No, the red square is the only NON stolen land. The native folk there said "we've been avoiding that patch of land on account of it being bright red. It's kinda weird. You can chill there if you need."

In the American tradition of intentionally misreading treaties, we claimed the entire continent

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

Oof, that's gonna be an awkward conversation to clear up.

No no I think that is the panhandle. It just looks inflamed - look how big and red it is!

[-] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

Thermal expansion doggirl-smart

tfw handle is larger than the pan scared

That's the Midwestâ„¢ that George Bush took us to war in! It's a dry wasteland, full of ~~sand~~ snow people with religious head coverings and funny accents!

Oklahosas, sometimes called "Khamas."

[-] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Half correct. That was its name before the Civil War. Bonus points for obscurity.

The Whataburger Exclusion Zone

[-] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Does that mean it contains no Whataburger, or nothing but Whataburgers?

[-] ComradeMonotreme@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Israel

It's actuallyIntersecting Colorado and New Mexico in the left, nebraska on top, Kansas in the middle and Oklahoma on the bottom. Right? I'm Australian. But I’ve been doing geography quizzes lately.

[-] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Starting a petition to move Israel there.

Unless it overlaps native reservations idk.

[-] ComradeMonotreme@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

Looks like it doesn’t, but they still probably should stuck Israel in Germany.

When the whites said "we want the Ohio River Valley" they really were not fucking around

[-] Crowtee_Robot@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago

That is the often referenced West Bumfuck.

...they have an ointment for that, now...

[-] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

If someone has sold you ointment then I'm sorry to say you've been scammed. Colobraskanoma can only be cured with aggressive radiation therapy overseen by a board-certified oncoloradoist.

Smdh falling for a travelling Colobraskanoma oil salesman in the year of our lord 2024

I'm trying to educate Americans here. Please be serious. 😑

[-] godlessworm@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

that's the great state of larry

[-] vovchik_ilich@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

Non Usian here, what's the funny part?

[-] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The ignorance of Americans. 😂

truthJ/K; it's a fake map.

[-] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

No, I assure you everything on this map is indeed part of the USA.

[-] Moss@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

thats california. most americans think california is on the west coast when its actually a square north of texas

[-] deforestgump@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

Don’t fuck with me! We all know this is Serbia!

[-] Boxscape@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 1 month ago

Flyover #5.

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

Pretty sure its Canada

[-] peeonyou@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

That statistic is probably pretty generous. I'd believe it if 75% of people didn't even know there was no state there.

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

it's ohio viewed from above

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

South Burger

[-] Hestia@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

And I am one of those Americans. Why should I care what that shitty little state is, huh? They don't deserve my recognition. We've got 69 other cancerous blights like it on this land.

[-] T34_69@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

Easy, that's Youdaho

It'd be funnier if it was just the parts claimed by the Republic of Texas that didn't end up as part of the state.

[-] MouthyHooker@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

As a Coloradan, I have to say that forgetting eastern Colorado exists is both understandable and valid.

[-] propter_hog@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

Forgetting east Colorado is praxis
