State flags

40 comments

I can't decide if the subject or the hand coloring of the states bothers me more
- Contiguous Michigan is personally the most upsetting to me.
  
  Yeah split my state back in half you weirdo. Its supposed to be 2 peninsulas.
  
  According to the law of US Canada Border Dominance, if a Michigander pisses into Lake Superior then it becomes part of the state.
  Ontarians and Manitobans are trying hard to compete at the pissing contest.
  
  Does it help to know that Michigan is also the wrong color on top of all of that? There are toes obscured by shoes on it:
- That just adds to the authenticity. That there is a working mans map
- Well?
  
  Which was it?

Time to update Minnesota
- Minnesota doesn't have toes anymore
  
  So it's just Minna now?
  
  Does too, they are just slightly off flag. You can see them when gojira finishes his radiation breath

Hey Minnesota diesnt have toes anymore
- Big step up
  
  Stepping? Without toes? Stumbling, more like.
- Nor Utah?
- Hey Minnesota diesnt have toes anymore
  Technically, the new flag doesn't come into use for another 5 months or so, assuming the legislature doesn't stop it.
  It does look pretty slick, though.

Feet fetishists are out of control.

Ah yes, the Tarantino US map.

Virginia has toesies AND booba, can we get our own category
- State flags that have boobs:
  Virginia
  Checkmate.
- Sure, but you're still not getting that traitor rag back.
  
  but muh heritage or whatever 🙄

RIP colorblind people

This literally explains everything wrong in America

Why isn't this part of social studies curriculum? I'm embarrassingly old to just be learning this now.

TIL that George Washington(WA state) doesn't have toes.

Massachusetts should be orange tho

This is slightly misleading. The Kansas flag, for example, does have human toes hidden by dirt rather than shoes (or shoes if we do not assume the farmer is standing in the plowed rut). I question the selection methodology. Since there are readily visible hooves on the KS flag as well as hidden human toes, should we assume that all of the yellow states also have human toes hidden? We can’t because of, for example, California, which has bear toes and no human.

The liberal agenda is state flags with feet. At least it's better than when they copypasta the racist confederate flag on to a state flag.

My state's flag not only has toes, it has bear feet.

I've never been into flags, but I am amazed that I'm only just now learning that my state flag is not, in fact, an eagle holding an olive branch and arrows.

New Jersey's should possibly be orange because you cant see their feet

Civil War between these regions — who would win?
- No Toes comes in at the most states with 25, including Texas, and the highest population at 139 million. Second is Animal Toes with 11 states and 93 million people, California being a big help there. Florida and New York help get the seven Toes states into 3rd with 75 million, and the last seven Shoes states, with no highly populous states, come in at 27 million.
  Not saying this is all that would determine the winner of a war, I just wanted to see what the numbers look like.

I did a trust but verify and I was not disappointed.

No toes on my flag 😞
