My favorite Texas dig is: If you cut Alaska in half, Texas would be the third biggest state.

Bigger in everyway! Bigger crime, bigger gun problem, bigger capture by oil companies, bigger environmental damage, bigger racism, bigger highways... The list goes on!

Sincerely, Australia; where two states are bigger than Alaska, and all but 2 states and 1 of 2 real internal territories are bigger than itty-bitty Texas.

Alaska: "We have the biggest state!"
Texas: "How long does it take to drive across?"
Alaska: "We wouldn't know, we've never left Anchorage."

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Not to defend Texas, but Alaska has waaaaaay more crime. At least if we're talking about violent crimes. I wanted to move there once, but I decided against that based mostly on that factor. Approximately 8 in every 1000 people will commit a violent crime in Alaska. For reference, Texas is about 5.

Russia: We can fix that.
If they keep their Berings Strait!

TIL the claimed Australian Antarctic Territory is six times the size of Texas.

Interesting, TIL. My intuition when looking at maps somehow had me wrongly estimate California as larger than Texas. But Alaska is of course in a league of its own.

Alaska: our mountains are so huge, weather so severe, and land so vast, that mankind does not have the ability to build roads across our state. Come at me, Texas.

But Texas has 40 times the population

I mean yeah, the Australian Antarctic Territory (that we basically inherited from the UK, IIRC) is fucking massive. But it's also what we call an "external territory", so I wasn't counting it.
The internal territories are the Northern Territory (practically a state for our purposes here) and the Australian Capital Territory (similar to America's District of Columbia, but with real legislative representation!). Oh, and the Jervis Bay Territory, but for most practical intents and purposes that's another arm of the ACT.

Texas: the biggest usable state.

Yep. One guy in my class had an exchange student from Texas. Absolute biggest asshole. A real advertisement for Texas: "Never go to a state where they breed idiots like that."

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Texas is almost as long as California but quite a bit more thicc.
One additional factor, though, is that California's major cities are mainly spread all along its lengthy coastline, while most of Texas's major cities (Fort Worth, San Antonio, Houston, Austin, Dallas, etc) are clustered in the interior, decently far but not that far from one another. So going between Austin/Houston/Dallas is not necessarily as daunting a trip as going from Los Angeles to San Francisco.

No, that is just the biggest state.
