I have a vague memory of that and I have a feeling it would be a massive ecological catastrophe.
Then again, Earth had already gone through a nuclear war, so whatever.
Comment on Why has no one thought of this before?!

There’s an episode of Star Trek TNG where the crew is briefly back on earth and capt Picard is enticed by the idea of taking a job where they do exactly this. They work on lifting a tectonic plate from the ocean floor to create a new continent.

I mean, two nuclear bombs were used in war and a bunch in testing, unless I’m forgetting something. I feel like tectonic activity could definitely be much worse than that, judging by the early earth environment.

I believe the project in that episode was actually Atlantropa, a dam across the strait of Gibraltar to drain the entire Mediterranean sea.
The idea was proposed in the 1920s and somewhat entertained by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.

Why do I have no memory of this

Because you fail as a nerd and have brought shame on your family.

Nonono, that’s a stupid puzzle game. The word you’re looking for is sardaukar.

If it helps I think it's the one where he gets into a fight with his brother
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Yeah, I already found it on Memory Alpha

Just like the Simpsons or XKCD, there’s always a relevant Star Trek episode. It’s unfortunate none of my friends have watched any.

Are those really friends?
