people in the lower 48 don't usually think about how big alaska is. if you were to lay alaska flat over the lower 48 with the western aleutians in california, untold millions would die from the force of the impact and human civilization as we know it would surely be destroyed
My favorite thing about Alaska is how the comparatively rural areas vote the Democratic party (they are filled with native Alaskans) and the comparable urban areas vote Republican (comparatively is key, they're semi-urban at best). I love backwards land.
Get over yourself! Human civilization wouldn’t end if ‘Merica disappeared - can you just imagine the ‘so sad you’re gone’ parties that would happen though?
That’s where you are wrong. If you lay Alaska flat over the lower 48 the curvature of the Earth would ensure only people in Kansas and Missouri get crushed.
Let's try it anyway
I appreciate you.
Sounds bad. I'm happy we decided to keep it up there, where it belongs
Yes ✋
“Please Alaska, don’t hurt us.”
- things a sub would say for $200, Alex
We gotta test that theory

I did not realize that Alaska was completely detached from the rest of the US
Sweden is a US simp
Don’t feel bad, a lot of Americans think New Zealand is part of Australia and can’t differentiate between the two accents.
I had no idea that Canada, France, China, New Zealand, and Antarctica were all allied political blocks.
Unfortunately this is mostly incorrect. Canada, Australia, UK, US are allied political blocks. We newly have an fbi office here and i am assuming that the cia has been fucking with our politics for a while now
I'm mostly making a joke about how Antarctica is colored green on the political map matching those other countries, when it should be neutral white.
Ah gotcha
It’s a start
This feels like an abandoned Roland Emmerich screenplay
The part of Alaska where the polar bears live is bigger than where humans live.
Works for me!
worse ways to go
What if it was only the top three inches of Alaska
alaska is bigger than california. alaska is bigger than texas. alaska is bigger than alaska.
My favorite Alaska/Texas joke: Q: If Alaska were split in half, what would Texas be? A: The third largest state.
you could fit all the lower 48 states in alaska and still have room for hawai'i and alaska
@trentyn.bsky.social can you confirm as an Alaskan?
Sounds like a plan.
We must destroy Alaska before they attempt this
Shhh Trump will try and take it and rename it Trumpska. He loves land… 😉
I can't believe they were gonna do that with Greenland had they managed to buy it and take if home to America
What a great idea!
ok let’s make this happen
Right, but what would the downside be?
The premise that a state could be laid flat over any part of any country is ridiculous. Exactly what is the point when you have such a sparsely populated place? Alaska population less than 750k Brooklyn NY population 2.6 million Visitors to NYC 2024 64 million
How to piss off a proud Texan: Point out that if we split Alaska in two, Texas would be the third largest state
Oh, sure, and they say Ohio is the problem... Smh smh
Yeah, same with Oklahoma, according to Stitt. He thinks Oklahoma is gonna be in the top ten in education. It's 50th after six years of him. Governor Henry handed off 17th to Mary Fallin and she started the decline. Companies don't move to ignorant states.
