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

[–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 34 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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 1 year ago (3 children)

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 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

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

What's going on with Hawaii, then?

[–] VeryVito@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Total land area, maybe?

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

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

Poor Weeoming.

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

A new way of gerrymandering.
