I know that's probably not what was meant, but I'm reading "seals" as the animals, and the image is glorious.

Surprised Hawaii doesn't just say "Ask Japan how it went"

Minnesota is also missing the "wears shorts in winter" tag.

Happens all the time in negative degree weather.

[–] CaptnNMorgan@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

That tag could probably be on the entirety of the North. From Michigan

The Pacific Northwest would be horrible to invade. Even if the people don't offer much resistance trying to get through the Rocky Mountains would be disastrous. But they actually have militias out there too.

One small fix

Ah yes, those dangerous gangs of San Louis Obispo in California are really getting out of hand!

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 8 points 11 hours ago

I think they're trying to reference LA and don't realize how far south it actually is.

I'm far more afraid of the Nazis in Baton Rouge running this state than I am of Acadians hunting out in the swamps. Just don't go in the swamp! The Nazis are actively making life worse whether you seek them or not.

[–] Chanceschaos@lemm.ee 8 points 16 hours ago

As an Acadian I totally agree.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 16 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

You forgot about the Illinois Nazis.

[–] slackassassin@sh.itjust.works 17 points 16 hours ago

I hate Illinois nazis.

As a resident of "this part wouldn't be that tough", i disagree. The entire Cascade range extending from the top of the central valley to the top of Washington, extending out to the ocean, is very very rough, steep, heavily forested terrain that would be absolute hell to get any kind of equipment through if the locals were to blow up a grand total of three bridges on three separate highways.

Also I always like to point out that Oregon has more guns per person than Texas, most people assume Oregon = Portland.

Also, fat chance invading the USA from the Pacific. That's like trying to get through a chastity belt by putting your dick in the padlock.

Replied to the wrong comment. Leaving it because.

Americans are the premier naval power.

Hawaii, Midway and other Pacific islands having monitoring stations.

The Pacific isn't as easy to cross as you think due to it's size and it has some nasty ass storms.

Pair that with the coastal regions usually having cliffs rather than somewhere a landing craft could pull up and it isn't easy for a start.

Now mix in people who know the terrain and don't want you there.

you do conquer it but the locals keep trying to feed you organic, wild harvested, artisanal Amanita soup

Also: the emerald triangle and that whole area of NorCal are the far-right wackos who regularly fly the state of Jackson flags, they're heavily armed and waiting to shoot people up there

Texas should just say "Guns".

North Dakota should probably be "no civilization, no resources, and no warmth."

Does it really have oil?

And I know it's got a fuckton of missile silos but I imagine in an invasion they aren't terribly useful. I guess maybe an after you take complete control then it is

[–] pixelscript@lemm.ee 9 points 15 hours ago (4 children)

Hey now, we have some resources. Like... uh... hotdish?

Why are you walking away, weren't you invading?
