How about a bridge between Turkey and Hungary?

[-] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 19 points 5 months ago

That's just called a fork.

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

If you see a fork in the road...

[-] MudSkipperKisser@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

By god you’ve just solved world hunger!

[-] Potatisen@lemmy.world 16 points 5 months ago

Is this what the tunnel jews were working on?

Connecting New York and York?

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

Whoa, this might be bigger than all of us.

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Nope, connecting Zeeland, Netherlands with New Zealand.

[-] bitwaba@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago

As a Georgian, I approve of this project.

[-] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] bitwaba@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

We are all Georgians on this blessed day

[-] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I am definitely choosing the 1700s British Georgians.

[-] Rusty@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago

If I understand it correctly, people from Georgia the country actually call it Sakartvelo.

[-] cone_zombie@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Yeah, and Finland is Suomi, but you never hear them saying "I'm Suomian"

[-] flop_leash_973@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago

Because the world cannot allow Georgia Prime to be reconciled. They would be to powerful.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

We split them for a reason.

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 12 points 5 months ago

Why build a tunnel when you could just rename a place somewhere closer and pave a road?

[-] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Because it is less fun

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago

How do you decide which Georgia gets left out?

[-] dukk@programming.dev 1 points 5 months ago

Neither, you do it for both. And then you do the same for the two new Georgias…

[-] Fixbeat@lemmy.ml 12 points 5 months ago

We can get Elon to dig it.

[-] snek_boi@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 months ago

I don’t think we can. He would use it for financial speculation, ~~fire~~ lay off half of the workers, build a barely useful prototype that cannot withstand a baseball, and charge people for blue marks that they’d use while attempting to travel in the tunnel. Elon’s a rich kid that has wasted his father’s emerald mine money. https://stuyspec.com/article/elon-musk-is-hopelessly-incompetent

[-] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 11 points 5 months ago

Wouldn't want to drag the European Georgia back 200 years 😂

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 months ago

finally a place for atlantans to throw chicken bones

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

We’d fill all the streets within a fortnight

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 10 points 5 months ago

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.)

[-] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Two Paris's? I'm sure they are more than 2.

[-] DrWeevilJammer@lemmy.ml 9 points 5 months ago

They clearly do not understand the magmatude of such a project.

It would get so hot that you'd "pop pop!"

[-] mxcory 3 points 5 months ago

Pop what?! What are they trying to to say?!

[-] gmtom@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Doesn't have to be a striaght tunnel. It could follow the curvature of the earth.

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

Fault lines mostly. And Lava.

[-] Toribor@corndog.social 7 points 5 months ago

People get mad when I call it West Georgia.

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

That’s because that’s the part of Georgia closest to Alabama, and we don’t like including them

[-] Nighed@sffa.community 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I believe it would be a 45 (actually 42) min journey under gravity power only?

(Assuming frictionless travel in a vacuum...)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_train

[-] homesnatch@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

At first I read Gravy Train and I was excited.. But then I saw Gravity... but I still want the Gravy.

[-] Nighed@sffa.community 4 points 5 months ago

I mean, you could fill it with gravy, then it would be a gravity gravy train 😆

[-] vodkasolution@feddit.it 5 points 5 months ago

United Lands Of Georgias! ULG! #georgiaSonmymind

[-] meep_launcher@lemm.ee 5 points 5 months ago

!cartographyanarchy@lemm.ee

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Instant sub! This is exactly what I've been looking for.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

I think the better question is why did Russia allow the US State of Georgia to annex land in that area? Did no one think about the transportation issue before hand!?!

[-] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Welcome to Meta-Georgia

[-] Keaipo@fedia.io 2 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] Ostrichgrif@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] Ostrichgrif@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] AutistoMephisto@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

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.
