From the city of LA, the Statue of Liberty, and the only triply-landlocked state, here are ten things that you probably didn't know about the US.

Of course New Jersey owns the gift shop at the Statue of Liberty. That's the most New Jersey thing that I've ever heard.

"Its not about who owns the monument, it's about who owns the gift shop to the monument." - CGP Grey

Similar to Minnesota, there's a small town in Washington called Point Roberts that's detached and only shares a border with Canada

[wertbe]

The LA county population being so big is actually astonishing

[kevintarrant]

The state of California has a population larger than Australia .

[Katertismenae]

“If you drive directly south”…proceeds to drive south-southeast. 💀

[Greenchantment]

Fun Fact; Minnesotas Northwest angle was made a part of MN because of a mapping error by the French in the late 1700s

[wizengy]

Alaska has the Northern most, Western most and Eastern most points in the -United- States. Hawai'i has the Southern most point. That makes the rest of the states the 'Middle 48'.
edit. now only states

There's no straight lines - Terrence Howard

[reelstellar]

I’ve lived my whole life in SLC and that fact about being as north as New York actually blew my mind

[jdotoz]

The Hawaiian archipelago is so remote that even its EEZ boundary has no straight lines.

[Gee-Oh]

Tampa, Florida stands at exactly the same latitude as the peak of Mt. Everest.

Point Roberts in Washington state is also only accessible by going through Canada, or by boat.

[jack-qyb]

That salt lake city fact was actually worth it. Thank you.

[chloeeig]

"hey bro where's the gift shop at"
"oh it's in new jersey"

[daviddery]

Thank you for the information I didn't know most of this 👍

LA County also has a larger surface area than the two smallest states, Rhode Island and Delaware.

I remember during covid and the border shut down, it caused many many issues for Americans who went to northern Minnesota but relied on the close grocery and shopping stores for their own cabins/homes. They were essentially locked out and made things quite difficult. I'm from Winnipeg, Canada and we'd hear about this a lot as we're only about 2 hours from the area.

New jersey: "Sup new york, you can take the statue, I'll keep the gift shop"
New york: "Aight"

[Letermen]

Today everyone learned that ‘Journey’ was referring to ‘Windsor, Ontario’ when growing up in ‘South Detroit…’
