We’ve been ignoring the Dakotas for too long, they are spreading at an alarming rate!

Damn that’s scary. I don’t think there’s many drag queens there but child abuse in those states are higher than most. /s

Incest often doesn’t provide viable offspring though.

Tell that to the British royal line

Any royal line for that matter

That’s what happens when the antidax narrative takes hold.

Almost perfect! Of course Akansas should be Nebrahoma. Rookie mistake, but great work otherwise! Gold star

That’s my favorite. Plus, the way it can be read as “Ohenno” or Oh hell no. Columbia on the West Coast is also a neat idea, considering that Columbia was the manufactured goddess designed to be an avatar for American greatness, before we got the Statue of Liberty. Columbia still has a big statue on top of the Capitol building in DC that never gets mentioned.

Shouldn’t have made a bunch of states rectangles then

I like how it has both Arkansas and Arkansas

not_woody_shaw ,

The northern one has no r.

Agent641 , to xkcd in Challenge accepted

Fun fact, there are no US states that start with A.

TheMagicalTimonini ,

The closest is Arkansas which starts with an “A”. Which is pronounced similar to an “A”.

Some ChatGPT fun facts

palordrolap ,

Likewise there are no states with a B in the name.

Ookami38 ,

Isn’t Kentucky the only one that starts with a K?

DoucheBagMcSwag , (edited ) to xkcd in Challenge accepted

“Texas”

Well that’s a very generous description based on the current discourse of personal freedoms being violated

This is cursed.

I only looked at this for ten seconds and I forgot how the real map looks.

The malignant Dak-ancer has spread to your Cancerlina. The illness stems from exposure to fascist gerrymandering. It’s a fatal prognosis.

I… I can’t even figure what’s wrong with it even though I know it’s so very, very wrong. My brain hurts.

I genuinely didn’t get the joke until I read the hover text and even then I just assumed he put extra lines in to troll the Americans.

Should be Kansas, Arkansas, and Cokansas.

Hmm, trying to understand your username, are you both very intelligent/ talented AND have a lift kit on your vehicle?

Columbia should be Jefferson. Alternatively Columbia could be Oregon, then Oregon becomes Columbia. Cascadia would also be appropriate for either.

ThatOneKirbyMain2568 OP ,
@ThatOneKirbyMain2568@kbin.social avatar

Oooo, you're right. I originally had (north–south) Washington → Columbia → Oregon but then realized that Oregon's shape was second and so lazily swapped the two names. Cool to know!

I have an inkling that the two Arkansas are pronounced differently. “Are-Kansas” and “Are-Can-Saw”.

abouttocomealive ,
@abouttocomealive@lemmy.world avatar

One is Akansas

Aatube ,
@Aatube@kbin.social avatar

Are-ken-saw, A-kan-saw and a Kan-sahs

SuzyQ ,
@SuzyQ@sh.itjust.works avatar

I see that now. I did not see it then.

One has no R

I see that now. I did not see it then.

Nougat ,

That's because Arkansas (ARE-can-saw) retained the native language pronounciation, while Kansas (CAN-zuhs) was Anglicanized.

misophist ,

Today I learned the native language was French!

Nougat ,

The word “Arkansas” came from the Quapaw Indians, by way of early French explorers. ... The state’s name has been spelled several ways throughout history. In Marquette and Joliet’s Journal of 1673, the Indian name is spelled AKANSEA. In LaSalle’s map a few years later, it’s spelled ACANSA. A map based on the journey of La Harpe in 1718-1722 refers to the river as the ARKANSAS and to the Indians as LES AKANSAS. In about 1811, Captain Zebulon Pike, a noted explorer, spelled it ARKANSAW.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

But where is Are-Cannot-Saw?

Central Dakota…

skydivekingair , to xkcd in Challenge accepted

You missed Upper Peninsula north of Wisconsin.

ThatOneKirbyMain2568 OP ,
@ThatOneKirbyMain2568@kbin.social avatar

That's the other part of Michigan, unless the Upper Peninsula decided to become Upper Dakota while I wasn't looking.

According to Sean Hannity on Fox News it’s Canada
