17 hours 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 7 hours 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 2 hours 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 hour ago

Not much loss if Gisbourne was taken out.

[–] 299792458ms@lemmy.zip 4 points 16 hours ago

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

[–] ryan213@lemmy.ca 41 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Those selfish Chileans! They could double their beaches!

[–] Klear@sh.itjust.works 8 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

And let Argentina have some? Not worth it.

[–] ryan213@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 hours ago

Oh shit, maybe half of Chile stays.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 14 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours 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 14 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Chile isn't a weed it's a pepper

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 10 points 21 hours 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 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

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

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 33 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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

[–] socsa@piefed.social 7 points 21 hours ago

Build the bridge and make Chile pay for it.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That a cause worth fighting for.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago

Those diabolical Chile preservationists...

[–] obscur_e@lemm.ee 3 points 21 hours ago

When musk will be president yeah

[–] RandomStickman@fedia.io 16 points 1 day ago

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

[–] jcs@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago

But image the traffic 🙃

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

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

[–] Sassington 2 points 2 hours 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.

[–] trespasser69@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Because humans can't move that big land

[–] akkajdh999@programming.dev 15 points 22 hours ago

Skill issue

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 9 points 21 hours ago

No, humans can't move blue whales either

[–] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

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