Virgin Texas vs Chad Africa

[–] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 9 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Also, there’s the actual Chad, which is bigger than Texas.

Wasn't that the joke?

[–] Didros@beehaw.org 3 points 8 months ago

No, it was a a simple plug and play meme, maybe like "the African Chad" would have made the double joke clear. It's just subtext as is.

This just in... North America is also larger than Texas!

Big if true

Dr. Congo sounds like a reggae musician.

Now put Alaska in there. More Texas humbling.

Or Canada. It’s pretty huge, like the second biggest country after Russia.

[–] card797@champserver.net 1 points 8 months ago

Texans don't care about Canada. We need a domestic size smack down.

We need to make this happen.

Africa > Texas

[–] DigitalAudio@sopuli.xyz 2 points 8 months ago

For many Americans, perhaps this shows just how big Africa is, but conversely I feel that I had never expected Texas to be that big tbh
