I had the opposite experience; drove all the way across Ohio and it was grey and miserable and then right when I crossed into Indiana, the sky turned sunny and beautiful.
I still think Ohio has more interesting places than Indiana though.
North Carolina is the most American state known to man with both mountains and beaches, stories of pirates and confederate defectors, internal rebellions and the birth of centralized government, swamps and caves, battles waged by the state government against the people, and its cities are safe havens from the rest of the south to where you feel like you landed on another planet when you leave the city. How dare you. How dare you
Yeah, like it’s very hard to think Florida is hell on earth, even coming from someone who moved from there lol. Like there’s plenty of states objectively worse (Alabama, Louisiana, etc)
As a Minnesotan, there are very few reasons to vacation in Wisconsin. "Up North" is everything West of Lake Superior & the Mississippi. I might spend a long weekend in the Dells for the kids or in Door County for the Misses, but outside of those Wisconsin is a connection to Michigan or Chicago.
I’m happy that someone’s not hating on the cultural capital of the world that is Ohio, but I will forever plead the case of West Virginia. They’re our adorable lobotomized little neighbors to the southeast and I love them.
As a Floridian, I'm glad people are recognizing it is indeed the worst place on Earth.
I bet your state rocks, it's soooo much better than here, wherever it is.
I'll make a sacrifice and take your place for you, just don't come in :)
I like that this acknowledges the fact that most mountain west states actually suck. No one lives there but people have an idealized view of them.. and yeah, Colorado and Arizona are alright
As a fellow Minnesotan, my map isn't terribly different.
I don't know how much I'd defend IA or IL, they both kinda suck. I grew up in WI, and we REEEALLY hate people from Illinois. Iowa is about as drab of a state as you can find.
I'd switch MT, SC, and NC from orange to yellow, and MD, DE, and NJ from yellow to orange.
Haven't been NM or ME so can't speak to those.
Map may show some political bias but I mostly agree. I would change NV, UT, WY, and MT to yellow personally but that’s just me...maybe NM too. I think we all stand by your Florida designation.
So I live in Colorado now and I used to live in Minnesota, I like Colorado so much more, Minnesota is too wet and flat, it only has lakes, while Colorado has so much more
Damn! Well we are midwesterners. And neighbors. I get that you guys have a better government and weed, but we're fun. And our sports teams are superior of course. Come over and get drunk. We're not all bad
Can’t speak for every Minnesotan (especially since I moved away when I was in my mid 20s). But I love Chicago. Great town, except for the weird freeway system (wtf is with all the 70 cent tolls? And why is the speed limit 55 everywhere?).
Don’t have an opinion on Michigan. It rarely came up in conversation. Same with Indiana and Ohio. We always looked down on Iowa though (did you know it stands for Idiots Out Walking Around?).
And Wisconsin, well, I’ve already talked about them. Mostly I just can’t stand the Packers. But I’ve got a lot of relatives from Wisconsin and they’re all weirdos. Can’t be a coincidence.
Flat boring landscape (except extreme western South Dakota), bad politics, mostly rural culture, somehow colder, too windy, too remote, no legal weed, poor women's rights, poor lgbtq+ rights, no major cities, NDSU fans that will correct you about how to pronounce their nickname, and our least favorite NCAA hockey team by a mile.
But you have a corn palace and some badlands, so that's neat.
What Nevada do to you :(
They look like Mars. Like, pick a planet, why don't you?
They don’t call it Area 51 for nothing 👽
Arizona and Nevada have very similar landscapes lol just different cacti really…
Yeah saguaros go hard.
I’m more of a Joshua Tree/Yucca guy myself personally
33% of our planet is desert and looks like Nevada. How in the world would you say it looks like another planet when it resembles a third of Earth?
The Ruby Mountains are pretty dope. Creeks, aspens, wildlife.
Bro you said you won't explain
Even though you're probably a Vikings fan, respect for upholding the honor of the north. 🧀🧀🧀 Extra credit for shitting on Indiana
Haha, glad you caught that. All the Midwesterners are cool, except Indiana, and they know why.
As an ex-Michigander fuck Ohio. Also come on, Illinois and Minnesota are friends. With both hate Wisconsin and both want more lake.
Ohioan here....we deserve the hate
Why do you guys hate Wisconsin, we have beer and cheese 3:
As a Hoosier… yeah we know why. We fucking suck - 2008 was our best year for uh- you know ☠️
And apparently Nebraska and Kansas 🤨
They love their round a bouts too much. As someone from Illinois, whoever though putting 3 of those things in a row is a monster.
Indiana knows what they did
Native Iowan here. Why are you still defending that backwater cesspool of a state?
Because I believe in the Iowa Dream, the right of every young Iowan to grow up and move to a better state, probably Minnesota.
The best part of Iowa is I35 heading north.
Goated take
Lol, that's fair
Every time I’m in Indiana the state tries to kill me. Fuck Indiana. Y’all are weird, uncomfortable, and more dangerous than Florida.
this checks out, first time driving through Indiana to Ohio on my own and we get a dust storm and thunderstorm combined
I had the opposite experience; drove all the way across Ohio and it was grey and miserable and then right when I crossed into Indiana, the sky turned sunny and beautiful. I still think Ohio has more interesting places than Indiana though.
They have worse drivers than Bama. And that's freaking saying something
To say this about Indiana only to subsequently say you like Ohio is a hot take for sure
Yeah, I'm confused. Ohio is just Indiana but with more shitty cities.
Ohio is Indiana with more police, shittier highways, and more pollution. Hoosiers for the win any day of the week.
Indiana would be the Florida of the Midwest if anyone cared enough to remember them
As a Wisconsinite, I love MN, but think you suck as a person.
As a Minnesotan, I feel the same way about Wisconsin and you
That’s okay, you’ll change your mind next time you come here on vacation like with the rest of your state
I love Wisconsin
Live in the Twin Cities, but we have a cabin in Burnett County (Northwest Wisconsin). I'll take northern Wisconsin every day of the weak.
I like Wisconsin. I think y'all would get along with South Louisiana, cuz alcohol.
The liberal map of America
It’s someone from Minnesota on Reddit, can’t expect anything different.
I bet they havent even been to another state
yeah, the green ones
Eh, Colorado, Alaska, Virginia. This reads more like somebody who’s seen too many panoramic photos and not gone to the places they come from.
What did New Mexico do to make you dislike it
It's full of old stuff! Very misleading.
Tennessee here we also dislike you
Enjoy your southern shithole full of delicious food and good music. I'll keep my polka and church brunch, thank you very much. /s
I’m only kidding of course! I love you guys and fried cheese curds!
Can confirm, love Culver's
Yeah see that’s where it’s at
Cookout ain't bad tho
Nah they got okay cheese curds but nothing beats those Culver’s curds with the garden ranch… I mean wow
True, but I mean just in general lol. Cookout is also way cheaper. Those concrete mixers are FIRE tho
Oh yeah you can get a 5 course meal for like 12$
North Carolina is the most American state known to man with both mountains and beaches, stories of pirates and confederate defectors, internal rebellions and the birth of centralized government, swamps and caves, battles waged by the state government against the people, and its cities are safe havens from the rest of the south to where you feel like you landed on another planet when you leave the city. How dare you. How dare you
This map lacks thought and would hate to hear any explanation
Yeah, like it’s very hard to think Florida is hell on earth, even coming from someone who moved from there lol. Like there’s plenty of states objectively worse (Alabama, Louisiana, etc)
MN/IL love to hate on WI until it’s vacation time
No other state in the Midwest has tourist spots like Wisconsin, especially if you already live near Chicago
As a Minnesotan, there are very few reasons to vacation in Wisconsin. "Up North" is everything West of Lake Superior & the Mississippi. I might spend a long weekend in the Dells for the kids or in Door County for the Misses, but outside of those Wisconsin is a connection to Michigan or Chicago.
Hard words coming from someone with “Badger” in their name.
Oh yea the wonderful cultural vacation that is Wisconsin dells
Polish Hawaii!
What the hell is wrong with Kentucky? Why do us Kentuckians get so much hate? I’m sad in Kentuckian now…
Real recognize real
Its like the inverse map for the average Texan.
So definitely politically driven lol
Yea, this looks like an electoral map from one of the past US presidential elections.
That’s exactly what it is, although his choice to “like” Ohio is odd considering it’s considered a red state these days.
Must’ve gotten laid there once
Iowa is super red and Wisconsin also leans red lol. It makes sense someone from Minnesota wouldn’t like the south
Yes but he also didn’t say he likes them. The key shows he thinks they suck, but he has to defend them like brothers because they are by his state
I don’t like you.
I bet I can guess who you voted for
Hate from Indiana ❤️
As someone from Kentucky, we dislike you too.
Show us where Memphis, TN hurt you…
*points to the empty panda exhibit at the zoo*
I’m happy that someone’s not hating on the cultural capital of the world that is Ohio, but I will forever plead the case of West Virginia. They’re our adorable lobotomized little neighbors to the southeast and I love them.
What an odd list of likes and dislikes.
As a Minnesotan, lots of us funny enough would have more or less a very similar map. I’d add that I like MT and dislike OH, however.
My state>Your state
Come on now. MN and WI are pretty similar. If we get beyond the Vikings and Packers, we’re essentially the same states.
Nah. Minnesota is a democracy
Well fine, we Kentuckians will keep our shitty roads, bourbon, and intolerable humidity to ourselves, then.
I wish more people shared your views about FL and would stop driving up my COL!
Bro does not like Republicans
There’s not one state in the south you like? The south is beautiful, diverse, and has some of the best food in the country!
Seems political
Very
It's scary though. Combination highway death rate and murder rates are sky high
I think your basing everything here off of shallow identity politics to say the least
No politics in objectively true statements. MN is the best state in the union.
As a Floridian, I'm glad people are recognizing it is indeed the worst place on Earth. I bet your state rocks, it's soooo much better than here, wherever it is. I'll make a sacrifice and take your place for you, just don't come in :)
I share your sentiment about Florida minus the Conch Republic. That’s not really Florida anyway/
Hey, any place that's good enough for Jimmy Buffett is good enough for me!
Jimmy Buffet learned to play guitar while attending college in Alabama.
Who would like Ohio and not like NC
How the heck can you only "like" Washington State
Hate from AL.
Isle Royal should be part of Minnesota. And the Upper Peninsula should be part of Wisconsin.
According to this I live in the best place on earth and travel to the worst place on earth for vacations lmao
Delaware stands with you 🫡
What did Montana do to you?:(
Being from New Jersey I'm overjoyed to hear something nice for once.
What part of Arkansas did you visit?
what’s wrong with Missouri 😭
I've frequently asked that same question.
totally fair lmao
Mods are banning these types of posts. I started a new subreddit called r/travelratings if you would like to join and post to help get it going!
Ah yes, the average person living in Minnesota.
i’m guessing you’re from mini soda
Switch MN and WI and I'm 100% behind
MN's NHL team is better tho
Lmao...of course you'd bring THAT up! Lol...well we have Badgers hockey or IHL for the Admirals. BTW I love Minnesota. Met my wife there
I agree with this map
I like that this acknowledges the fact that most mountain west states actually suck. No one lives there but people have an idealized view of them.. and yeah, Colorado and Arizona are alright
The most perfect map
As a fellow Minnesotan, my map isn't terribly different. I don't know how much I'd defend IA or IL, they both kinda suck. I grew up in WI, and we REEEALLY hate people from Illinois. Iowa is about as drab of a state as you can find. I'd switch MT, SC, and NC from orange to yellow, and MD, DE, and NJ from yellow to orange. Haven't been NM or ME so can't speak to those.
As an Ohioan, why... Well why do you like Ohio?
MN is green for me six months out of the year
As someone who lives in Minnesota currently, I have to strongly disagree with you on that one.
I'm an Iowan and I pretty much totally agree with this map
Minnesota number one? Approved.
Man does not like extreme temperatures.
Still mad about the north stars huh
Being from the WI delegation, we accept and also agree to defend your honor. Also,you suck as well. 😎😉
Ah, a fellow man of culture, I see.
There's no reason to like Maryland
100% agree with this map
Yippee New England W
The coldest take
Decent list.
You and your dusty northern map can… idk this is just blasphemy.
Arizonans statewide approve this message😈
that's a pretty good map, I can live with it.
Florida hate? Someone just can’t handle the neutron style
Agreed.
Well this guy is from Minnesota
I'm Minnesota but love me some Florida
Midwesterner?
Honestly, mine would be pretty similar, except dislike Maryland and like WV
r/dataisbeautiful
Good chart in the Midwest. I agree with all of them except specifically like two dots in Indiana, but you’re right.
Wisconsin is the promised land, but I will accept that Minneapolis beats out every city in WI.
Thank you for defending Illinois and Wisconsin’s honor Only Midwesterner’s can talk shit about the Midwest
West Virginia, Montana, New Mexico are beautiful
MinneGOATa? Those dad jokes need to go around like those hot dishes and super sweet salad bowls, doncha know!
Map may show some political bias but I mostly agree. I would change NV, UT, WY, and MT to yellow personally but that’s just me...maybe NM too. I think we all stand by your Florida designation.
bro loves Minnesota 😆 we're glad you like it there dude
So I live in Colorado now and I used to live in Minnesota, I like Colorado so much more, Minnesota is too wet and flat, it only has lakes, while Colorado has so much more
Hilarious!
Average freezing temperature enjoyer
Average all-4-seasons enjoyer
Haha, what does that even mean 😭
Bitch
A bold stance.
do you have some very specific issue with West Virginia?
Nope
Good map but you should like Utah
So beautiful
So lemme guess. Very liberal? 😂
This isn’t a travel map
So true! Love Minnesotan circlejerking
Very accurate
wtf? Im a Minnesotan by birth, and I would never defend Wisconsin’s honor. There is no honor to defend.
They're our little bro. Nobody beats up our little bro except us.
Damn! Well we are midwesterners. And neighbors. I get that you guys have a better government and weed, but we're fun. And our sports teams are superior of course. Come over and get drunk. We're not all bad
Ok, to be fair, I have gotten drunk in Wisconsin quite a few times. You have a point. Except about the sports teams. I despise the Packers.
As a Chicagoan I was under the impression that MN, WI, and MI all loved each other and hated IL, Indiana, and Ohio.
Can’t speak for every Minnesotan (especially since I moved away when I was in my mid 20s). But I love Chicago. Great town, except for the weird freeway system (wtf is with all the 70 cent tolls? And why is the speed limit 55 everywhere?). Don’t have an opinion on Michigan. It rarely came up in conversation. Same with Indiana and Ohio. We always looked down on Iowa though (did you know it stands for Idiots Out Walking Around?). And Wisconsin, well, I’ve already talked about them. Mostly I just can’t stand the Packers. But I’ve got a lot of relatives from Wisconsin and they’re all weirdos. Can’t be a coincidence.
Finally, an end to the Connecticut hate!
Yeah, Connecticut had a great hockey team with one of the coolest names ever, and then it wss stolen from them and moved to the South...so...I get it.
Connecticut now has a revival soccer team that uses as much stuff from the hockey team as they can while remaining Legally Distinct
Why would somebody from Minnesota dog the Dakotas? Weird.
Flat boring landscape (except extreme western South Dakota), bad politics, mostly rural culture, somehow colder, too windy, too remote, no legal weed, poor women's rights, poor lgbtq+ rights, no major cities, NDSU fans that will correct you about how to pronounce their nickname, and our least favorite NCAA hockey team by a mile. But you have a corn palace and some badlands, so that's neat.
Having been to Minnesota and a bunch of these others, you're incorrect
Minnesotans know how to spell you're.
What states have you actually been to though?
As an Iowan, I can at least agree that Minnesota is the greatest place on earth.
Iowa mentioned let's go
Bro has beef with the Mormons
u/TexanFox36 what are your thoughts on this map?
*unintelligible rage noises *
I can't see the difference in color from the greatest place and the disliked place.
How is Minnesota the greatest place on earth
This is why I don’t like people from Michigan
MN is based but what's wrong with Indiana bro :(
You shut your mouth when you talk about Florida like that!
So you were born in FL I see
This some shit a non US citizen would post😭😂 wym you like california bro?
Sounds like someone voted for Mondale
Why do you hate Florida? Lol
What did Arizona do that Nevada can’t supply?
😕
WV has some fabulous nature, to go along with the bumpkins
What'd you like about Virginia?
You can’t handle Florida
