Texas is a southern wannabee

See also: Florida.

Florida is so redneck that they crossed a threshold into its own category. Florida Man.

too weird to live… too rare to die…

Seriously, I can't believe people try to say its not really the south. Like its literally the furthest south you can go in the US.

It's like Austria. Sure, technically they're German, but they're their own thing

"Austria is German(y)" was pushed by a very specific group for a very specific purpose.

The word you want is Germanic. There is a very important distinction between the national and ethnic or cultural terms here.

Thank you, seriously wasn't trying to make fascist arguments, I promise. Just trying to make a comparison and why certain things can't always be grouped together

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
