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.
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.
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.

Oh shit, was that a shark?โ

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?
