Our redistribution of mass on the surface has gone a bridge—or a dam—too far.

    Can we combat the rising sea level from climate change by building massive dams?

      Only if you build them quickly, and with the wet end around the oligarchs.

        Building a dam around Musk would be a great way to create Lake Ketamine.

          It’d be a really relaxing lake, until your urethra fails anyway.

      Sure, but it would have to be around the polar ice caps. And even then, I’d guess you’d need a dome to prevent the water from evaporating and going past the dam.

        polar ice caps and a gigantic dome? Sounds a bit like the wet dream of a flat earther

    That’s both horrifying and kind of cool.
