Sure, but its fun to speculate!
blackbrook@mander.xyz 1 year ago
The English language has words and grammar for speculation, “will” is not one of them.

I thought the pacific was getting smaller and the Atlantic was getting larger? I would expect the America’s to meet with east Asia.
ramble81@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
Okay. Glad I’m not the only one and I can’t believe I had to scroll so far.
Takapapatapaka@tarte.nuage-libre.fr 1 year ago
From what the wikipedia page tells, under this hypothesis atlantic will stop widening in about 125 millions years, and begin to shrink.

I guess no point in climbing Mount Everest if it’s not going to be the tallest in 250M years. That’s a relief.

Apparently New Zeland is still off the map… Just like nowadays.

It’s comforting to see that the large cities will still exist in 250 million years.
gnutrino@programming.dev 1 year ago
Note it doesn’t say they’re still populated…
IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 1 year ago
We have to survive, imagine the high speed trains of the future!!!
taiyang@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m sure they’re populated… by something. Roaches, probably.

Pacific Ocean feeling pretty smug right now about maintaining its status as the largest ocean.

what the fuck where is the middle east, did we get erased ??? ^/s^
HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s, strangely, pretty much where you left it, right between India and Africa.
fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
lmao I kind of see it now, it appears the Arabian peninsula is no longer a peninsula but a tiny bump. Oh well good to know I wasn’t erased

Building a wall to prevent other continents from invading America?

Solves the Florida problem at least.
Pandantic@midwest.social 1 year ago
Florida stuck it in Africa and made the new highest point.

LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The world will be covered with a whole new set of life forms, humans will be long gone, and there will be no evidence that we ever existed.
explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
They’ll be fossils and a band of pollution akin to the oxygen catastrophe.
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 1 year ago
A thin layer in the fossil record of iron oxide, microplastic particles, and the occasional Nokia phone.
iAvicenna@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I hope at least some info about how we all died out of the greed of the few and inability of many to understand who the real enemy is

Get used to the fact that it won’t.

“The South will rise again” folks were right. They just had a much longer timeline than we imagined.

Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
this made me realize how great this map would be for an alternate history or fantasy setting
the mountain range between north america and africa creates the super interesting situation where the sides are almost entirely separated save for the coast and a teensy tiny bit near cape town that’s sort of crossable, so the coast would see an insane amount of traffic and i could see there being a capital nestled in the mountains next to the passage to cape town.
And of course the indian ocean would be where basically everyone lives, as others have said.ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I DMed a D&D campaign a few years ago for which I drew a map that was just North America with the water level up 300 meters and rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. Nobody noticed it after I let the characters discover the map.
Donkter@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Cradle of civilization is going to be lit around the Indian ocean. It’s like a super Mediterranean.
