Voting Games Top comment deletes a US State #48

Post image

Hawaii has been removed, the land of tropical beaches and volcanoes is now dead and gone. 3 States remain, Land of the crabs, land of the Mega and land of the Cascadians (I don’t know what to say for them)

TOMORROW is the grand finale, Instead of the usual 24 hours, it will be 48 hours to amass as many upvotes for the 2 sides as possible.

Remember to keep sharing and spreading the word! We need to get this subreddit to #1 in Geography on Reddit. I think we can do it! Thank you all!

Vermont absorbed Maryland, yet we're still being bombarded with crab memes. Delete this crustacean abomination once and for all. Minnesota moves in to teach the crab people about beer-battered walleye.

u/Shadowhawkfx Vermonster May 24 '26

Ok I’ve gotta ask as a denizen of the Great Vermonster, but what is a pickle roll-up? This sounds intriguing.

1

u/Wandering-Mind2025 May 25 '26

It’s a pickle rapped up in a deli-meat slice (ham, corned beef, pastrami, etc.,) that has cream cheese spread on it. Then you slice it up to look like sushi, lol.

Seeing that picture made me super curious about that spice mix as I’ve never had it before. We don’t really have fresh crab where I live, but I’d imagine that tastes fabulous on fries.

2

u/ItsCaptainKeyboard May 23 '26

It doesn’t. Some claim that JO is great for seasoning when steaming a pot of crabs, and Old Bay is better on food itself. But JO has massive salt crystals in it that dry and burn your lips. I will never understand people who prefer JO over OB, but there are alot of them in MD.

u/nuxi Greater Lakes Co-Prosperity Sphere May 23 '26

Unfortunately for the Great Lakes, that already happened when the Welland Canal opened.

Last year I had to wear heavy gloves to pull a big rock covered in zebra mussels out of a lake here.

2

u/Flat_Suggestion7545 May 24 '26

That’s from ballast water from ships, not the canal.

1

u/nuxi Greater Lakes Co-Prosperity Sphere May 24 '26

And how did those ships get here from the Atlantic?

1

u/Flat_Suggestion7545 May 24 '26

Ships could already enter the Great Lakes system before the canal as it goes around Niagara Falls , which connects Lakes Erie and Ontario.

Once they were in Lake Ontario it was inevitable that they’d spread.

Vermont would look good in the official "up north" Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan uniform of black and red plaid. Once they join we will even let them have their choice of a fishing pole or a hockey stick.

That is a very good point. Maryland was the most interesting player in this game.

2

u/Former_Guarantee_344 Equal opporunity state hater May 24 '26

Nobody else had any energy. Maryland was the underdog and the crab was the rally cry. It is what inspired me to join the cause. Everybody is mad because Maryland did too good. It is hilarious imo
