Looks like they also propose to move Alaska to mexico, for them to become almost neighbor to Texans

It would make visiting them much easier

I think that's the weirdest part of the map. Hawaii gets a black box, but Alaska and bits of Canada just get tacked on to Mexico.

I mean, "Massivechusetts" was right there.

I mean, early on many states had real claims to the west that looked almost exactly like this.

It’s funny how initial colonial charters just let them claim land all the way to the Pacific without really knowing how far away that was.

Perfect for trafficking drugs and people without crossing state lines 🥰

Dude that's like twice in as many weeks that you've sent me to fantastic sticker stores. I only wish this one had car magnets too

Is that 5 nfl teams in one state?

oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 85d

I think it would be, the New England Patriots, LA Chargers and Rams, Cleveland Browns, Hammond Bears. Maybe Las Vegas Raiders though I think they are far enough away to not be included.

Connecticut originally claimed land all the way to the Mississippi river

Now we know why it's called connect-i-cut.

The European mind cannot comprehend this

That’s a Massivechusetts!

You've heard of Massachusetts, but are you ready for Velocichusetts?

ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 84d

Together they form KineticEnergychussetts

The way this ignores the curvature of the Earth bothers me SO MUCH. That had better be intentional trolling...

FavouriteShapes@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 83d

Interesting way of depicting alaska

What happened to Rhode Island‽ Massivechusetts would include land from NY, PA, OH, MI, IN, Il, IA, MO, NE, KS, CO, UT, NV, AZ, and CA possibly part of CT as well…

I assume Megachusetts ate it as a snack while it was evolving.

evidences@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 83d

This reminds me of the old maps of the post revolutionary war US where the colonies just kind of claim any land to the west of them to essentially infinity.

This was particularly fun for Connecticut because Pennsylvania was in the way so they just claimed everything west of Pennsylvania but Pennsylvania didn't have a western border till like 1800ish so I'd assume that was a fun one those two states argued about pre Ohio.

Horsey@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 85d

CO, IL, PA, NY all become red states, while AZ would become a blue state lol. CA would become competitive. OH would become hard red, and MI might become bluer depending on how close the line is to Ann Arbor and Wayne county.

Hey now, Erie's got enough problems without adding Massholes to the deluge. 😜

starman2112@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 84d

I love the tiny islands of states left in Meggachusetts' wake. Imagine being a road worker who has to commute across Meggachusetts to service the one road in Northeast Kansas

Massivechussets was right there man

Next level gerrymandering over here!

It should just follow I-90 all the way over and turn it into a state highway
