I think that's not actually Pangea (the past supercontinent), but a rendition of [Pangea Proxima](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangaea_Proxima) (the future supercontinent). So just gotta wait a while...

Suddenly I want a Pangea Factorio map.

Imagine how much parking there could be. There would be practically no constraint on parking lot size.

i think during Pangea, the center of the land was a big ass desert, and a very dry one, the network would probably look like a doughnut

Not worth risking, being on same continent as americans.

Conservatives: "See??? Why on EARTH should we invest in rail now when it's just going to be broken up by continental drift in 200 million years? It's woke liberal tax and spend waste!"

Rail network?! That's commie talk. Real patriots would have an interconnected highway system.

Being landlocked would suck.

They would still be bitching and bickering about it.

@Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2026-05-01 07:57
it would also be incredibally hot inland too.

Supposedly in 250 million years, there will be another supercontinent dubbed Pangea Ultima. It’s expected to be inhospitable and wipe out all mammals, so not sure who would be around to build or ride such a future train. Supercontinents suck, as interesting as they may sound. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/volcanic-supercontinent-pangea-ultima-likely-wipe-out-humans-mammals-250-million-years-study/

@AeonFelis@lemmy.world 2026-04-29 23:09
Was there enough fossil fuel to run these trains back then?

@drdiddlybadger@pawb.social 2026-04-29 19:17
I want to see it.

The idea makes me think of [The Centerfuge Brain Project](https://youtu.be/RVeHxUVkW4w) where the doctor, talking about a gondola-type… ride, says, “people would fall asleep, miss their stop, and have another 14 hour ride, and you can imagine the problems that caused.”

Who wants to live that close to the US?
-
@neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works 2026-04-29 21:10
Sure, but only for like, 115million years. Then you'd have to deal with it breaking apart for the next 200 million years.

Do you fuck wit pangaea?
-
@lucullus@discuss.tchncs.de 2026-05-01 10:25
And somehow we would still have US americans tell us, that pangea is too big for a usable railway network.
-
@omgboom@lemmy.world 2026-04-29 20:54
Maybe the dinosaurs had a kick ass railway network
-
@MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 2026-05-01 04:33
Dumb question, but would Pangea be flat? Or would it still have the mountains that form by the continents colliding?
-
@Zerush@lemmy.ml 2026-04-30 06:39
In some millon of years we have it again.

@sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 2026-04-29 23:44
Where did these mountains end up??? \

flat pangea theory

Wait, I can see where the idea of a flat earth in an endless ocean comes from ;->

Companies would still make flying around the waterworld the default. Claiming "sound issues" for the people below....
