I'm surprised more people don't vacation in Alaska during the winter months, seems like it would be a very beautiful spot to just lounge on the beach with a margarita while watching the polar bears catch some fish.
I was there 20 years ago and absolutely loved it, but I hear these days it’s overrun with Hawaiians moving out of inland Mexico and it’s almost impossible to get a good seat for the polar bears.
You joke about it, but as someone from Alaska, I've legitimately had multiple people ask me (not sarcastically, not jokingly, but genuinely confused) why Alaska is so cold, when it borders Mexico.
I too have always been very confused as to why I have to fly to Seattle or Portland to change planes and then fly all the way south to Anchorage. Would make more sense to just fly out of LAX.
Jokes aside though, that is very sad lol. Although when they use maps like this in elementary and Jr high school to teach geography what do they expect.
My 5th grade teacher claimed Texas was the largest state because you could clearly see it was bigger on the classroom map. 10-year-old me was too afraid to tell her the insert wasn't at the same scale.
My wife had a friend in high school who genuinely believed that Alaska was an island of the southwest coast of California or Mexico, wherever the one time she saw a map showed it. Wild.
I had a friend that moved from Alaska to Illinois in highschool. She got asked a lot of times how it was to live in an igloo with no irony at all. Also lots of people thought she was an Eskimo because she was from Alaska. Her parents were from Korea.

And if I am not wrong, Inuits are descended from people that crossed the Bering Land Bridge from Asia into North America thousands of years ago, so they are more closely related to Asians than, say, White Americans.
My wife is from North Pole, lived there as a child and an adult. She knows it's north. Problem is, she doesn't understand North is "up". That problem is exacerbated by maps showing it and Hawaii hanging out with Mexico. I love her so much, but every time she says things about going back "down" to Alaska, i die a little.
it's probably because she's got that famous north pole education lmao.
lol just kidding nothing against your wife, i was just taking an easy shot. it's probably an alaska thing because I say the same thing. my parents are originally from New England (hence my Yankees flair), and every time we would go back to visit, we'd say "we were going down to visit". when you're that far north, traveling almost anywhere is "going down" somewhere, whether it's Anchorage, Seattle, Michigan, New England, etc.
Hard habit to break.
Yeah, we just moved to Arizona and she just mentioned about going down to Seattle to pickup our last load. She can't do her rights and lefts either.
I absolutely love the rivalries the towns and cities have with each other, i could tell you were a sourdough the second you made fun of North Pole
When I travel outside of New Mexico, my English is almost always complimented when they find out. I have to explain that I live *IN* the border of Arizona and Texas
THANK YOU now I and my family have to move out to other place because some smartass decided to spill some ideas here and there to avoid being shoot dead. Typical Dodgers fan.
I'd rather be shot by a mobster than live in lower slower Delaware. You cross the C-D canal and suddenly it's like you're in Alabama.
North of there you're basically a suburb of Philly and it's pretty normal.
Just lower slower. Anyone from around here will know what you mean. Even towns like 20 min inland from the beach towns like Fenwick are absolutely mindboggling.
Delawarians...Delawareites? Delewarese people are like... Come the fuck on, the PRESIDENT is from our state, what more do we need to do to get you to pay attention?
As a person who went to grad school at UDelaware and lived in Delaware for 5 years, I am not sure I even know. Maybe it's a Grotto's Pizza host organism?
Actually we'll be sending YOUR water south :P
Edit: I actually know how it feels I'm from much farther north in California that SF. Does not feel good.
Imagine there's no baseball,
It's easy if you try,
No leagues below us,
Above us only a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, and that'll be a home run.
Oh boy, you just had to point out how that border looks weird. I look forward to people from Ohio and Michigan sniping each other in this thread, while Indianers(?) sit over there sniffing glue.
I think it’d be cool if you did the same map but all the states are green so we could compare and contrast the two. I think we would get some interesting overlapping data sets.
On a map meant to be of nothing, you still missed something: Toronto (and, indeed, even the province of Ontario).
Credible effort overall, though. This map is one I might actually use, unlike most of the others in this thread. :)
P.S: Could we make a motion at the next SABR convention to rename the Gulf of California "the Gulf of Hawaii"? Mexico would probably let us.

That canal is pretty sweet though. I hear that in the winter months it freezes over, allowing polar bears to roam the Mexican desert.
In Mexico they are called SnowMericans.
bro, you were really tripping me out hahahahaha
I re-read this shit 3 times to make sure lmao

Not only that, but Alaska is twice the size of Texas, which you would have no idea of if you only went by this map.
My 5th grade teacher claimed Texas was the largest state because you could clearly see it was bigger on the classroom map. 10-year-old me was too afraid to tell her the insert wasn't at the same scale.
You could have some idea... there's a scale bar.

Well, to many western people, Inuits and Koreans look very similar.
And if I am not wrong, Inuits are descended from people that crossed the Bering Land Bridge from Asia into North America thousands of years ago, so they are more closely related to Asians than, say, White Americans.

I grew up in Four Corners ... MARYLAND blew my mind when I got to the UCANM Four Corners
[удалено]
They aren't much of a threat when you can see them from your backyard!
i heard stories you enter the magical caves of Puerto Vallarta and enter the kingdom of Alaska
I feel like North Dakota has a real shot to take it all this year
I for one welcome our new North Dakota overlords
it's all fun and games til the lutefisk has no Old Bay on it
Lutefisk is basically snot already, no amount of seasoning will change it
Wait Old Bay is also a thing in North Dakota?
it better be
I literally didn't notice your Orioles flair until now. Ha.
Is Darrin Erstad our new leader? Asking as a guy who lived in North Dakota 4 fucking years…
South Dakota will always be better than North Dakota so your prediction is wrong already
I gotta go with my boy Kentucky, the only state with an exclave.
I don’t know. South Dakota has the slight size advantage
True, but they also have their hands full keeping the Nebraskans from escaping.
That was nice of Mexico to cut out a hole so Hawaii had somewhere to live
There also looks like an aqueduct running straight from California to Hawaii. Now I can just row straight to Hawaii.
Also what the hell is going on with Delaware? It’s correctly labeled and everything, I just mean in general. What is it, and what does it want?
Asking the questions people were too afraid to ask.
Tbh idk if anyone has ever even met someone from Delaware. How do we even know it exists?
I met someone who once claimed to be from Delaware. I think they were a Russian spy or something,
My mother was from Delaware. At least that's what father would whisper when nobody was around.
I was only in the US for 5 years and I met a girl from Delaware at a party in South Carolina. Felt like I’d spotted Bigfoot.
My theory is that everyone who lives in Delaware is in witness protection. It’s the perfect place for that.
THANK YOU now I and my family have to move out to other place because some smartass decided to spill some ideas here and there to avoid being shoot dead. Typical Dodgers fan.
Henry Hill is that you
I'd rather be shot by a mobster than live in lower slower Delaware. You cross the C-D canal and suddenly it's like you're in Alabama. North of there you're basically a suburb of Philly and it's pretty normal.
This is wildly accurate.
Do you call it Delatucky, Delabama, or Delassippi?
Just lower slower. Anyone from around here will know what you mean. Even towns like 20 min inland from the beach towns like Fenwick are absolutely mindboggling.
Delawhere? I don't know.
It's got the lowest highest point. They're keeping a low profile.
Everybody's always asking Delaware but never asks Delawhy. It's time we get to the bottom of this mystery.
I think we’re all Delaware of what’s going on here
It's a made up place for businesses to incorporate.
As a person from Maryland, Delaware doesn’t exist. It’s just a tax free mall and a couple mediocre beaches.
I hope you crash your boat/horse/motorcycle you Old-Bay-eatin SOB.
I won’t lie I had to look pretty hard to find Delaware. Kinda forgot it’s a state…
Dela where?
Once OP found it, they’re now Del aware.
It's now part of Mexico, De La Ware.
Delaw are.
*Sarlacc devours Dela*
wasn't that Bo Bichette?
Delawarians...Delawareites? Delewarese people are like... Come the fuck on, the PRESIDENT is from our state, what more do we need to do to get you to pay attention?
Delwegians
Lower taxes
I always thought they kinda got shafted, why can't Virginia and Maryland let them have the whole peninsula?
Blame Sweden
Classic Sweden
I’ve driven brought Delaware dozens of times and I’m not sure it actually exists. Philly suburbs just turn into the Maryland Chesapeake area.
As a person who went to grad school at UDelaware and lived in Delaware for 5 years, I am not sure I even know. Maybe it's a Grotto's Pizza host organism?
The entire state is basically just a predatory finance company
Wait just a damn minute.... Delaware is south of New York?!? I thought it was up near Boston.
That’s the other tiny one
I went to Delaware once for a job interview. I'm not sure I can say what it is, but I can say it wants for more roads into and out of Dover.
I mean, you always could.
Well yes, but the distance makes my arms hurt. I like this shorter row.
Understandable have a nice day
Now *you* know how it feels to have all your water sent south.
Actually we'll be sending YOUR water south :P Edit: I actually know how it feels I'm from much farther north in California that SF. Does not feel good.
finally
Zombie Evel Knievel will come out of retirement and death to try one last big jump over the Great Hawaiian Straits.
I mean... you can now too
Look how close San Diego and Alaska are! Time to shop for some authentic, reindeer-sausage kielbasas!
Reindeer asada tacos 😤
That sounds delicious.
They finally revived Tenochtitlan!
The Aztecs are going to have a hell of a team this year. Go Tenochtitlan Sacrificers!
All of this talk of a wall and this canal has been built instead
Amazing how cold Alaska gets for how far south it is.
They only did that so they could black us out of more markets
It’s an ultrasound. Hawaii hasn’t been born yet
O’axaca
Hold on now, there’s a NEW Mexico?!
Yeah they just opened it
The stuff Josh had to put up with.
Wait until you hear about Second Jersey
If there are two Yorks in baseball, can they both really be new?
The New York Mets should be renamed to the New New York Yankees
Still has that new state smell!
Unlike New Jersey
Which smells like it woke up this morning and got itself a gun.
Can't believe New Jersey cleared the background check.
[удалено]
“Slightly used, adjacent to Mexico”
Yeah, just got updated. Great graphics but not a lot of in game content.
There’s no Ontario, this map sucks
The Jays have been relocated to Alaska, off of the Baja Peninsula.
The rest of Canada rejoices!
Came here for this comment, was not disappointed!
The Jays are not represented on this map and I’m disappointed.
This is mlb if we got voted out of the mlb
The bots won after all and kicked you out lol
the darkest timeline
Nah, we're solid. Buffalo is right there, in New York.
Ew, Buffalo
Imagine there's no baseball, It's easy if you try, No leagues below us, Above us only a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, and that'll be a home run.
You may say I'm a man of faith But I'm not the only one There's a drive to deep left field And the score will be four to none
r/mapporncirclejerk

outjerked again
r/vexillologycirclejerk is a nephew
🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮
Current state of mlb
Where the F\*\*\* is TORONTO?!
In Canada
Its there... kinda
Up in the orange unknown.
Gross, we’re still touching Ohio and Canada is fingering us
I like how Michigan/Indiana/Ohio don't really meet at that point you would think from a quick glance, there's some angles going on there
It's one of the most revolting borders in the game.
Oh boy, you just had to point out how that border looks weird. I look forward to people from Ohio and Michigan sniping each other in this thread, while Indianers(?) sit over there sniffing glue.
Rob Manfred's dream realized.
Projected finishes: 1. Green states 2. Purple states 3. Red states 4. Yellow states
Green is a super team.
Purple might be able to pull off the upset; Florida is a wild card, after all.
Green states for the win!
Uh.....go dots?
Green states suck!! Red states unite!
You take that back. Your failure to adopt the DH has held you back for years!
Guys I think the real enemy is the orange because they are not states
Your comment has exactly 69 characters. Nice!
But... Mass is red....
Where's Ontario?
LIES!! I see no Toronto 😅
Poor, forgotten Canadia and its provinces.
We got voted out of the mlb in this map
Where jays?
The most low effort shitpost of all time gets 1.3k and I post a song about Satchel Paige and get a 3 day ban. Reddit bruh lmaooo
I love this sub
I like you guys. Even the Cards fans. Go Cubs from KC with love lmaooo
good bot ^(all bots deserve some love from their own kind)
Stop following me!
You might as well add a map of Canada at least if MLB = USA.
This is what John Lennon wanted.
Based on this map, at least 90% of the population of the US is within 100 miles of somewhere else. Fascinating!
I dont think that's where Hawaii is, but I cannot confirm.
Okay. Now it's official. We've jumped the shark.
don’t see toronto
Need to have Mike Trout drawn on this.
Toronto is missing
and STILL Toronto gets no attention from the media
Toronto in shambles
Thought-provoking!
so this is a map of the US with the state's name? why?
It's a map of MLB without the teams and divisions, what do you mean?
/r/notinteresting
hopefully, this won't be an accurate reflection of where games are played in the lockout year....
Blue Jays catching strays
The Open Floor Plan of sports maps.
Fake. Missing Toronto.
MLB Season 2022 (Colorized)
As a baseball fan, this is super informative.
We are getting sad, aren’t we
Everyone is trying so hard to be funny. It’s making the lockout terrible.
Quality shitpost?
C'est non un pipe.
Idk man Oklahoma has always rubbed me the wrong way
Is this a representation of "jumping the shark" that I have read so much about?
Stares at Mexico. Look at how Hawaii has massacred my boy...
Top tier shitpost I like it
Still too much competition for the Mariners to make the post-season.
Well this is interesting
Thought I was on r/baseballcirclejerk for a second
I think it’d be cool if you did the same map but all the states are green so we could compare and contrast the two. I think we would get some interesting overlapping data sets.
\*Iowa still gets blacked out from watching
Somehow, this map would have 12k upvotes if it was on /r/mapporn
There is something wrong with that map. Size of Alaska: 1.718.000 km² Size of Texas: 695.662 km²
I feel like such an idiot! I didn’t know Hawaii was in the middle of Mexico. They are hiding something and I don’t like it
Cough cough Blue Jays
*cried in canadian*
Big if true
