Residents of Floxas notice no change.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

I was about to say—we lost the panhandle, and nobody realistically knows what lives there anyway.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I think it becomes the most populous state

[-] [email protected] 39 points 2 months ago

You should sort them in alphabetical order, my European brain won't be able to remember them otherwise

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

And put them all to a catchy jingle

One line would be enough: to divide North from South.

[-] [email protected] 56 points 2 months ago

I think we tried that once.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

At that time only the South wanted independence, now it might be that both parts would rather live on their own.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

bible belt and sane people

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

You need 4 lines. North East, South West, Wastelands.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago

Split it along the time zones instead. Less states and simpler administration. Washington DC can be its own time zone just to mess with people.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

I feel like idiota would be overcrowded

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

Floxas made me lol

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

Fuck that. The Northeast created this country and we're not gonna be erased.

[-] [email protected] 34 points 2 months ago

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Fine, New Jersey is taking its Unix and going home then

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

I like how the map shows the curvature of the north border (49th parallel), meaning all these lines bulge north in the middle.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Utucky

No u.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Alascanada?

Hawacuba?

Americans are so dumb when it comes to timezones we could just assign Maintana to GMT+5, Washconsin GMT+6 and so on downwards. It wouldn't make any difference to them and it'd be a lot more fun for the rest of us.

True story: "The meeting is at 1500 EDT". "Your state is currently on EST so if I turn up at the specified time I'll be an hour late. Are you sure it's 1500 EDT and not 1500 EST?" "Yes, definitely 1500 EDT". /me turns up at 1500 EDT to find the meeting has already finished.

I misread IDOTA as IDIOTA.

I especially like IDiOTA

Also

America's borders

USA borders.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

“America” is a shortened name for “United States of America,” in addition to the name of the continent. It can be both, you know.

Believe it or not, those two terms are used interchangably and somehow no one gets confused. A continent AND a country can both have the same name without the world ending.

Maintana most beautiful state

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Bullshit. I just moved from Oklahoma to California to escape the hell hole that is that backwards ass state and I'm not reincorporating.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Is that why you hate the internet?

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

The Internet would be great if it wasn't for all the other computers attached to it.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Those damn macintoshes. Get off my LAN!

As a resident of Floxus, I propose we make the creeping phlox our state flower.

(It smells like rotting skunk.)

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I feel for Louisiana getting lumped into Floxas, run by the mutant abomination AbbSantis.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

It's not actually all that differently stupid.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Floxas gonna absolutely kill at college football

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

But the target of basically all the hurricanes

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

If Dr Suess was in charge of naming the states:

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Which sports team am I supposed to root for with this map? Do you expect me to make a careful analysis of team history and current lineup? Or do I pick the one in the state I was born in like a normal person?
