Florida is so redneck that they crossed a threshold into its own category. Florida Man.

too weird to live… too rare to die…

Seriously, I can't believe people try to say its not really the south. Like its literally the furthest south you can go in the US.

[-] jawsua@lemmy.one 10 points 1 year ago

It's like Austria. Sure, technically they're German, but they're their own thing

"Austria is German(y)" was pushed by a very specific group for a very specific purpose.

The word you want is Germanic. There is a very important distinction between the national and ethnic or cultural terms here.

Thank you, seriously wasn't trying to make fascist arguments, I promise. Just trying to make a comparison and why certain things can't always be grouped together

[-] SolarNialamide@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Goddamn don't let Austrians hear you just called them German

so you just ignore the "Show context" button then?

Their state is solid, versus liquid, gas, or plasma.

But yeah, I get ya. You could be simply skipping my dogshit joke to get to the meat of your question. I don't know their lat and Google is too far.

US VI and Guam would now like a word as well.

[-] ilex@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Hey now, we have to have a US III, IV, and V, before we get to VI.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
