Better watch out for China coming over to claim it.
Historical engravings in the tomb of Qin Shi Huang depict him foreseeing the rise of an island off the coast of Japan 2234 years after his death, to be claimed by his successors.
What’s the Chinese character for dibs?
So fucking stupid they try and pull that shit lol
I can’t tell if this is real and china is already calling dibs, or if you made it up right now.
With the cunning use of flags?
Problem is, they can also back it up with guns.
Are they able to borrow one?
Too late, boomers already bought it all and are renting it out
Dibs.
Who is calling dibs
Already called my land agent.
Dear Leader Xi, of course.
Here, we can see another illustration of the difference in philosophy between the modern Chinese and Japanese production and manufacturing culture. Japanese island architects have been carefully cultivating this undersea mount for generations, using painstaking traditional techniques, which are only now showing true signs of paying off; in contrast, Chinese island architects almost exclusively stick to rapid-fill dredging combined with concrete pours on top of coral reefs, which are generally considered to be a far less elegant and lower quality way of producing an island.
Maybe a testament to the effects of the uber nationalistic, hyper-competitive nature of the chinese economy. Get nitpicky about the how of what you’re going to do and someone else will take the contract. Get too good at what you do and you risk government assimilation.

Rawr.
Am I the only one seeing Godzilla here?
This is probably not good news, but damn, that’s fuckin cool
Why, is it dangerous?
Because China will claim that it’s their hereditary rightful property.
I’m def gonna caveat this right up front by saying it’s a reasonable, non-racist joke based on recent behaviors and conflicts, just as much as it’s sadly funny to make similar jokes about the US invading countries full of brown people and oil. Sometimes things are bitterly funny because they’re true.
If you are trying to build on it or roast marshmallows.
New land is always dangerous
At this point, I’m assuming it’s a symptom of some kind of environmental catastrophe
Pretty sure that’s a regular ol’ volcano
A regular new volcano maybe?
oh sure, we’re supposed to believe a volcano on an ELECTION year is just totally coincidental
Wake up, sheeple! The politicians are all in the pocket of Big Volcano!
But it is a Japanese volcano and they are not in an election year.
Can too much current events cause ptsd related delusions?
Maybe take a news break my friend.
Or read a history book and learn about the truly horrific things humanity has done over the past 3000+ years to put current events in perspective. Or read something about the universe and realize how incredibly insignificant and meaningless the entirety of humanity is. Or get drunk
I did just downloaded ”Between the World and Me” by Ta-Nehisi Coates. Hoping for some time to start it tomorrow. Cheers!
It’s dangerous to anyone directly by it as it happens and in the form of pumice rafts if any where created, but that’s about it.
Depending upon the composition and how much material gets built up, it will likely erode away fairly quickly and may pose a hazard when not visible but still just under the waves or something.
I don’t think Valcanos are effected by climate change. They do release a fair amount of CO2 and can effect climate change, but I don’t think the other direction has any effect. Maybe fracking or something can cause it, but this kind of thing is expected to happen frequently in this area. It’s nothing to be concerned about.
The CO2 isn’t the problem, it’s the sulfur gases. They basically do the opposite of CO2. When Krakatoa errupted, it lowered global temperatures by 0.5 C. It canceled summer and caused famines. When large volcanoes erupt they don’t cause a climate catastrophe, they ARE the climate.
Anyway, here’s a neat video so you’re not just believing a stranger on the internet.
Given the current situation, a little global temperature lowering would be very welcome.
Need a Bond villain to set off their volcano lair

Not sure but I think you mean affect instead of effect. But what’s funny is this is a rare instance where it works with either word.
You know, I don’t know which I meant either. Usually there is a clear difference, but not here. Weird.
Facebook comments be like “why are we sending money to Japan to build an island? We deserve the new island more! America first!”
Dibs, called it
Aww so cute

No I’m fucking cares.
imagine not only being a dick, but a stupid dick
How about you fucking care about yourself for once rather than taking put your anger online
Work on yourself, meditation can help with that
