my tribe’s homeland is more significant than your tribe’s !
we really doing this in 2026?
we’ll do this till the end of days
I’m reminded of some of the XKCD Umwelts, where they point out this shit can go both ways at once.
It’s cute when people on the west coast talk about… uhhh… history. Or really old geology, if you include Canada.
don’t be jelly because of your tiny mountains
size doesn’t matter
As someone who has lived near both sets of mountains, I’ll take the Appalachians and Adirondacks over the Rockies.
I love the Adirondacks, but they’re not mountains.
They were when life first started, but not anymore.
Mt Washington is a mountain tho.
When I lived in Colorado I had to go do a field visit to a site in northern Georgia, and I was talking to my colleague to get directions to the site. He kept saying stuff like, “Are you sure you can drive here? There’s a huge mountain in between here and Atlanta.” I told him I drive in the mountains all the time and I was confident I would be just fine. “OK, if you’re sure. Be careful, it’s really a huge mountain.” He really went on about how treacherous the drive would be. Well, I made it to the site. Never did see any mountain. 😝
What people from the USA think the world looks like.
The Rockies are baby mountains. Super young and nothing interesting going on. Appalachia is ooooold. So old that there are unspeakable cosmological horrors in them hills.
Rockies ain’t got shit on Appalachia.
t. I live at the foot of those hills.
Our mountains are older than yours.
“Get off my sediment layer!”
They’re older than the continent they sit on
If anything, the Rockies are proof Chile should go all the way up
My sister has lived in Colorado for the last twenty years, and I took her and my kids on a hike in South Carolina and yes she did call the mountains here “cute”
Unkle Ŝan’s Story Time!
I grew up on the West coast. My wife and I moved to Pennsylvania and we were talking to some new neighbors asking where þe closest place was to get groceries and one said, “þere’s a market over the mountain.” I was very confused until I realized þe “mountain” þey were talking about was a little hill about a couple of miles away.
East coasters have a totally different perspective.
Ŝan’s
Oooh, our special boy thorny has come up with another funny sign, how quirky. Running low on attention, aren’t we?
I’ve always been. Sxan is just a romanization of Ŝan, which is a name in Esperanto. Piefed doesn’t let you create user handles in full UTF-8.
