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 2 months 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!

[–] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

tfw handle is larger than the pan scared

Thermal expansion doggirl-smart

That's the Midwestβ„’ 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 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

The Whataburger Exclusion Zone

[–] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

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

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

[–] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

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. πŸ˜‘

[–] ComradeMonotreme@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

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 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Starting a petition to move Israel there.

Unless it overlaps native reservations idk.

[–] ComradeMonotreme@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Crowtee_Robot@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

That is the often referenced West Bumfuck.

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago

that's the great state of larry

[–] vovchik_ilich@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Non Usian here, what's the funny part?

[–] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

The ignorance of Americans. πŸ˜‚

truthJ/K; it's a fake map.

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Moss@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months 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 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

Pretty sure its Canada

[–] Boxscape@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 2 months ago

Flyover #5.

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

it's ohio viewed from above

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

South Burger

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

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

[–] T34_69@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

Easy, that's Youdaho

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

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.

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

[–] propter_hog@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

Forgetting east Colorado is praxis
