I mean Ohio already looks like a warzone anyway

[–] SUDO@reddthat.com 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Russia can just have Ohio.

Ohio isn't even a real state.

Ever meet anyone from Ohio?

Of course you haven't.

Oh, you have? That was a CIA agent.

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I thought that was Wyoming?

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Does this mean Italy and Greece are the Texas of Europe?

And off the coast of Florida (a genocide & very soon another war).

But at least Alaska/Greenland is uncertain for some reason.

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 11 points 5 hours ago

There is an active war in Ohio.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 1 points 3 hours ago

Now, consider how different the culture is between Ireland and Syria.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Here you goofed up by saying Ohio, now I am automatically on the other side. Canada, please take that forsaken land.

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 81 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

And Florida is killing people they don't like

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 67 points 10 hours ago

We don’t have to imagine that one.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 17 points 10 hours ago

That's just an average day in Florida

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Average EUrudite can't find Alaska on this map.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

Who took them land of greens??

Hawaii/Canary islands also not pictured.

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Canary Islands aren't USAian, so that makes sense.

I was saying that a bit like the Greenland (which isn't USAian) could be Alaska (which is USAian), both top left, Canary islands (not USAian) would be like Hawaii (USAian), both bottom left.

Which has happened countless times in the past. Europe is not a country.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 7 points 7 hours ago (4 children)

is this an accurate representation of the US landmass ? I was under the impression they were much biger than that..., but they're roughly the size of Europe ?

[–] freeman@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 hours ago

The USA is slightly smaller than Europe (not the EU) if you include Alaska and Hawaii

Alaska and Hawaii aren't pictured.

Screenshot of a map of the continental United States on top of a map of Europe, accounting for the map projection. The US stretches from just west of Ireland all the way to TΓΌrkiye and interior parts of Russia.

It looks just slightly bigger than in the OP's screenshot

[–] wavebeam@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

The entirety of Oregon and most of California and Washington are ocean in this image

[–] GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world 10 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

The whole continent of Europe is slightly bigger than the USA. The EU (union) is smaller than the USA.

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 53 points 11 hours ago (4 children)

...Ohio is part of the midwest.

Isn't just living in Ohio the same as being in an active warzone?

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 9 hours ago

Nah, more of a "crabs in a bucket" situation. Nobody wants to be here. A not-insubstantial amount of the population was either dumped out the gate of the nearest military base upon retirement or is otherwise descended from those that were.

the Great Lakes not so great again??

You still need to eat, drink, have shelter while there's a war or a fascist take over. The point of modern society though is to make that band of ability to do that so narrow you cannot afford to take a day off. Because fuck being part of the masses I guess.

[–] Pricklesthemagicfish@reddthat.com 25 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (3 children)

Imagine the people running your country are literally fucking and eating kids.

It looks more like they just left Lake Michigan as part of the main landmass

[–] criticon@lemmy.ca 13 points 8 hours ago

The UP is there, the map includes the borders at the great lakes

I am disturbed by the lack of Great Lakes.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 7 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Something makes me think that the US should be flipped horizontally here. So that Florida is over Spain.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

And New England would be sort of over Old England.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 2 points 3 hours ago

I was going to say that but my US geography isn't that good or any good really :-)
