If Pangaea was administered by Americans they’d be all like “yeah but it’s just too big for trains!”.
No fossil fuels for the big cars though. Ba dum ts. (I know fossil fuels are mostly old plants etc.)
We regret to inform that all trains will be running behind schedule because an overworked stegosaurus jumped in front of the 8 AM express.
This could have easily been a Flintstones episode.
We only have 250.million years to be ready for the next one.

The next supercontinent, predicted to coalesce in approximately 250 million years, is most commonly referred to as Pangaea Ultima, though it also goes by names like Pangaea Proxima, Neopangaea, and Pangaea II.
I really enjoy that the article continues and discusses how humans will survive in the middle of the continent. Dinosaurs were killed 65 million years ago. Modern Humans won’t be a thing.
Sorry to burst your bubble here pal, but I’ve been alive for almost three decades in a row and haven’t died once. Judging by that, I’m pretty sure I’ll still be here in 250 million years.
Not just alive, but with proper data extrapolation, there should be one more of you every almost 30 years.
There will be millions of you around by then!
Good lord. A supercontinent chock full of me. A supercuntinent.
Define human. Yes modern humans aka homosapiens are extinct long before Pangea Dos, but there is still a chance there will be a new species of humans by then. The age of the Dinosaurs lasted 190 million years. The age of Humans could last just as long if not longer. If humans can survive and advance the next 100,000 years they would have the tech to mitigate any mass extinction event.
Only problem is that we are the next mass extinction event. can we survive us?

Boy do I have an animated children’s show for you
Dinosaur Train!
Dinosaur train!
Alright buddy time to get going.
Imagine the THROUGHPUT
We would still have lobbyists telling politicians that trains are a terrible idea
OpenTTD goes brrrr
Imagine the wars.
Damn I love building railway systems in civ for my army. Something so satisfying about it.
Which game? My favorite was civ 3 because you could place railroad on the majority of tiles in your territory and make movement cost 0.
I liked declaring surprise wars and moving my entire army across the map in an instant.
Civ 3 was my first civ. I loved putting like a 100 units on the same tile.
I was thinking of civ 6 specifically though.
The stack of death was cool. I’m glad it’s gone though because 10 minute barbarian raids were very frustrating
there’d still be roads everywhere and no train in sight
Ah yes America
