HexMachina Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Question prompted by a fascinating debate between @larrytheimp and @dmc515, some good points made on both sides Personally I think they should be closer, and the only obvious solution is to attach giant magnets to Hawaii and pull the islands gently towards Norway. This seems perfectly logical and reasonable. I would need some opinions on how strong the magnets should be though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A True Kaniggit Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I'd do it with a very large crane. Build the crane somewhere in North America, use it to scoop up Hawaii, swivel 180 degrees, then set it down in the Atantic. The best thing about this method? You end up with a very large crane to move things with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rorshach Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 It would indeed be SAD! if Hawaii came here. I mean, just looking out my window, I see rain and -2C. And wind. Would kill Hawaii as a tourist destination for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure, if the folks back then knew about package tourists, god would have send them to Egypt,and not locusts.The Bible would make so much more sense, if airplanes full of those descended from the skies to plague the land of the old pharaohs. Well, and Angelina Jole and Madonna travelling there to adopt all the first borns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we should move Hawaii to Australia instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just didn't have the energy or intellectual capability to make it happen, so I'm grateful and humbled that my life's most daunting question is being investigated!

The Marquis de Leech Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Foolish people. The obvious solution is to make Iceland and Hawaii swap names. Thus making Hawaii and Norway closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Which Tyler Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 That would make Hawaii and Sweden closer, but Hawaii and Norway would be just as far apart as ever. ETA: must learn to read before replying, you swapped with Iceland... Not sure why you'd rename a supermarket brand though... Erm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Arryn Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I’ll bet Alex Jones has asked and answered this question before. Something something liberal elites something something Islam something something. Edit: but will the mainstream media have mentioned it? Of course not.

Fragile Bird Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 <sighs> Why is there so much societal pressure to be in a relationship? Maybe the truth is they're just not that into each other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DireWolfSpirit Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Ha ! I found something. Hawaii and Norway are so close that the 2002 Miss Aloha Hula Dance Champion is of Norwegian (part) descent https://norwegianheritage.org/miss-aloha-hula-is-norwegian/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myshkin Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Why are we even wasting our brain power on such an inconsequential “problem”? Hawaii and Norway are just fine where they are. What we need to do is get back to figuring out how to move Australia farther away from everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squab Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 The Pacific plate is carrying Hawaii northwest-ish. Not the quickest route but it is closer to Norway each year, which is moving a lot slower in an arc towards Hawaii. Unfortunately Australia is slowly headed towards the northern hemisphere craziness.
