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

Lex Luther tried this once and everyone hated him for it

True but he was also Kevin Spacey at the time

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

That's a great idea, melt everything together and we've got a giant landmass. Let's add even more garbage there, presto!

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.

Idk where people get their podcasts from but behind the bastards had a fun one of the subject too. https://youtu.be/6sUPr1k4vB8?si=vE4Tpo1TNS27hlLJ

Wow. This is pretty funny. I'm not one for poscasts but this one is good so far.

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

I haven't watched that video, but Mu has never existed. It was a thought experiment theorised by some victorian antiquarian and has no tangible evidence associated with it

yeah the video doesn't claim it existed it's called what if there was a continent in the pacific atleast read the title it's an alternate history speculation

I know that channel and I recognised the video, I just haven't watched it. I was just replying to the comment where they said it existed as it was fact. And sorry, I didn't mean to sound aggressive if it came out that way.

considering the video they linked I'm pretty sure they were joking when phrasing it as if it actually rxisted

Re-reading their comment now and the way they phrased I don't think I'm able to interpret it that way, but at the end of the day it doesn't really matter. Glad we are on the same page now!

Yes I did intent it as a joke, it's pretty clearly sarcasm

Completely unrealistic guys, it's an important part of the barrier that keeps us from falling off the flat earth

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

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" 👍

Do what China is doing in the South China Sea.

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

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.

Andesoria's out there somewhere I think.
