Can I ask why Lisbon is it’s own thing?

SadArtemis,
@SadArtemis@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Because it’s funny. And Portugal being left alone (other than the loss of the Algarves and various islands) didn’t seem fair

That’s fair lol. The Açores are finally free!

jabrd, in Better Europe, anyone?

Virtually every large nation should be cracked up as well if you want to follow through with the logic. The amazonian basin would be a series of micro states. China has what like 50 recognized minority ethnic groups within its borders

But that’s not what I want, nor what I’d find funny- it would be wholly counterproductive, as it would just leave Europe on equal footing with the rest of the world.

If anything, the next step I’d take would be creating more large federations and supranational unions, though sadly these wouldn’t be very realistic. A United Arab Republic stretching from Mauritania to Oman, the return of the Soviet Union, or Mexico’s historical borders, the East African Federation or some unions of the Congo/DRC, Burkina Faso/Mali/Niger, or Maphilindo… maybe even the dreams of pan-Africanism manifest as some “superstate Africa” or hell, some holy trinity of the Soviet Union reborn, China, and India all holding hands, singing “kumbayah,” and delivering a spanking for the Anglosphere.

If it made any sense whatsoever (sadly it doesn’t), I’d make a “Celtic union” featuring Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Manx, Cornwall, Brittany, and Galicia as well- or I’d make a true Yugoslavia stretching from Slovenia to Bulgaria, or better yet a Balkan union like was historically proposed, with all the south Slavs, Romania, Hungary, Greece, and Albania- hell, bonus points for Cyprus and Turkey as well. Or I’d revive al-Andalus, but this time with all the other Maghreb states in a union. Or of course, the most ideal borders would simply be an entirely Soviet Europe.

The whole point is an (entirely and completely deserved, but also hypothetical shitpost of a) western Europe screw.

jabrd,

Oh I thought we were fucking around with taking national liberation to its logical conclusions and breaking things up into as small of chunks as possible. Didn’t realize it was a piss take in the other direction

With me it’s always a piss take in the other direction 👍

REEEEvolution, (edited ) in Better Europe, anyone?

The US and Japan look interesting. Is that a split Philipines I see? Did the prison colony become more or less cringe? India also seems different.

edit: You cheeky bastard! You split Germany up even more, but Swabia still has to suffer Western Germany.

SadArtemis,
@SadArtemis@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Prison colony definitely became less cringe. As for Swabia, my bad lol, I’ll deal with it when I eventually get to another iteration

Why doesn’t the UAR include all Arab countries?

SadArtemis,
@SadArtemis@lemmygrad.ml avatar

The map was made with “drawing borders on the present (2023) world” in mind, admittedly. So I simply didn’t think to include them for similar reasons to why I didn’t include all of former Yugoslavia, or remade the Soviet Union… Egypt and the Gulf presumably would need a lot of time to settle into the idea (Jordan, Lebanon, and Kuwait would too, but it “works”)

Tsh. Nearly the whole continent needs “undergoing denazification” subtitles. 😅Otherwise amazing!!

@ComradeSalad@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Granted, what were the Soviet forces supposed to do? Keep pushing past the lines established during the Yalta conference and fire on the British and Americans to trigger a Third World War? What would the Soviets have gained from several million more dead? In our world they were already facing a devastating demographics crisis that has lasting effects till today, and even if they had somehow achieved some sort of victory, the population would have crashed to irrecoverable levels.

Yankees, actually Churchill planned to attack first so it would be self defense if it happened.

ComradeSalad,
@ComradeSalad@lemmygrad.ml avatar

True, but that was an extremely small clique that was laughed at and told to can it. McArthur and Churchill were considered insane for their assault plans.

or just regular squid. Those things are freaky

Mmmm Calamari, yum.

I don’t care how freaky it looks if it tastes good.

Bigger squid = More Calamari

One time someone said something and I misheard them, so the sentence sounded ungrammatical and nonsensical to me, like something beyond my conventional understanding of the world thus far. I instantly lost my sanity

Lovecraftian horror: WITNESS MORTAL! I AM A HORRIFYING BEING BEYOND COMPREHENSION!

Me: Man what the fuck am I even looking at?

Lovecraft favourite word was “unspeakable”. Also, after seeing the true horrors of capitalism, big squid isn’t anything significant.

@BenEarlDaMarxist@lemmygrad.ml avatar

"I’ve seen comprehensible horrors far more terrifying than your confusing existence will ever impact me."

  • You probably

Edit: In all seriousness, fair, capitalism’s crimes are basically just, crimes against humanity, the show, to the point that any horror you can think of seem like a joke compared to what capitalism and their cronies are willing to commit in order to survive and generate a profit.

Just wait until you see a colossal squid

Kirbywithwhip1987,
@Kirbywithwhip1987@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Is it bigger than Giant? Since the current maximum length for Giant Squid is 18 meters, I say current since the older they are, the more deeper they live, which means that we possibly saw not fully grown ones on the surface and they could be even larger…

Rasm635u,
@Rasm635u@lemmygrad.ml avatar

When you say “bigger”, are you referring to mass or length?

Kirbywithwhip1987,
@Kirbywithwhip1987@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Bigger in length, for example T-Rex is the heaviest dinosaur theropod while Spinosaurus and Giganotosaurus are bigger i.e taller and longer.

Bigger in size.

Rasm635u,
@Rasm635u@lemmygrad.ml avatar

But to answer your question, the colossal squid is more massive (heavier) than the giant squid

Rise and shine, Mr. Freeman. Rise and… shine. Not that I… wish to imply you have been sleeping on the job. No one is more deserving of a rest… and all the effort in the world would have gone to waste until… well, let’s just say your hour has… come again.

The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world. So, wake up, Mr. Freeman. Wake up and… smell the ashes…

ComRed2, (edited ) in Me when I see Giant Squid

I’ve seen enough hentai to know where this is going.
