So this is how Hollywood aliens see earth
No Alaska. Just NYC, LA, and a couple spots between.
Alaska is basically Wyoming
They usually see London and Paris when looking for monuments to destroy
But only very specific parts. In fact, if aliens invade and you’re in Paris or London, just stay away from the general vicinity of the Eiffel Tower or Big Ben and you’ll be fine.
Which country will they sell weapons and send airstrike to if they are the only country in the world?
Texas
Edit: also I just remembered the air strike range in Utah, so there too
Texas and Florida are the natural third world countries to invade. Especially texas. The US would move quickly to secure the energy resources and ‘free’ the citizens of a corrupt failed state.
See, I know what you’re trying to say, but that would unironically be an improvement for most of us…
Damn Hawaii, you’ve been eating well
It’s American.
Someone forgot about the colonies. Guam, Puerto Rico, and the USVI.
Nope they are fictional
And American Samoa.
Oh fine. Just tell Midway Atoll to fuck off, why don’t you?
Technically, Midway is considered uninhabited, so while I wouldn’t dream of telling them to fuck off, most census measurements already do…
That’s because census takers are smart enough to keep away from the monk seals.
No one cares about them
Just like real life.
Don’t forget to forget about American Samoa, too.
If the US territory were to exist on its own, there wouldn’t be a
nUnited States.A United States. You wouldn’t say “an uniform”. You would say “an underling”. First one has a y sound to start, second has a u sound to start. The usage of a/an depends on the next sound, not the next letter.
I’m gonna say “a uniform” and u can’t stop me
I’m gonna read the u as an oo and oo can’t stop me
You wouldn’t say “a uniform”.
Why the hell not?
because ‘a’ vs ‘an’ is dependant on the first sound not the first letter. For some reason the “yew” in uniform counts as a consonant.
Yes, so ‘a uniform’ is the correct formatting, not ‘an uniform’.
oh, you were concerned about a typo and not the logic behind their comment?
It’s kind of an important typo when it flips the entire meaning of the comment!
You wouldn’t say “an uniform”.
You would if you wanted to be an jerk about it.
It wouldn’t look the same, but the US could domestically produce enough food and energy to sustain itself.
That could probably be said about anywhere, given time, money, and willingness to reduce population.
I could probably build an underground vertical farm in the Sahara and feed myself, if I pumped in saltwater to desalinate.
I don’t think that’s true. Many, many countries don’t have what it takes to self sustain in a modern world.
I mean, it absolutely could. California alone supplies the planet with a massive percentage of food. If the this image was accurate, we’d have a surplus of food. We might just have to tolerate losing a lot of stuff we can’t (?) grow, like bananas. Or they’d be remarkably expensive because only Hawaii or Florida or somewhere that could grow them.
Power? Again, we have collosal amounts of energy or energy potential. From green energy to fossil fuels and natural gas. Without selling it to our allies, we’d have a surplus of energy.
This is literally why America is the superpower. But a lot of countries could likely do this. Russia could for sure too.
Economically, however, I can’t even speculate.
Fun thought experiment, worthy of a Kutzgesagt video!
Edit: I thought you said “couldn’t” but I already posted so 乁༼☯‿☯✿༽ㄏ
Nah you did good explaining it in detail, nice work.
Did you just point a camera down a toilet after taking a massive capitalist shite? 😂
