How is this alphabetical? I keep looking for some logic to it but I can't find it

[-] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 34 points 6 months ago

States starting with A are huge, states starting with W are tiny. (If there were states starting with Z they'd be even smaller)

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 25 points 6 months ago

That's what I originally thought, but if you compare Maine and Alaska, the sizes aren't much different to my eye

[-] Lesrid@lemm.ee 7 points 6 months ago

Maybe he took all the current areas of the states. Then reassigned them alphabetically. Rather than creating new areas.

I don't know, it's a dumb concept anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Then why is Hawaii fucking massive?

[-] Anamnesis@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Yeah, Hawaii is huge and Idaho is way smaller than it actually is, despite it being right behind Hawaii, alphabetically.

[-] VeryVito@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago

States get smaller in alphabetical order. Alabama is huge, while West Virginia is tiny.

[-] Kyuuketsuki@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago

What's going on with Hawaii, then?

[-] VeryVito@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago

Total land area, maybe?

I enjoy this a lot. My favourite is either Luigiana/Waluigiana or the rename for Hawaii

[-] DontTreadOnBigfoot@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

As an Oregonian, I have mixed feelings about this one...

Poor Weeoming.

[-] Cipher22@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

I like how Alaska still doesn't get credit for its real size compared to the lower 48.

[-] AbidingOhmsLaw@lemmy.ml 6 points 6 months ago

A new way of gerrymandering.
