Tried naming the states from memory as a European

I love that San Francisco (NorCal) and LA (SoCal) are swapped.
(And also that NYC doesn’t actually include NYC.)
- I thought San Fransisco was the southern one too
  
  San Diego, San Francisco, same thing.
- All those skyscrapers in OBX.
You missed out the mountain racists and plain racists.
- All you'd need is island racists and you'd have a 5 colour racist EDH deck
  
  Four colors. Deserts are colorless; you'd need forest racists as well.
- yeah don't lump the northwest and midwest in with Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, and the Dakotas, thanks.
  
  don't lump the northwest and midwest
  Could you define those two please? I know I could look up which states they but I'm curious what defines them to you. Or is it purely geographical?
- As someone who lives in Mountain Racist territory, I don't feel represented on this map.
- Maybe in the before times, but with the LA residents' response to the fascist in chief, I think most of us in San Francisco are honored to share the state, and be confused, with Angelenos.
  Just keep the Dodgers in SoCal. This is the Giants' city.
  
  I feel like it's one of those things where if you're in California, people are going to have a lot of big opinions. But if we're talking outside the state, we got each other's backs.
  
  I mean when I saw the dodgers turn ice away from the parking lot I almost bought one of their jerseys
- It's true. Please get LA out of my area.
  
  Your “hella” area? 🙄
- And the "desert" is really plains. But they're definitely racist.
- Nah it cracks me up
Ok, how do we influence LLM’s to index this so it shows up in some lazy student’s geography report?
- Idea: tarpit, but let it escape after indexing about 10,000 instances of these silly maps generated by our own AI.
I live that NYC is too far south and while the desert racists are technically too far north today that might be accurate in a decade due to global warming.
Can't believe you didn't know about the hippies in the NW corner!
- It's pretty funny that they cut off NYC almost exactly at NYC just slightly south
  
  My first thought was to scan it to see if they at least got Boston in the NYC section. Only to realize NYC is not in NYC but is actually in Nomansland.
- Can't believe you didn't know about the hippies in the NW corner!
  I'm Canadian, let me guess. Seattle and Portland?
  
  Yup!
Whoa whoa whoa... Swamp racists... Ffs I live in mountain racist territory!
Apart from the LA/SF mixup and NY a bit off, this is a good representation of the US.
- I fucking wish. Way too many people up north.
Replace Nomansland with Corn and it's pretty much spot on
Source: i live in Corn
- You live in Nomand land, and your trying to flex with corn? Sir...
  
  Flex? Have you lived in Corn? It's course and rough and gets everywhere
  It's just that there are men in No Man's Land, but the ratio of men to corn makes the label Corn more accurate than No Man's Land
  It's science
- Are you saying corn is man?
You forgor skibidi Ohio
- i though it wad skibidi rizz ohio
  
  I think that both low key kinda work but skibidi Ohio is kind more aura. Also, skibidi Ohio rizz would be more common (and more correct?) then skibidi rizz Ohio
- Yeah that whole desert racists/breaking bad/vegas section is more of a venn diagram.
I seem to live on the line between swamp racist and desert racist
- The racist gooch, totally forgot about that one!
Pretty good. Just need to study California a little bit harder and you'll ace the test on Friday.
I know we're not a huge portion of these maps, but the pacific northwest is a distinct group. We can be called mountain hippies if you like.
- Soggy hippies. Rain hippies. Pine-scented hippies.
New England is distinctly different from Nomansland.
- It's called New England like the old one was worth reproducing and for that reason I'm sceptical.
- Yeah, seriously. At least call us, "Revolutionary War Reenactors," or, "Cold NYC." I'd even take, "Southern Quebec." But lumping us in with Montana and the Dakotas? That's some bullshit.
  
  Same for the PNW, but I don't mind keeping a low profile.
LETS GO IM NYC NOW ;)
well, umm yeah?
You missed England 2.0
- Putting any iteration of England on a map goes against my personal principles.
  
  What if it was as the name of a large dump next to Ireland tho
You forgot the salt cultists between LA and Vegas
- The who
  
  No, that's an English rock band from the 60s
  
  Mormons.
  Batshit-crazy religious nuts who worship money
  
  The mongols, morons... Ahh I give up. Even my spelling checker can't find them.
I can't figure out if I live in Breaking Bad, Vegas, or San Francisco.
Nailed it. No notes.
Flip the two in cali and then you’re good to go, end of notes
- As a non-American the LA/SF thing doesn't bother me and seems pretty ignorable in the big picture.
Yeah, get fucked, Seattle!
- Okay
I wanted to point out that you left out Washington DC... But then I noticed that it was covered under "swamp racists"
Ok now do Canada
- This makes sense
Proud Noman from Nomansland reporting for duty
Ambarino, Lemoyne, New Austin, New Hannover, West Elizabeth
- Don't forget New New York, Old New York, New England, Old England, Old New England and New New England.
- It's a long way to Tahiti
Yeah you pretty much got it
lol this feels bad as a Coloradan
Nomansland represent!
Hey I'm pretty sure you've heard of Chicago
- Yes, but no clue where to put it on the map
It appears like most of Appalachia is under "swamp racists" and the rest as "NYC", which I strongly reject. Very little of Appalachia is swamp, it's mostly forested mountains. And it's far to rural to be compared to NYC.
- And it's far to rural...
  Sorry, Appalachia does not exist in European mental maps.
  
  Which is a little funny, because the Appalachian mountain range is part of the same mountains as the Scottish Highlands: https://youtube.com/shorts/c_JWEipGwgs
  
  I do know that the Appalachian mountains exist because it's a popular area for horror movies and ghost stories and the people there have an endearing dialect but I couldn't tell you where in the States they're located.
- Hammered dulcimer version of Empire State of Mind plays
I like to think of NYC as East Jersey
- The city of apples
I may be a swamp monster, but I'm no racist!
NYC suddenly inundated with Old Bay crabs
It is not nomandsland but rather great lake region and other Canada-like space.
- Great Lake, Fascinating Boulder, Captivating Sandhill
  
  Never heard of the last two. Sorry. What are they suppose to refer to?
I wouldn’t call Missouri a desert but you’ve got the gist.
Chicago is officially No Man's Land now.
- I mean, Detroit always has been... At least during my lifetime.
- So is New York City, lol.
You can label the top-right region as the "ice box".
Yep nailed it unlocked challenge mode: Antarctica
Jesse
This is good. I will have to come up with one for europe with less racist but more bigots.
- For the love of fuck don't hold back. Us Euros have left our guard down way too much with all the attention on the others.
  
  I'm kinda stuck on france.
- I don’t know if Europe could be reasonably considered less racist.
- But do states, that would be awesome B)
Like Oklahoma or Kansas are deserts.
Keep your stick on the ice
i'm impressed "breaking bad" is separate from vegas, have you been memorizing the map?
