Idk what bothers me more, that this inaccurate or that someone took the time to do this, and then did so inaccurately.

Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don’t message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.
Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.
No impersonating mods I can’t believe I had to make this rule.
No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.
Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say “take time to grow and come back when you are ready”.

Illinois isn't land locked dipshit, it borders the same lake that Michigan and Wisconsin do. Same for Indiana.
Never mind Canada and Mexico I guess.
Oceanfront property in Arizona is real now
Same with North Dakota, I could swear they didn't have any beaches.
I learned to swim!
Ah yes, the famous northern shipping ports in Montana.
And Indiana..
I got some news for you about your northern border
They removed the 51st state /s
Now THAT'S a gulf of America!
In this map, are Alaska and Hawaii just where they are to be shown, or...?
There would be a lot less citizens to fleece.
Sorry, but if Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio, Arizona, New Mexico, Idaho, Montana, and Vermont are on the map, so should Illinois be.
It wouldn't be the first time that the middle of the US was underwater...
Western interior seaway!
North Dakota has no business on this map.
Nor does new Mexico or Arizona. Like I can respect the great lakes as waterways but Mexico isn't one
More like: states with only internal borders removed.
Then why Hawaii? It only has no international borders.
Trade
sooooo... some great lakes states are landlocked but some are not and then apparently being next to canada or mexico makes one not landlocked???
There is no Mexico or Canada, it's all water on this map.
Somehow, NM being landlocked and all, we still have access to the Raton Pass Waterslides!
WHEEEEEE!!!
Who gives a shit about illinois.
And Indiana.
America would name it something stupid life Freedom Patriot Eagle Fuck lake.
Also, Americans who forget they have neighbours on maps but hating their neighbours IRL need therapists.
Is this implying that Alaska would be an island?
I mean, just look at it!
I feel like the Mississippi adjacent states shouldn’t be considered landlocked (and probably the Missouri River ones too). Also Idaho, Montana, North Dakota etc need to go. As well as NM and AZ.
Fun fact: Idaho has an ocean port accessible through a Columbia River tributary.
Lake Michigan take over.
oh look honey, we're coming up on the gulf of RACIST PATHETIC PASTY CHRISTIANS
