    I like how the map shows the curvature of the north border (49th parallel), meaning all these lines bulge north in the middle.

      Linux isn't derived from Unix, just originally based on it. The BSDs and Darwin (Mac) would be the unfortunate casualties, but at least most of the country won't be stuck with Windows?

      Edit: And, I guess, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4/5. The former "borrowed" the networking stack from OpenBSD, and the latter are based on some BSD variant if I recall correctly.

            Believe it or not, those two terms are used interchangably and somehow no one gets confused. A continent AND a country can both have the same name without the world ending.

              “America” is a shortened name for “United States of America,” in addition to the name of the continent. It can be both, you know.

                I think “America” implies a hierarchy, dominance, and soothes their egos though

                  Yup. They misappropriated a continent's name to feel more important. Otherwise they would feel smaller than Australia presumably.

                          Edit: fine, I guess we're obligated to like it.

                                  I think to most of those people it's like the US is trying to "steal" the name America from the rest of the continents, but it's really only the Spanish speaking parts of the Americas that feel that way about it. But they can have it their way in their language, and it doesn't detract from anything. It's like getting pissy because some cultures count continents by separating Europe from Asia and others have Eurasia (without even getting started on Afro-Eurasia).

                                          Which sports team am I supposed to root for with this map? Do you expect me to make a careful analysis of team history and current lineup? Or do I pick the one in the state I was born in like a normal person?
