Residents of Floxas notice no change.

[-] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 month ago

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

[-] arrow74@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

I think it becomes the most populous state

[-] Hjalamanger@feddit.nu 37 points 1 month ago

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

[-] makyo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

And put them all to a catchy jingle

[-] Lv_InSaNe_vL@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

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!

[-] Lembot_0004@discuss.online 34 points 1 month ago

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

[-] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 52 points 1 month ago

I think we tried that once.

[-] Lembot_0004@discuss.online 10 points 1 month ago

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

[-] CorruptCheesecake@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

These welfare queen red states would turn into Somalia in short order. If I can't make it back to a blue state before the borders close I'm going to fucking kill myself.

[-] Lembot_0004@discuss.online 8 points 1 month ago

Better to have a small Somalia2 than turn all the US into the Beautiful Somalia of Covfefe, don't you agree?

bible belt and sane people

[-] CorruptCheesecake@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Insular, gossipy, ugly, unintelligible, 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.

[-] parody@lemmings.world 5 points 1 month ago

Right thooooo

ugly, poorly dressed

meh ain’t hurting nobody

unintelligible

little our fault innit, also don’t wanna punch down

Get your emotion though not denying your feeling :)

[-] CorruptCheesecake@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

From my perspective it's punching back. But there are always exceptions to the rule. My philosophy is "give respect, get respect", not "viciously slander, patronize and exclude outsiders until they break yet somehow still feel entitled to their kindness and expect them to suck you off and inflate your already over-inflated ego".

[-] evening_push579@feddit.nu 23 points 1 month 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.

[-] FelixCress@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I especially like IDiOTA

Also

America's borders

USA borders.

[-] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month 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.

[-] makyo@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

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

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month ago

[-] VoteNixon2016 7 points 1 month ago

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

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Floxas made me lol

[-] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 month ago

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

[-] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago

Utucky

No u.

[-] Sir_Premiumhengst@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Alascanada?

Hawacuba?

[-] ianhclark510 6 points 1 month ago

as an Oregonian I 100% accpt the decision to merge us with Warshington

[-] pineapplelover@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 weeks ago

"Where you from?"

"Middle"

[-] jaupsinluggies@feddit.uk 6 points 1 month ago

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.

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

[-] CorruptCheesecake@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Is that why you hate the internet?

[-] remotelove@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Zier@fedia.io 5 points 1 month ago

Those damn macintoshes. Get off my LAN!

Maintana most beautiful state

[-] Jackcooper@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Floxas gonna absolutely kill at college football

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

But the target of basically all the hurricanes

[-] moakley@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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

(It smells like rotting skunk.)

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

Sounds more like a new line up of pharmaceuticals for the treatment of those suffering from delusions of grandeur and acute narcissism

[-] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

If Dr Suess was in charge of naming the states:

[-] mhague@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

Flower petal distribution.

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