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!

This is especially true in central Arizona (Phoenix area). Somebody must have made a decision to make everything beige, but why? The desert itself is much less bland than the city.
Tucson is much more colorful- in multiple ways

This is accurate but if it's any other color it'll just get sun bleached to beige in no time at all.
Born and Raised... I don't get this? It should read, "Get OFF my Gravel!"
Arizona dweller for 3+ years. This is true. Even more so since they painted our office.... beige.
But when California falls into the ocean won't Arizona be a beach side state?
ARIZONA: BURNING IN THE DAY, FREEZING IN THE NIGHT, DESERT ONLY, LAVA FILLS YOUR LUNGS WHEN YOU BREATH
forgot to add, lava.....lava everywhere, in the air, the water the sky, the ground, in our BLOOD!
I love living in Phoenix. The desert is beautiful, and the beige is a shock, but once it wears off, you see the other colors underneath it.
i ve lived here for 15 years so far and this is really accurate xDD tbh I hate beige but i think its actually a rule for houses to be beige in some areas
Arizona is just wildfire smoke mixed with weed smoke mixed with cigarette smoke.
Visiting my Mom in Sun City was a nightmare. EVERYTHING was beige, the houses, the walls, the landscape - I kept getting lost coming home from the grocery store because everything looked the same.
AZ full of pricks....Arizona, don't hug our funny looking trees...Arizona, a dry heat, like a kiln...Arizona, gosh it's hot.... (yeah i live in AZ)
Phoenix* Pretty much everywhere else but dusty valley is green, orange and blue. White mountains, northern AZ, Saguaro national parks, Western AZ etc.
actually it fits with the state pretty well! it symbolizes our sunsets copper and the 13 original states xP

I guess this is why so many retired white people from Canada vacation there...
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 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.
