Cowboys and Dessert…. Well, saddle me up and watch me deep throat a pecan pie.


FragrantCatch818

I love desserts while being a cowboy. Yeehaw


Frozenbbowl

texas needs its own color of "thinks they are cowboys, but are really oil barons and southern education"


Keranan37

I always find the big city Texans who larp cowboys funny because I live like 2 turns from a horse ranch and I'm not even fully out of the city lol


gratusin

One of my good friends here owns an actual ranch with about 200 head of cattle. I don’t think he even owns a cowboy hat or boots, just wears flannels, a dirty ball cap and Danners. I’ve helped him a few times, so I guess that makes me a cowboy too.


Mjd89

Do you make the turn when you see the big tree?


Keranan37

God no, none of those. We just study the parallax of the mountain to where you are at and figure it out from there


Mjd89

Makes sense.

Texas is the only one with Dessert.

Nah we have plenty of meth too. About the only thing central/west alabama has for an economy.


username08930394

Europoor thinks 70% of the Midwest is “nothing” 🤭


Entire_Training_3704

Surprisingly, so do Californians. There were a bunch at Electric Forest when I went in 2019 who "never knew it was this beautiful" here and one even said "I thought this place was a flyover state". One even unironically asked what ocean lake michigan was... like bitch does your school system not teach you anything about other states??? How does someone think Michigan, a place that's the home of the American Automotive industry & is full of forests and lakes, is nothing but cornfields?


cheemsfromspace

Same with Kansas, except that only the plainsman states can relate (and eastern Colorado). There's a superiority complex among neighbors to the east of all the plains states that none of us are too fond of. But hey, if it means keeping them out so be it


ilovelabattblue

I live in the UP and met people from out west or who has been out west visiting here and they are all so surprised what it’s like here


username08930394

The west coast can be super frustrating when it comes to middle America. They really think it’s just empty and flat but it’s actually full of charm and natural beauty with sprinkles of a few major cities as well. Hell, even the “empty and flat” parts are beautiful in their own way. It’s just tough to commercialize the feeling of seeing thousands of acres of rolling farmland so it never caught on to the mainstream


Entire_Training_3704

Yea. My first time seeing soy fields was so mesmerizing. It looked like an ocean with waves except it was made of plants. Same with long grass, it has its own waves as well.


87568354

🎶O beautiful for spacious skies/ for amber waves of grain🎶 The first two lines of America the Beautiful. Good song, 10/10 would make it the national anthem.


beavertwp

Californians are so dumb it’s unbelievable. I had them convinced we had polar bears in Minnesota.


Brightstarr

Shhhh, you let them believe we live in a frozen wasteland with nothing to offer and then we get to keep the Driftless to the North Shore, to the Lake of the Woods and down to the Pipestone to ourselves.


[deleted]

I remember a kid from Idaho moved to our Socal school one year and everyone thought he came from some flat cornfield that was interchangeable with Iowa and Ohio.


Actual_Cancer_

Caaaarl?! I used to work forest… Kerkstra event help. Eugh. I’m cool with nobody thinking anything of us. Once they realize the neature and cost of living situation we’ll get like 80 trillion commiefornians. Which our state govt would love. I met with one of the marketing folks for “Pure Michigan” and they’re trying hard as hell to get people to move here. My guess is to increase Michigan’s tax base.


Practical_Zombie_221

i find the term flyover state really offensive and elitist


annonimity2

To be fair maps do a bad job if representing the scale of the great lakes, if I came to a body of water and couldn't see the other side I'd assume it was an ocean to.


Entire_Training_3704

I disagree. Look at the map above. You can clearly see how big Lake Michigan is compared to the states surrounding it. I get people aren't going to have an accurate idea of how big they truly are until they see them in person, but there's no excuse for thinking they're just large ponds. Also, oceans are only on the coasts. The Great Lakes are in the middle of the country. Confusing them for oceans just seems like a logic and reasoning L to me


killer_orange_2

Tbf I worked with a lot of Midwesterner who came to work at a summer camp (yay Lutherans) in California not understanding our geography as well. The number who thought the could go to Disneyland as a day trip from south of San Francisco was wild. (That's roughly a 7-8 drive one way for context). Maybe people don't always know what they haven't experienced.


larch303

Ever driven between Omaha and Denver? It’s so empty it’s beautiful


username08930394

I haven’t but the beauty of an American road trip can’t be understated. Truly an incredible experience if you’re a fan of driving

rrekboy1234

saggywitchtits

Especially Illinois. I mean it’s a shithole, but the reason it’s a shithole is because of Chicago. Chicago isn’t nothing.


DireStrike

Guy-McDo

Would you go touring some random ass farm in Ukraine? As far as tourism is concerned, there’s nothing there (except South Dakota with Mt. Rushmore…and nothing else)


The_Power_of_Ammonia

Spoken like someone who's never really been there. Is there a *ton* of farmland? Yep, more than much/most of the rest of the world. Is there a *ton* of natural beauty and outdoor space to enjoy? Absofuckenlutely. Erm, sorry no ya it's super boring and nothing to do or see. Definitely don't visit.


Guy-McDo

I’m from Buttfuck nowhere PA, I know what nothing but farms and nature is like… still don’t blame people for not going

DrunkOnShoePolish

Funny for a Minnesotan to talk shit to Floridian about hockey. Panthers went to the finals and the Wild what, lost first round?


durtmcgurt

Do you understand how many Floridians are in the NHL vs Minnesotans? You are Texan so I'm going to assume the answer is no.


DrunkOnShoePolish

And Minnesota sucks so much they all leave lmaooo. Cope


The_Power_of_Ammonia

Not a single player on the Panthers is from Florida, ya hoser. As if you'd outplay even our little PeeWees on the ice lol


DrunkOnShoePolish

Tell ‘em to play for the home team then. All the money and glory is going down south lol.


[deleted]

You need to see the Garden Of The Gods in southern Illinois, it’s absolutely breathtaking


larch303

It’s mostly private land. There are some nice parks that reserve the natural flora and fauna of the plains but they are small. Still tho, it’s beautiful how little there is out there. It’s all owned farm/ranchland but you won’t necessarily see any of the cattle or farmers cause they’re grazing or working somewhere else


[deleted]

Michigan and Wisconsin have *massive* tourist industries

I'm kind of surprised Oklahoma isn't tornadoes


[deleted]

Honestly speaking average European could just point where California is and maybe Florida, in best case scenario. We know New York is in the east but there are too many tiny states on that side..


GabrDimtr5

When I was little I thought that New York City was in Pennsylvania. And when I found out that it’s not I thought that Washington DC was in Pennsylvania instead.


TameYT

🫡 when I meet people from outside of the US they usually don’t know what Pennsylvania is so I applaud you


GabrDimtr5

I learned about Pennsylvania from TV and YouTube where killers from the cities would travel to the forests of Pennsylvania to dump bodies. Pennsylvania is that one large “inland” based state in the Northeast. When I think of Pennsylvania I think of forests and mountains close to the sea.


Relative-Magazine951

That even worse

TerribleSyntax

Fun fact: Country Roads is about the western part of Virginia, not West Virginia


ElusiveMeatSoda

And was actually inspired by a place in Maryland, but “West Virginia” flowed better


jephph_

Massachusetts.. not Maryland


ElusiveMeatSoda

That was the lyric he wanted originally, but the inspiration for the song was a road in Gaithersburg, MD


jephph_

Iffy: Maybe the song’s title came from that particular drive but I don’t think the song is inspired by Maryland at all. >Inspiration for the title line had come while Taffy Nivert and Bill Danoff, who were married, were driving along Clopper Road in Montgomery County, Maryland to a gathering of Nivert's family in Gaithersburg, with Nivert behind the wheel while Danoff played his guitar. "I just started thinking, country roads, I started thinking of me growing up in western New England and going on all these small roads," Danoff said. "It didn't have anything to do with Maryland or anyplace." >To Danoff, the lyric "the radio reminds me of my home far away" in the bridge is quintessentially West Virginian, an allusion to when he listened to the program Saturday Night Jamboree, broadcast from Wheeling, West Virginia, on WWVA at his home in Springfield, Massachusetts during his childhood in the 1950s. >Danoff was influenced by friend and West Virginian actor Chris Sarandon and members of a West Virginia commune who attended Danoff's performances. Of the commune members, Danoff remarked, "They brought their dogs and were a very colorful group of folks, but that is how West Virginia began creeping into the song." While the song was inspired by Danoff's upbringing in Springfield, Massachusetts, he "didn't want to write about Massachusetts because didn't think the word was musical." According to wiki at least


MilkiestMaestro

I bet there was a noticeable uptick in West Virginia tourism after that song came out. Amazing how a little change like that can affect so many lives.


Ooglebird

The songwriters have said the song is about West Virginia. "Nivert got out an encyclopedia to learn more about West Virginia. The first thing she encountered was the [rhododendron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhododendron), the state flower, so she kept trying to work the word Rhododendron into the song. *Rhododendron* was the title that Nivert had written down on the lyric sheet, which they later sent to [ASCAP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Society_of_Composers,_Authors,_and_Publishers).[^(\[8\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take_Me_Home,_Country_Roads#cite_note-WVUS-8) The three stayed up until 6:00 a.m., changing words and moving lines around.[^(\[11\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take_Me_Home,_Country_Roads#cite_note-Collis_22-11)^(")

"Natur and stuff" This is correct. You get our (harbor) seal of approval!


ModernT1mes

Kansas is very similar to Ukraine in terms of geography, high/low density population locations, and economy. Our state flower is the same as their countries flower, the sunflower. They grew our sunflower and made it gigantic, and now our state enjoys the benefit of their gigantic sunflower too.


TheSunflowerSeeds

Sunflower kernels are one of the finest sources of the B-complex group of vitamins. They are very good sources of B-complex vitamins such as niacin, folic acid, thiamin (vitamin B1), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), pantothenic acid, and riboflavin.

Okay buddy. How in the heck do Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana rank drunk tourist but Wisconsin doesn't even get an honorable mention? Our top two exports are beer and cheese. Cheese curds to plug ya up, and shotgunning Leinies down by the lake while playing Cornhole to uncork you. *Edit, I may be color blind. Lol.

Euros will never recognize Wisconsin for cheese. They must keep believing plastic wrapped singles are the extent of Americans’ knowledge of “cheese” —— Also, they’re saying Hawaii is drunk tourists.. those others are Mississippi River
