Is this what it's like to have a stroke?

It smells like burnt toast

I'm scaared

I smell colors...

I touch smells...

Me too

You're having a stroke or overcooking your toast

r/unexpectedboburnham

haha bob urnham

Call me and I’ll tell you a joke

Dude, the HRE is what it's like to have a stroke

HRE = Holy Roman Empire Your welcome

Holy Roman Empire = Unholy Nonroman Sortofempire

Holy Roman Empire = Holy Roman and Empire

It had the blessing of the Pope as well as Rome, at least at first, so I contest this argument.

Jersey is 4 states away from NY, i can get behind this

My favorite part of this is according to this map NYC doesn't exist. So nothing of value was lost.

This is legit exactly what I asked myself

You may also get Sictongue. Must have been the New Poison.

I could name like 20

3 2 1 go

okay without looking at the map i'll write every state i remember in a random order. nebraska, Arkansas, texas, new york, Washington dc, boston, new jersey, ohio, Florida, Idaho, Chicago, hawaii, Oregon, Alabama, Alaska, colorado, 16/20.. close enough right? (edit: oh my god I get notifications that it's 13/20 not 16/20 every few minutes)

I live the state Chicago and Washington dc

I live in the constant state of misery

We be neighbours fr

We're roommates fr

I’m in your closet fr

Sooooooo... you're gay?

Burrnnn

you live in missouri? damn that sucks, i hope you can get out of there soon

oh the missouri

I live in Austin Massachusetts

Yeah at least Chicago belongs to a state, DC doesn’t even have that privilege

3 of those are cities

actually new york is a state, dc and chicago are def cities tho LOL

I don't think they were referring to New York...

wait i missed boston nvm LMAO

Bro never heard of california

yeah the hell is that i am talking about popular states like Arkansas

yeah, Cali is one of those states that nobody knows about and is basically a barren wasteland. its the famous states like Arkansas and Minnesota that everyone knows about that are packed with hundreds of thousands of people edit: seeing all these replies has made me realize i was thinking of Minnesota. my apologies, everyone

D C isn’t a state it’s federal land

you forgot mashington also DC isnt a state, and Chicago is a country

ah yes my favorite country, chicago

Chicago is a continent you goober 🤦

MISINFORMATION CHICAGO IS A FUCKING PLANET

Galaxy*

Ah yes, the beautiful state of Washington DC. Not to be confused with the US capital city/ federal district, Washington.

wait these two are diffrent??

Washington is in the west and Washington DC in the east, tho I never understood their thought process in that

Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Indiana, Nebraska, Florida, New York, Washington, Texas, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Utah, Alaska, Hawaii Those are all I can remember off the top of my head, but there's a huge difference between states and actual countries, even though they are federal, I wouldn't expect an American to be able to name a single UK county aside from greater London

I'll give it a go. Kent. It's been a recurring answer on last week's NYT crossword. Then you have Essex, Cumberland, Northumberland, Devon, Dorset. Then you just take some random town or British word and add -shire to it. Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, Cambridgeshire, Yorkshire, Lancashire, Sloughshire, Shropshire, Stoke-on-Trentshire, Manchestershire, Coventryshire, Oxfordshire, Cockneyshire, Canterburyshire, Wolverhamptonshire, Cardiffshire, Bathshire, Glasgowshire, Blimeyshire, Wankershire, Snogshire, Chuffedshire, Blokeshire, Dodgyshire, Arse-over-Titshire. Super easy.

I do live in Hampshire 😭 but I don't know any cities named Hamp, I looked it up though, soutHAMPton is why it's Hampshire

Durham’s a county and that’s not in greater London, so I know more that the average American. Still don’t know much though.

Its not our fault your countries are the size of our states.

lived in England for 3 years in Mildenhall, so....Suffolk?!

I bet you couldn’t even name 5 Australian states

Queensland????? Tasmania????? Western Australia????? Fuck, you're right. I actually can't.

I’m impressed that you got those three and then not the two with our largest cities (New South Wales and Victoria btw). You also missed South Australia. There is only six states and two internal territories so 3 isn’t bad.

I didn't bother learning geography with context lol. I just went on a campaign of learning other countries subdivisions to tell Europeans they're bad at geography. Any info I have about a country comes from prior knowledge, either from AP Euro/World, or youtube.

Lol I learnt every capital city and flag, and quite a few subdivisions in the back of my yr11 human bio class because it was soo boring. Jetpunk.com carried me through that year.

Australia¹ Australia² Australia³ Australia⁴ Australia⁵

Fire, spiders, misery, pain, austria

Can’t believe you forgot the entire snake genre

Australia has entered the fight

this ain’t abt us

This is making me uncomfortable. Look at the cute little alberta

Bet you can't name 3 states in German or 3 oblasts in Russia, or 3 regions in Italy or Czechia *stop! Please! I got already +200 messages!!! It was referred to the author of the post not everyone to respond

California State Geography Bee Finalist Here Germany: Mecklinberg, Bavaria, Brandenburg Russia: Kaliningrad, Chechnya, Dagestan Italy: Sicily, Sardina, Piedmont Czechia, only can name the cities there, Carlsbad, Brno, Pruage (thanks Hoi4).

You didn't have to mention that you're a hoi4 player

Gives off massive "i use arch btw" vibes

Oh, did I mention that I use arch?

it’s not a flex, it’s a certification.

It's a diagnosis

Sadly, it’s terminal…

Thanks CK3

Mecklenburg is technically fully "Mecklenburg Vorpommern", due to it being a fusion consisting of the remainder of Pommerania and, well, Mecklenburg. Same reason its Schleswig-Holstein and not just one or the other. I'll give you the points for it however!

So that's why I had no fucking clue what "Mecklinberg" was lmao

Kaliningrad is not an oblast, it's a city. You are thinking of Kaliningradskaya Oblast, it has some other smaller towns there, aside from Kaliningrad itself. Dagestan and Chechnya are not oblasts. Legally, they are republics. Sorry.

Lmfao Piedmont is a hilarious translation. It's correct, but it's the first time i see it and it's hilarious

>Germany: Mecklinberg, Bavaria, Brandenburg 1. Mecklenb**u**rg-Vorpommern - "Berg" means "Mountain", whilst "Burg" means "Castle" 2. Bayern - "Bavaria" is just the English name | or may we all call the big city at the US east coast "Nieuw Amsterdam" 3. Brandenburg - correct | It would have been much easier to name the 3 city states: Berlin, Hamburg, Bremen ;-)

You went for Dagestan and Chechnya but not Moscow and Leningrad oblasts? Also Sardinia and Sicily are islands, not regions of Italy like Campania, Emilia-Romagna, Abruzzo, etc.

I just saw a hearts of iron IV players eye twitch dude be careful

Bavaria, Saxony, Berlin Chechnya, Moscow, Kaliningrad Sicily, Liguria, Tuscany Can’t name any from Czechia though

Good enough

Moscow, Kamchatka, Dagestan, adygea, Murmansk, and karelia I can name off the top of my head + a bunch of cities for Russia as well. But I agree with you that if this post was unironic then it would be quite a dumb sentiment. Some Americans can’t ever name the two countries to our north and south

I....I know Chernyhiv....Kiev is the capital of Ukraine...uhhh

bro wants ukraine to be russia

I can because I play hoi4 😎

Germany: Mecklinburg (probably spelled wrong), Brandonburg, Bavaria Italy: Lazio, Campania, Puglia, Sicilia, Sardegna, Toscana, Veneto, Lombardia, Emilia Romagna, Umbria, Piemonte, Trento I don't know the rest

In Spanish Germany: Renania del Norte-Westfalia, Baviera and Baja Sajonia Italy: Véneto, Lombardía and Emilia Romaña Russia: Moscú, Nóvgorod and Múrmansk Czech republic: Praga and yeah that’s it

🇩🇪: Niedersachsen, Schleswig-Holstein, Baden-Württemberg, Thüringen, Nordrhein-Westfahlen, Bayern, Sachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt, Saarland, Bremen, Hamburg, Berlin, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Hessen, Brandenburg, Rheinland-Pfalz

USA California, Texas, Florida, New York, Oregon, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Maine, North Dakota, South Dakota, Idaho, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Kentucky, Kansas, Pennsylvania, New Jersey. Canada Quebec, Newfoundland, Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Nunavut. How did I go

Now check the map

Yeah ik the map there is stupid with loads of made up states

Europeans saying there's multiple made up states instead of admitting they're wrong

Look me dead in the eye and tell me « fallwe », « golfster » and « sicktongue » are real states

I lived in Nonconformia for a few years.. Nice place

i was born there but my parents moved to gibber when i was 2 so i don't remember anything they always said it was a nice place but too expensive for them

I literally live in sicktounge you insensitive european

I'm fucking dying over here.

You got something to say about Golfster, bro?! GSU FOR LIFE WOOF WOOF

Yeah??? Like don’t disrespect American life, dude

are u saying there is a state called mcdonald

Where do you think McDonald’s got it’s name??? It was originally McDonald’s Hometown Burger before they expanded, the name became redundant so they just shortened it to McDonald’s

Off the top of my head, cascadia is def not a state but a region

Biblically accurate usa and canada

I just love that they managed to include all the real ones too, while still maintaining the shape of the larger country

Name all 16 german states

Mallorca, Alabama 2.0, theLand, Ostdeutschland, MeckPom, Königreich Bayern, Elsass Lothringen, Nordrhein-Westfalen(😢), Frankfurt am Main, Rausland Pfalz, Schleswig-Hol(mir ein runter)stein, West-Berlin, KleinaberganzvieleMenschenlebendaunddaistsoeingroßerHafenunddawohntTrymacs (Moin Leute Trymacs hier)Land, Niedersachsen❤️ Easy😎

Autistic people not getting the joke for $1000

I am not American but I am autistic: Saxony, Brandenburg, Berlin, Lower Saxony, Bremen, Hannover, Saarland, Baden-Wüttemburg, Bavaria, Thüringen, Rhine Westphalia. Not all 16 but the ones I could remember

Why is Michigan split into two different colors Edit: I just realized all the extra states. I'm stupid.

r/usernamedoesnotcheckout

You see idiot, I dont have to know about your shitty states, becuase they are STATES not countries

Lmao the post is a joke bro Half those states aren’t real. Like ur right, but you got so worked up over this post l

This is a map with provinces thats why this post is so weird

Yeah apparently when we lump together Canada’s provinces with our states it confuses the average European lol

Can you point to Kosovo on a map?

Yeah it's inbetween Serbia,Montenegro and North Macedonia. If you want a hard one try point out Tajikistan.

Try to point out Nauru, that one almost impossible

[удалено]

I know (am European too lol) I was saying this in a context of "Here's a map with country borders and no names, point to the said country"

Northwest south pacific give me a harder one

Call me a nerd, but Nauru along with Fiji are the most recognizable pacific countries to me thanks to them being a central main island.

Yes? Alot of people can, its literally got the shape of its country in the flag

Who can’t?

They’re bigger than most of Europe’s countries lmao

And have a higher GDP

Bro got rejected by a American or sum

you can name 50 states and don’t know where they are at I can name all the 194 countries and tell you exactly where they are at I CAN also name all the 50 states plus the 23 states of my country

I wish I was as autistic as you

Bravo... Made my morning

I can do that (except the 23 states thing) but also name all US state flags and all country flags, I can also name every UK house of commons constituency, I give you the ideology of any political party currently holding office in a country in the EU, and I can name most forces currently at war by their acronym.

And them there's me, who barely remembers what i ate for breakfast

I can remeber that, its NOTHING everyday

Based

Personally I think we should stop generalizing the two groups and realize that there are people in both areas with equally varying levels of geographic education But that's not "funny", is it?

Who tf fattened the US up...I thought we were on a damn diet.

[удалено]

Yes, it is literally a joke. 90% of the states and provinces in this picture don’t even exist.

I'm actually impressed though, cuz I *think* that weirdness next to Oregon and California is what those weird ass conservatives in southern Oregon and northern California want. Plus, the shapes of the actual states are still the same I think, just smaller.

Buddy did you read the map

It gets worse each year

Europeans try to detect joke challenge(impossible)

r/woosh

I suddenly live in Calabama edit: wait nevermind still Aberta

WHAT HAPPENED TO CANADA😭

Why is Wisconsin so small it deserves to be larger

[удалено]

😭

Fuck you

New York, Washington, Wyoming, Ohio💀,California( I actually didn’t look at map)

the map is not even correct u can't look at it 😭

Eh they might get lucky and pick a correct one

okay, name all the swiss cantons

Bonus point for half-cantons.

Uhh... Jeff, Gary, Alan, um, George How'd I do?

You did as well as one would expect from a Florida Man.

I mean - Sure Buddy. We can Take this on Federal States Level. I will start to learn the American States, as Soon as you Not only know the countries in Europe, but also the different States of belgium, austria, Switzerland and Germany.

As an european, I know most of them.

This map feels like being gaslit lmao what is happening to my brain

Yeah I think that's the joke, like the map is absolutely stroke inducing for me, an American who had to repeat all 50 states and their location, my 4th grade year every monday. The teacher would literally make us take a test every Monday morning that was an empty map. Had it down by the 5th week. NE was honestly the more difficult part.

I can name all of them. Seterra my beloved...

Ahhh yes. I love Seterra too

Can you name the German Bundesländer?

We are talking about countries, not states. Nobody needs to know the states of your country.

this is satire

It's not hard to memorize both. I know all ~196 countries, all 50 US states, some of the German states, all the Canadian provinces, and most of the Australian states. Also, each state in the US is pretty much it's own country most of the time. They are more autonomous than most Europeans realize. So, they are almost equivalent to all the European countries.

since when were we talking abt that. is that the title or..?

Wtf nova Scotia is a Canadian thing-a-ma-jig.

naming them is easy, knowing where they are however...

The amount of people falling for the bait is astounding

The amount of people who don’t get the blatant satire is crazy 💀 look at the map

Lebanese, born and raised in Dubai. I can name a good amount. Alaska, alabama, california, new mexico, new york, michigan, indiana, illinois, north and south dokota, kentucky, lousiana, arizona ohio texas florida texas nebraska wyoming kansas maine rhode island, and thats just off the top of my head

For a second I actually thought Canada had a state named "Eric" lmaoooo

Europeans, in their rush to dunk on le stupid american, reveal they cannot read maps.

You’re making the Euros mald lmaooo🦅🇺🇸🏈

Europeans accuse Americans of thinking the world revolves around us when Europeans are guilty of that very thing.

Are people not understanding that this is a joke lol

They are not understanding, at all. Some haven’t bothered to look at the map. Let’s not tell them. Lol!

German here. I will try to name all of the states of the US. I know their location on a map and I can pin them without the map having borders. I can place all the flags correctly. Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Maine, Montana, Wyoming, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, Idaho, North Dakota, South Dakota, Illanois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Arkansas, Indiana, Ohio, Kansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Hawaii, Alaska, Washington DC if you want to count it. I trained for this day, I spent HOURS training on [geoguesser :3](https://www.geoguessr.com/de/vgp/3003) just so I could prove an american wrong on reddit.

1) I could 2) It's not comparable, you cannot put knowing other COUNTRIES to knowing states in one clountry in my opinion. No one is asking you to name all the regions of France or China for example.

If you read the comments, they are asking. And i have delivered the goods

First of all, I can name like 15 right away. Second of all, we're making fun of y'all because there are Americans that can't even point out America in a map. Third of all, knowing states is not the same as knowing countries, I bet most Americans wouldn't know 10 foreign cities.

Fourth of all, it’s a joke post, look at the map

Your view of Americans being geographically challenged I imagine comes from those street interviews where they ask Americans to point to a country on a map and they get it comedically wrong, if not I can’t imagine where you’d get the idea from other than just parroting what everyone else around you has said, which I doubt is the case. Those videos are incredibly misleading, they go around a largely populated downtown area interviewing over a hundred people over the course of a few hours and then clip the four or five wackiest responses. You could do the same thing in any other big city in any country in the world and the only factor that would change what responses you get would be the average income of the area. Perception is everything, you can find stupid people everywhere in the world, it’s bad to generalize a whole country because of their loud minority population of idiots.

The more I look at it, the more confused I am.

Lmao that tiktok of the states song will forever be in my head and I'm Australian. Alabama and Alaska, arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut and more, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho Illinois, Indiana, Iowa 35 to go. Kansas and Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts and good old Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and New York and that's all I can remember

States aren’t countries, but ig New York, New Jersey, New Mexico, Texas, Alabama, Ohio, Nevada, Tennessee, Mississipi, California, Georgia, Delaware, Michigan, Washington, Maryland, Hawaii, Alaska, West Virginia, Virginia, North Dakota, South Dakota, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Indiana

Ah yes, my fav us state, gibber :>

There is a big difference between knowing countries or states. Name all the provinces of the Netherlands?

Thank you OP for posting bait so good, you hooked all the europeans

r/lostredditors and r/mapporncirclejerk

I give you: Super America

Where's Wakko when you need him..

15 year old American getting teens older than them riled up, amazing

Jakarta, Mexico City, Boston, Caledonia and Trelawny are five US states bro this is too easy
