If GPS didn't exist and someone actually wanted to go to Oklahoma.
cmdshift3
That helps you get your bearings so you can get the fuck out of Oklahoma.

Ok
TheShogunOfSarcasm
I can save Oklahoma City a TON of money. Just have all covers say "Nowhere".

Where's Dwight David "The General" Manfredi ?
puppyfart
Why would you ever want to visit Oklahoma
murderdactyl
This is how I get hot by a car standing in the road reading a manhole map
LateNightBunnyParty
WAIT, REALLY??? Fuck, I need to look down while I walk. Where is that? I see the Capitol on the left...I'm gonna stop by over there on my way back home.
Apeofdeath
I'm on top of a manhole
nemocares
While in Rome...
TheShogunOfSarcasm
Soooooo, people are going to be standing in the middle of the street reading manhole covers? I feel like that's a good way to weed out the stupid tourists.
cousteau
Was gonna suggest using actual manhole covers, then realized how quickly they'd get rotated so that they don't point to the right direction.
MagnumRadhard
This is awesome! The location, not so much.
Babomonkey
Seattle has this also
ProfFurryPaws
Here's a better one
xavierjmole
OKC took Seattle’s NBA team; I wonder if they took this idea too!!

what if the manhole cover is the wrong way round?
Antrobus55
Fuck, knowing you're in Oklahoma is depressing enough.
RenaissanceFaireMan
Maybe it shows the nearest exit?
xj4low
I remember when there was no "welcome to Oklahoma" sign when traveling up 35. Just a Ya'll come back" Texas sign. Almost like Oklahoma didn't want you to know you crossed to state line.
FueledBySatan2005
Oklahoma isnt all bad. The flaming lips are proudly from here and the Thunder and my family and all my stuff.
Antrobus55
Yeah, i know a bunch of good people from Oklahoma. But Jesus they allow some real knuckledraggers to run the show. Markwayne makes Ted Cruz look like fucking Gandhi.
FeIineDisrespectFromBehind
So you're supposed to stand in the street?
DenseBot
The hard part is that they're really too heavy to carry around for any distance and don't fold up like other maps
mikeatike
Somebody really strong is going to rearrange them to make peolle get lost.
AVaguelyFamiliarUsername
Yeah.. not with THAT attitude.
staceyjorgenson31415
But they roll real nice 😊

No, don't praise Oklahoma. I've lived there. They deserve nothing.
barfopedia
Something Americans can be proud of for a change.
Cptbluebeard7
Nevermind the fact that many manhole covers I see are in the street, at least in my area, also this is in one city and by far is not common.
MajorasTerribleFate
"Circular sidewalk markers resembling manhole covers", not actual street-located manhole covers
allenvasher3000
Also it's in Oklahoma
quade
Twist them around
Bundalicious
Do not worry, no one person will be visiting US any time soon.

Tulsa's sewer system features black dots where all the black residents used to be, but are lying now in unmarked graves.

Now all they need is a reason for people to visit
rbudrick
And they are all put back varying amounts of degrees from where they should be every time they are opened, I'm betting.
mrsdowneyjr
That doesn't help if you didn't know where you're going on the map

I mean I live here and I know it's true, it's by no means the whole city just the downtown area and what we call "bricktown" but you're right to ask for more than just a random internet stranger's word on it so here's a thing I found.

Just in case you get lost in the 3 blocks that is OKC… how that place got a basketball franchise is beyond me.
101Medic
Salty Seattlite? OKC is a properly large city. I won't defend the state, but acting like OKC is some podunk cow town is hilariously wrong and has been for as long as I can remember.

Stop crab-bucketting and start elevating each other.
420supercoolusername69
They don’t need to be elevated. They need to be educated.
101Medic
We need both, to be fair.
LateNightBunnyParty
Thank you, this.
LateNightBunnyParty
OKC is literally one of the largest cities in the US by land area, but go on...
420supercoolusername69
How much land attends NBA games? 🙄
LateNightBunnyParty
Yeah, if you read the comment I was remarking on, they made reference to the physical size, not the population. OKC, by land area, is the 10th largest city in the US. Population is irrelevant. Roll your eyes elsewhere.
REOJackwagon
Lol, its larger than your town
420supercoolusername69
Lol, no it’s not
REOJackwagon
What state then
420supercoolusername69
I’m in the Portland metro area. Which is roughly twice the population of OKC
REOJackwagon
You said 3 blocks , that's area. Lol Portland is much smaller
REOJackwagon
Also pop is about the same as of 2024 2025
LateNightBunnyParty
Unless you're in one of the 9 above it, yes it is.
420supercoolusername69
Nice try… https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/1p7cydh/oc_us_cities_by_population/#lightbox
LateNightBunnyParty
Yeah, yours is by population. Mine was by land area. You're the one who spoke of OKC having, what was it, three streets? Three blocks? Whatever; we're talking land area here, not population.
