As a Georgian, I approve of this project.
I like how it is completely ambiguous to which Georgian you are.
But I like to think you are a time traveler from Britain in the 1700s.
If I understand it correctly, people from Georgia the country actually call it Sakartvelo.
Yeah, and Finland is Suomi, but you never hear them saying “I’m Suomian”
We are all Georgians on this blessed day
ატამი ყველასთვის!
🍑
I am definitely choosing the 1700s British Georgians.
Welcome to Meta-Georgia
Fault lines mostly. And Lava.
While we’re at it, let’s connect the two Parises. Or the three—they do call Atlanta the Paris of the south (is that Atlanta? Seems…wrong. I’ve been to Atlanta. And Paris. I see no resemblance.)
Two Paris’s? I’m sure they are more than 2.
Why build a tunnel when you could just rename a place somewhere closer and pave a road?
How do you decide which Georgia gets left out?
Neither, you do it for both. And then you do the same for the two new Georgias…
That solution is Russian af
Because it is less fun
They clearly do not understand the magmatude of such a project.
It would get so hot that you’d “pop pop!”
Doesn’t have to be a striaght tunnel. It could follow the curvature of the earth.
Pop what?! What are they trying to to say?!
That’s a 2d picture. You only dug a ditch, at best.
Instant sub! This is exactly what I’ve been looking for.
Because the world cannot allow Georgia Prime to be reconciled. They would be to powerful.
We split them for a reason.
Is this what the tunnel jews were working on?
Connecting New York and York?
Nope, connecting Zeeland, Netherlands with New Zealand.
Whoa, this might be bigger than all of us.
People get mad when I call it West Georgia.
That’s because that’s the part of Georgia closest to Alabama, and we don’t like including them
Wouldn’t want to drag the European Georgia back 200 years 😂
Anyone have an idea how long that is?
4.7 cm
Damn. I thought I could get the job done, but the requirements are the double to what I have.
So…huge?
At least as long as a banana
10,152 Km between Atlanta and Tbilisi, and ChatGPT gave the pseudocode below as an explanation, which I didn’t double check before making this comment!
# Coordinates for Atlanta, Georgia, USA atlanta_coords = (33.7490, -84.3880) # Coordinates for Tbilisi, Georgia (country) tbilisi_coords = (41.7151, 44.8271) # Calculate the straight line distance through the Earth geopy.distance.great_circle(atlanta_coords, tbilisi_coords).km```Depends what the great circle function does. But chances are it gives you the arc length between the two points, which would give you the shortest distsnce between them on the surface of the earth.
If you wanted the distance through the earth you would need to work put the central angle of that arc, then use that to work out the remaining edge of the triangle formed between the two cities and the centre of the earth.
That’s wrong, it calculates the surface distance not the distance through the earth, while claiming otherwise. From the
geopy.distance.great_circledocumentation:Use spherical geometry to calculate the surface distance between points.
This would be a correct calculation, using the formula for the chord length from here:
from math import * # Coordinates for Atlanta, West Georgia atlanta_coords = (33.7490, -84.3880) # Coordinates for Tbilisi, Georgia tbilisi_coords = (41.7151, 44.8271) # Convert from degrees to radians phi = (radians(atlanta_coords[0]), radians(tbilisi_coords[0])) lambd = (radians(atlanta_coords[1]), radians(tbilisi_coords[1])) # Spherical law of cosines central_angle = acos(sin(phi[0]) * sin(phi[1]) + cos(phi[0]) * cos(phi[1]) * cos(lambd[1] - lambd[0])) chord_length = 2 * sin(central_angle/2) earth_radius = 6335.439 #km print(f"Tunnel length: {chord_length * earth_radius:.3f}km")A straight tunnel from Atlanta to Tbilisi would be 9060.898km long.
I believe it would be a 45 (actually 42) min journey under gravity power only?
(Assuming frictionless travel in a vacuum…)
At first I read Gravy Train and I was excited… But then I saw Gravity… but I still want the Gravy.
I mean, you could fill it with gravy, then it would be a gravity gravy train 😆
It goes all the way back to the 20th century nut and peach export conspiracy between the state of MAGAty Taylor Greene and the righteous nation of Georgia. MTG land was worried about having an even larger nut population if these exports were exchanged.
As someone from twenty minutes south of MTGs district I’d like to point out that nearly every district (minus the one north) touching hers is firmly blue and she only gets elected because every rich and rural town in the area has been gerrymandered to fuck into one district. Certain parts of Georgia are deep red but the only reason she gets elected is fucked up maps.
I haven’t looked at the maps, but my gut instinct is that it sounds like blue gerrymandering. Put most of the red in one district so you get a firmer blue hold on the rest.
Well Georgia’s purple now but has been red since the party switch, it’s not democrats making these maps. This last election was the rule, not the exception. Anecdotally the whole region north west of Atlanta is solidly purple, and almost all Republican candidates are moderate. MTG wouldn’t survive in any reasonably drawn district in this region of the state.
And MTG really won because her Democratic opponent was getting death threats from her initial rabid support base. He actually left Georgia during the 2016 election and his wife divorced him because of the amount of hate mail, death threats, and doxxing he received. Now, she only suffered no consequences because she never publicly called for him to be threatened. It’s easy to win an election when your voter base is so violent that they force your opponent to flee the State for his and his family’s safety.
