Find a school bus in the morning and just get on it.
Funny you should say that… they’re the ones that sent me here.
Just trigger an ice age. Sea levels will drop. Plus think of all the extra ice you can live on.
Did I hear nuclear winter??
Can I put that extra ice in my drink?
No, but you can put the extra ice on top of the ice that is your drink. You’re in an ice age, after all.
It would work better on the west coast, tbh. Ecological disaster, aside from practicality issues.
Biggest stopper is we dont have trillions of tons of sand and the oil money to move it, Dubai
So you’re saying Dubai will pay for it
No im saying Dubai does stuff like that because they have all the sand and enough oil money
Where do I start looking for a school bus in the morning?
Random adult gets on local school bus in the morning. Ends up in jail.

Reverse Turing Test + Dead Internet. If your comment is stupid enough to be mistaken for a bot, are you really human?
Superman. Superman’s stopping us. The deadbeat dad version.
Hold on y’all, we -justyoulistenhere- get a buncha bulldozers and push thems dirt into the water, just like Ja-apan did right? And get this! Then there’s MORE AMERICA!
Drive through a few underpopulated towns and tell me that there’s no place for more people in America. Empty downtowns, empty houses, empty factories… There might be economic reasons why people don’t want to or can’t live in these places, but the one thing we absolutely have enough of in this country is space.
Only issue is pussy ass environmentalists fuck the fish get the l00tz
Sell these houses to who, Terraman?
I mean of we just blew up the Appalachia’s that oughta get us the materials required
Gonna have to put the water somewhere though, I vote right onto Texas because fuck Texas.
Fun fact, Appalachian has some of the world’s oldest mountains, older than the atlantic ocean, the Scottish Highlands are part of the Appalachian range.
Kinda funny considering how it was mostly scots who ended up settling the mountains during colonization.
Where do you think all of the land in the gulf states came from? The Appalachians used to be much taller…
Interestingly, lack of land.
Do we really need all these mountains?
We will as the sea levels rise. Displacing more water will also NOT help…
No, no, you don’t understand. It’s not displacing, it’s replacing. Less water, more land.
Ah yes, the alchemical art of literally transmuting H2O into SiO2 that everyone knows.
We will just put salt on the water so it dries up
Put the spare water into orbit, where it’ll freeze and give us rings like Saturn!
Omg let’s do that anyway
kepler syndrome go brrrrrrrrrrr :3
especially what with our big beautiful moon, a ring system at an orbit high enough to not immediately endanger any craft we send up would be destabilized into an unrecognizable state very quickly… which would send a good bit of its debris down into dangerous altitudes close to earth x_x;
maybe what we need to do is turn luna into a ring system…?
Just put it where the mountains used to be in a mountain shaped container.
Easy.
It’s actually not quite as crazy as it sounds. OK, it is as crazy as it sounds, but hear me out. Some inventor (Wolf Hilbertz) tried to build an island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea through electrical mineral deposition on metal frames. He based the technique off of how coral plateaus accrete. There’s a fascinating video essay on its attempted construction and failure on YouTube.
Coles notes ending reveal
The plan was pretty half baked and perhaps a bit of a venture capital cash grab attempt, and it turns out that nations also don’t much like the idea of independent micronations popping up near their adjacent sea areas. The video is still very worth a watch if it sounds interesting!
Edit: YT link is fixed. Thanks!
You could also destroy mountains and use the rubble to expand the coast.
It’s really fucking stupid, but it would technically work.
Technically you could dig a huge hole, that would work too lol
Wouldn’t there be a lot of displaced water that needs to go somewhere?
It seems you put the Wikipedia link twice
Should be fixed now, thanks for the heads up!
Clearly never been to Boston
