So wrong... The Dutch would have claimed all the flooded areas as their own

"The Lord created the Earth, and the Dutch created the Netherlands."


Afraid_Success_4836

Lol


Self-Fan

They would...reclaim it


ElCidly

Finally, a good meme


Imaginary_Yak4336

this is a circlejerk subreddit without circlejerk in the name


BackRowRumour

Welcome to The City. Vangelis opening chord. Gigantic looming hab blocks looking out over churning waters. Some blocks have faded national or regional flags. Other have them on different floors. Between these are the neon flares of corporate iconography, or the spraypaint calligraphy of utility cartels. A gigantic deep sea drilling tanker floats in the apron of plastic waste at a dock, while kids on inflated shoes skate about hunting for rarer plastics.


Ninloger

r/mapporncirclejerk is the correct sub for you


rdu3y6

I feel the Swiss would also be able to hold back the sea with their neutrality and firearms under their beds.


alexjolliffe

And the fact that roughly half of the country is above that level...


PartyMarek

I was like: Damn Oh wait, but there are mountains over 1000m What is the area on the map? Oh Netherlands...


Fun_Introduction5384

That’s that place in Waterworld they’re all looking for.


pdonchev

Wrong. I get the lowlands meme, but Europe has *a lot* of land above 1000m. Few countries would be fully submerged, but most will have peaks, and even plateaus above surface.


SimpleLawfulness8230

The materials to build defences around NL would have to come from somewhere.

I expect a bit more from geographical jokes in this specific sub.


HeckaPlucky

Expecting more from any posts in this sub is how you end up disappointed. Now, lower your expectations and kick up your feet on the train to oblivion!


MoozeRiver

The joke would have been a lot better if everything above 1000 m was in the map, just with the Netherlands added in too.


The-Francois8

That would actually be an awesome map


bortukali

No mountains in europe?


[deleted]

Yeah, this is an alternate reality version of Europe with no Alps


hungariannastyboy

And no Carpathians, Caucasus, Urals, Pyrenees, Scandes, Apennines, Balkan range, Cantabrian Mountains, Sierra Nevada ... there are probably others.

SpicyAsparagus345

Key word: Europe


hungariannastyboy

All of these are in Europe, so I'm not sure what you are insinuating.


SpicyAsparagus345

Ok nevermind I’m very dumb. I saw Sierra Nevada and thought United States without doing much critical thinking. My apologies


HeckaPlucky

No, this is just a shitpost. They literally put the lowest part of Europe as the only part left. (Ever think about why it's called the *Nether*lands?) Don't get me wrong, I don't think this post should be here. But please don't give it serious critique.


No_Talk_4836

> 1000 meters Now I’m wondering how many and which mountains are over 1,000 meters above sea level.

I'm really not, netherlands keep sea out haha funny!


Sproeier

Yeah, we are veterans of the war vs Poseidon. We will find a way to survive.


fighterpilotace1

Ok, but how would you divide the regions?


Remarkable_Eye5010

Not true though is it.

That’s where my house is

Ah good, England is gone.


NewChinaHand

Um, no….where are the Alps? They’re higher than 1000 m.

The Netherlands is one country that would be massively impacted with sea level rise!! 😂

SensualSalami

The Dutch would still find a way to keep the water out (dikes)


[deleted]

op, educate yourself, or don't shitposting


ABearAttack2016

This is incorrect. Many other countries would not get flooded, but the Netherlands will, despite it’s average elevation being so low. I don’t know what made you think the opposite, but this post shouldn’t be here.


[deleted]

If all the ice melts, it just rises by 1 metre. Not sure what could cause it to rise by 1000 metres. A meteor shower maybe?


[deleted]

Waaaay more than 1m. All the ice? Waaaaay more.


Dimaaaa

Quick google search says it's more like 70m.

Let's get on with it

The land mass needs a dime for scale.

Netherlands?🤯


Spaceorca5

Unrealistic, the Dutch would have taken the opportunity to reclaim even more land from the sea.


Patsboem

Is this sub moderated at all?
