The West Virginia is definitely wrong. I’ve personally seen more than 24 waterfalls there.

Take it up with Malcolm Tunnell then.

Boris_NotTooBadinoff,

You’re correct, by a large margin. WV has 275 according to Wikipedia. Now I’m wondering what qualifier was used, was it drop height, discharge, accessible vs inaccessible…

captainastronaut,

Maybe it’s the definition of natural? Are they created by reservoirs or dams? 

i_dont_want_to, in Number of natural waterfalls in each state

Neat, thanks for sharing.

For instances like Rhode Island (5) and Florida (4), the map groups them in the same range, even though Florida is far larger than Rhode Island. I wonder how it would change the map to have the scales be determined by density, like waterfalls/km^2.

Good point.

Fits the topography.

@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

Almost as if the two are somewhat related…

tegs_terry,

I think we’ve cracked it

I’ll stick to the rivers and lakes that I’m used to.

Fine. Don’t go chasing waterfalls.

Be right back going to visit them all.

Boris_NotTooBadinoff,

dan1101,

That’s right, TLC says not to and they’ve never steered me wrong.

See you in a couple of years then

Stupidmanager, in Different Eggs

♫ When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs, every morning to help me get large. Now that I’m grown I eat five dozen eggs, so I’m roughly the size of a barge! ♫

Just imagine sitting down and eating five fucking dozen eggs to start your day. Gaston is insane.

I love the bantam egg on top.

It makes the whole thing look like some kind of ergonomic laptop keyboard, with that egg on top being the mouse clit.

jaybone,

I’d like to see a computer user in 1985 try to parse this.

The most shocking part of this is Florida not being last.

North Dakota is so proud of their waterfall. I’m surprised they dont have more than that.

Delware is at clear size disadvantage.

kobeathris, in Number of natural waterfalls in each state

We have waterfalls in Florida? I guess when a sinkhole forms, water does, indeed fall.

Graphy,

As a St. Pete native I figured it was counting like overflown toilets or something

shalafi,

There’s a place on the Blackwater River I have marked. So far I’ve traced 7 waterfalls trekking uphill from the water side. But I can hear more in the distance!

The biggest one is a monstrous 3’ high.

GiddyGap,

So far I’ve traced 7 waterfalls trekking uphill from the water side. But I can hear more in the distance!

So, I guess you hear 3, at most, in the distance.

Poor Delaware…

West coast, best coast!

mojofrododojo,

I’ll pay the waterfall tax for fewer chuds and legal dope.

mononomi, in The "Margaritaville" cruise ship is up for sale if anyone wants it.

No way they are genuinely putting up an ad for a whole gigantic cruiseschip on boats.com, feels like a joke

TrueStoryBob,

Yep. It’s real. The boats dot com sells passenger ferries and cruise ships along with almost anything else that can float.

Anamnesis, (edited ) in Number of natural waterfalls in each state

Here in Washington it’s hard to imagine waterfalls even being noteworthy. We’ve got way too many mountains and way too much precipitation. We’re lousy with waterfalls. The whole fuckin state is a goddamned waterfall.

It’s interesting that north dakota just has 2 being so far up north
