Brazilian's impression on the united states(i have never been there and this is based on nothing)
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/22508834
I'm a .world user, so i have to say the obvious thing that this is just a joke, and should not be taken seriously
I like that military bases has almost no military installations of any kind in it
Don't worry about that, once the US department of defense sees this map, they will realize the military potential of the place they have no bases at has for having military bases
Also perfectly excludes JBLM near Tacoma, WA
And Everett, Bremerton, and Whidbey (I used to work for the Navy Exchange)
Annexed Canadians is pretty good tho.
Lost Scandanavians would be more accurate but.
please report to your american embassy to claim your honorary citizenship
Pretty accurate. Most of California has pretty mild weather though.
And Louisiana instead of Florida as worst state? Those are fighting words.
Mississippi and Alabama would fight you if they knew how to read.
The only seasons in California are sun and fire.
Yes, but it doesn't have Florida man. Although I'd suspect Mississippi has higher chance than California.
Mississippi is the worst. No contest. Name one good thing in Mississippi.
It was fun to spell aloud when I was 7.
The women are the finest I've ever met. Feminine as you please, can strap on a pistol or shot gun with ease. Never dated a dumb MS woman.
CAVEAT: All my experience is with women who left MS. May not be applicable in state.
California is everything. No joke. It was over 110+ this summer but a drive gives you snow. Crazy.
Water boils at 100 degrees, so very hot indeed.
Lol this is great and frankly hard to argue with. I was inspired to do my own impression of Brazil as an American who's never been to Brazil.
As a brazilian who doesnt live in "all my brazilian friends live here" i have to say i am profoundly affended.
Good job :)
You understand you just insulted my entire race of people?
But yes.
There’s also this other city without beach where people are from otherwise this is imo 1000% accurate as a European who hasn’t been to South America let alone Brazil
Here's my impression of Brazil as an American (I think it's a country?)
Why colonize Florida for the Brazilians? Brazil doesn't deserve such horrendous fate.
It's not so bad if you get rid of the Floridians
It’s halfway there.
As a Brazilian, I agree, but allow me to make a slight addition:
Edit: I should have circled near Arizona, I guessed Las Vegas as being up north and I guessed wrong.
Eh you got close to Reno, close enough.
Known for its motto, "The Biggest Little City in the World. Please don't just stop for gas on your way to/from Vegas."
Please keep the South Carolinians in their enclosure
The cities along California's coast aren't barely habitable because of the heat; they're barely habitable because of pollution.
Signed, A Californian.
And the lack of water.
As a Brazilian, I didn't even know USA was more than Florida (where shitty brazilians tend to migrate to), New York (what paulistas wish they were) and Texas (bang bang)
You haven't heard of LA? That surprises me.
As a former L.A. resident- the people who live there think it's a separate country too.
There's a massive Brazilian community here in Massachusetts, and with how people drive like the road laws don't apply you'd feel right at home.
When I was in Paraíba around JP a few months ago it wasn't much different than Boston, just more hatchbacks and motorcycles and less SUVs
Louisiana is definitely low on the list, but Mississippi and Alabama are 1000% worse. It seems like those two constantly fight to be in last place
Spoken as someone who doesn't travel those 3 states. Alabama is head and shoulders above the other 2.
Oh, I do travel through there. I hate it for many, many reasons
I don't think anyone has ever been so kind to Mississippi.
MUST BE UNIFIED
You have to admit that this map is not actually wrong.
Mississippi is the crappiest state, this is just statistical fact.
I would adjust some lines, but the broad strokes are there,
Louisiana is far too rich in culture to be considered our crappiest state.
As someone who lives in Indiana, I can tell you that we have a lot of hat, very little cowboy.
Fuck I hate Indiana. I was an over the road trucker, and got to know all the states a bit. Indiana was consistently the worst.
Indiana's main advantage is it's quick to drive through. It doesn't take long to get from Illinois to Ohio.
Though I can't see a reason to drive through Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, or anywhere on the east coast as a trucker actually.
Good climate
Lol
Very hot cities. Isn't San Diego supposed to be one of the best ranked in weather in the world? It's like less hot Orlando
San Diego is probably the best good sized city in California, with pretty much perfect weather year round. It only rains a total of about 3 weeks. Unless you are really far inland and then it gets super hot.
The rest of the cities in California can definitely get hot (and San Diego can, too) but usually in the summer and not usually for very long.
I've never seen such a great description of West Virginia.
Maps like this remind me that I suck at geography. Whoever annotated those things knows considerably more about USA than I do.
You are missing an interesting demographic. Hill people. They live in west virginia, southern Ohio, eastern Kentucky and Eastern Tennessee.
there's a few of us out west I guess. alls I know is I descend from hillfolk on three sides, I'm not sure what that makes me
Hillfo
Crappiest state is either Mississippi or Alabama. Louisiana at least has New Orleans. Otherwise, not bad.
Wait, New Orleans is what you referred to as the bad part of Louisiana? Never been but that's the only part of Louisiana I've ever thought of going to
No, I'm saying that the map labels Louisiana the crappiest state, but it isn't because it has New Orleans. Otherwise, the OP's map isn't bad.
That "people live here?" section contains Pittsburgh, Buffalo... also, more importantly, Scranton. And Old Forge, the hilariously self described pizza capital of the world.
Plus the “lake lovers” should probably be extended over to at least include the city that shares a name with one of those lakes. (Erie, PA)
Those lakes do really have a lot to love
I agree they need new borders. Way too damn square.
Mato Grosso and the Federal District are both squarey, too (especially the Federal District).
I'll have you know I've never had nonconsensual love with a lake. They've always asked for it first.
Giving Appalachia question marks from North to South is a good move. America has been giving it question marks since the founding.
Montana? Montana's just, like, Montana, man.
Hand over Hannah, Montana!
More accurate than the average american.
I personally enjoy watching the tourists freeze in t-shirts and shorts in SF in the summer. Granted inland Northern California is way too hot.
Pretty much accurate except that there are no cowboys east of the Mississippi River; that's just regular farmland.
Damned close! Cut off the Florida panhandle and include it with AL and GA and you're golden down South!
Tarheel here...nuh uh!
Also a lot of our biggest military bases are in North Carolina. There's Camp Lejeune, our largest marine base, and to give it it's full legal name, Fort Bragg I Mean Fort Liberty, a very large army base. Also in the state you'll find Seymour Johnson AFB.
Lol fantastic, i love it
Accurate
