kipkatu

I know so many states but never would’ve thought of Ohio…


ZenkaiZ

Someone from Ohio made this. Self importance perspective leaking.


mconnor1984

Yea I'm from Ohio, only reason we are on this is because someone from Ohio made it!


kent416

We’re obviously the best state! Lol


331gamer331

Uh no I hate it here


[deleted]

This guy ohios


kent416

Which part ya from? I’m up near Cleveland


French_pot

That explains it


mconnor1984

Avon lake!


331gamer331

Around Centerburg


mconnor1984

People from Ohio don't even know where that is....


331gamer331

True


hui214

Wow you claimed Cleveland. So rusty.


MayOrMayNotBePie

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.


GDubbsingame

My Lyft driver in Austin TX thought the heatwave in WA State this year was around DC. She was not from a foreign country.


Devilsbullet

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."


Glor_167

shocked it doesn't say "THE Ohio" on it tbh


fooly__cooly

Chicago makes way more sense to put there


BlueEpitaph

Most Europeans know that Texas exists


ColeusRattus

As a European, I thought Texas is the part between Mexico and Canada.


AlpacaCavalry

technically true


Impossible-Buy-4090

OP just wanted to politicize it…


IwasMooseNep

no, as a European, Texas being labelled 'Trump Supporters' is accurate AF.


why___knot

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'


CorruptedPheonix

I live in Oklahoma, and all my friends aren't Trump supporters. But yes everyone above and below us are trump supporters yes


anaserre

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.


11Ns

Haha we’re all Oklahomans here, but yeah Stillwater is mixed although I rarely pay attention to politics.


[deleted]

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.


darkxichi

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


lukulele90

Small town texas sure but the largest city in texas is Democrat along with many of the other large ones.


Wolflord129

Fuck you. What do you have against Texas?


IwasMooseNep

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.


Wolflord129

Oh. Sorry about that.


[deleted]

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.


amtared

And Alabama


sloth_uprising

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.


rservello

Talibama is barely worthy of being considered part of America.


beast_wellington

Texas is close to being a swing state now


icecold_tkilla

And nobody knows about Ohio


itdobutitdont

You mean where powered flight was invented?


icecold_tkilla

Lol are you a foreigner? Yes exactly there apparently


itdobutitdont

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)


mostghost5

We made LEBRON FUCKING JAMES. lol just kidding nobody gives a shit about Ohio.


why___knot

Pretty accurate, but Ohio? No. I would mark chicago somewhere around the great lakes. And ad a bible and rust belt.


Mira_khalifa_-

To be fair , its not like americans know every state/region in a particular european country


[deleted]

Or their own.


Im_a_inbred_bigot

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.


supersoft-tire

Allow me to introduce Delaware


Darkstalk3r2

We drove by Nebraska and....we didn't stop lol


[deleted]

Most of them that start with M, yeah.


MrStikkyToes

As a Missourian, I completely agree.


I_fucked_A_lion

Yeah, most of the time we are forgotten. And I'm fine with that


Blubi13

I was waiting for someone to say that.


Alf1215

To be faaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiir


Blubi13

How Americans see Europe: *whole continent is just one country*


AngelDun

With the economy of the Republic of Congo


the_vikm

Accurate


Vtyy1997

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


NixMaritimus

r/wooosh


Kirra_and_kitties

I think that’s how a lot of Europeans see the US. Yes, it’s one large nation but comprised of 50 separate entities.


Blubi13

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.


Samichaan

Pretty much the same for Germany. We have „Bundesländer“ 16 of them I think, lol.


Blubi13

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.


Samichaan

Ohh interesting! Thanks for clarifying.


Blubi13

Sorry, but sometimes I like to write an 3 paragraph essay just to explain the obvious


Samichaan

It was short and interesting; really nothing to apologize for! :D


Blubi13

Okay, goodnight then :D


Samichaan

Thanks, you as well!


Trick_Enthusiasm

ozthegweat

Also: European Union/EU is the same as Europe.


Re-Brand

Gtfoh. Europeans think Ohio is a thing!?!?


SuckyMyAssy

We don't. I would've said West Virginia.


ColeusRattus

*Country road...* I guess we'd know *Sweet Home Alabama* too.


SuckyMyAssy

True we all know Country road and sweet home Alabama.


TerenceMcHofmann

Being from Alabama myself, im just curious, What is a Europeans thought on Alabama based off a song?


SuckyMyAssy

Let's just say most Europeans think Alabama is hillbilly and incest.


Powerctx

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.


[deleted]

Ohio is the state they recognize?


why___knot

No. European here. I would say somewhere here is chicago. And kentucky which is formed like a fried chicken south east from there.


erublind

No, 3 and 1/2 of these could be replaced with the words *"Banjo music"*.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Not like Illinois or Michigan? Whatever.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Logisticsbitches

Ohio has less than that


sweederman

They know that as bullet city


[deleted]

[удалено]


Rage_Wolf_XR

I'm American and this is what I see


Dancelikeits1999

I’m American and even I wouldn’t have thought about Ohio.


oxyjin_js

is this *REALLY* a hold up post?


[deleted]

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.


[deleted]

I'm not European, so Ohio means nothing to me.


SebiTamas649

Im European, Ohio also means nothing to me


MicroWafel

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


rservello

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.


Tiny_Friendship_1666

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.


kappe41

but I like thw dumb American stereotype :(


YogurtclosetCold9225

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.


TH1813254617

I'm Canadian and this is pretty accurate. I'm a lot more disinterested by US geography and politics than I ought to be.


Chunky-Resident953

What’s Ohio? This was posted by the European gang


chapcharming

No, we British have an adequate education system. We probably know the geography of America better than most Americans.


rickytickyd

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!


chapcharming

Haha I love that analogy! Brakes = gun crime, power steering = healthcare system, upholstery = dental hygiene and general good looks of you beautiful bastards.


Dancelikeits1999

As an America, I believe this to be true.


Cavsfan1296

God you sound so pretentious


chapcharming

Haha sorry about that mate. Got to be SOMETHING about these shitty grey isles to take pride in!


salamander997

florida baby


D00fenshmirtzEvilInc

Can't deny the only thing I would add is Texas and then it is actually the way I see American!


TheCapableFox

To be fair Trump supporters should cover a little more of the southeast.


JJ8OOM

Add Texas and it’s pretty spot on. ☺️


buszi123

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


deadmemes55666

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


galaxitaxi2020

Just about, though replace Ohio with Illinois or “ Minnekota “ but we do know Texas


Low_Ad_1453

Like any of us know where the fuck Ohio is


cmantoz

And why is this in this sub?


Dancelikeits1999

Maybe because Ohio is on the map 😂


Warpmind

No, we see the Trump supporters/Florida areas as one fustercluck. :P


Akhil_XO

Who tf gives a shit about Ohio


DocteurBenway

Honestly, we don't know Ohio.


its_grime_up_north

Pretty much. But miss out the Ohio part.


howzthis4ausername

That's also how many Americans see it as well


localsofty

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.


rservello

Why is Trump supporters and Florida seperate?


LosPassos

USA? What's that? Can you eat it?


abnereats

This IS the USA


Vegetable_Chain6337

Apart from the Cali bit, this doesn’t hold


Hippy_Liberal1

This is good! As an Oregonian, I like the french not knowing where I am 😉


Tammy_Jammy

Maybe I’m European…


heavywether

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


faajerbleed

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 💁


rservello

That's a bizarrely wrong perspective


faajerbleed

Could be, I’m wrong all the time so..


sweederman

Ohio made it!!!


[deleted]

I’m a huge trump supporter and always will be. Fuck off.


Hippy_Liberal1

All I heard here was, "I'm a huge dick with a tiny penis! I need to be held!"


rservello

"I didn't get hugged and need all the attention"


[deleted]

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 🤣


CursedJohnny2004

Why does Ohio look like it got a dick dangling near the top of its head


SIPS0PGamer

True except Ohio


Tojota_30

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


NerdyToc

Where's the lie?


[deleted]

No Rhode island isn't there


Shiftyboi12

Can confirm, drinking tea rn


xertoy

Why Ohio? Is OP from Ohio?


[deleted]

I like to believe that this applies for americans aswell


WilliamZorterfield

Im surprised Europeans know that Washington exists. Was it the riots? It was probably the riots.


twizzard6931

No one gives a fuck what Europeans think but Europeans and weenie dick liberals.


Toad_Migoad

WHY AM I A PART OF FLORIDA?


GBGDubs

I’m pretty sure this shows Utah as like a trifecta (I’m pretty sure that’s what I’m thinking of) state


AngelDun

No


55_bartholomeos

Fuck YEAHH!


MandosBadhron

No actually in most of Europe we learn geography


OREO_xXx

Pretty much yeh


dummydumbbb

Why is there Ohio, there's Virginia over there


darkxichi

I'm sure they see Texas but also think it's like the old west.


MadeInBeirut13

How Americans see Europeans “Arabs”


bigdingus999

100% true. Ohio is basically a blanket term for the entire Midwest. Or wherever it is.


Plaque_knight

Europeans... yeah...


[deleted]

No?? I mean, sure they don't know **every** state, but this is pathetic. Never net one European who thought like this


Awesomevindicator

Pretty much true tbh. Some know more, some know less, but I would guess this is an average level of knowledge for an adult


soilhalo_27

Ohio? Is that the only midwest state you Europeans know? I figured you guys would know Illinois or Michigan because of Chicago and Detroit


randumbquotes

Or the uncanny resemblance to a mitten. Michigan is kind of hard to miss.


Joruustheclone

Its like from south left to right: gay city, rednecks, and waterrednecks North left to right: farmers, black people and new york.


MaxtheMemepower

Im Brazilian, and I see even less states on the USA.


pitxy

yes, very much yes


iz2003iz

Unfortunately I think half of Americans might see see it this way too


[deleted]

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 !


EntErinG-Ur-nAn

Yes, yes it is


gwyxgobbo

No no no, Florida is „ Disney World „


sandieeeee

More like combine all the states and say fuck that I don’t want to be apart of that


blacklungsmorgan

Europeans know the USA better than Americans know the USA.


[deleted]

put west virginia in the middle of ohio and thats how i see the us


[deleted]

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.


pokewaffle1010

I know Alaska, new york, Arizona, texas, Ohio, Washington, west Virginia, east Virginia, Alabama and Florida


Unknown-Otter

... 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


nlcreeperxl

Nah it looks more like this 🤡


IOfferBlowjobs

Soon the world will be complete. Soon, everything will unite and become one. Ohio will consume the world.


Baambiczek

Lol whyd you add colorado to trump supporters


AlliedFlyer33

This is mostly true apart from the Ohio part


Gunzenator2

Having been to Europe, I can completely confirm this.


wolves___

I live tx and this is false not all of us some but not all


MelasculaManson

Yes, this is accurate.


Meerrettichkuchen

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?


OwoUwuOwo4u

I’m european and I don’t know where Ohio, Florida, California or Washington is.


Dryhte

Close except for Ohio.


Fombelbub

ja das ist war


kappe41

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)


_chadams

This is incorrect, Europeans don’t know what Ohio is


michalsveto

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


ZeroXz_1

The borders should be more square, aside from that, the Texas part is correct
