  You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022

  I like that this got its own thread.

  We should dump a load of dirt into the Persian Gulf off the coast of UAE and then have birds defecate on it and then claim it before UAE does.
  
  Why off the coast of UAE?  Just to stick it to UAE and their artificial island projects.  Feel free to substitute in any other country you don't like that has a water body within or next to it.

  1414 said:

  The discoverer, or his assigns, being citizens of the United States, may be allowed, at the pleasure of Congress, the exclusive right of occupying such island, rocks, or keys, for the purpose of obtaining guano, and of selling and delivering the same to citizens of the United States, to be used therein, and may be allowed to charge and receive for every ton thereof delivered alongside a vessel, in proper tubs, within reach of ship’s tackle, a sum not exceeding $8 per ton for the best quality, or $4 for every ton taken while in its native place of deposit.

  so write your rep, and keep in mind that once the guano's gone there's no reason for them to keep the island

  So, is there any laws against making your own islands?

  Whores! we want "poems that kill."
  Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
  guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
  and take their weapons leaving them dead

  Probably. At the very least, it probably qualifies as littering
