TheMightyCanuck, We’re really fucking stupid. Like… Confederate flags and fuck trudeau signs on every corner kinda stupid.

Chocrates, 2.5Mkm is such a weird way of saying it. It is just 2.5Gm right?
nyoooom, Well no, it’s millions of km², so 2.5M(km)² would actually be 2.5(Mm)² (if my calculations are right)
Grabthar, Hope they changed the combination on that airshield.
halvar, But he is basically right about the numbers, so with this much effort put into his message I hardly think he wasn’t being cynical.
gonzo0815, Yeah, this was obviously a joke.
reattach, Sadly, no - take a look at his XTwitter profile. Almost entirely climate change-denying retweets.
gonzo0815, He can be a climate change denier and still mean the second part as a joke.
halvar, Jesus Christ the point you have to look someone up to decide whether he was joking or not is the point where you should just let it go, in my opinion.
zcd, These are the people that win the elections year after year
Kichae, This finally explains why Alberta insists on calling itself "western Canada".
ObviouslyNotBanana, Alberta being that small is just a false flag guys
Cryophilia, Reminds me of this https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/2aec9f94-ec13-4e9f-b127-584796031fcd.jpeg
BeigeAgenda, Nice touch with Texas inside Texas.
lemmy_get_my_coat, Twice
Selmafudd, Texas. It’s bigger than Texas!
seSvxR3ull7LHaEZFIjM, Alberta can have farms this big because they don’t have any rats. It’s true!

Track_Shovel, The diagram is dogshit though. Why present perimeter when talking about square area? But yeah, the AB guy is saying that there’s a farm that stretches from Lethbridge to Winnipeg wide, and again that distance high. No.
band_on_the_run, Because he’s using a map tool that allows you to draw out a perimeter then calculate both the area contained in that perimeter, and then the actual perimeter itself. Both values are given at the same time like in this image. Here is one such tool that gives you both the area and perimeter at the same time: www.mapdevelopers.com/area_finder.php
Kichae, Why present perimeter when talking about square area?
Because the dumbass made the claim that there are farms that are 1500 km * 1500 km, and the square perimeter lets you illustrate what 1500 km looks like relative to Alberta?
wahming, Look in the bottom right corner
TheZoltan, I don't want to be that guy (immediately is that guy) but they are provinces not states. I'm hoping making this point will speed up my citizenship application lol
idunnololz, (edited ) Didn’t use “eh”, make reference to beavers, Canadian geese, timmies, maple syrup, hockey or igloos for two whole sentences. I’m sorry but I’m going to have to deduct aboot 100 points.
FlyingSquid, Didn’t do it in English and French either.
schmidtster, Found the Quebecan.
FlyingSquid, Nah, I just like the scene with Dan Aykroyd in Canadian Bacon.
mondoman712, Alberta is only 661,848 km², there’s farms in Alberta bigger than that.
FlyingSquid, The Earth is only 510.1 million km². There’s farms in Alberta bigger than that.
seSvxR3ull7LHaEZFIjM, The observable universe is only 3.57×10⁷¹ km³. There’s farms in Alberta bigger than that.
Uli, And God said, “Let there be Alberta.” And there was Alberta.
Cryophilia, "I am the Alpha and the Omega—the beginning and the end,” says the Lord God. “I am the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come—the Almighty One.”
And lo, the Albertan farmer said, “we have farms in Alberta bigger than that.”
Ophioparma, … and the name of the biggest farm? Alberta Einstein
notatoad, In Alberta, numbers are really more about how they feel than the actual value
bromine, Is that why sometimes it’s 15oo and sometimes 1500?
affiliate, sometimes it feels like 15∞ and sometimes it feels like 1500
WoahWoah, That’s because it was typed by a cow. Dead giveaway.
Epicurus0319, (edited ) Smartest and most grass-touching climate change denier.
How often can you go outside if you’re over 60 and spend most of your waking life on facebook and twitter bitching about plastic dolls, pride month, black mermaids and “evil transgenders!!!”?
