You should sort them in alphabetical order, my European brain won’t be able to remember them otherwise
Time to redraw America's borders in a way that finally makes sense.

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 3 months ago
I think we tried that once.
Lembot_0004@discuss.online 3 months ago
At that time only the South wanted independence, now it might be that both parts would rather live on their own.
ohulancutash@feddit.uk 3 months ago
You need 4 lines. North East, South West, Wastelands.

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 3 months ago
Just saying USA has less syllables and letters.

makyo@lemmy.world 3 months 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 3 months ago
I think “America” implies a hierarchy, dominance, and soothes their egos though
FelixCress@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Yup. They misappropriated a continent’s name to feel more important. Otherwise they would feel smaller than Australia presumably.

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

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.

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

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

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?
