Why oh why did they get Arkansas right??

[–] UhBell@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Because we're like the 2nd worst state in the country so it sticks out. Whenever I get depressed about being stuck in Arkansas, I tell myself "at least I don't live in Florida"

Every state looks the exact same

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The only memorable ones are California, nevada, washington, texas, florida, and maine.

Washington and Maine are only memorable because of very easy locations, being in the top corners of the country.

I'm just wondering how you mislocate "Virgin," yet somehow get West Virginia right.

As a resident of Oreo, I can confirm that my state is tasty as fuck.

I imagine Minnesotans would take offense to being called “Texas 2”. In both climate and politics, it's the opposite of Texas.

“Uh” and “Minne-sota” are the same state: Michigan. It's the only state whose land is divided by a huge lake spanning the entire state.

Americans are very sensitive about you knowing which state they're from

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 years ago

It used to be that Prussians, Germans and Austrians would cut you for confusing them for one of the others.

Fucked up that I still don't know where Ohio is

[–] FumpyAer@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Those three from left to right are Illinois, Indiana, Ohio. I crave cereal is pennsylvania

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Are you sure you want to know? Knowledge of Ohio can never be unlearned

~~You are correct~~

[–] aluminiumsandworm@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

I was pretty good at maps in highschool but I forgot a lot of it and never got good at Africa. I have no trouble with the 50 states but I'm american so that tracks. I'm also decent at South America (central america is beyond me though), most of Europe, and Asia.
