The New Cascadia is formed: I love my states of Oregon, Boregon, Coregon, Doregon, Foregon and New Moregon.

We don't talk about Eoregon, and do try to not wake it up. It'll just rope you into looking for its lost tail.

Somewhere in Utah, a family is reading your comment and taking notes on future baby names.

Wrong. That's California, northern California, Northerner California, mid California, Northest California then the others

Rentlar@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 6h (1 reply)

So the Spanish-derived names would be Norte California, Norte California MÁS (+25 kCal), Média California, Noreste California.

This country didn't create 1500 states to bow to some gibberish language.

Pouring one out for the homies stuck in Triple Ohio

Abyssian@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 12h (9 replies)

As someone educated in Ohio public schools I can tell you that map only has one Ohio on it, and it looks completely accurate.

Sort of curious what state you're looking at and calling Ohio. And what public school system you were stuck in. :/

I see Illinois, Sickinois, Dyinois, Deadinois, Outdiana and Indiana

Abyssian@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 12h (4 replies)

Yeah, and then Ohio. It comes after those ones. It's the one northlefter from the red circle by where it is.

The only state I see that's actually gotten mangled is Missouri.

Abyssian@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 11h (2 replies)

Yeah, I was curious what the person I replied to meant by triple Ohio.

captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 11h (1 reply)

I see states that might be Double Kentucky, Triple Kentucky and Quadruple Kentucky. But everything around Ohio is present and correct

Abyssian@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 10h

That's what made me laugh, he pointed out one of the few states that doesn't suddenly have twins. Making fun of Ohio while not knowing what it looks like and being wrong about there being 3 of them on this map was beautiful, whether intentional or not.

So when do you go to space?

Abyssian@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 11h (1 reply)

I'd go right now if I could. Just give me a few hours of air and I wouldn't even ask for a return flight.

Ohioan status confirmed.

I’m a bit worried about the Quadruple Indiana as well

MintyFresh@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 10h (2 replies)

You should be. Idk if you've ever been to Indiana, but one is worrying enough. Fucking racist, laziest, willfully ignorant place I'd call the taint of the nation, but that's not fair to taints.

calliope@retrolemmy.com · 1 pts · 10h (1 reply)

Actually why I mentioned it! I’ve been there a decent amount.

I was going to say Ohio isn’t much better… but now that I think about it I’d prefer more Ohios than Indianas. I’ve known a number of genuinely good people from Ohio.

Abyssian@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 10h

Don't say that. Ohio is a black hole. You will meet people from Ohio trying to escape no matter where you go, but they'll almost all be pulled back. Few manage to truly break free. We need to get rid of the one Ohio we have, not make more of them.

There's like 6 Oregons and 9 North Carolinas

BitUnWise@programming.dev · 2 pts · 8h

Surely only one of them can be 'North' Carolina

InvalidName2@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 8h

There’s like [...] 9 North Carolinas

Makes sense, as there are about that many different Southern BBQ styles, and now they each get their own Carolina.

Why Oklahoma indeed. My home state.

Triple Ohio? That's Eightdiana.

Unfortunately, it also comes with Fourtucky.

I wish there were 3 Ohios. That would mean trippe the number of Tony Packo's and Skyline Chilis

Getting real loose with calling Virginia “literally” the first state.

hakase@lemmy.zip · 10 pts · 15h

Doubly so since Virginia is a Commonwealth.

Florida, Texas, Cali and Arizona and all the other states are there

I like how Utah is annihilated

DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 10h

Depending on the map, I think Alaska would be the first state. Sometimes Alaska goes on holiday and visits Mexico, though. So, on this map, then it would be 87th.

Everyone knows you start in the upper left and go left to right, top to bottom. Duh.

WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 9h

Unless the Japanese started the first state. And we can never know if that happened.

Don't take "first state" bragging rights away from Delaware, it's all they have!
