True but that doesn't work too well to invade an island.

eventually the bodies will pile-up enough that the next batch can just walk over.

That strategy would need quite a lot of bodies given there is an ocean in the middle there.

the strait isn't that deep, and it's only about 100 miles across.

[-] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago

It would take around 400 million bodies to fill in a one metre wide corridor across the strait based on some napkin math. So yeah I guess it's actually possible technically

I feel like this would be a hilariously morbid engineering thought exercise…
