Americans Share Brutally Honest Descriptions Of The States They Live In, And The Result Is Hilarious
The 50 states of the U.S.A can often get Europeans confused. Is there really that much difference between Mississippi and Alabama? Washington and Oregon? To outsiders not so much, but of course locals will definitely let you know! To get more clarification on how to distinguish between them, one Redditor asked Americans what are the things everyone should know about each state. It's hard to say if this person got what they were asking for, but the result is definitely amusing.
While some users offered tactful descriptions about unique nature of their states and shared important historical facts, others were a lot more candid. Americans dispelled absurd myths, showed what makes them proud and didn't hesitate to point fingers at their own flaws with hilarious examples. Proving once again that they know how to laugh at themselves. Scroll down to see for yourself!

I was really hoping for something much better for my home state. They could have went all out lol
The real description: Philadelphia on the east, Pittsburgh on the wet, Alabama in the middle.
I thought everyone over the age of 10 knew that??

Chicago and Illinois are two different places. Just ask anyone who is from Illinois but not Chicago.
State motto should be: we have other cities besides Chicago.
Load More Replies... As someone who currently lives in a Chicago suburb I can 100% confirm this.
Sorry, I live in Illinois and it should be "Where our ex-Governors make our license plates" Blago is still trying to get out of jail.
Anyone south of I80 would much rather split the state in half and leave Chicago land.
I figured there must be more to Illinois than just Chicago. It is a fairly large state but who knows? Maybe there was only Chicago. Big smiles. I'm sure it is wonderful. I'd love to visit someday. :)
Here, Chicagoans, let me make you feel at home: ratatatatatatatatatatat !
Everyone who is from Chicago thinks it's the only city in the state. Everyone who isn't from Chicago hates Chicago with a passion, for precisely this reason.
They can make fun of white people in these....lets make fun of the criminal blacks who run Chicago lol
I used to live in Nebraska, and I loved it! Down to earth, kind people.
'We have waffle house' does not accurately describe the waffle house situation down there.
I'm only an a*****e when it's warranted. Like when tourists visit and ask where top go to look at leaves. Right out your hotel window Sharon
Yellowstone super-volcano should worry more than just people in Wyoming - If it ever does erupt.
I think you need to have lived in the states. Makes no sense to me - at aaaaalllll. Me - European
Yea, if you've never visited the state it's not all that funny... Also some of them made not sense to me and I've lived in that state.

This was a great idea and I am so glad you posted it. What a hoot to listen to what people had to say about their "homeland." I loved it. Thanks :) :)
Having lived or vacationed in 27 of the states, this seems pretty accurate. :) This amazing country has so much diversity, I don't understand why more Americans don't visit more of their own country.
That’s because the US is too damn big and we don’t have enough vacation time to visit many places. Most people that travel the states are older retired folks.

I wonder if we could describe English counties that way - Am Cumbrian and Cumbria didnt even exist til 1974 - actually iI'm a Lancastrian
for some reason they combined 3 historic counties - Cumberland, Westmoreland and Northumberland - stole a bit of Lancashire and renamed us Cumbria

People in Hawaii would be eating Spam like their cousins if it weren't for the haoles making you a place in our wonderful country.
I've not been to most of the states, so I can't say much for them, but WOW, the U.S. has tacky f*****g flags.
