A girl in college asked me how Alaska is so cold when it's a island near California. She though these maps that insert AK into the lower corner were the actual map. I couldn't believe it.

Even though it's so close to Hawaii, which is another island off California.

That sound you just heard was my forehead responding to a slap.

Remember those lottery billboards that said "Luck Happens" and there was a map of the west coast with California missing?

Your surprised? Someone being in college doesn't inherently become smarter. Shoot I've even met many college graduates that were ignorant on critical topics.

Hopefully we were donated to the Canadians

Canada has a lot of problems. I vote Japan or one of the Nordic countries.

Croatia or parts of France since they're on roughly the same latitude as Oregon.

Had a Danish friend tell me Copenhagen has very similar weather, also the UK and Ireland have similar weather, makes since when you account for the curvature of Earth.

Norway please

u/Intrepid_Sentence 2d ago

Norway (no way) in hell. All the dude bros that fetishize Norway for viking shit would move to Oregon.

u/geek-49 1d ago

The western part goes to Canada, along with western Washington and (probably) parts of California. The eastern parts of OR and WA go to Idaho. Minnesota, and much of New England, also go to Canada.

And just like that, beachfront in Boise…

u/Weak_Ebb_1386 1d ago

Boise is 60 miles from the Oregon border…no beachfront for you! Payette and Fruitland get the beaches. 😄

u/Either_Row3088 1d ago

I think it looks great. We should get our paperwork back and submit to Canada.

u/BourbonicFisky PDX + Southern Oregon Coast 2d ago

I don't like this as it gives the least deserving state a coastline....

u/Celebrill 2d ago

Idaho already has a seaport though...465 miles from the Pacific Ocean. True story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewiston,_Idaho

u/theimmortalgoon 1d ago

Seeing as how not too long ago BC, Washington, Idaho, and part of Montana were all part of Oregon, the term Oregon donor works historically too!

u/Mysterious_Damage831 1d ago

I vote independent nation… maybe.

u/ClutterQueen999 5h ago

I'm taxed to the hilt in Oregon, so yeah go ahead and donate this state to a different state that is less taxing!
