Little known fact(oid).
Ohio's original state motto was "75% of our name is vowels"
Iowa's State motto was "…God dammit Ohio!"
These are the most interesting things about both states. I should know, I'm from Ohio.
And if you want to experience the United States Midwest in song form, look up Bird Bird Bird by Lou and Peter Berryman
In case anyone is curious, as far as I can tell neither of these mottos are real
factoid (2) - an assumption or speculation that is reported and repeated so often that it becomes accepted as fact.
Absolutely 100% made up. So, if that's the most interesting thing about each state, and it's fictional, imagine how mind numbingly boring the corn states must be
(I'm joking ofc, Ohio has a few redeeming qualities. The southeastern portion is particularly beautiful, Idaho has some staggering vistas, and Iowa… I mean, 75% of their name is vowels I guess)
I thought that the most interesting fact about Ohio is that the name looks like a tractor.
The driving in the hills of southern Ohio can be pretty nice. I used to spend a lot of time in the Dover area. Michigan and Ohio were my sales territory for a few years
I dunno, Jungle jims is kinda neat. And a few scattered museums across the state. But otherwise yeah.
Don't forget the Hocking Hills too.
I just went to Jungle Jim's for the first time this weekend actually. What an amazing place. For those that don't know, it's basically an IKEA sized grocery store. Over 6 acres (24000 m^2 )

as someome who knows neither the us states nor australian areas well, i dont het any of this :33
As someone who lives in Auscalifornia, it is kind of uncannily accurate.
My dumbass who just woke up is like "How do you pronounce Qld?"
Queensland. It's Queensland.
I just assumed that qld was some archaicism that just kinda still existed.
I work on a remote team with three Australians who live in three different states. I'm sure they'll appreciate this! Especially the Ausalabaman guy!
I sometimes also call Australia as a whole the Texas of the Commonwealth nations. We're big, we have snakes and desert, we love big things, we're ornery and we've flirted with secession more than once.
In Australia we believe in equality, so I'll piss off all the states.
Victoria : "afDanistan", wokeville. Small latte drinkers who don't have a driver's licence. Labourers and Stop/Go people on $200,000.
New South Wales: dumb boomers on $3m property. Driving at 80kmh on their Learner drivers plates. Shit at rugby. Sydney nightlife ends at 9pm.
South Australia: "oh yeah I have an auntie there I think." Nothing to do. Their water tastes funny. Churches everywhere. Weird 1.5hr timezone.
Western Australia: If you want to know why there's a wait time for Toyota's, it's bloody WA buying them all. Full of cashed up bogans in lifted land cruisers. Have to watch footy at lunch time because they are 3 timezones away. If you are anti social and don't mind a 6hr drive to anywhere live there.
Tasmania: 10 people live there with a mild sense of imbreeding. Looks kinda nice, but why would you go to Tassy if you can go to New Zealand for the same price.
Northern Territory: biggest employers, the mines and Pine Gap (the CIA base). Otherwise it's Australia's poverty lane.
Australian Capital Territory: Australia's Uni campus. A concrete jungle, a tiny town where we keep the big wigs who are driven everywhere in black BMWs or Camry's.
If you are anti social and don’t mind a 6hr drive to anywhere live there.
Looks like I'm bound for West Australia, boys
A concrete jungle
The bush capital being referred to as a concrete jungle is so out of touch it’s almost poetic.
I don't think this person knows much about either country beyond stereotypes
Queensland
batsh*it crazy but fancy
I'm in this picture and I don't like it.
I don't like it
No I don't, never did
I don't like it
Yep, sounds Queenslander-y
The Margot Robbie account is here now? No wonder this place feels different. It isn't the gay lil leftist meme page it was a few months ago.
It's nice that it's bigger, but there are more right wing trolls targeting this instance than there used to be as a result.
Esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie shows up wherever she please!
Also, randomly showing up in places is like, one of my thing here.
As a US southerner I think you want to make Queensland a combo of Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia With SE Qld as Atlanta. Only thing fancy about Louisiana is the food
So which region does Bluey take place in?
Bluey is based in Queensland, top right.
Thanks!!
Brisbane, capital of QLD

New Jersey right in the middle of California? Sounds like Bakersfield/Fresno/Modesto.
Now do it for a German.
Bavaria=Texas Swabia=West Virginia Niedersachsen=Ohio West Berlin=New York East Berlin=New Jersey Ruhr=Illinois Bielefeld=doesn't exist
Thanks, some German will inevitably enjoy that!
I like that if you squint really hard, you could almost flip that map upside down and get a reasonable cultural map of the United States.
Why is Tasmania Oregon???
99.9% of the population is in one super liberal hipster city and the rest is racist farmers? 🤷
This is amazingly accurate for Oregon.
It ain’t far off from Washington neither
100%
Fun fact, Oregon was pretty close to being a white-only state. Probably explains why they have a big problem with neonazis nowadays.
With the amount of inbreeding in Tasmania, it's probably more Alabama than Queensland... Which probably should have been marked Florida - if you've ever been to the Gold Coast
Really more of an Alabama with all that incest going on.
A repost of something made by a guy who doesn't see beyond stereotypes, on both fronts
as a Florida man, I understand this.
The Northern Territory contains no alligators, and three "Alligator River"s
