Flower petal distribution.
Like a voronoi grid with limited colors, each color a state. Every state would have a bit of everything.
Fixed.
“Where you from?”
“Middle”
as an Oregonian I 100% accpt the decision to merge us with Warshington
If Dr Suess was in charge of naming the states:
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
this unironically looks like how some colonies used ro be divvied up. fitting for a colonial empire.
You should sort them in alphabetical order, my European brain won’t be able to remember them otherwise
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!
And put them all to a catchy jingle
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
Now I want to see this cross referenced to a population map and overlay major cities and show us the population of each new state and what cities would be in each.
I feel like idiota would be overcrowded
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
Utucky
No u.
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.
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.
Floxas made me lol
Alascanada?
Hawacuba?
