Residents of Floxas notice no change.
Time to redraw America's borders in a way that finally makes sense.

I think it becomes the most populous state

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

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

And put them all to a catchy jingle

You just gotta remember the mnemonic for them!
Many Wild Owls In Winter Never Make Unusual Noises, Always Calm and Focused
But that’s just taught to us in class as little kids so I forget it’s not second nature for the rest of the world!

One line would be enough: to divide North from South.
gedaliyah@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I think we tried that once.
Lembot_0004@discuss.online 1 day ago
At that time only the South wanted independence, now it might be that both parts would rather live on their own.

Insular, gossipy, ugly, poorly dressed crazy religious dumbfucks and normal humans who actually have empathy and can accept their town gaining new residents without throwing a redneck tantrum about it every day while said new resident occupies free real estate in their moldy swamp brains.

You need 4 lines. North East, South West, Wastelands.
evening_push579@feddit.nu 1 day 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.

“America” is a shortened name for “United States of America,” in addition to the name of the continent. It can be both, you know.
Manalith@midwest.social 1 day ago
Just saying USA has less syllables and letters.

makyo@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Believe it or not, those two terms are use interchangably and somehow no one gets confused. A continent AND a country can both have the same name without the world ending.

Let me point you to this handy little guide:
ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I think “America” implies a hierarchy, dominance, and soothes their egos though
FelixCress@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Yup. They misappropriated a continent’s name to feel more important. Otherwise they would feel smaller than Australia presumably.

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

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

Now I want to see this cross referenced to a population map and overlay major cities and show us the population of each new state and what cities would be in each.

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?
WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 1 day 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.

You have ascended to heaven. If you ever feel stressed, just remember that the people you left behind are still playing in the mud and catching exotic third world diseases.

Flower petal distribution.
Like a voronoi grid with limited colors, each color a state. Every state would have a bit of everything.
