There's no way to tell if having the UP as part of Wisconsin is an honest mistake or a subtle troll and I appreciate that.

Considering that Florida seems to have been successfully sawed off the rest of the US, I'd say yes to both.

Do they have a breakdown of what these are, and/or an explanation for why that was selected? The Swastika seems like a kind of odd thing to select for Switzerland. For most countries/regions it seems to be "strongest dislike of", but a few seem to be more like "greatest fear of" (e.g. California) or "greatest shame of" (Switzerland possibly if it is Nazi gold), although often I guess it could be the same thing.

I thought maybe it was most downvoted images or something but now I don’t think it makes sense for a lot of them and I’m pretty someone just picked these. The ontario one is a little puzzling. Do we hate speed limits? Traffic? The metric system?? I’ve never really heard someone complain about speed limits (everyone knows 100 is the winter speed limit anyway and you won’t get pulled over for 120) Edit: apparently it’s a “world trigger map” which explains New Zealand Starks fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Sep 8, 2019 |

Rhode Island is a hand doing the "itty bitty" gesture I think. No idea what Mass is supposed to be. It looks like clam chowder and a tomato?? Jersey is that photo of Chris Christie on the beach I think.

In 1939 a Maine legislator introduced a bill outlawing the use of tomatoes in chowder. In 1940, Eleanor Early, lambasted the "terrible pink mixture" in her book New England Sampler. Manhattan clam chowder, she wrote, "is only a vegetable soup and not to be confused with New England Clam Chowder, nor spoken of in the same breath. Tomatoes and clams," she wrote, "have no more affinity than ice cream and horseradish." i agree it should not be called chowder but it's still tasty. your level of caremad will depend on if you have adopted chowder as an iconic dish of your regional culture Mr. Fall Down Terror fucked around with this message at 21:00 on Sep 8, 2019 |

luxury handset posted:putting tomato in clam chowder is called "manhattan style" and it makes new england chowder purists mad Wait THAT's the only difference between the two?? I live right on the cultural fault line between NYC and New England, and so yeah I've had my Manhattans and my NE styles. But Manhattan is more than just tomato having, it's super watery rather than creamy. Or is that the effect of smashing a tomato in the NE style? To be frank though, clam chowder is something Mass should be happy about, because NE style is a million times better than Manhattan. I imagine them as smug rather than mad about it. But pure New Englanders get mad about NYC over lots of stuff (including my state being culturally mixed with it lol).

I like how Texas seems to be a competition between Whataburger and In-N-Out. Having moved to Texas from California, I thought they were joking when they suggested it was even a comparison. Whataburger isn't bad, but it's just another grease bomb joint like any of the others. Compare it to Jack in the Box, not In-N-Out.

Kassad posted:It's "what will trigger [insert country here] the most" if I remember right. I've seen it somewhere before. South Korea's makes no sense though: a Barbie doll, apparently, which would get an "uh, okay?" reaction from Koreans at most. I get it refers to how much plastic surgery goes on here, but a) Koreans don't really make that kind of allegorical connection between cosmetic surgery and Barbie dolls and b) the high rates of cosmetic surgery seem to bother non-Koreans more than anyone else. The Japanese imperial flag would've worked best for South Korea tbh. If they were dead-set on each country having a unique image then really China could've had a Tibet flag or one of the proposed independent Taiwan flags to work just as well. edit: A Japanese flag over Dokdo would work perfectly for Korea, actually.

Tomato and clam are meant to be together, I don't care what purists think. Go argue about malts v. shakes instead. The Falklands are also missing, which is a little odd. And does Japan really feel that strongly about whaling? Rolabi Wizenard posted:I like how Texas seems to be a competition between Whataburger and In-N-Out. Having moved to Texas from California, I thought they were joking when they suggested it was even a comparison. Whataburger is pretty good, but they stopped doing my favorite burger of theirs, so I stopped going out of my way to eat at it. Place I used to live was covered in Whataburgers, but now they're all real distant. I really liked how they made the burger as a whole thinner but wider, so that you can perfectly grab and stick the thing in your mouth instead of those dumb falling apart tall burgers some places do. In-N-Out has various properties, but the primary one is being even further away from where I live than the Whataburgers, so to me it currently lacks the primary desired characteristic of fast food.

Calling Manhattan clam chowder "chowder" is misleading and I would literally send it back in a restaurant if it had "clam chowder" listed and came with tomato, unless it was specified)

Louisianna's coast is disappearing. Rising sea levels and all that, land is going underwater. Except...uh, this little spur isn't getting with the program.  It's all part of the whole system of shifting coastline that created most of the area in the first place. Sediment being carried by the river along the way and being deposited at the coastline.  Except this has also been accidentally caused by human attempts at stopping flooding, thereby shooting sediment along the tube of levies out to sea much faster and stronger. It's all a mess, environmental engineering is hard, maybe we can do better in the future. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFiNmEWXPPM https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/world-of-change/WaxLake Saladman posted:Do you eat pineapple on your pizza too, you god drat monster? It's fun to poo poo talk people about food and act all intensely aggressive about things that don't matter, but every so often I sit back and notice that food purism is basically a microcosm of conservatism.

I was, uh, not serious. If calling someone a "god damned monster" for preferring tomatoes to cream is a thing people seriously think or say in your social circles, you might want to find new social circles. Also that 1932 map appears to have the Mississippi river itself above water. You can also go on Google Earth and play with the time slider to see it for yourself, there and in other places, although the map resolution is usually pretty terrible before about 1995.
