If we need more living space it's more worth it making floating cities and stuff like that. It would be the largest project mankind would work on and if it fails it would have disastrous implications on the people living on the newly formed land.
Yeah, plus shipping in and out of the Med would be hampered by having to transfer goods over potentially three dams. So much goes through the Suez Canal that damming it would be a logistical nightmare for any cargo going between Europe and Asia (a hell of a lot of cargo).
Yeah, I like the idea of floating cities. We kinda need either better battery technology and more efficient solar panels before that happens though

It is the improvement of reality, I don't see how talking about ideas is a delusional dreamland. They killed people for believing and or proposing the idea that the Earth was round and it actually was. A few good minded scientists were persecuted and jailed for doing that and they were actually right!
Mate too soon. I still get PTSD over the theocratic persecution of Galileo

Except that finding out the earth was round did not cost anything, (If you don't count the jailing, but even then you could get in prison for anything in the old times.) Floating cities are pointless, too costly, and could end in disaster.
Though I am only talking about floating cities, not everything else you said.
Floating cities is hard enough. Damming Gibraltar to Africa is outlandish for out time period. Floating cities is possible in like 50-100 years maybe, for the Dam I'd say 100-200 years if it actually has plans and is being built. Would take a LONG time to build it as well.
Eh, necessity is the mother of invention. Global population growth is not as exponential as is once was, so I doubt we'd need them in that time. We've still got a lot of land to populate
seasteading is way more realistic than damming the straight of gibraltar. what are you talking about.
It appears that Thunderhoof has built up a reputation of making somewhat 'out there' claims so when he proposes an okay idea people judge him rather than the idea itself.

You do realise that floating cities can and most likely will exist in the future right? Don't knock someone down for giving out a cool concept that can and probably will happen. Everyone has a right to dream.

Larger land mass, possibility of creating more usable and renewable energy, more jobs, ability to relocate if needed. There are many pros and cons to it. Too many to list even.

Cons:
There is no way we are able to build enough propellers or hover things to lift up a huge landmass such as that.
Too much energy consumption
Once that energy runs out, it will become and man made meteor
Too much engineering
Keep in mind more Pros does not make it viable, the Cons can be big and the Pros can be small.
Floating cities as in floating in water. Not air. 'Too much energy consumption' is solved by having a small wind farm on it along with solar panels. Maybe even a generator. 'A man made meteor' is solved by negating the assumption the city would float in air instead of water. 'Too much Engineering' is solved by making it rather light weight and simple. It's possible in the next 50-100 years.
Ah, I see what you mean, then boat cities are very possible.
So, I started school on Monday, and I take French. I got my first homework in french, and the thing is, the teacher didn't even teach us what the words meant. Almost as if the teacher expected everyone in their class to know how to speak basic french before school.
I have a feeling that within a month or so, I'll have an F in that class.

In that case:
1.) Google the definitions of the words and reword them for your answers. Maybe leave a few wrong answers to set the bar lower for yourself, then when your teacher actually does start teaching you French you can actually put in effort into your homework and exceed their expectations.
2.) Your teacher probably expects that you won't know the words that were given to you, in which case just fill in whatever or ask them for help whenever you get the chance; but don't put down any correct answers or else they will either assume you have a stronger understanding in French than you actually have or they might suspect you of cheating. If you can call them or e-mail them then ask for help and give them your situation. Like, you have an entire weekend duuuuude. Don't fret over it.

From my experience, language subjects tend to be a lot more self-motivated than other subjects. Especially when it comes to vocabulary, you really need to be your own teacher as much as your actual teacher to do well
It seems like it'd be an enormous cost for pretty minimal land gain
Exactly, enormous cost. Plus, we're not exactly running out of space yet
Yeah, plus shipping in and out of the Med would be hampered by having to transfer goods over potentially three dams. So much goes through the Suez Canal that damming it would be a logistical nightmare for any cargo going between Europe and Asia (a hell of a lot of cargo).

The big added cost with floating cities would be desal. Desalinating a small city's water consumption would require a hell of a lot of power.

Explain the ups of floating cities.

Retired StaffTo be honest we already have floating cities in terms of aircraft carriers, cruise ships and the likes.
