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.
Superman. Superman's stopping us. The deadbeat dad version.
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.
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
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.
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.
Did I hear nuclear winter??
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.
Half of it would be The South, though.
As in, it the South would literally have to rise?
As a Dutch I don't understand this joke
The joke is that we have more land to the north so we don’t have to. We can just invade Canada before we start with polders
I thought you already did that in June 2072?
Looks like everyone is missing your joke.
As an American I'm baffled also
After reading through the comments it could also be related to climate change but what first came to mind was the american housing crisis. Some people seem to think that the housing crisis could be solved by having more room for houses while, how I understand it, it is actually not a problem of available living space but a problem of affordable living space.
A simple map of population density across the US should clearly show that lebensraum is not the problem indeed. It's more a question of places that are both desirable for the opportunities they offer, while being affordable.
lebensraum
Is this a loanword?
I don't think it's a loanword as such, hence my italicising it. I was using it as a reference to the nazi.
Yup, learned of that after.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebensraum
Wikipedia is free, and just a click away.
I'm swiss german and Lebensraum is a word, which is why i asked. Who knew there's some nazi concept associated with it.
Thanks for the link!
By far the best website in the world for over 20 years now, I hope it never dies or enshittifies.
Ask your german friend about the logistics and they'll probably already have a slideshow ready to explain it.
If you're lucky they might have an extra about their vacation to Spain!
Why school bus? Is there a deeper joke here than just sinking a school bus? English is not my primary language...
they're telling them to go to school
Ok, thanks. My thought process was like "Is land also another word for student?"
This is white people twitter, our jokes aren't that funny or creative, unfortunately.
Imagine giving Elon Musk money so you could tell that joke.
I know there are a lot of complete morons out there, but this has to be someone fucking around, right? A little old school trolling just looking for a reaction. Right?
Who knows anymore.
Reverse Turing Test + Dead Internet. If your comment is stupid enough to be mistaken for a bot, are you really human?
