What does this map mean?

[RandomGirl42]

Hihi all! Since I've been here on G@G I've seen many entertaining and educational questions using maps and today I decided to join in on all the fun too with my very own map question!!! Yay!!! 🥳

And I'll give the answer in a few days if I don't totally forget which could totally happen since we have a fun and busy weekend planned and there is a chance of alcohol consumption and so who knows when I'll actually remember to get back to actually answering this question.

But anyways, today, I ask, What does this map mean?

Actual image of Random's fun map question! Yay! 🥳

Answer: It is illegal to push a moose out of a moving airplane in both Alaska and Maine, though the nature of these laws varies between a specific municipal ordinance and broader state conservation statutes.

Alaska: This prohibition is frequently attributed to a municipal ordinance in Nome, Alaska.

Maine: It is specifically illegal to push a live moose from a moving aircraft.

Why these laws were needed I'm not sure but they are the only 2 states to have it.

[MisterWack]

Two theories (tell me if I’m right if you remember please)

1) They give you money insensitive for moving there.

2) Some kind of health benefit that no other state provides.

Other than that, I got no clue lol.

P. S. Have a fun weekend of alcohol consumption, tell us how it went!

[RandomGirl42]

TY! 😊

[MisterWack]

@RandomGirl42 YW! Always a pleasure

[MisterWack]

@RandomGirl42 Thanks for MHO, and that is crazy you can’t push a moose out of a moving airplane.
“I thought this was America” lmao.

[Staximus]

The only two states that make moose shit earrings

[RandomGirl42]

Mho for getting the moose! 😊

[Tarifa]

@RandomGirl42 As per your update, is it still illegal if the moose is equipped with a parachute, a helmet and boots that will ensure a safe landing?

[Staximus]

Haha thanks, I knew it had something to do with a moose

[RandomGirl42]

@Tarifa It is but I don't make the laws! 🤷‍♀️

[supercutebutt]

There is no safe quantity of alcohol to consume 😞 So you should probably give the answer now just in case.

🪦💐

[RandomGirl42]

Good point! 🤣

[FreyaRed]

Dried moose poop jewelry?

[RandomGirl42]

You had the moose right! 🤣

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

It reminds me the map of a country I studied in the 90s, brings me back to hyperboring memories, not cool. Especially this sickening colour palette. Here's a patch:

[RandomGirl42]

🤣🤣🤣

[abc3643]

The title of easternmost state.

Alaska is both in the Eastern hemisphere and Western hemisphere, so it can be considered as the easternmost state. However, when you think about it in terms of time zones, Maine would be the easternmost state. The date and time of the earliest sunrise among US states occurs in Maine.

[Twodogs0525]

The only two states that don't share a border with another US state. I got A's in biology, so don't even try me when itcomes to things like this!

[RandomGirl42]

Hawaii doesn't either. 😊

[Twodogs0525]

The only states that share a border with only one state. My spell check tucked it up!

[CriminallyInsane]

Alaska doesn't border any state

[Staximus]

Maine is literally attached to New Hampshire, brain surgeon

[Twodogs0525]

I don't need anyone on here trying to make me look dumb, I do a good enough job of that without any help but I appreciate the effort.

[KostasKouvalis]

Maine borders New Hampshire

[Beckybooboo]

Alaska and Maine are the only two states that border only one land entity. Maine borders New Hampshire and Alaska borders British Colombia.

[Beckybooboo]

@Twodogs0525 You are right, though... you don't need any help looking dumb on here 😂😂😂

[KostasKouvalis]

@Beckybooboo And Yukon Territory. MOSTLY, Yukon Territory

[Beckybooboo]

@KostasKouvalis Ah, I didn't realize that lol I remember hearing this a long time ago but only remember British Colombia. Thanks.

[NathanDavis]

knowing you...

it's probably a type of moonshine, that's way more specific to a certain kind of vegetation out there in the woods...

[RandomGirl42]

Oh, good guess! 🤣

[NathanDavis]

close enough...

[ohsheeT]

The place where Jolly Green Giant lives or is it the place that is all legalized marijuana or is it where all the leprechauns live or it's all the places we spend money

[Tarifa]

Green = grass for cows and other grazing animals = they have milk and meat

NO green = NO grass for cows and other grazing animals = they DON'T have milk and meat

Easy as pie.

[Iron_Man]

I don’t think you’re a dumb country girl after seeing your responses in the questions you’re more smarter than that

[RandomGirl42]

More smarter than what? 🤣

[Iron_Man]

You are intelligent and your way above just being a country girl I can tell by your dialogue the way you communicate and bring up certain things you have a good eye for detail as well

[exitseven]

@Iron_Man I get tht too. I

[Iron_Man]

@exitseven she’s a very good actress

[exitseven]

@Iron_Man she has ChatPGT writ her stuff

[RandomGirl42]

@exitseven I do NOT! 🤣

[Iron_Man]

She is an American actress, random girl

[KostasKouvalis]

Maine and Alaska are the only states that have split electoral votes? I know Maine does for sure, I don't know if Alaska does, but that's all I can think of.

[Sunrising]

My suggestion is it's a map where Blueberries are grown.

[Sunrising]

My second suggestion is States Random has visited on vacation lol.

[Sunrising]

The answer is Maine and Alaska are unique among US states because they are the only states to border one other state (Maine) or have a longer coastline than all the others combined (Alaska). Alaska is also technically the most Northern, Western, and Eastern state due to it's location crossing the 180th meridian.

They are the most Eastern States in the USA.

[DryGermanGuy]

I'm guessing, U. S. states north of the 45th northern latitude circle?

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

The long Canada-US border is at the 49th parallel.

[DryGermanGuy]

@Ad_Quid_Orator
Okay! I'll give the same answer only with 49th, then.

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

Maine doesn't have any territory north of that latitude. The only state besides Alaska that does is Minnesota.

[Xawyx-2]

The green states don't have brown color in them. The brown states have it :P

[douride2]

I have no idea maybe snow on the ground. LOL

[LiamJHayden]

It is a map of state that currently use ranked choice voting.

[Still-alive]

The two states which currently have state wide ranked choice voting implemented

[msc545]

it is the only U. S. state that borders exactly one other state.

[msc545]

Alaska borders no U. S. states at all

[Caurav1997]

Such a intelligent question by the living legend the random girl...
My weekend already begin 🥰

[OneViewpoint]

Northern Appalachia.

[OneViewpoint]

Good to know next time I’m paddling my canoe on Kezar lake or Thomson lake I won’t have to worry about moose falling from the sky.

[exitseven]

it means that you do not live there.

[RedInnocent69]

States with the most snow/worst weather?

[purplepoppy]

Is it decent beer?

[Iron_Man]

Beer are for guys

[Cidknee]

Artic bearing.

[blackeagle007]

Bad weather?

[Thecubs22]

What the?
