Is it too late to get a refund for the Louisiana Purchase?

[-] joyjoy@lemm.ee 34 points 1 year ago

We bought it for pennies. Imagine the ROI.

[-] peregrin5@lemm.ee 26 points 1 year ago

What I wouldn't give for my state to be part of France rather than this US bullshit.

I second the motion of making the Louisiana Refund real.

As someone who just moved from the west into "the REAL US" ... this shit is old and broken and slow as fuck and everyone just accepts it like it's supposed to be that way.

[-] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Because it’s either that, or they pay taxes. They made their own bed.

NY, Florida, Texas, California are the only states, the rest is Ohio

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago

if your state has a natural border, it's real. otherwise it's a prank. Which square state are you from, the one shaped like a square or the one shaped like a rectangle. get real motherfuckers

[-] Draghetta@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

And to think Africans complain about their rectangle borders, Americans are just fine!

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

typical yank, africans don't complain about rectangle borders, they complain about straight lines.

STOP doing manifest destiny

Nations were never supposed to span from coast to coast

Want to have more coastline anyway? We have a solution for that: it's called a PENINSULA

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 8 points 1 year ago

Stalin: our nation should span from coast to coast

Putin: I won't be satisfied with just the Crimea peninsula

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

Iberian Peninsula is so hot right now

[-] TehWorld@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

If you want more coastline, all you have to do is measure with more accuracy.

Left: Mental Illness

Right: Mental Illinois

[-] Johnmannesca@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Mental Illinois sounds like a sick band name

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago

There seems to be a mistake with this map, Minnesota is a Canadian province

[-] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 year ago

Colorado: Real US

Rest of the states: Mental illness

[-] Sneezydinosaur@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

True. Also how is Florida not mental illness? SMH my head.

[-] Pika@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

Despite the fact that I have family in florida, I would definitely swap florida and California status, least Cali does something good for the country with their tech innovation and privacy laws. I can't recall the last time Florida did something good

[-] peregrin5@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Florida will be part of the sea in the near future. You don't have to worry about them for much longer.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

As a Californian I can say thats probably the least we give since we have a shit tonne of different industries within the state. Reminder we are the fourth largest economy in the world.

So THAT'S what the psychs meant when they said I was living in a state of mental illness..

[-] wabafee@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Sooner or later Florida won't be a state anymore.

The line is so....vertical. Incorrect but funny.

[-] Holyginz@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Florida just shouldn't exist and I'd probably move California over to the other side. But on the whole I think this pic is passable.
