You have 50 years and unlimited resources to completely drain the Atlantic ocean or the Earth will explode. How do you do it?


  1. With unlimited resources, I would arrange to have the Atlantic Ocean and the Dead Sea's names switched in every record that has ever been written. Then I would drain the new Atlantic Ocean. Crisis averted.

  2. Build a new earth with unlimited resources easy

  3. Redirect a large asteroid to hit the mid-Atlantic fault, cracking the Earth in two and evaporating the ocean into space. Easy!

  4. Can't be done. I spend 50 years and unlimited resources throwing the craziest party Earth has ever seen.

  5. Good thing the oceans are separated by impregnable walls that won't allow the water to spill back into the Atlantic when we're done draining it.

  6. Give it to California. Good as gone.

  7. Better buy one of those crazy straws and start drinking.

  8. Ask the netharlands if they want more land

  9. Just pull the plug at the bottom and let it drain. It shouldn't take more than 6 months, 8 months tops. There will be a few lakes left but that's cool.

  10. Draining the atlantic would kill us all anyway, so I'd rather just use my unlimited resources to get us to mars.
