::I agree, but I think he should have gone with Lego instead, more universally recognized. I know "Brio" as a Spanish Cola. :) [[User:NiceGuy1|NiceGuy1]] ([[User talk:NiceGuy1|talk]]) 02:41, 11 August 2017 (UTC) | ::I agree, but I think he should have gone with Lego instead, more universally recognized.

::BRIO connections can slide, like most faults, whereas LEGO connections interlock, and don't tend to slip.[[Special:Contributions/108.162.238.179|108.162.238.179]] 12:51, 11 August 2017 (UTC) | ::BRIO connections can slide, like most faults, whereas LEGO connections interlock, and don't tend to slip.[[Special:Contributions/108.162.238.179|108.162.238.179]] 12:51, 11 August 2017 (UTC) | ||

The alt text reminds me of how Earthquakes are depicted in movies, where a massive rift opens up in the Earth.

No seg fault to the left or right of the image? Unfortunate. [[Special:Contributions/172.68.78.16|172.68.78.16]] 16:56, 9 August 2017 (UTC) | No seg fault to the left or right of the image? Unfortunate. [[Special:Contributions/172.68.78.16|172.68.78.16]] 16:56, 9 August 2017 (UTC) | ||

::I think if the Soap fault were real, it would be incredibly dangerous. Messing with its structural integrity or mass in a significant way would doubtless trigger a quake. Parts calving off the great wall of faultlandia during a quake would potentially exacerbate the issue, and it would likely be prone to weathering in ways that encourage instability. Worse still, it could be thousands of miles long, vertical, near-vertical, or overhanging cliffs miles tall, and rivers or huge waterfalls would flow off both sides. Earthquakes could cause considerable changes in elevation either up or down, or in areas where it generates an exposed cliff face, cause chunks of rock the size of small mountains to calve off. In other words, it would be an utterly-impassable cliff or mountain-like structure that was prone to huge earthquakes and shedding debris onto anything nearby. Any infrastructure you tried to use to go through or over it would need to deal with these quakes and would cost an absolute fortune to build and even more to maintain against continuous Earthquakes.[[Special:Contributions/108.162.245.88|108.162.245.88]] 08:06, 11 August 2017 (UTC) | ::I think if the Soap fault were real, it would be incredibly dangerous.
