I’m surprised no one has brought it up so far. This is from way back when the US was still expanding east to west. Land Ordinance of 1785

It was literally just a means of dividing up the land to make it easier to manage. This is why much of the plains states follow such rectangular county/state lines between water geography.

Edit: States that had their counties/borders established before this act will have more organic geography following boundaries. Counties/States settled after 1785 will display this grid-like pattern.

I can see my house!

I don’t like it 😢

Thanks for the link! TIL lemmy let’s you edit the post URL!

I miss that sub

I’m so glad my cat isn’t a big snuggler. Blankets and pillows are a no go. Simple proximity is fine.

This is basically 2b2t

Matter bends spacetime. Spacetime tells matter how to move.

Using this logic, you can imagine that above a certain threshold, this can become a feedback loop. These locations are black holes, where enough matter located in a small enough volume of spacetime can create enough distortion to further force more matter into the same volume of spacetime.
