The 41 Contiguous US States

map of the lower United States with 7 states missing

This map of the lower 48 US states hand-drawn by XKCD's Randall Munroe is super clever: 7 of the states are actually missing. Maybe the pandemic is starting continuing to rot my brain, but I stared at this for an embarrassingly long time before finding any of the absent states. Even now that I know which ones are gone, the map doesn't look out of place at all. *claps*
