As we in the Midwest prefer to call it, "a normal accent".

[-] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 32 points 20 hours ago

New Englander here.
What in the world is a "New England accent?" Do you mean Boston? New Hampshire? Wood Chuck? Whatever the hell is going on in Maine? (I didn't know anybody lived there to have an accent.)

Maines got several, none of which sound Canadian or like the rest of New England. The two big ones we call County and Downeast.

You don't know any wicked mainahs then. Up north in East millinocket driver mcguyver

[-] Rooskie91@discuss.online 11 points 20 hours ago

Gonna make lots of Philly people angry.

[-] rhombus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago

Gonna make a lot of Mainer’s mad saying we have a Canadian or New England accent. Someone from the county does not sound like a Canadian, and someone from downeast doesn’t sound like someone from Vermont which doesn’t sound like someone from Mass, and so on.

This bit is so good.

[-] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

I’ve got a proper Cascadian accent. It’s lovely, but gets me marked as an outsider when I go elsewhere in the country.

[-] odium@programming.dev 11 points 20 hours ago

Austin doesn't sound valley imo.

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 6 points 20 hours ago

Funnily enough, it shares a lot of dialectic traits with Orlando.

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 5 points 20 hours ago

It does not. It's more of a mix of Midwestern, border mexican, valley, and standard Texan. I loved how many of the Indian tech-workers that moved to Austin in the early 2000s quickly developed a habit of using y'all...and a breakfast taco addiction.

I'm an Indian born in Austin in the early 2000s who uses y'all and is addicted to breakfast tacos ^and elotes^ 💀

Over my dead Appalachian body!

If anyone is wondering, I grew up in Seattle and I've had people who are English second language ask me if I'm British.

I just learned English by watching Frasier.

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 5 points 20 hours ago

I live in Jackson, Wyoming (right on the border with Idaho for 8 months out of the year. I travel most of Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming, and I do not detect a difference in accent between there and most of the Midwest.

[-] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

NJ gets its own on the map, so I'm happy.

Also all tourists can fuck off now, is fall, go home, beaches are closed.

You still have to worry about the leafers.

[-] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

Leaves are all gone! On the ground! I promise, no need to check!!

Well if it makes you happy, to me, youse sound the same, I can make out the southern accent, but the rest just sounds american.

Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don't message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.

Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.

No impersonating mods I can't believe I had to make this rule.

No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.

Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say "take time to grow and come back when you are ready".
