Sure, but its fun to speculate!

The English language has words and grammar for speculation, “will” is not one of them.

I thought the pacific was getting smaller and the Atlantic was getting larger? I would expect the America’s to meet with east Asia.

Okay. Glad I’m not the only one and I can’t believe I had to scroll so far.

From what the wikipedia page tells, under this hypothesis atlantic will stop widening in about 125 millions years, and begin to shrink.

I guess no point in climbing Mount Everest if it’s not going to be the tallest in 250M years. That’s a relief.

It’s comforting to see that the large cities will still exist in 250 million years.

Note it doesn’t say they’re still populated…

what the fuck where is the middle east, did we get erased ??? ^/s^
HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 3 months ago
It’s, strangely, pretty much where you left it, right between India and Africa.
fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 months ago
lmao I kind of see it now, it appears the Arabian peninsula is no longer a peninsula but a tiny bump. Oh well good to know I wasn’t erased

The world will be covered with a whole new set of life forms, humans will be long gone, and there will be no evidence that we ever existed.

They’ll be fossils and a band of pollution akin to the oxygen catastrophe.

A thin layer in the fossil record of iron oxide, microplastic particles, and the occasional Nokia phone.

this made me realize how great this map would be for an alternate history or fantasy setting
the mountain range between north america and africa creates the super interesting situation where the sides are almost entirely separated save for the coast and a teensy tiny bit near cape town that’s sort of crossable, so the coast would see an insane amount of traffic and i could see there being a capital nestled in the mountains next to the passage to cape town.
And of course the indian ocean would be where basically everyone lives, as others have said.ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I DMed a D&D campaign a few years ago for which I drew a map that was just North America with the water level up 300 meters and rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. Nobody noticed it after I let the characters discover the map.
Donkter@lemmy.world 3 months ago
