That deep south phrase "Bless your heart" can have so many meanings. Genuine and friendly in some cases, but can also be a substitute for "Wow you're a complete idiot, aren't you." right to someone's face.

[@simmerra]

Oregon is the best as far as I am concerned. We have pretty much every biome in driving distance. Mountains for skiing (lots of camping), gorgeous forests, spots of rainforest, beautiful beaches, deserts and dunes that are incredible, like the painted hills that look unreal.

[@channelthree9424]

Valley girl is very early 80s. The only time I have ever heard anyone talk about a valley girl was on movies or television. Never in real life. So these people who think Californians talk like Valley girls are 40 years behind the times. By the way the valley is referring to the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles County so that type of talking was not statewide. You probably wouldn’t hear people from San Francisco talking like that.

[@stevengomez1284]

So true that they are behind by 50 years 😂. California is so diverse can't really be sum up to 1 stereotype.

[@janfitzgerald3615]

I’m in Washington State, we’re the apple growers, also sweet cherries. Oregon grows Pinot Noir grapes which become awesome wine, both states have a lot of agriculture east of the Cascade mountains. Up here people would probably think of coffee (home of Starbucks), Amazon and Microsoft, tech in general, huge national parks boating and sports teams.

[@channelthree9424]

You are very correct. I watch a lot of Movie reaction channels and there are some reactors who would watch a movie from the 1980s and think that is the way life was without realizing movies are exaggerations of real life. They watched back to the future which was filmed on a movie set and they thought the streets were clean and pristine back in the 80s. From watching old 60s clippings from the beach, they think you go to any beach community in California and it’s going to be a party.

[@Mike_H76]

And, sadly people also consider many states by a small group of folks within a major city. Long Island here and if I tell anyone I'm from NY, I always say NOT THE CITY... or they assume that I don't have potato fields literally surrounding me right now and I do! Vineyards too in the past 20 years, since potatoes are worth less than the dirt they're grown in. That's the town I'm in now, where I grew up was well known for it's abundance of duck farms... you never get used to that smell!

As a Californian I'm gonna say this before the start: most ppl I talk to in California's big cities (LA, SF, OK, Emeryville, Berkley, Davis, etc.) think everywhere that's not on the west of north east coast is racist. They also think that the rest of the country owes them for their economy (which is shrinking now), & everywhere is basically unliveable, like a second or third world country if it's not New York or New Jersey Outside those areas most ppl are chill

[@ullebor]

As someone that's lived all over the country and lastly in California. California has the largest economy in the country followed by Texas. California also has the best of everything in one state (beach/ocean, mountains, tons of state/national parks, desert, large cities and small farm towns), not to mention they grow the majority of produce for the country. I've lived in the South and the bible belt, I've never met such bigoted hostility towards others in California or the PNW by comparison.

Hey @L3WG Reacts! Love your vids, bro! New Jersey anthropologist here, New Jersey actually has seven distinct accents (southwest, northwest, shore, northeast, cape may, pine barrens, central mid-atlantic neutral), but if you’re not familiar with them, they’re difficult to pick up on, aside for maybe the pine barrens accent or possibly the shore accent, which is closer to a New York accent. The northeast accent is extremely close to a Manhattan accent, due to the proximity to NY, so that would be easier to pick up on. Southeastern accent sounds like the Philadelphian accent. Pine Barrens accent is close to a Southern US accent. Northwestern accent sounds like northeastern Pennsylvania (Wilkes-Barre or Allentown). Central accent is more like a generic mid Atlantic accent. Finally, Cape May accent sounds Delawarian, due to the proximity to Delaware. Hope that helps! Keep up the vids, bro! They're so much fun to watch!😎🤘

[@fuckeduphippie]

12:30 I live on the Idaho/Utah border. I’m quite familiar with Mormons. Mormon is a term used to describe followers of The Book of Mormon, a religious text “discovered” or written/translated in New York in the 1820’s. The largest and most recognized denomination of Mormons, are the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, or just LDS, who led historic handcart companies across the country to settle in the Great Basin Region to flee religious persecutions they were experiencing back East. They settled along the Wasatch Range, the western extent of the Rocky Mountains that runs along the eastern coast of the Great Salt Lake, and attempted to establish the Theocratic State of Deseret. The US government very much opposed these ambitions. The most recognizable trait of Mormons, was the practice of polygamy, from the church’s founding up until 1890, when the US Government threatened to revoke the women pioneers right to vote, which helped Mormons maintain majority in local elections, and seize their religious buildings, including their temple in the Mormon capital, Salt Lake City. The church terminated the practice of polygamy and in return, the US approved statehood for Utah in 1896.

[@courtneyraymer6586]

Considering the colorful history, you’ve given a fairly concise accurate account. I just thought I’d fill in some names. Joseph Smith was the originator in New York. He and the first Mormons were driven from there and settled in Nauvoo, Illinois located on the Mississippi River. They weren’t welcome there either and Smith was first arrested and then killed by a lynch mob. This was when Brigham Young took over and led them to Utah.There is a story that they had to wait for the Mississippi to freeze over enough to get their wagons and themselves across to begin their journey. Not surprisingly, every river town between Nauvoo and St. Louis claims to be the one where they crossed. Maybe the truth is recorded somewhere, but everyone in that section of the river wants to be a part of history.

She said I walked too far and actually walked me back up the street. Another hour earlier that day I got a hotdog from a local vendor. He asked me where I was from. ‘New México.’ I told him. ‘That hotdog is on me!’ He said. Apparently I looked very happy because he said no one smiles at him or makes small talk.

The difference is that Florida has open access to public records and the news outlets tend to have fun with that information.

California is unique in that it has two languages, surf talk and valley speak! Also it's similar to a bowl of cereal in that the ones that aren't fruits and nuts are flakes!😂

I'm from Iowa and lived in NYC. People would yell at you if you're doing something stupid, like walking in front of oncoming traffic. But it's not threatening. They're very direct. They've seen everything in that town, so nothing phases them. People there are also very nice. I did notice that people within NYC had different accents. My friend from Queens had a slightly different accent from my neighborhoods in Bensonhurst Brooklyn.

[@KRich408]

South Carolina pedestrians cross the street like their life depends on it. Because it does it's only a minor traffic offence to run over a crosser if you're sober. Look it up 😮😮

[@KentuckyLadyLiberty]

I was very surprised no one mentioned Low Country food. That area along the islands of southern South Carolina through say Savannah, Georgia has some absolutely fabulous food. The seafood is to die for, and where else can you get a deep fried peach wrapped in pie crust and cinnamon?

[@killrade4434]

I am surpised by that too. Not to mention its the birth place of BBQ. Not going to lie I do love our gold mustard based BBQ but NC and Tennessee are really good too. Texas has good smoked meat but their sauce is literally texas Pete... which is made in north carolina. Drops mic.

[@karenedwards6713]

Gulla Guchee food is to die for!! How can you talk southern food and not talk about our bar b que or BBQ. We have pork BBQ or chicken, not beef( cause it's hard to find brisket). Parts of the South is prejudice but it's only in certain areas. Lately I've noticed more black on white prejudice. These younger people are crazy. They have been taught that EVERY problem in their life is because of a white person. I has a crazy black girl just yell at me because I'm white. After her rant I asked her why or how it was my fault she spread her legs repeatedly and had kids by men she couldn't remember or know their names. How did I cause her to have a man that beat her and put her on the curve while he sat in front of the project they lived at and played dominions while her kids in only a drooping full diaper toting a empty milk bottle at 4,3, 2 and toddler age. How did I make her shoot shit in her arm or put stuff up her nose. She just said it was all white people fault. The saddest thing is she really believes this. I know she is just one person and not a great example of her race, but this is being seen more and more. Black people are amazed that they are racist also. Don't get me wrong we also have tons of wonderful non racist people of any color that would be glad to meet you and feed you. We love to feed people in the South. My 6 foot 2 inch 225 lbs son will meet people and they act like he must of been starved as a child cause he needs to eat. Being the well mannered young man thar he is he will graciously accept the food and either eat it there or bring it home. You never go to a older southern lady's home and not accept the food she offers you cause it will hurt her feelings. Yes if you come here you will gain some weight. If they call you wormy they just mean you haven't been eating good in their eyes.

So, I'm from New York State (near Canada) and I just visited New York City last month. I rode the subway a total of maybe six times, and yes, I saw a rat one of those times. It was just ambling along the platform with everyone else. I'll just add though that the customer service in NYC was SO POLITE and honestly I was shocked. So much nicer there than it was say in the 1990s.

I've lived all over, the south isn't really racist, it's worse in the north but they hide it up there. It's a lot worse in the UK. Only people that think the south is racist are northerners and politician trying to pander for votes (Nikki Haley). Funny, they actually interviewed people from her hometown she claimed was extremely racist. Every single one, even the minorities said they've never experienced racism there and everyone is extremely kind. The got some people who went to school with her and they all said she's lying. It's just a stereotype that isn't true

As a Missourian, I was going to include my state in the mix, but aside from KC BBQ, T-Ravs, and Gooey Butter Cake, nothing about Missouri seems "friendly" because we have two of the most dangerous cities in the country (KC and STL), and the people are set in their ways here.

Every Region has its specialty of course, But with the multiple ethnicities with huge populations who contribute to the varieties of cuisine and fresh food readily available, California has almost no limit for amazing food options. The top 3 Korean Chefs all moved to LA to work on fusion menus + Mexican Food in Southern Cali is as good as it gets! + Award winning Wine Region Napa & Paso Robles/ Fine Dining Cuisine in Northern Cali with most of the food grown in the state + We have In-n-Out!

[@Curtis-u6h]

Florida has different laws on reporting crimes, hence the better publicity

[@maxcandlestick8027]

Yeah, the “Sunshine” laws make basically every government document public unless there’s a specific, compelling reason to keep it secret. If you commit a weird crime in other places, they might make your name public, but in Florida, it’s name, mugshot, ultimately even the evidence against you released. So the national crime beat tends to focus on Florida, because they’re getting interrogation videos handed to them instead of filing written requests to get a copy of the mugshot.

[@leetroy3129]

@WonderMonkey-xp3xkI couldn’t agree more. FL is a police state. They can stop and ask you your name and s s # and run it even if you’re just standing somewhere minding your own business. They don’t do that where I come from. Without probable cause it’s called harassment.

[@Sin_Alder]

​@WonderMonkey-xp3xk How is it an abuse of human rights? What, you prefer the government disappearing people and not having to provide evidence of what happened? You don't have a human right to have the crimes you've comitted hidden from those around you. The only people that advocate for such things are other people with criminal intent.

@@jenniferskorczewski3573The peaches aren't worth stopping for unless they're in season (June-August). If you get them in the summer, they will be the juiciest and sweetest peaches you've ever had. Get them out of season and they're usually pretty hard and lack flavor. Also if you want the best peaches, it's worth the trip to South Carolina. South Carolina hosts the peach festival and produces almost 3x as many peaches as Georgia, second only to California. In my opinion, Georgia is only the peach state by name, South Carolina is lowkey the true peach state.
