Bottom row is fucked from increasing heatwaves, colors should reflect that
They do reflect that.
“Midwest” needs to be red af
OK, but That’s not bottom row.
Shh theyre from the southeast. Just let them believe what they want. It’s easier.
I want to argue, but Kansas is definitely mid.
The middest of the midmid.
Shouldnt it be SouthMid and NorthMid?
I don’t like this.
This angers me
The projection is what annoys me the most. At least have it line up with latitude/longitude.
in alignment chart terms we’d call that True Mid
Midmid is basically the old Big 8 conference, which made a lot more sense than the bastardized hellscape we have now
I love that SoCal is the midwest now
The real one is equally messed up:
cracks me us there is not southwest as in the desert southwest
Yep, Arizona, Alaska, Hawaii, all the same.
This is obviously poorly designed.
I’d say so too. If you’re in Detroit or Chicago, you’re in the East North Central, Midwest, lol.
For the longest time I assumed the Midwest was a purely descriptive term based on location and not one that was defined… Finding out Ohio was in the Midwest blew my mind.
I’m from the Midwest and so many people when I tell them or discuss being Midwestern have no idea that it’s Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, etc. They treat me like I’m stupid. Well they’re not wrong, but I didn’t make that shit up.
Makes perfect sense to me. The entirety of the USA is in The West™ so the middle of it is The Midwest™.
Think of the time when the name came about (late 1700s or early 1800s), anything beyond the coastal states was “the west” and what they called the Midwest was (kind of) in the middle of it.
Yup. West of the East Coast cities, but not past the mountains. Which for the most part acted as a barrier.
No, it was definitely past the mountains, just not past the other mountains.
“We’ve had mountains yes, but what about second mountains?”
“East North Central” is in the “Midwest”
…
I like it better than the current convention
Missing 49, 50, 51. Alaska, northwest, northwest. Hawaii, west, west. And Canada north, north
Alberta: NorthMidNorth
Giving Midmid.
What is this? A southwest for ants?
Yep, I’m going to the MidEast for a business trip next month.
What? Doha?
No, New York, New York City…
Honestly, I like this version better than the real “Midwest”, which isn’t western at all, and hasn’t been for well over a century. Hell, there were forts on the west coast in 1792.
I mean yeah there were forts there but they wouldn’t be American for another half century. So, I don’t know that that is particularly relevant to this discussion.
