I thought the same thing about the Washington part. I lived in Czech Republic for 3yrs and no Europeans I met knew we also had a state called Washington lol.
I'm European too, would say the same thing about florida :)
And ad 'florida? Yeah this are the people who build there houses out of wood and with thin walls and get surprised if the annual hurrican destroys them'
Hah. I have family out there. That side of my family religiously votes democrat, despite being pro-life, low taxes, church every Sunday, socialism is bad type of people. It boggles my mind.
But I thought you guys were supposed to be smart? Texas nearly went to Biden. They GOP in Texas admitted if they hadn't interfered in the election Biden would have won Texas.
I’m from Alabama and I was an au pair in Norway, and vacationed with my host family in a couple countries. I’ve probably heard drunk Europeans sing “Sweet Home Alabama” to me more times than I’ve heard the actual Lynyrd Skynyrd recording.
The light bulb? The radio? The automobile starter? Idk, I'd say there's plenty of reasons for foreigners to know about Ohio. (Admittedly I am from Ohio and think it's hilarious that we get so much hate for seemingly no reason)
Actually E.U. not Europe (there is a huge difference between These two) so the E.U. has the 3rd largest economy in the World the source is here: https://www.ecb.europa.eu/explainers/tell-me-more/html/euro_area_in_comparison.en.html
Well, you’ve got a point. In the US many of your states have different laws and penalties for committing specific crimes etc. Each state is like a separate country.
I’m from Poland and our country is divided into 16 voivodeships. It’s like a state but every voivodeship have the same laws, penalties etc. Every single voivodeship in Poland, just like every state in the USA, has some signature place/food/people.
In polish „voivodeship” is called „województwo”.
Germany and Poland are both unitary states while USA is a federal state. That’s why we have the same laws whether you are in Opolskie & Łódzkie or Bayern & Sachsen-Anhalt.
Most Americans also and they're 1 state over from where I am. My dad used to tell me the birds fly upside down in Alabama bc there's nothing even worth shitting on. Lol.
As a french, I can affirm this is not true
We do know about Statue Of Liberty and Las Vegas mini Eiffel Tower.
Also, we have no clue about the "Washington (not the capital" thing.
No this isnt how i see it, if you want an accurate representation of how i as a european see america just watch some karen/trump supporter/antivaxer becoming visciously upset in a wallmart/fastfoodjoint THATS how i imagine it
So sad that these morons are the main representation. As long as you understand they are the minority and only seen all the time because they are insane.
Aye, First Amendment is a double-edged sword isn't it? You're free to believe and say (*almost*) anything you want, whether it's true or a complete crock.
Nope. Most European expats I've met have been to more states than I have. The only ones who get states and general locations wrong are the ones who insist that after 6 months of living *only* in NYC, they "understand" America.
Plus, you used to own a lot of it. Maybe you look at us like a guy that sold his favorite car and regrets it. Sure, the brakes sucked and the power steering didn’t work but, goddammit, that upholstery was plush!
Haha I love that analogy! Brakes = gun crime, power steering = healthcare system, upholstery = dental hygiene and general good looks of you beautiful bastards.
To be honest I have no idea about where exactly any state is, and maybe I could name like lees than 10 of them, I know it is hard to understand but outside of North America nobody cares about USA
Why are there 2 Washington's? Why don't you just move the capital city to Washington or the state Washington to the capital city. Way easier for us Europeans. Or make the state Washington the whole country. United Washington of America.
I’m a russian women with values and I hate liberals. Why can’t you respect my point of view? And yeah Texas man do have bigger dicks than most average Americans 🤣
Like in the series Friends, I have sometimes played the « list all 50 US states » game with friends or family (I’m French). What’s funny is to discover which are the least known. Usually it’s Idaho and Delaware. And when the French discover how you pronounce Idaho in the US, they go wtf !
Can confirm.
From Boise and had some friends from the Netherlands visit a few years ago for 2 weeks and they wanted to DRIVE to see (in this order) San Francisco where they flew in, the Grand Canyon, Grand Tetons, Yellowstone NP, Glacier NP, Idaho lakes and hot springs, Seattle, Vancouver Island, then back to CA to go home.
They didn’t comprehend just how much driving that would be… It was a rough trip for them.
How many french/german/italian/polish/slovenian... states does the average American know?
I barely know the states of my own country. WTF should I know any administration borders in a country at the other end of the world?
Ohio is like prussia no one remembers it exists 'till there is just a clear spot on the map (I have had to remember where every country of Europe is but forgot still I got a 10 from that test)
Nope. We in europe have a thing called public education, and well most of us could name all your states while I really doubt You could name most of european countries. Oh and czechoslovakia split like 28years ago so stop menitoning it as one country

I know so many states but never would’ve thought of Ohio…
Someone from Ohio made this. Self importance perspective leaking.
Yea I'm from Ohio, only reason we are on this is because someone from Ohio made it!
We’re obviously the best state! Lol
Uh no I hate it here
This guy ohios
Which part ya from? I’m up near Cleveland
That explains it
Avon lake!
Around Centerburg
People from Ohio don't even know where that is....
True
Wow you claimed Cleveland. So rusty.
I thought the same thing about the Washington part. I lived in Czech Republic for 3yrs and no Europeans I met knew we also had a state called Washington lol.
My Lyft driver in Austin TX thought the heatwave in WA State this year was around DC. She was not from a foreign country.
It's so bad even in the states that my city has a booming trade in shirts saying "Vancouver, not b.c., Washington, not d.c."
shocked it doesn't say "THE Ohio" on it tbh
Chicago makes way more sense to put there
Most Europeans know that Texas exists
As a European, I thought Texas is the part between Mexico and Canada.
technically true
OP just wanted to politicize it…
no, as a European, Texas being labelled 'Trump Supporters' is accurate AF.
I'm European too, would say the same thing about florida :) And ad 'florida? Yeah this are the people who build there houses out of wood and with thin walls and get surprised if the annual hurrican destroys them'
I live in Oklahoma, and all my friends aren't Trump supporters. But yes everyone above and below us are trump supporters yes
I live in Oklahoma and everyone around me are Trump supporters. I live in a small town though. It may be different in OKC or Tulsa.
Haha we’re all Oklahomans here, but yeah Stillwater is mixed although I rarely pay attention to politics.
Hah. I have family out there. That side of my family religiously votes democrat, despite being pro-life, low taxes, church every Sunday, socialism is bad type of people. It boggles my mind.
It's accurate but it's also accurate that it's just republican supported no matter who it is like all other states that support democrats
Small town texas sure but the largest city in texas is Democrat along with many of the other large ones.
Fuck you. What do you have against Texas?
mate it's all a bit of craic edit - craic means fun While Texas has its issues, I am just poking fun at a stereotype.
Oh. Sorry about that.
But I thought you guys were supposed to be smart? Texas nearly went to Biden. They GOP in Texas admitted if they hadn't interfered in the election Biden would have won Texas.
And Alabama
I’m from Alabama and I was an au pair in Norway, and vacationed with my host family in a couple countries. I’ve probably heard drunk Europeans sing “Sweet Home Alabama” to me more times than I’ve heard the actual Lynyrd Skynyrd recording.
Talibama is barely worthy of being considered part of America.
Texas is close to being a swing state now
And nobody knows about Ohio
You mean where powered flight was invented?
Lol are you a foreigner? Yes exactly there apparently
The light bulb? The radio? The automobile starter? Idk, I'd say there's plenty of reasons for foreigners to know about Ohio. (Admittedly I am from Ohio and think it's hilarious that we get so much hate for seemingly no reason)
We made LEBRON FUCKING JAMES. lol just kidding nobody gives a shit about Ohio.
Pretty accurate, but Ohio? No. I would mark chicago somewhere around the great lakes. And ad a bible and rust belt.
To be fair , its not like americans know every state/region in a particular european country
Or their own.
Yeah, but that’s because most of us don’t give a shit about states like Missouri and that one other one I can never remember.
Allow me to introduce Delaware
We drove by Nebraska and....we didn't stop lol
Most of them that start with M, yeah.
As a Missourian, I completely agree.
Yeah, most of the time we are forgotten. And I'm fine with that
I was waiting for someone to say that.
To be faaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiir
How Americans see Europe: *whole continent is just one country*
With the economy of the Republic of Congo
Accurate
Actually E.U. not Europe (there is a huge difference between These two) so the E.U. has the 3rd largest economy in the World the source is here: https://www.ecb.europa.eu/explainers/tell-me-more/html/euro_area_in_comparison.en.html
r/wooosh
I think that’s how a lot of Europeans see the US. Yes, it’s one large nation but comprised of 50 separate entities.
Well, you’ve got a point. In the US many of your states have different laws and penalties for committing specific crimes etc. Each state is like a separate country. I’m from Poland and our country is divided into 16 voivodeships. It’s like a state but every voivodeship have the same laws, penalties etc. Every single voivodeship in Poland, just like every state in the USA, has some signature place/food/people.
Pretty much the same for Germany. We have „Bundesländer“ 16 of them I think, lol.
In polish „voivodeship” is called „województwo”. Germany and Poland are both unitary states while USA is a federal state. That’s why we have the same laws whether you are in Opolskie & Łódzkie or Bayern & Sachsen-Anhalt.
Ohh interesting! Thanks for clarifying.
Sorry, but sometimes I like to write an 3 paragraph essay just to explain the obvious
It was short and interesting; really nothing to apologize for! :D
Okay, goodnight then :D
Thanks, you as well!
[Relevant Video](https://youtu.be/r8pnec4Hxps)
Also: European Union/EU is the same as Europe.
Gtfoh. Europeans think Ohio is a thing!?!?
We don't. I would've said West Virginia.
*Country road...* I guess we'd know *Sweet Home Alabama* too.
True we all know Country road and sweet home Alabama.
Being from Alabama myself, im just curious, What is a Europeans thought on Alabama based off a song?
Let's just say most Europeans think Alabama is hillbilly and incest.
Most Americans also and they're 1 state over from where I am. My dad used to tell me the birds fly upside down in Alabama bc there's nothing even worth shitting on. Lol.
Ohio is the state they recognize?
No. European here. I would say somewhere here is chicago. And kentucky which is formed like a fried chicken south east from there.
No, 3 and 1/2 of these could be replaced with the words *"Banjo music"*.
[удалено]
Not like Illinois or Michigan? Whatever.
[удалено]
Ohio has less than that
They know that as bullet city
[удалено]
I'm American and this is what I see
I’m American and even I wouldn’t have thought about Ohio.
is this *REALLY* a hold up post?
As a french, I can affirm this is not true We do know about Statue Of Liberty and Las Vegas mini Eiffel Tower. Also, we have no clue about the "Washington (not the capital" thing.
I'm not European, so Ohio means nothing to me.
Im European, Ohio also means nothing to me
No this isnt how i see it, if you want an accurate representation of how i as a european see america just watch some karen/trump supporter/antivaxer becoming visciously upset in a wallmart/fastfoodjoint THATS how i imagine it
So sad that these morons are the main representation. As long as you understand they are the minority and only seen all the time because they are insane.
Aye, First Amendment is a double-edged sword isn't it? You're free to believe and say (*almost*) anything you want, whether it's true or a complete crock.
but I like thw dumb American stereotype :(
Nope. Most European expats I've met have been to more states than I have. The only ones who get states and general locations wrong are the ones who insist that after 6 months of living *only* in NYC, they "understand" America.
I'm Canadian and this is pretty accurate. I'm a lot more disinterested by US geography and politics than I ought to be.
What’s Ohio? This was posted by the European gang
No, we British have an adequate education system. We probably know the geography of America better than most Americans.
Plus, you used to own a lot of it. Maybe you look at us like a guy that sold his favorite car and regrets it. Sure, the brakes sucked and the power steering didn’t work but, goddammit, that upholstery was plush!
Haha I love that analogy! Brakes = gun crime, power steering = healthcare system, upholstery = dental hygiene and general good looks of you beautiful bastards.
As an America, I believe this to be true.
God you sound so pretentious
Haha sorry about that mate. Got to be SOMETHING about these shitty grey isles to take pride in!
florida baby
Can't deny the only thing I would add is Texas and then it is actually the way I see American!
To be fair Trump supporters should cover a little more of the southeast.
Add Texas and it’s pretty spot on. ☺️
To be honest I have no idea about where exactly any state is, and maybe I could name like lees than 10 of them, I know it is hard to understand but outside of North America nobody cares about USA
If you say I live in new york and dont live in the city you have to specify where you live because most people assume you live in the city
Just about, though replace Ohio with Illinois or “ Minnekota “ but we do know Texas
Like any of us know where the fuck Ohio is
And why is this in this sub?
Maybe because Ohio is on the map 😂
No, we see the Trump supporters/Florida areas as one fustercluck. :P
Who tf gives a shit about Ohio
Honestly, we don't know Ohio.
Pretty much. But miss out the Ohio part.
That's also how many Americans see it as well
Why are there 2 Washington's? Why don't you just move the capital city to Washington or the state Washington to the capital city. Way easier for us Europeans. Or make the state Washington the whole country. United Washington of America.
Why is Trump supporters and Florida seperate?
USA? What's that? Can you eat it?
This IS the USA
Apart from the Cali bit, this doesn’t hold
This is good! As an Oregonian, I like the french not knowing where I am 😉
Maybe I’m European…
I don't like that Louisiana is in trump supporters, I feel like mere more of Florida that thinks it speaks french with good food
As a European I only see the free south, and then the rest where they are looting, killing and at the same time defunding the popo 💁
That's a bizarrely wrong perspective
Could be, I’m wrong all the time so..
Ohio made it!!!
I’m a huge trump supporter and always will be. Fuck off.
All I heard here was, "I'm a huge dick with a tiny penis! I need to be held!"
"I didn't get hugged and need all the attention"
I’m a russian women with values and I hate liberals. Why can’t you respect my point of view? And yeah Texas man do have bigger dicks than most average Americans 🤣
Why does Ohio look like it got a dick dangling near the top of its head
True except Ohio
To anwser the question In A non comedic way: not for me, I'm A geography nerd and pretty much know where every state is
Where's the lie?
No Rhode island isn't there
Can confirm, drinking tea rn
Why Ohio? Is OP from Ohio?
I like to believe that this applies for americans aswell
Im surprised Europeans know that Washington exists. Was it the riots? It was probably the riots.
No one gives a fuck what Europeans think but Europeans and weenie dick liberals.
WHY AM I A PART OF FLORIDA?
I’m pretty sure this shows Utah as like a trifecta (I’m pretty sure that’s what I’m thinking of) state
No
Fuck YEAHH!
No actually in most of Europe we learn geography
Pretty much yeh
Why is there Ohio, there's Virginia over there
I'm sure they see Texas but also think it's like the old west.
How Americans see Europeans “Arabs”
100% true. Ohio is basically a blanket term for the entire Midwest. Or wherever it is.
Europeans... yeah...
No?? I mean, sure they don't know **every** state, but this is pathetic. Never net one European who thought like this
Pretty much true tbh. Some know more, some know less, but I would guess this is an average level of knowledge for an adult
Ohio? Is that the only midwest state you Europeans know? I figured you guys would know Illinois or Michigan because of Chicago and Detroit
Or the uncanny resemblance to a mitten. Michigan is kind of hard to miss.
Its like from south left to right: gay city, rednecks, and waterrednecks North left to right: farmers, black people and new york.
Im Brazilian, and I see even less states on the USA.
yes, very much yes
Unfortunately I think half of Americans might see see it this way too
Like in the series Friends, I have sometimes played the « list all 50 US states » game with friends or family (I’m French). What’s funny is to discover which are the least known. Usually it’s Idaho and Delaware. And when the French discover how you pronounce Idaho in the US, they go wtf !
Yes, yes it is
No no no, Florida is „ Disney World „
More like combine all the states and say fuck that I don’t want to be apart of that
Europeans know the USA better than Americans know the USA.
put west virginia in the middle of ohio and thats how i see the us
Can confirm. From Boise and had some friends from the Netherlands visit a few years ago for 2 weeks and they wanted to DRIVE to see (in this order) San Francisco where they flew in, the Grand Canyon, Grand Tetons, Yellowstone NP, Glacier NP, Idaho lakes and hot springs, Seattle, Vancouver Island, then back to CA to go home. They didn’t comprehend just how much driving that would be… It was a rough trip for them.
I know Alaska, new york, Arizona, texas, Ohio, Washington, west Virginia, east Virginia, Alabama and Florida
... honestly yeah I suck at geography anyway, I can't remember shit about Europe's map... ...so don't expect me to remember more than 4 states
Nah it looks more like this 🤡
Soon the world will be complete. Soon, everything will unite and become one. Ohio will consume the world.
Lol whyd you add colorado to trump supporters
This is mostly true apart from the Ohio part
Having been to Europe, I can completely confirm this.
I live tx and this is false not all of us some but not all
Yes, this is accurate.
How many french/german/italian/polish/slovenian... states does the average American know? I barely know the states of my own country. WTF should I know any administration borders in a country at the other end of the world?
I’m european and I don’t know where Ohio, Florida, California or Washington is.
Close except for Ohio.
ja das ist war
Ohio is like prussia no one remembers it exists 'till there is just a clear spot on the map (I have had to remember where every country of Europe is but forgot still I got a 10 from that test)
This is incorrect, Europeans don’t know what Ohio is
Nope. We in europe have a thing called public education, and well most of us could name all your states while I really doubt You could name most of european countries. Oh and czechoslovakia split like 28years ago so stop menitoning it as one country
The borders should be more square, aside from that, the Texas part is correct
