Ohio is basically Florida without beaches or Disneyworld.

[–] edgemaster72 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

When the rivers catch fire do you really want a beach?

[–] SpaceNoodle 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Technically there are beaches on the Lake Erie shore. Last time I checked, they were not on fire, but probably would have been improved by fire.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Not technically. There are some very nice beaches on the lake. And while they're not currently burning... they probably SHOULD be on fire because they're some of the most absurdly expensive properties in NE Ohio. Just Google images of Bay Village.

Laughs in Seattleite

mountains and corn.

Lots of corn.

loooooooooooots of corn......

[–] SpaceNoodle 4 points 11 months ago

And soybeans. But no mountains.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Fuck Disney. We got Cedar Point... America's Roller Coast!

After living in both ohio > Florida (except the winter, snow sucks)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Yes, but we like to build little make-pretend NYCs and there aren't nearly as many gators

[–] SpaceNoodle 11 points 11 months ago (4 children)

For starters: Air Force Museum, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, several professional sports teams, gorgeous parks, the best amusement park in the US, and nearly 12 million people.

[–] not_that_guy05 10 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland browns, are we really calling them professionals?

The Reds and Cavs are breathing a sigh of relief that you forgot about them

[–] SpaceNoodle 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

TIL football is the only sport

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Oh, the Reds and the Cavs are any better?

[–] SpaceNoodle -2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

What about the team formerly known as the Indians?

Edit: well fuck me for asking, I guess

[–] FuglyDuck 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

and nearly 12 million people.

who wish they were somewhere else.

[–] SpaceNoodle 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You know how many astronauts are from Ohio? There's such a drive to escape that state that some people feel they need to leave the planet entirely.

In all seriousness, I think that it's a great state to be from.

[–] FuglyDuck 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I imagine Ohio isn't really that bad. Mostly because I've never been there.

[–] SpaceNoodle 4 points 11 months ago

Completely by chance, I've lived half my life in various parts of Ohio.

It's not hell, but I like other places better overall. There are specific things and people that I miss, but most of those people also left.

It's the Midwest. It's where Americans are bred before they move to the West Coast.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ohio is really just like any other Midwest state. The urban areas are on the small but charming, with a surprising amount of stuff to do, but lacking the infrastructure and conveniences of larger metros. The rural areas range from cute little farming communities where everyone is your neighbor, to opiod-ridden backwaters where people struggle to get by.

I honestly don't know why it's such a meme to shit on Ohio when states like West Virginia and Indiana exist.

[–] FuglyDuck 3 points 11 months ago

We can add Florida and Texas to that list. The reason is, though, probably because Ohio doesn’t really particularly deserve it like those other states.

Ones a joke, the other is… reality.

[–] Telodzrum 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

the best amusement park in the US

Fuck yes. America's Roller Coast may be the best manmade thing in the country.

[–] SpaceNoodle 0 points 11 months ago

It was also voted the best amusement park in the world for quite a while.

[–] doingless 9 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Columbus, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Toledo, Dayton, Youngstown, Lima, Hocking Hills, the edge of Appalachia and lots of corn.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

There's also some Amish folk, Swensons, Melt and the, home of Devo, Halle Berry and Dr. Beverly Crusher.

[–] SpaceNoodle 0 points 11 months ago

I think it's more soybeans now

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

Corn and hicks

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Something driving people to strive to leave the planet entirely. Based on NASA astronaut states of origin.

[–] PRUSSIA_x86 4 points 11 months ago

Lots of chill people, a few assholes, decent weather, and the Big Basket.
