After the recent election, north America can stay away from Europe for a while
butwhyishischinabook@lemmy.world 2 months ago
looks at Hungary, Poland, Italy, Germany, and whatever Greece calls it’s Coast Guard Suuuuuuuure it’s definitely just an us problem.
Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Europe definitely has problems, but Trump can do so much more damage than any of the maniacs over here

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

Sounds like a risky click for some reason.

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
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.

Chile isn’t a weed it’s a pepper

Anything you don’t want in your garden is a weed. Maybe the Chile is growing in a tomato patch. 🤷🏻♂️

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 2 months ago
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 2 months ago
Would it hit New Zealand trying to make the turn? It would certainly take out Easter Island.

Just wait for climate change to get real interesting. It could happen.
Sassington@feddit.uk 2 months 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.
