kelly Tony Hawk: Pro Straiter

[–] D61@hexbear.net 13 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Ever seen a movie where there's a chase scene with Fan Boats? You know, those flat bottomed boats with huge fans on the back used in shallow water and swamps? At some point, the fan boats will run full speed overland and back into the water...

Just strap a bunch of fans to the tops of the containers ships and do a sick grind across that bit of land there. Problem solved.

interesting that all the maps where someone goes "why don't they just build a canal/truck it through the desert?" leave out the fact that Dubai is literally right there practically on the Strait.

Elon Musk could fix this problem easily with giant ultra hyper space teslavator that goes to the moon. The oil can be retrieved back after the moon mission by his robots all of which will be handbuilt personally by him on the moon. I am sure he can optimize this solution with his epic intellect right grok?

I thought you were gonna say submarine.

[–] Trying2KnowMyself@hexbear.net 13 points 18 hours ago

This won’t work - all it takes is one gust of wind catching the sails and they’ll get blown back into the strait.

Maybe we could revive Project Plowshare and nuke a channel through UAE.

it's ridiculous that every ship isn't carrying FlowBerry Fizz and four Shockwave Grenades shrug-outta-hecks
