We don't talk about Eoregon, and do try to not wake it up. It'll just rope you into looking for its lost tail.

Doubly so since Virginia is a Commonwealth.

As someone educated in Ohio public schools I can tell you that map only has one Ohio on it, and it looks completely accurate.

Sort of curious what state you're looking at and calling Ohio. And what public school system you were stuck in. :/

Yeah, and then Ohio. It comes after those ones. It's the one northlefter from the red circle by where it is.

The only state I see that's actually gotten mangled is Missouri.

Somewhere in Utah, a family is reading your comment and taking notes on future baby names.

I see states that might be Double Kentucky, Triple Kentucky and Quadruple Kentucky. But everything around Ohio is present and correct

I'd go right now if I could. Just give me a few hours of air and I wouldn't even ask for a return flight.

That's what made me laugh, he pointed out one of the few states that doesn't suddenly have twins. Making fun of Ohio while not knowing what it looks like and being wrong about there being 3 of them on this map was beautiful, whether intentional or not.

You should be. Idk if you've ever been to Indiana, but one is worrying enough. Fucking racist, laziest, willfully ignorant place I'd call the taint of the nation, but that's not fair to taints.

Actually why I mentioned it! I’ve been there a decent amount.

I was going to say Ohio isn’t much better… but now that I think about it I’d prefer more Ohios than Indianas. I’ve known a number of genuinely good people from Ohio.

Depending on the map, I think Alaska would be the first state. Sometimes Alaska goes on holiday and visits Mexico, though. So, on this map, then it would be 87th.

Don't say that. Ohio is a black hole. You will meet people from Ohio trying to escape no matter where you go, but they'll almost all be pulled back. Few manage to truly break free. We need to get rid of the one Ohio we have, not make more of them.

Makes sense, as there are about that many different Southern BBQ styles, and now they each get their own Carolina.

So the Spanish-derived names would be Norte California, Norte California MÁS (+25 kCal), Média California, Noreste California.
