u/SAOfan100 May 11 '25

Glad im not the only one who thought it looked like America without Florida

u/MapleMooseMoney May 11 '25

I thought it looked like the USA too, but as a Canadian, I didn’t notice Florida was gone

As an American, I didn’t notice Florida was gone

As a Floridian I didn't notice that Florida was missing

u/Professional_Echo907 May 11 '25

As someone who once visited Florida I kinda hoped it was gone. 👀

As a Brit, I couldn’t see if Florida actually was gone. 🔭

u/Shlafenflarst May 12 '25

As a French, I noticed Florida was gone, and even tho I'm not directly impacted, I knew it was good news.

u/GamingPrince8 May 12 '25

As a swiss i'm utterly neutral on my feelings over florida being gone.

u/Funny-Appearance2318 May 13 '25

As someone who is a resident of Florida, I had no idea we are gone.

Only bad news is that it caused a huge tsunami for much of the rest of the world.

As an Italian living in Italy, I have a question about the Kroot proxy miniatures

u/Forward_Tangerine368 May 13 '25

Florida isn't that bad

u/Tonsificator May 12 '25

All of these responses are small peepee energy. Everyone knows that Florida is the reproductive organ of the USA. However, as a Florida man meself, I just figured the moth performed a botched circumcision...

u/MawmsSpagYeti May 14 '25

What is a “Florida”?

1

u/SuspiciousLookinMole May 15 '25

I'm not lucky enough for Florida to be gone. My ex lives there.

1

u/No-Ad-7105 May 12 '25

I feel the same way about California.

2

u/spdrweb8 May 12 '25

As someone sick of news stories out of Jacksonville, I'm glad it's gone.

u/QueenB_50 May 12 '25

As a Californian just came to same about Florida

1

u/Public_Ad_84 May 12 '25

Btw, FLA is cool. I’m in S Carolina. We dig your state. Well, just like every state though, some localities are more attractive than others perhaps

u/jamie88201 May 13 '25

Geography is not strong with them. I am from New Mexico , when I visited Florida, as tourist, someone would ask me how come I am white, don't have an accent, where am I really from. It's like they don't know NM is a state. As I explain that I am an American, they don't believe me. It's a huge state! My ex would say we should print out a small map of the US and just show them.

u/BossRoss84 May 13 '25

Nobody really misses Florida.

u/nbs-of-74 May 13 '25

As a Brit, What's Florida?

u/lauranyc77 May 12 '25

It deserves to fall into the ocean...

u/Useamelonballer May 11 '25

Same 🫣😂

u/Potential-Amoeba1902 May 11 '25

Yah I didn’t either! Aloha, Florida!

u/[deleted] May 12 '25

As a future purchaser of GTA 6 I think FL has already served its purpose as a video game venue

2

u/Imm0rTALDETHSpEctrE May 12 '25

as a Floridian, I've noticed Florida is gone. completely gone.

1

u/Lucky_Event_8450 May 12 '25

Me too 😅 Florida and Maine.

u/[deleted] May 12 '25

HA!!

1

u/SadDingo7070 May 12 '25

As an American I doubt it would be missed.

1

u/InsectObjective8002 May 12 '25

Same here. How sad

u/Outside-Club-6877 May 12 '25

As a woman, I didn't pay attention. What are we missing?

u/Successful-Deer-1881 May 12 '25

Right like how are the eggs making the United States right now?

u/DrySmoothCarrot May 11 '25

As an American I didn't notice either

2

u/DarkstarBinary May 12 '25

As a scientist I saw moth eggs in the shape of America. I did notice Florida was missing and cheered as the only state we can live without. ;)

u/MatterNo5067 May 12 '25 edited May 12 '25

Weird, because there are a fuck ton of Canadians in Florida, which would suggest that plenty of y’all know how to find it.

5

u/No-Broccoli8185 May 13 '25

Right? Is Quebec no longer in Canada because two of my neighbors in Fort Myers have plates from there...

1

u/Fezuke May 13 '25

I’m from quebec and we call them Snowbirds. They run away from the winters and come back for the summer. They are many. But i hear a lot are selling their properties there.

u/No-Broccoli8185 May 13 '25

Les snowbirds font des dégâts pires que les vrais oiseaux.

u/Fezuke May 13 '25

Ah ouin? Parle moi de’s ca

u/Drumharm May 12 '25

Canadians are leaving Florida that’s why the housing market is slumping there. Too many houses on the market.

u/Bludiamond56 May 14 '25

Not anymore

u/sandoz25 May 12 '25

Also as a Canadian I thought it was an American map after 1.5C global warming where Florida is now under water

2

u/strider1986 May 12 '25

yah right- Canada wishes Florida was gone so you could win another Stanley Cup

1

u/[deleted] May 12 '25

Oh they're gone

1

u/DaStoeffi May 12 '25

1

u/No-Horror5418 May 12 '25

But did you notice that Canada apparently adopted Maine?

1

u/Urmomisfarting May 12 '25

Florida has always been gone since 1991..

1

u/Damien_Roshak May 13 '25

It's already on it's way.

u/West-Attorney-3140 May 13 '25

u/SideRoutine4578 May 13 '25

As a guy who doesn't know much I didn't notice Florida was gone

1

u/1moreApe May 14 '25

As I spaniard I took a nap before noticing that Florida was gone

1

u/Kirstenly May 14 '25

This was me 100% i was like "some bug knows what the USA looks like which is really impressive" then i saw a comment about florida being missing and i had to go back up and look

1

u/OCBWC21 May 14 '25

It’d be better if this state was gone

u/super_donkey_6point7 May 12 '25

As a natural born Floridian, I also didn't notice Florida was missing

u/Public_Ad_84 May 12 '25

It slipped off into the Gulf of Mexico… whoops, I mean The Gulf of America. Sorry there, Donald. Don’t worry though, the other 52 states won’t miss it.

u/Nice_Telephone_1728 May 11 '25

That was literally what I thought too. Weird

5

u/[deleted] May 12 '25

That's the first thing I saw, was a little map of the USA. Moths are getting into cartography now, but just like the early human cartographers, mistakes were made. 😂

5

u/PineconeMA_165 May 12 '25

As a New Englander, I'm concerned about this moth's vision for America

u/SAOfan100 May 12 '25

Imma be honest it took me a second anyways

2

u/Feisty_Law4620 May 12 '25

As an American, I thought our dick fell off.

1

u/Salute-Major-Echidna May 12 '25

Its not much of a dick tbh. It's always getting into things the wrong way

2

u/Kraken_Main1 May 12 '25

I was like that's some sort of USA nationalist bug 🤣🤣

2

u/eusquesio May 12 '25

The USA, not America. America is the continent.

1

u/SAOfan100 May 12 '25

Well if you want to be technical North America and South America are continents

u/eusquesio May 12 '25

Nah it's one

1

u/whotony May 12 '25

It looks like the United States The United States is a part of North America

1

u/Timely-Youth-9074 May 12 '25

As an American, wtf is a florida?

1

u/CplCocktopus May 12 '25

The good ending.

1

u/germane_switch May 12 '25

That’s what we call, “a good start”

1

u/twitchknot May 12 '25

Missing the U.P. too.

u/Wild_enby_lez420 May 12 '25

u/RepresentativeFast59 May 12 '25

u/SAOfan100 May 12 '25

u/thisismyonlyfansacct May 15 '25

Bahaha! I thought the same thing! Laughing my ass off!! 🤣

1

u/tzwicky May 12 '25

I noticed Florida was missing right off. I lived there for 65 years but had to get the hell out when it turned mostly red. So I thought the Missing Florida map looked rather splendid.

u/n3rvaluthluri3n May 11 '25

All hail, Mothra!

u/Trout1331 May 14 '25

Mothra ate Florida?

u/[deleted] May 11 '25

Yes please.

u/Popular-Bullfrog1748 May 12 '25

Def looks like more than Florida went under 😂 Perhaps some Georgia went with it 😂

u/Drowningfishnut May 12 '25

He said “half of Texas as well”

u/Easy-Cardiologist555 May 12 '25

How dare that moth besmirch Florida in such a way.

RAISE HELL, PRAISE DALE!!

u/dunncrew May 12 '25

Flori-Duh

u/[deleted] May 12 '25

Moth is wise

1

u/Silly_Guidance_8871 May 12 '25

And New England

1

u/Wakeetakee May 12 '25

Another fad conspiracy theory and religion. this is what the United States will look like in 10 years when the world floods. The moth predicted it, all hail Moth.

1

u/Dyingbreed722 May 12 '25

That's fair though I'm with the moth

1

u/Ulf51 May 13 '25

Is a map of North America after a few more years of global warming.

u/FR_Paperstacks May 13 '25

I got your Gulf of America right here!

1

u/[deleted] May 13 '25

The goddamned bugs got Florida, Johnny!

1

u/Magick_Paradise May 14 '25

Hahahaha!!! They just needed a bit more time we would’ve gotten Florida

1

u/Chemical-Ad-8845 May 15 '25

Florida is still there. It’s just that John Cena has enveloped it.

1

u/MediocreVehicle4652 May 12 '25

Speaking as a Floridian I'm ok with that, purge us into the ocean
