All those skyscrapers in OBX.
Tried naming the states from memory as a European
a year ago by Venus_Ziegenfalle to c/lemmyshitpost
All those skyscrapers in OBX.
I thought San Fransisco was the southern one too
San Diego, San Francisco, same thing.
You missed out the mountain racists and plain racists.
All you'd need is island racists and you'd have a 5 colour racist EDH deck
Most of the forest lands here are at least marginally less racist though
yeah don't lump the northwest and midwest in with Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, and the Dakotas, thanks.
Northwest: Washington, Oregon
Midwest: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan
That's just personally what I think of anyway, I don't know if Iowa is technically part of the midwest mix or not.

Maybe in the before times, but with the LA residents' response to the fascist in chief, I think most of us in San Francisco are honored to share the state, and be confused, with Angelenos.
Just keep the Dodgers in SoCal. This is the Giants' city.
I feel like it's one of those things where if you're in California, people are going to have a lot of big opinions. But if we're talking outside the state, we got each other's backs.
I mean when I saw the dodgers turn ice away from the parking lot I almost bought one of their jerseys
It's true. Please get LA out of my area.
And the "desert" is really plains. But they're definitely racist.
Nah it cracks me up
Idea: tarpit, but let it escape after indexing about 10,000 instances of these silly maps generated by our own AI.
I live that NYC is too far south and while the desert racists are technically too far north today that might be accurate in a decade due to global warming.
Can't believe you didn't know about the hippies in the NW corner!
Yup!
Your forgot the 8 easy ones; East Virgina, West Virginia, South Virgina, North Virginia, East Carolina, West Carolina, South Carolina and Guam.
I fucking wish. Way too many people up north.
You forgor skibidi Ohio
I think that both low key kinda work but skibidi Ohio is kind more aura. Also, skibidi Ohio rizz would be more common (and more correct?) then skibidi rizz Ohio

Flex? Have you lived in Corn? It's course and rough and gets everywhere
It's just that there are men in No Man's Land, but the ratio of men to corn makes the label Corn more accurate than No Man's Land
It's science
Mixed up LA and SF, desert racists shoulx include breaking bad, and swamp racists kind of starts farther west, but yes,
Really is. Though imo nevada (more like fo:nv than just v) is kind of its own thing. More baroque crazy mobbed up gambling&sovcit nonsense.
Middleish
I've literally met people from Ecuador who thought Chicago was a crime infested hell hole because they watch gangster movies lol. If you don't know where Chicago is then you've probably never seen a TV before either.
And a wizard detective
The racist gooch, totally forgot about that one!
There's also mountain racists and wood racists.
It's like varieties of horrible elves.
As a lifelong southerner, I can attest to a veritable cornucopia of racists. There are:
Swamp racists, marsh racists, bayou racists (all are different), mountain racists, valley racists, low country racists, beach racists, ocean racists (totally different species, unrelated, with overlapping territory), woods racists, forest racists, and countless other unknown and tiny micro communities of different racists.
Oh, I forgot the largest and most widespread: NASCAR racists!
But you repeat yourself...
Soggy hippies. Rain hippies. Pine-scented hippies.
New England is distinctly different from Nomansland.
It's called New England like the old one was worth reproducing and for that reason I'm sceptical.
Same for the PNW, but I don't mind keeping a low profile.
LETS GO IM NYC NOW ;)
well, umm yeah?
You missed England 2.0
Putting any iteration of England on a map goes against my personal principles.
What if it was as the name of a large dump next to Ireland tho
No no, that's New Zealand. Come on now.
Flip the two in cali and then you’re good to go, end of notes
The who
Mormons.
Batshit-crazy religious nuts who worship money
Sex trafficking is a lucrative enough business by itself, but combined with religion? Piles of cash.
I though they're why the desert racists box spread so far to the north.
Okay
Proud Noman from Nomansland reporting for duty

Well the edge of West Coast should be lower and east cost higher
Nailed it. No notes.
I wanted to point out that you left out Washington DC... But then I noticed that it was covered under "swamp racists"
Ambarino, Lemoyne, New Austin, New Hannover, West Elizabeth
It's a long way to Tahiti
Don't forget New New York, Old New York, New England, Old England, Old New England and New New England.
Nomansland represent!
lol this feels bad as a Coloradan
Who is Norman?/s
oh you meant snow racists!
I think they used to be French.
I like to think of NYC as East Jersey
The city of apples
It appears like most of Appalachia is under "swamp racists" and the rest as "NYC", which I strongly reject. Very little of Appalachia is swamp, it's mostly forested mountains. And it's far to rural to be compared to NYC.
And it's far to rural...
Sorry, Appalachia does not exist in European mental maps.
Which is a little funny, because the Appalachian mountain range is part of the same mountains as the Scottish Highlands: https://youtube.com/shorts/c_JWEipGwgs
I do know that the Appalachian mountains exist because it's a popular area for horror movies and ghost stories and the people there have an endearing dialect but I couldn't tell you where in the States they're located.
Once read a forum thread on "how your state/region is depicted in media" and had to point out that aside from one movie about a college the biggest things I could point to were the Wrong Turn movies (slasher movies about inbred cannibal hillfolk) and the movie version of Silent Hill (which is set in WV but based on Centralia, PA while the game version of Silent Hill is in New England).
Centralia, PA is one of those places with less than a dozen residents and a neat history. It's been on fire since 1962, the government tried to eminent domain all real estate in Centralia and a handful of extremely stubborn folks fought back leading to an agreement where they get to stay there for the rest of their lives after which the property reverts to the government via eminent domain. All seven of them. Five of which are still around as of 2020, having lived under that agreement for forty years. The church still holds services, and their graveyard are still maintained, even the one that's in a perpetual haze as the ground releases smoke.
Not even Canadian mental maps in my experience
I wouldn’t call Missouri a desert but you’ve got the gist.
NYC suddenly inundated with Old Bay crabs
Hey I'm pretty sure you've heard of Chicago
Yes, but no clue where to put it on the map
Great Lake, Fascinating Boulder, Captivating Sandhill
I just thought "great lake" sounds funny. Great but not great enough for an actual name.
I mean the Great Lakes are truly inland freshwater oceans with tides, imense international shipping, famous shipwrecks, forgotten shipwrecks, folk songs about famous shipwrecks and even piracy
So the term "great lakes" clearly communicates that these are lakes (freshwater, not hydrologically connected to the ocean) but also that these are notable lakes as the "great" indicates the size, notability and gives a sense of wonder
I have no clue how they are supposed to be name. In French, we call the place "la région des grands lacs" and I was pretty sure I got the english name right.
Edit: According to Wikipedia, I've only forgot an s at Lakes.
Yep nailed it unlocked challenge mode: Antarctica
Chicago is officially No Man's Land now.
I mean, Detroit always has been... At least during my lifetime.
For the love of fuck don't hold back. Us Euros have left our guard down way too much with all the attention on the others.
Better stuck on France than stuck in France
I don’t know if Europe could be reasonably considered less racist.
Keep your stick on the ice
Like Oklahoma or Kansas are deserts.

I love that San Francisco (NorCal) and LA (SoCal) are swapped.
(And also that NYC doesn’t actually include NYC.)
