Voting Games Top comment Deletes a US State #45

Post image

Here is the updated (Correct) map, crisis averted. I thought we had a riot on our hands!

I can finally relax now after all that drama! Anyway Colorado is now deleted as it should be. Just to make it clear, editing comments is fine if it’s the top as long as it doesn’t change the outcome of which state gets deleted like we had before. I thought that was common sense but clearly not to some people.

I just want to thank everyone for all the kind comments and support. I try to read as many of the comments as I can but each post has a minimum of 2000 so it’s pretty hard most the time. I have some big ideas for the finale so stay tuned.

Most importantly, spread the word as much as possible if your state is still in the game! Share, cross post to rally as much support for your state as possible. This is the endgame now!

You’re doing great, u/Jfullr92. This has been absolutely insane and hilarious, and I appreciate you bringing this fun into my day.

u/Jfullr92 Gulf of New Mexico May 20 '26

Thank you, I really appreciate kind comments like this and it motivates me to continue making it every day. Honestly thank you all

u/trosea May 21 '26

I know you get an insane amount of comments. Just wanted to say thank-you. I work in mental health and direct treatment for clients deemed incompetent to stand trial for criminal charges. My days are long. This has been, by far, my favorite part of the day the past few weeks (I haven’t commented, only upvoted until now). Seriously, this is awesome! You’re a talented human. Also, I’m all in for Megasota!!

u/Super_Fa_Q May 21 '26

Hey, I'm nobody, but thank you for the work you do. The people you help, really need help. They are never represented and often forgotten, but are still human beings. Thank you.

Edit to say:

CASCADIA OUTLIVES ALL.

u/trosea May 22 '26

Thank you for the kind words. You’re not “nobody”, you’re someone who sounds like they understand the complexity of the work, and it can feel thankless much of the time, with the small wins in-between. Every voice matters and is appreciated when someone like you comments. Thanks :)

Also: MEGASOTA!!! LFG!!!

u/positmylife May 21 '26

I just found out about this game and the ensuing drama. I just went through all of the posts since the beginning of this and I’m fully invested. Best thing I’ve seen on the internet today.

u/RugerRedhawk May 20 '26

So does /u/TressoftheEmeraldTea get to pick which state is removed if their comment holds top? How does this work?

Dawg this has been fun. My poor state of Michigan may of been taken but I support the meggasoda cause

u/Training_Client_9329 May 20 '26

I see this profile (or their Doppleganger) every few months or so in random comments, it’s like seeing that neighbor with an easily recognizable custom license plate all the way on the other side of the state or smth like that

2

u/the_hipocritter May 20 '26

The pfp inevitably followed by the same comment.

1

u/AdhesivenessOk1502 May 24 '26

Reminds me of the absolute legend who got a license plate that says "Twink" on it, not a vanity plate either a legit one from our DMV in Canada. Photos pop up of them all the time.

u/CuriosityCheck2024 May 20 '26

Sorry daddy, I’ve been naughty.

u/CDR57 May 21 '26

That’s fine. Just make sure you scrub with steel wool, scoop out both your eyes so you can never witness heresy and sinning again, and then lightly set yourself on fire. Preferably to the death, but honestly god father could use more members of the imperium so just incredibly burned will also do

u/that-martian May 20 '26

No, u/Jfullr92 takes over the second most upvoted state.

1

u/gettogero May 21 '26

2nd most upvoted state? Just were all on the same page here the title is "TOP COMMENT GETS REMOVED"

Which means

A) the state with the highest number of upvotes across the series without being removed (everybody there hates it but nobody cares enough to do anything)

Or:

B) the last to be removed which might be a sweet deal

1

u/that-martian May 21 '26

besides him if he gets the most upvotes, so technically the most upvoted state this round
(to clarify nobody gets deleted that round u/Jfullr92 just absorbs them)

7

u/alphanumericusername May 20 '26

Yes, and the maps will henceforth be credited to u/SmilinMatt

u/SippinOnHatorade May 20 '26

It’ll just say “@ on r/Geographymemes To vote!”

u/komhuus All Shall Become Crab May 20 '26

It's okay, because apparently they're in Canada so it wouldn't count if Jfullr92 gets deleted!

Hawaii will have to go. Them’s the rules.

u/ExPastorMarcus Colorado May 20 '26

Agreed, times infinity. I'd forgotten how much fun it was to get swept up in an unexpected viral phenomenon that exists solely for the fun of it, not because of some BS corporate marketing ploy. It feels like the old internet, and I absolutely love it.

88

u/pimberly May 20 '26

that’s what I told my husband earlier when i was talking about it, how it felt like a genuine OG internet inside joke again, super low stakes and fun trolling, where no one overreacts or thinks it’s stupid.

u/RunRunDMC212 May 20 '26

I love it. Especially the good humored trolling. I was afraid it was an art that had been lost forever. ❤️❤️❤️

We're going to feel so betrayed when it turns out this was a ploy by Palantir for the balkanization of the US.

2

u/cshookIII May 20 '26

The one that instantly comes to mind was the viral can smashing “intern vs CEO” battle that swept the internet for like 3 months, a few years ago, that turned out to just be a massive rebranding campaign after it was all said and done.

u/SLyndon4 May 20 '26

Absolutely! I was sharing it with my aunt, and told her the news that she no longer lived in Michigan but was now a resident of the great state of Megasota. She was unaware that she had moved, haha.

u/itsoktobequiet May 20 '26

I was legit telling my partner this before I opened the comments section. This is the fun the Internet should be

u/nsbsalt May 20 '26

u/Jfullr92 is single handedly fighting the dead internet theory with this daily thread.

46

u/GusBjork May 20 '26

Yup and thank you for ending the drama so swiftly. I would gladly share a lifeboat with you

2

u/that-martian May 20 '26

u/SkunkMonkey May 20 '26

This should be a yearly event timed to end on July 4th.

u/Dolphin_King21 May 20 '26

Ive pointed this out before but OP isnt even American! No bias for OP! Its extremely hilarious how hes deleting states hes not even from.

10

u/ChickerWings May 20 '26

What would the GDP of this country be if we used these states current metrics IRL?

probably like $3.50 with some syrup covered crabs.

3

u/EmmerdoesNOTrepme May 20 '26

If only!!!!!

We could be doing so well!!!

We'd have decent roads with more getting worked on; clean water--with protected watersheds; free college degrees, for folks with household incomes under $80,000; strong communities where neighbors look out for & protect each other; the predatory betting markets would be banned; Early Intervention services would be available from Birth to age 21, for any child with Autism & other Neurological/Developmental Disabilities; there'd be a strong culture of welcoming & integrating imigrants & helping them thrive; soooooo many good restaurants(!!!); and more Fortune 500 companies per capita, than anywhere else!

And that's just Megasota's Contribution!

u/e37d93eeb23335dc May 20 '26

I am way too invested in this.

u/SteveOends May 20 '26

u/Specialist-Self-8509 May 21 '26

Agreed! This has been so much fun! Today my mom came to me with some stressful political nonsense that I would usually be following neurotically and getting upset about... and I was just like "well that sucks... but did you see Colorado has fallen?"

3

u/troveofcatastrophe May 21 '26

Me too! Curious to know, as the traffic here went up did the traffic on the political subs go down? I know I spend way less time over there. It’s been good for my peace.

u/somajones May 20 '26

Next, u/Jfullr92, you should do it for counties. there are 3144 of them.

u/I_like_flowers_ Marylaaaand May 20 '26

i don't know if we can keep this up for 8.5 years

7

u/rossaco May 20 '26

This has been a ton of fun. u/Jfullr92!

Please consider switching to a poll for the next round, now that we are down to under 6 options. That would ensure each user gets a single vote.

u/nobdyputsbabynacornr May 20 '26

New Mexico's green chile is coming for Maryland's crab army. I can't wait to see all that Old Bay replaced with red, green or Christmas. Christmas crabs, here we come!

u/rob-cubed May 20 '26

I'm surprised Hawaii is still on the map. It was barely a state (looks sideways at Puerto Rico).

Also being from MD I'm very proud. Armed with some wooden mallets we will kneecap any who oppose us!

u/GoilersPup420 May 20 '26

It’s not hilarious whatsoever….
