If you could redesign the Earth the way you want with a snap.

[Gingerbread Demon]

If you could redesign the Earth with the snap of a finger what would your version of the world be like? Would you change or remove countries, what shape would the planet be?

I do love the idea in this video of a donut Earth

Mind you the climate variances here would be something alarming, not to mention the whole altered day / night cycle.

The only change I would make is to get rid of the fucking humans, we are easily by far the worst thing that has happened to this poor planet.

65 million years ago was no cake walk either.

I would like a bigger, metal-core free planet.

All coastlines stair stepped with each level having docks...so sea level rise and tsunamis are no biggies.

 

[StarCruiser]

Without that metal-core, you have no magnetic field. No radiation protection to speak of, without that so...?

Only works if you mean no humans and probably little else either.

 

[publiusr]

Maybe as a gas giant moon...it supplies a good field.

No snow if possible.

No snow if possible.

Poor animals and plants, no insulation from the cruel frigid temps.

If all the world was a truncated icosahedron, it would just be for me to kick in space. It would also make cartography easier and possibly placate the flat-earthers.

Oh well.

Maybe the mosquitoes will die.

As I actually said, if possible. Snow is an odd phenomenon and I personally find it very frustrating.

 

[Asbo Zaprudder]

Snowflake.

Something for Everyone!

Plus, I agree with no snow!
---Though I do miss the days when we would go to Old Man Peter's House to shovel after a big snow, and he gave us
5 bones each!!! (in 1966!)

Hey could be worse Earth could be like half Coruscant on the northern hemisphere and normal on the south

... bones?? Like (hopefully) soup bones or something? That seems like an odd payment.

American slang for dollars. Like “bucks”, “dough, “lettuce”…

 

[Coops]

Good question. Maybe make it flat, because it currently isn't no matter what those loonies say. I'd also, perhaps, have it supported by four elephants. They could probably perch quite comfortably on the back of a huge turtle.

Oh! Thank you! Well, now I’m embarrassed…

I have of course heard “bucks”, that one is very common. I’ve heard “greenbacks” and “dead presidents”… those are both obviously American, but most of our media comes from the US. I’ve heard another one that starts with S, which I keep forgetting… samolis or samolians or something like that. I’ve even heard “clams”. But I don’t think I’ve ever heard “bones” before.

There sure is a lot of slang for money!

NO need to be embarrassed!!!
We actually have a lot of slang terms for a lot of things.
When I taught First Grade, we had a "Money" unit. For one homework assignment, the kids had to ask their grownups for terms they commonly used. or had heard, to describe money, and write them down and bring them back.
When the assignment was over, we had 31 terms!!!

the "s" term is "simoleons"

Maybe we can start a "Slang Terms for Money" Thread and get some contributions!

Then the world would just be a bunch of creatures sleeping and hunting. Why not just increase human empathy levels enough to fix the problems?

Self-loathing much, JD?

Would welcome this thread as I know many. Be curious to learn more terms around the world.

That starts with parenting.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

That starts with parenting.

In reality yes, that and an education that exposes everyone to different people with different statuses and viewpoints.

In this game, I can just snap and give people that skill set.
