A couple of ways of interpretating this maybe:

  • curiosity of the sensation
  • absolute pathos of just trying to feel something

Image description: Still image of two characters with dialogue from the film "Children of Men (2006)." The two characters are at the "Arc of the Arts," museum near a window where outside a large pig-shaped balloon is flying. The character on the left, Theo, asks "What keeps you going?" The character on the right replies. "You know what it is Theo? I just don't think about it." The words of their reply are colored in trans-flag blue, white and pink.

OK hear me out: It should be named after the first European explorer to discover it and popularize the European expansion: Christopher Columbus.

  • Like its namesake, the nation too is racist, cruel and genocidal. Even the Spanish Inquisition era Catholics were like, damn Christopher!
  • Like the largest exporter of cocaíne in South America, it too is full of drugs, and its elections are the plaything of big money cartels and foreign powers.
  • It was mostly settled by white people from England.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you your new nation: British Columbia.

It evokes a Devil May Care attitude towards risk and danger.

I see they're following the Tumblr model:

  • Get bought at overinflated values.
  • Ban all NSFW content.
  • Users leave and seek NSFW content elsewhere.
  • Valuation plummets.
  • "Actually, moderating NSFW is really hard you guys. We're just going to try best efforts moderation only."
  • Sell at near total loss.
  • There is still NSFW content on the platform, and the policy is used as a cudgel against LGBTQ accounts.

David Attenborough voiceover

"Americans, like the common clownfish and some species of frogs, can change sex. While these other animals do so during times of environmental stress or population imbalance, Americans can do so via a strange, opaque process called, "The Executive Order." Unlike their aquatic peers who change on an individual basis, the entire population of Americans changes all at once. This behavior is otherwise unknown in the animal kingdom, and it is unclear what evolutionary advantage this offers, if any."
