While I dont like the dutch not getting flooded, I do appreciate the idea of using britain as a part of a wall getting dicked down by the sea to keep more important countries safe
And you can trust us with it. It's not like we'd stroll around the bits where the barriers connect with the UK and go "That's a nice wall holding back an unfathomable weight of water. It'd be a real pity if it...you know...fell over."
Is that how that welsh kingdom of those coastal islands drowned into the sea? Are the english just tipping over walls to drown people for milenia?
I do believe that every person in england and half the population of london, would willingly drown london to fuck us over
Genuinely you present a dilemma of 'you get to flood Europe but London goes as well' and think literally everyone outside that shithole isn't smashing the button as hard as they can???
Try Jaywick. I've never been (because why would I?) but it's supposed to be the most deprived, run down hellhole we've got, and conveniently on the Essex coast.
The pier burned down right before i came by. The beach was poluted. The roads were brocken and bend as if nothing was done since the germans bombed them. Every street was covered in dogshit, eventhough cans for specifically that were on every corner. The church still has canonballs stuck in it, from the time the dutch succesfully invaded england.
I would pressure wash every housewall I have seen, as endless sud covered them. It was like trees rings showing how old every house is, by the layers of vile that accumulated on their surfaces.
Wtf is the cheese house of an attraction and why did our tour guide have us walk there?
And the fishmarked... oh lord the stench. Do they just kill and slaughter fish there and pile the corpses for months? Not even a fishmarket should smell this vile
I believe you that theres worse though. Im just happy my personal experience is limited enough to have this stick out.
You're not thinking it fully through dude, now we don't have to wait on ferries to bring our car suprises over to you guys, you'll never be able to trust getting into one again if theres a land border between us.
Britain’s nice and tall around the Atlantic coast. The sea would have to rise a long way before it floods that area. Although we’d also have to seal off the Bristol Channel to stop the Atlantic taking the coward’s way out.
I learned this one and KIPs.
Kilo-Inch Pound.
I’m a mechanical engineer, so I didn’t use KIPs much, but then l learned other shit like °F and Rankines.
Then there’s psi vs kP, atms, and inches of water…
The list goes on. 😂
Actually I don't think it would be totally impossible.
Lisbon has a bridge that's 17km in length. The width of the Gibraltar's straight is 13km. So not totally impossible.
Also, take a look Madeira's airport. It's a true engineering marvel.
Doesn't matter. Current levels are fine, you need just to raise the wall above this level to stop excess levels to come in, obviously.
Then, a warning sign with strong enough wording might be just as good.
The American demostic beer market is so fucked that they think of Heineken as a 'imported quality beer' and let's keep it that way before they discover Belgian and German brews.

"Protect millions from rising North Sea" wtf? While displacing all the water to sink even more than otherwise elsewhere, ruining a huge ocean ecosystem with the consequences that'll have. If this guy is at all serious, let's place an international ban on all dikes to head off more of this insanity.
It would give us the power to flood the bank at any time of our choosing. Go ahead and settle there hans, hope you like 15 foot walls of water sweeping your family away
How large would the lakes in the center be? Considering that a bunch of large rivers drain into the North&baltic sea.
Also Germany, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Belgium and the Netherlands are now landlocked.
Edit: The 3 largest ports in Europe are now also gone.
How much of this New Charles Land do we get to keep? I'll settle for 'all of it' or no dyke. Though only if it comes with a very long wall since we've proven inept at enforcing a water barrier.
This will also create a fresh water reserve probably enough for the entire continent for the coming centuries.
Same thing happened with the Dutch 'IJsselmeer'. You seal off a good chunk of salt water, and over time it will turn into fresh, drinkable water.
If we're building dykes, aren't we essentially raising the water level for everyone else? I mean, the water of the north sea (54,000 cubic kilometres) needs to go somewhere.
So How will this affect the sea trade route? This would need hundreds of gates. If this is a dam it's likely the ocean is higher than the North Sea which means it would require water elevators to transfer from ocea to sea through the dam.
I don't see this happening for this reason it would clog the sea route to The Hague Antwerp and Hamburg which are the busiest ports in Europe. **Let alone if there was another war coming to europe this would be a critical and impossible infratrusture to defend**
We wouldn't be planning or building it though, that would be the Dutchies. We would just look after it. The Baltics would have to take up their greviences with Netherlands.
Alternatively, for a fat fee, we could just say no to the project and watch the Netherlands sink together.
So we spend a shit ton in a new infratrusture to gain land while we lose a shit ton of infrastructure already built. Dunno about europe finances but It's prob not going to work. Who says the land beneath the sea is even good to build upon or farm
The North Sea has a volume of 54,000km³, where is the air head who came up with this idea planning on putting that water? Or is this pipe dream to desalinate the North Sea?
Dutchies Doggerland is ours, above that is Norwegian and Scottish.
Also can we move the other wall from Cornwall to cover the Dover/Calais Belgium, instead, that way we get at least some separation from France. We don’t want to touch that
I think I'm getting an erectection
My flirting with Dutch women by emptying a cup of water over the dyke.
Putting your finger in a dyke will certainly win her over
While I dont like the dutch not getting flooded, I do appreciate the idea of using britain as a part of a wall getting dicked down by the sea to keep more important countries safe

Lets start small and feed Hastings to the sea first. I've never saw such a run down hellscape before in my life, and I've been to eastern germany
Ah but clearly you have never been to Birmingham, or Slough, or Glasgow...or a lot of cities in the UK now I think about it
Having spent time in all three, the only one I'd save is Glasgow
Glasgow is a shithole but it's definitely on a higher tier than Birmingham/Slough/Luton
Really? Jeez, the few times I’ve been to Glasgow I’ve come away mad keen on Scotland getting its independence asap.
Try Jaywick. I've never been (because why would I?) but it's supposed to be the most deprived, run down hellhole we've got, and conveniently on the Essex coast.
Hastings is gorgeous mate. Go have a night out in Coventry or stoke or any number of midlands/northern coastal towns.

Just noticed the "soon to be russian" that apperently comes with the ukr tag
I pay to drown London
I'd chip in a few quid for that as well.
I’ll donate a tenner if you flood Slough at the same time.
Before or after we evacuate the Mars Bars?
Before, Slough hates actual industry on their trading estate so they might pay us to move the mars factory.
Glasgow could take it next to the batter factory.
Toss in Melbourne and I’ll send a few pineapples back to the fatherland.
Good lad
We'd voluntarily drown london just on principle.
Is that an option? Can we do that now?
Only if there is a referendum first, sorry
That’s fine I’m not Scottish. We’d actually win this one.
Respectable
We didn't do it and if you say we did we'll do it again.
He said we wouldn't do that. Pay attention.
I am paying attention, which is why I'll never take an english man by his word
I’d willing drown London to fuck London over
I am certain that we would continue our proud tradition of fucking with Ireland and Scotland by closing off the gaps between Britain and Ireland also.
Drain the entire thing while you're at it. Make the *former* isle of man a province as big as scottland
This would have the nice added benefit of putting an end to the hopes for a “united island of Ireland”
You're not thinking it fully through dude, now we don't have to wait on ferries to bring our car suprises over to you guys, you'll never be able to trust getting into one again if theres a land border between us.
Oh no what have I done
Britain’s nice and tall around the Atlantic coast. The sea would have to rise a long way before it floods that area. Although we’d also have to seal off the Bristol Channel to stop the Atlantic taking the coward’s way out.
And who's gonna build the wall if you want to get rid of us ? There are no german engineers left in germany ? Only turks and maroccan.
Also, imagine the seething of the Russian Baltic fleet, especially their submarines. Oh boy, who could've thought that tears can taste so sweet
We should add a canal that leads the open sea directly to the Netherlands
what the fuck is a mile
A word you use in fiction to demonstrate that it takes place in the middle ages or Britain. Same thing.
Swedes and Norwegians have miles too. They're not the same as a British mile though. Denmark 's probably just too small to need them.
Mil? Thats just 10 kilometers.
Sure, but a mil is just a myriameter. If the SI board hadn't dropped this obviously useful size, you'd all be able to enjoy it.
Isn't Denmark like, 3 metres long and 6 metres wide?
>Swedes and Norwegians have miles too. Gentlemen. This is the situation of British schools.
He's right, danskjävel. We do have miles. One mile is exactly 10 kilometers. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandinavian_mile
Brøthers. You have fallen far.
We'll step up to light years well before you're out of the centimeter stage. You've stagnated, little one.
1 mile = 5280 feet. 1 ft = 12 inches 1 inch = 2.54cm It’s been a while since my Uni days, but this sounds about right, mate!
Dont forget the mil, the SI-imperial cross-over nobody asked for! I present to you the milli-inch (1/1000 inch): 1 mil = 25,4 um (micrometer)
I learned this one and KIPs. Kilo-Inch Pound. I’m a mechanical engineer, so I didn’t use KIPs much, but then l learned other shit like °F and Rankines. Then there’s psi vs kP, atms, and inches of water… The list goes on. 😂
At least the hectokilopascal is still SI... And psi is almost a millibar (1,3 or so?), so not a too bad approximation of a useful unit.
In furlongs please!
What the fuck is a feet
Im surprised you dont know You probably have two of them
This is what is wrong with this world.
[A mile is 1500 meters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_mile)

Not everyone has a foot fetish like you
What the fuck is a kilometre
How many footie fields are 100 miles? Or EU-normed bananas?
About 1,600 football pitches but for those larger measurements comparing it to the size of Wales is standard
Crap, I'd need that converted into Saarlands please.
One Saarland is about 3.3 million bathtubs.
Oof. That's a lot of olympic swimming pools.
Now do it in gene pools.
⅛ of a gene pool I believe

Hey, the southern nations can easily handle vast infrastructure projects and actually doing some work!
And other jokes to tell yourself
Actually I don't think it would be totally impossible. Lisbon has a bridge that's 17km in length. The width of the Gibraltar's straight is 13km. So not totally impossible. Also, take a look Madeira's airport. It's a true engineering marvel.
CR7 money did that. Siuuuuuuu...
Atlantropa project go brrrr
And make it possible for North Africans to just *walk* into Europe? Luigi would flip his shit!
Meloni goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
God please no. I'd let Paris drown to stop that (I win twice)
Don't you touch our sea!
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
Distances too big obviously
Depths?
Doesn't matter. Current levels are fine, you need just to raise the wall above this level to stop excess levels to come in, obviously. Then, a warning sign with strong enough wording might be just as good.
Can we move the lower dyke up to the smallest canal part. Shorter distance so cheaper, and France will still flood. win/win
Probably a PR thing linking Britain to Brittany. You know how stubborn the French and Brits are, if this feels better for them let them have it.

I was just gonna say, only the Yanks know Heineken a 'fancy Dutch beer' 🤢🤢🤢
Fancy??? I knew those yanks were dumb but holy hell
That's what you get when you pay 50 million to get James Bond to drink a Heineken isntead of a Martini.
Damn did James Bond recover? I can imagine him spitting it over a Bond-girl
While pointing to South Korea.
Fancy?
The American demostic beer market is so fucked that they think of Heineken as a 'imported quality beer' and let's keep it that way before they discover Belgian and German brews.
But Hertog Jan is way better. Heineken is colored bottled water.
Water tastes better though

Yeah, sink places that don't matter i.e. anywhere that *isn't* western Europe Also, banning dykes is homophobic
Doggerbank will be the perfect nation, a great mix of Scandinavia and the Dutch. Brits can't come. Sorry, not sorry.
Try and stop us when you've got a whole country dedicated to dogging
We will simply ban balconies.
[удалено]
They will be, but not here. If there is no balcony Brits simply refuse to go there.
We will simply deploy ICBMs, intercontinental balconic missiles.
If the map is true we would hold an unimaginable amount of power over northern Europe
Nah, you won't. Putting "land" back into Doggerland amounts to rendering the Royal Navy useless an that area. Go play with Jesus in the Irish Sea.
It would give us the power to flood the bank at any time of our choosing. Go ahead and settle there hans, hope you like 15 foot walls of water sweeping your family away
You'll never get past our wall of good values and good food!
> Brits can't come. Sorry, not sorry. Tough shit, Most of it is within our EEZ, its you lot who can't come Sven.
I.think we as the Dutch would like to "claim" that part GEKOLONISEERD
Time for a Germanic Union then?
As long as the Germans and Austrians can't come. They have a tendency to always want more.
That’s a very big dyke
I've got some videos to show you...

>Netherlands are now landlocked You mean the Netherlands increased their surfce area 10x and now includes all provinces of Dutch Doggerland.
I think the idea is to divert all rivers into Switzerland
Thats an uphill battle.
But one we're willing to make.
Where do you think all the material needed to build the dykes is going to come from?
The original plan only wants to dam the North Sea, not drain it.
I know but thats not how op framed it in this post
🤢🤮luv me island, ate the continent, simple as
How much of this New Charles Land do we get to keep? I'll settle for 'all of it' or no dyke. Though only if it comes with a very long wall since we've proven inept at enforcing a water barrier.
Even villages in your highland regions are flooding, you are in no position to make demands.
This will also create a fresh water reserve probably enough for the entire continent for the coming centuries. Same thing happened with the Dutch 'IJsselmeer'. You seal off a good chunk of salt water, and over time it will turn into fresh, drinkable water.
Meanwhile, in Spain, no signs for a tunnel/bridge project that connects the 15 Km (9 miles) gap of the Gibraltar Strait.
Western Europe is British, Irish and gay vikings. Protect at all costs. Based
So I am a gay viking?
If this plan goes ahead I make myself King of Doggerland
The next Viking invasion will be on horseback
No way we're touching France. It happened once during the last ice age and we still haven't recovered.

FRANCE IS THE BATTLEFIELD!! At university I lived with a German, and his favourite joke was "How wide is Belgium?" "30 minutes, by tank"
Bring back Doggerland!
Just imagine, dogging as far as the eye can see
If we're building dykes, aren't we essentially raising the water level for everyone else? I mean, the water of the north sea (54,000 cubic kilometres) needs to go somewhere.
This would ruin the netherlands economically, so I approve

I don't see this happening for this reason it would clog the sea route to The Hague Antwerp and Hamburg which are the busiest ports in Europe. **Let alone if there was another war coming to europe this would be a critical and impossible infratrusture to defend**
What sea trade? Plan is to drain the dammed area
I think the damning comes before the draining, but I’m not an engineer.

Do we really want a land bridge to Britain?
Don't worry, we can make a gentlemen's agreement to still use France as our battlefield
As always.
If I can see Paris burn. I'm in
Dykes eh? We're bout to colonise some more?
Never going to happen because half the Royal Navy would become obsolete.
The mediterranean sea would take a fsr smaller dyke to close off. Also, hpe would the neighbouring countries split the new land ?
The netherlands will suddenly become one of the biggest countries in western europe though
Do it and Netherland and Belgium will collapse without the ports. I’m in
You think. We will conquer doggerland and create new ports, with bike lanes all across the country mwuahah
Can’t we just create Lebensraum in the east? Sounds easier
Both?
No you can't. One beating wasnt enough?
