Residents of Floxas notice no change.
I was about to say—we lost the panhandle, and nobody realistically knows what lives there anyway.
I think it becomes the most populous state
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.
I think we tried that once.
At that time only the South wanted independence, now it might be that both parts would rather live on their own.
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.
Better to have a small Somalia2 than turn all the US into the Beautiful Somalia of Covfefe, don’t you agree?

We’ll smuggle you out.
I feel like any major restructure like that would require some sort of open border policy, even if temporary, simply because people have never had any reason to not move…? And if we Balkanize with closed borders from go, well that’s for sure going to cause conflict.
Smuggling is what it will cause. I’ll risk dying in a hot truck.
bible belt and sane people
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.
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 :)
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”.
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.
I feel like idiota would be overcrowded
Fixed.
“Where you from?”
“Middle”
as an Oregonian I 100% accpt the decision to merge us with Warshington
Floxas made me lol
Flower petal distribution.
Like a voronoi grid with limited colors, each color a state. Every state would have a bit of everything.
Utucky
No u.
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.
no that’s floxas
Fuck that. The Northeast created this country and we’re not gonna be erased.
you also created new jersey, take some fuckin responsibility for your sins
Fine, New Jersey is taking its Unix and going home then
oh shit.
well, bsd, er, linux-shit… uh… TempleOS it is!
Linux isn’t derived from Unix, just originally based on it. The BSDs and Darwin (Mac) would be the unfortunate casualties, but at least most of the country won’t be stuck with Windows?
Edit: And, I guess, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4/5. The former “borrowed” the networking stack from OpenBSD, and the latter are based on some BSD variant if I recall correctly.
TempleOS is the only way bro.
So a track record of treachery and treason?
I like how the map shows the curvature of the north border (49th parallel), meaning all these lines bulge north in the middle.
As a resident of Floxus, I propose we make the creeping phlox our state flower.
(It smells like rotting skunk.)
isn’t that the shit that Trump smells like?
Flopsweat and diaper rash cream
Alascanada?
Hawacuba?
There’s precedence in Connecticut history
