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
An ex from the Midwest said we have tiny deer and bears and giant bugs.

Oh, don’t insult Florida, I’m an Aussie and I fell in love with Crystal River.
If you don't like the weather in Florida, just wait 5 minutes.

It's all old people during the day, but when the sun sets, s**t gets real.
No mention of Florida Man! Whew, we dodged a bullet we accidentally shot at ourselves in Wal-Mart.
I know Cali has one too but when my mom lived in FL that's all anyone would say to me

Had a better tan when I lived in North Dakota! Here it's always too hot! Forget wearing long hair down. And makeup melts off your face in about 2.3 seconds. Did I mention how impossible it is to get into the right dr. I have seizures and still haven't gotten into a neurologist after 3 yrs. office claims on a waiting list call back a month later claim they never heard of me!!! I could go on... I really don't like it here
You know why the doctor's wait list is so long? Because this state is full of people like you who came to the here but only have complaints about it. I'm sure there are neurologists in other states that are accepting new patients right now... Most Floridians don't like transplants either, so we're even on that front.

Don't forget tons of lizards and the prices are way too high on everything
They forgot the gators. Personally, I like "Florida is the Australia of the US."
Where wealthy retirees come and complain about how it was better back home. Go. Home.
Florida, America's version of Australia. Everything here wants to eat or kill you and your pets.
You thing us people in Georgia have accents? Go to Florida and listen to everyone down there!
I live in florida.this is accurate. Not to ne rude, but rednecks really p**s me off...
FLORIDA: SWAMPS, WET AIR, ONE SUPER CRAZY MAN AND ALL THE OLD PEOPLE
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.
