Is that why trans-Atlantic flights are so much more expensive these days?

Taken from below, the Atlantic Ocean expands 1 cm per year, this is much slower than my finger nails grow
100 words per minute
Post says words per second.
Sheit, right, units.
As my stat mech professor said, “what’s a few orders of magnitude between friends?”
It’s also not the exact speed but the order of magnitude. Both plates and nails vary in speed individually but the order of magnitude is the same
If I started to let my fingernails grow around the time of Pangea, I’d have some kickass fingernails that would be a removed while programming.
I’d also have a nail fungus from the planet hell.
Edit: auto correct is a removed
I do not like the sound of pickass finger nails. But it could explain the fungus.
