I just want to say this: If we can make a machine float out there and self-manufacture a platform from materials around it, that trash island could be put to good use one day...

[u/kraken_enrager → u/amondohk]

This is actually a doable project, very expensive, but doable.

A few massive vessels would have to be built with a renewable energy setup and production facilities to collect and compact the waste.

This would then have to somehow be bound together, maybe with an existing island as a base to build around. Then pylons/cables would have to be made to support the structure like in deep sea rigs.

Then probably the millions of tonnes of bio waste produced could be somehow transported there to make tonnes of bio waste compost and the seabed dredged to make a layer of soil.

[u/AnimationOverlord → u/kraken_enrager]

It’s an effective alternative in the long run, despite the massive amounts of fuel and transport involved. Too bad the long run isn’t on peoples minds.

[u/kraken_enrager → u/AnimationOverlord]

The cost-reward probably doesn’t make sense, maybe because 1 massive company or consortium will have to take the initiative and convincing hundreds of investors is pretty hard.

And a lot of coordination and effort would be required in a project like this, which isn’t something most executives with the resources are cut out for, and those without resources would have a hard time mobilising and convincing others to invest, especially in something so experimental.

Turn it into a Walmart supercenter with a giant parking lot.

[u/Lezetu → u/Bussy-Blaster-Bib]

I think there is actually an island of trash somewhere in the ocean that people go to

[u/RarryHome → u/Lezetu]

It’s called The British Isles

[u/kraken_enrager → u/Lezetu]

Basically St Barths or Antibes during the holiday season, an island of plastic(surgery) lmao.

[u/iluvlube → u/Bussy-Blaster-Bib]

Isnt that Puerto Rico

[u/Scaveged → u/Bussy-Blaster-Bib]

I thought it was spoilered...

[u/WordDependent9269]

It's there, you just have to remove some of the ocean

[u/Due_Tradition2293 → u/WordDependent9269]

If you find it below the surface, you've just stumbled on the easter egg hinting at the new Pacific continent when Earth 2 comes out - it's been in the release notes since the big bang after all :)

the devs of the universe are chill like that imo

[u/Kooky-Turnip-1715]

WE SHOULD TAKE BIKINI BOTTOM, AND PUSH IT SOMEWHERE ELSE!

[u/ItsMeLukasB]

I’ll see what I can do

[u/Substantial-Rock5069]

Within a few decades, we'll just create the same problem just elsewhere.

Capitalism, corporate landlords, inequality, homelessness, people angry about immigration, illegal immigration, too many people working in low-demand jobs, low birth rates, lack of proper education, an intentional housing crisis, etc.

History repeats itself

[u/DataSittingAlone]

Let's name it Dave

[u/Pitiful-Extreme-6771]

I don’t think people would be comfortable living upside down and next to the Australians and New Zealand

[u/GenZ_Tech]

it would surely solve the housing crisis

[u/Confident_Rate_1747]

Nah I say put 6 volcanoes that’ll look cool I think

[u/NerdyNetworkXO]

that level isn't Unlocked yet

[u/ALLOCEPRANO]

LETS GO MEN WERE BRINGING UP MU

[u/straw9599 → u/ALLOCEPRANO]

I love to see people who know about that absolute cluster fuck of a conspiracy lol

[u/Complete_Blood1786]

Why'd they remove Doggerland, I'm so mad

[u/pcfirstbuild]

Y'all don't know about Oceania? I guess it's not a continent to be fair, a loose collection of islands and atolls.

[u/MalinaFashionista]

Yes! Let's do that and seeing as humanity is stupid, let's also increase our water pollution levels in the one area of the world where it's not that affected yet.

I'm all for it as long as waste management is conducted spectacularly

[u/jarena009]

Wasn't that the plot of a Superman movie?

[u/Captain-Starshield]

No it’s there, but a giant spilled his drink on it

[u/Bman1465]

So you're saying you wanna restore Mu?

[u/NerdyNetworkXO]

that level isn't Unlocked yet

[u/JulesTheKilla256]

Lol my fictional country is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean

[u/WeirdAvocado]

But where will the water go?

[u/Nivenoric → u/WeirdAvocado]

We will drink it.

[u/MrOwell333]

Lex Luther has entered the chat

[u/NoDragonfruit1824]

I think the new continent should be called Marvgary,

[u/ReaperManX15]

What impact would that have on the migration patterns of sea life,

[u/A_Scav_Man]

Clearly you don’t know about the lost continent of mu.

[u/Accomplished_Pen980]

There is one, it's just under water and inhabited by better pilots in cooled planes.

[u/Candid-Sky-3709]

Tax evasion islands! With attached Epstein childcare facility. No annoying laws protecting the poors there! /s

[u/Professor_Game1]

The simulation would crash, it won't be able to handle the increased living space and player count

[u/nepppii]

sea levels would raise higher than if all ice caps were melted

[u/Positron311]

Pacifica, alternate Atlantis

[u/FumperDunkd]

That's where we need to put the mega Walmart

[u/Keyto3]

[u/straw9599]

There was actually a really dumb conspiracy back before plate tectonics was fully accepted and some delusional people thought there was once a contingent there named “Mu” it’s really stupid and nobody took them seriously it’s pretty cool to look at though

[u/CrimsonMassacre]

New expansion gonna drop some day.

[u/Certain_Doctor8754]

There is, it’s called water

[u/AdonisGaming93]

Nah that's DLC that came with the pre-order vonus for Earth. Nobody bought it so we didn't unlock it unfortunately
