How about a bridge between Turkey and Hungary?
That’s just called a fork.
If you see a fork in the road…
By god you’ve just solved world hunger!
Is this what the tunnel jews were working on?
Connecting New York and York?
Whoa, this might be bigger than all of us.
Nope, connecting Zeeland, Netherlands with New Zealand.
As a Georgian, I approve of this project.
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.
We are all Georgians on this blessed day
ატამი ყველასთვის!
🍑
I am definitely choosing the 1700s British Georgians.
If I understand it correctly, people from Georgia the country actually call it Sakartvelo.
Yeah, and Finland is Suomi, but you never hear them saying “I’m Suomian”
Because the world cannot allow Georgia Prime to be reconciled. They would be to powerful.
We split them for a reason.

I don’t think we can. He would use it for financial speculation,
firelay 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
Why build a tunnel when you could just rename a place somewhere closer and pave a road?
That solution is Russian af
Because it is less fun
How do you decide which Georgia gets left out?
Neither, you do it for both. And then you do the same for the two new Georgias…
finally a place for atlantans to throw chicken bones
We’d fill all the streets within a fortnight

Wouldn’t want to drag the European Georgia back 200 years 😂
They clearly do not understand the magmatude of such a project.
It would get so hot that you’d “pop pop!”
Pop what?! What are they trying to to say?!
Doesn’t have to be a striaght tunnel. It could follow the curvature of the earth.
Fault lines mostly. And Lava.
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.)
Two Paris’s? I’m sure they are more than 2.
People get mad when I call it West Georgia.
That’s because that’s the part of Georgia closest to Alabama, and we don’t like including them
Anyone have an idea how long that is?
4.7 cm
So…huge?
Damn. I thought I could get the job done, but the requirements are the double to what I have.
At least as long as a banana
10,152 Km between Atlanta and Tbilisi, and ChatGPT gave the pseudocode below as an explanation, which I didn’t double check before making this comment!
# Coordinates for Atlanta, Georgia, USA atlanta_coords = (33.7490, -84.3880) # Coordinates for Tbilisi, Georgia (country) tbilisi_coords = (41.7151, 44.8271) # Calculate the straight line distance through the Earth geopy.distance.great_circle(atlanta_coords, tbilisi_coords).km```That’s wrong, it calculates the surface distance not the distance through the earth, while claiming otherwise. From the
geopy.distance.great_circledocumentation:Use spherical geometry to calculate the surface distance between points.
This would be a correct calculation, using the formula for the chord length from here:
from math import * # Coordinates for Atlanta, West Georgia atlanta_coords = (33.7490, -84.3880) # Coordinates for Tbilisi, Georgia tbilisi_coords = (41.7151, 44.8271) # Convert from degrees to radians phi = (radians(atlanta_coords[0]), radians(tbilisi_coords[0])) lambd = (radians(atlanta_coords[1]), radians(tbilisi_coords[1])) # Spherical law of cosines central_angle = acos(sin(phi[0]) * sin(phi[1]) + cos(phi[0]) * cos(phi[1]) * cos(lambd[1] - lambd[0])) chord_length = 2 * sin(central_angle/2) earth_radius = 6335.439 #km print(f"Tunnel length: {chord_length * earth_radius:.3f}km")A straight tunnel from Atlanta to Tbilisi would be 9060.898km long.
Depends what the great circle function does. But chances are it gives you the arc length between the two points, which would give you the shortest distsnce between them on the surface of the earth.
If you wanted the distance through the earth you would need to work put the central angle of that arc, then use that to work out the remaining edge of the triangle formed between the two cities and the centre of the earth.
I believe it would be a 45 (actually 42) min journey under gravity power only?
(Assuming frictionless travel in a vacuum…)
At first I read Gravy Train and I was excited… But then I saw Gravity… but I still want the Gravy.
I mean, you could fill it with gravy, then it would be a gravity gravy train 😆
United Lands Of Georgias! ULG! #georgiaSonmymind
