What kind of land do 100 largest landowning families have that it’s not covered under other categories? (Other than timberland in the top left?)
Private mansions, estates, forests I would imagine
Underwater land
I can’t wait for lab grown meat.
I’m excited for the possibility of being an ethical cannibal. Imagine being able to take a tissue sample and then grow a steak that’s made of you.
Belle Delphine was a pioneer with her bath water. Can she do it again?
“Hey guys, you all say that you eat ass and here’s your chance to prove it!”
no
Finally we can join Grace in enjoying a MeBurger
Rocky gang rise up
Gives new meaning to the word mastication
You can stop eating meat at any point. No need to wait for lab grown.
False assumption. He said he wants lab meat. Hard stop. It is implied by the hard stop that he’s ok with current things OR doesn’t eat much/any current meat, but after that unknown, looks forward to lab meat.
That’s like saying “you can just not go to war”
Yea great you solved war forever.
People aren’t going to stop eating meat, it’s not a reasonable solution. Lab grown meat is a potential solution
Social conditioning is a hell of a drug. I eat a fraction of the meat I used to but it’s still hard to completely stop.
Imo we don’t need a lot of people to become full vegetarians, we need everybody to eat less meat.
no way urban is that big compared to rural
does urban here include suburbia??
Where else would suburbia belong? The images I’ve seen from the US looks very much like urban environment
Yes it does frequently include the suburbs. Also there are LOTS of small cities that are urban - its not just NYC and Los Angelos. Its… Irvine, CA. Its… Portland, Oregon.
I’m shocked at how small desert is
Maybe because half of Arizona got turned into fucking cow “pastures” and alfalfa farms for some stupid reason.
For foreign governments to buy. That way they don’t have to use their own water to grow it. Not even joking give it a Google.
Nothing wrong with that
Except for the part we’re Arizona is running out of water for their residents so these farm owners can make a profit by effectively selling the water to another country in the form of food for cattle.
Ah capitalism.
Poor people of Cleveland. The ground being covered in maple syrup sure is a sticky situation.

Cool graphic! Data sources?
No section for parking lots? That would probably take up about 25% of the map
Most likely part of ‘urban commercial’ and the housing sections
Fuck it, united single-use zones of America
daily reminder that most of the land that is used to grow livestock feed is land that is not fertile enough to grow things like wheat but can still grow things like grass
Yes, you are right, for pastures. The category Lifestock feed is soybean, corn, wheat, barley and triticale, all that goes into the stomachs of monogastric animals (pigs, poultry, … humans).
Except its use as pasture has wrecked the ecosystem that would be there otherwise. From forcing certain plant life to driving out predators, “would still be grass” isn’t really saying much when the damage is severe nonetheless.

Vermont as urban? Vermont? The state with the least amount of people in it?
The locations are arbitrary, it’s just visualizing total land usage. In reality everything would be intermixed
Nope, it’s official, we’re all moving to Vermont now. Your current home will be demolished in 72 hours or less.
Please. My shithole house was built more than 100 years ago and despite all the repairs and improvements, its original design was likely its best and easiest to maintain. Also the rural location is bad. It was a great town 100+ years ago.
OP do you know where this is from its cool?
I think you’ll find that Wyoming is the state with the fewest people.
You’re right on your main point, though, it’s not exactly Manhattan 😄
What is this supposed to be?
It’s a map of what percent of us land each thing takes up
I assume this is overall percentage across the US, and it’s not implying that certain regions are mapped to certain industries.
Yeah
A more square America.
We don’t do angles here
the blue part at the top should actually read “federal, national, and state parks made up of stolen tribal lands”.
I think that’s true of the entire country, except maybe the desert between Phoenix and Vegas.
Should’ve defended it better😎
Mining in the US is too tiny to note?
I guess it mostly uses land vertically not horizontally
Rip South Carolina and their Rhode Island sized golf course.
