If every human held hands around the equator, it would make a very long line.
If 8 billion people hold hands and every person would take up 1.3m, the line would go around the equator 250 times. About 6 billion would drown.
Solving climate change.
Only if all the billionaires and 1% top polluters are the ones who die
I wish.
True. Still: how much would the sea level rise?
Less than the icecaps melting.
No, a line is when there are people waiting in front of you, not when they're beside you holding your hand.
Would they though? Surely the people on land could hold the weight.
Maybe not across the Pacific, Atlantic maybe. Just fashion a human suspension bridge.
Not if the chain were pulled taut enough.
But if you're a link in a ring chain, isn't pulling just tightening it ?
Well, now both seem right. Can we get a physicist consultation? If you pull a rope bridge from both sides, it raises it. But if low enough, that puts you in the water...?
There is a length at which the weight of the rope itself exceeds the force exerted to tighten the rope and not break it. So basically you can have a tight shirter rope, longer saggy rope, or you have 2 ropes.
In that case people would be dismembered, and then drown.

The Coke commercial was the first thing that came to mind even after all these years. I never knew as a kid I was watching a mass murder/suicide.
What? Did I miss something?
teach the world to swim
Just look at this picture, all the water around the world. It is swimming already, isn't it?
