@pelhamfall @Conblob who do you think asked me to post this lol

@lxeagle17 Seriously, especially Texas. It has a refined shape on our map, but flipped it looks so lopsided and weird.

@lxeagle17 It’s only weird because all the west coast states would be much smaller if they had been exposed to the influx of settlers in early America. People didn’t reach all of the Midwest/West Coast for almost 100 years really. It would be inverse basically due to proximity to Europe.

@lxeagle17

@lxeagle17 On a normal map I'm always taken by how close the southern great lakes/midwest areas are to the upper reaches of the Gulf Coast. On this map that distance looks downright tiny!

@lxeagle17 Me looking at this US map from below

@lxeagle17 You didn't have to post this, we could've lived our lives without ever having seen this

@lxeagle17

@lxeagle17 It’s crazy for me because it brings into even sharper relief the differences between the coasts. Like damn the east coast is LUMPY (I hereby ordain lumpy as a suitable term for geological features)

@lxeagle17 Wyoming is all wrong

@lxeagle17 this is the weirdest map I've ever seen

@lxeagle17 Mind absolutely blown at Texas. "Well, THAT one's not right, for sure," I said. "The eastern border of Texas does not bulge out like that." Then actually checked. My God.

@lxeagle17 Looks like a crab

@lxeagle17 All I see is the Buffalo Bills logo—the resemblance is uncanny 😭

@lxeagle17 I hate it

@lxeagle17 I like how the PNW would be so distinct

@lxeagle17 @_sn_n Is that europe?
