TL;DR: What state or city of your country gets the most satirical love / bullied?
I previously posted a question regarding the Alabama of other countries (apologies to those that did not enjoyed it). However, while reading the comments I discovered that Acre in Brazil doesn’t exist and if it does it is filled with 🦕.
I immediately thought of Tlaxcala (Mexico), which is a hoax, “Tlaxcala son las papás” (parents are Tlaxcala). This is very likely related to the fact that is the smallest state by a far margin, you even need a 🔎 to find it.
So…, I wanted to know what state or city of your country gets the most satirical love / bullied?
It’s moderately common in my social circles to argue that South Dakota is a hoax
Don’t you mean Wyoming?
I’d say Delaware.
They were the first state to sign the Constitution (barely, Pennsylvania was only a week later) and they’ve been kinda coasting on that ever since. The state only has about a million people total, whereas Philadelphia right next door has 1.5m just in the city proper. I-95, one of the busiest highways in America, cuts across the top and you can go across the state that way in 1/2 an hour. We usually have to remind ourselves that Wilmington exists when we think of the Northeast Corridor.
And yet, due to a ton of unique state laws to make DE business friendly, this tiny-ass mostly-forgotten state is the corporate home of over 1.4 million corporations, including 2/3 of Fortune 500 companies. And the state has no sales tax, so most people only go there to buy booze and TVs.
Labrador. Just try and find an actual Labradorese.
At one point it was the Chlamydia capital of the country. The joke these days is that even the weather goes around it instead of through.
