This project is underway. What do you think all that ocean plastic is for?
fun
They could literally task a SINGLE Dutch person and this shit would be poldered by yesterday
that’s a new verb for me. my favorite timer is a Polder so i always just used it as a proper noun. thanks for using fun language
We’re trying!
I regret to inform you that it has become a specific cabbage patch.I somehow misread garbage as cabbage for this.
In about ten years, they’ll be able to connect all three with a land bridge made out of plastic garbage
It’s for a parking lot, isn’t it?
A construction plan of epic proportions. They’re calling it a freeway.
Eight lanes of shimmering cement running from here to Pasadena. Smooth, safe, fast. Traffic jams will be a thing of the past.
I see a place where people get on and off the freeway. On and off. Off and on. All day, all night. Soon where the Pacific once was will be a string of gas stations, inexpensive motels, restaurants that serve rapidly prepared food, tire salons, automobile dealerships, and wonderful, wonderful billboards reaching as far as the eye can see! My god… It’ll be beautiful.
And a couple malls, yeah
Am American. Can confirm, we are very stupid, which means we’ll probably try this.
They can call it New Flevoland
We will completely engulf Canada. We’ll see who’s laughing then!
We’ll have all the poutine!
It would create new spots in the house and Senate. Changing the whole dynamic of political. So it’ll never happen and if it does… It’ll just be a territory like Puerto Rico or Washington DC.
Can’t have folks having representation
Please take down this post. It will give the current administration ideas. First term he just drew outside the lines and this is exactly that.
Here’s why. The Kansai International Airport filled about 180k cubic km of land for about $15b. Given the shape is about 8m square km, and an average seafloor depth of about 3km, this project would cost about $1500 trillion dollars. That’s slightly under half of the new ICE budget and would not be approved by Congress.
The Kansai International Airport filled about 180k cubic km of land for about $15b.
Actually, you’re wrong. According to the airport’s Wikipedia page, the volume filled was 180 million m³, or 0.18 km³. Taking your numbers of 8 million km² and a depth of 3 km we get a volume of 24 million km³ for a cost of $2 quintillion. That’s nearly a third of the US’s total defense budget!
Also, the US’s total land area is 9.5 million km², so this would require either stripping the top 2.5 km of ground from the entire US, or digging the state of Wyoming right down to the mantle. (I vote for the latter; who even lives in Wyoming anyways?)
Yea with those kind of dollars we should be kicking out more immigrants who jaywalked.
Then America has to import more D*tch 🤢
They can have Wilders
And everyone who votes for him
This is not a stupid idea if you think about it for long enough.
i know someone who can get us a great deal on dirt
Been thinking for an hour, when does it get better? Do I need drugs for this?
If you keep them thinking about it for a good 80 years more (presidential age) it won’t matter so much until it finally doesn’t forever.
