Most of the middle part of the United States is a land of extremes. Temperate is simply non-existent here. In the winter it is consistently freezing cold, ungodly windy, with snowfall or ice in measurable quantities near daily. Then in the summer it often becomes so hot and humid that many people find trouble breathing. At least in my region we regularly see 85 degree days with humidity totals in the same region, and it rains in the summer basically as much as it snows in the winter which is to say a lot. In the Great Lakes region where I am from, most of the cities were rebuilt in reclaimed swampland, so you can imagine just how oppressive the heat, humidity, bugs, and thunderstorms are.

Wow. So someone comes up to greet you and be civil and then you tell them they "really aren't nice." Wow. That is beyond rude. Where the h*** are you from? Is everyone so off-putting where you're from? When I camp at a campground I make it a point to take a walk and stop and say "hi" to strangers. It's part of travelling and usually very pleasant. Maybe these midwesterners just haven't got into the habit of being scared of their neighbors. Btw, if someone just out of the blue (that I was being pleasant with) said I wasn't nice after a few minute contact, I'm pretty sure I would have just pretended to agree and walked away. Maybe you should remote camp and stay away from people. Also, flyfishing very much screams SNOB to someone who fishes to eat. It's all fun and cute, but it's not how a man efficiently gets groceries.

They may be polite and appear to be somewhat naive due to their good natured demeanor, but Minnesotans will bury you and your children in the back forty acres if sufficiently provoked. True story.

The part at the end just makes me think of how we’re being manipulated into not speaking our true opinions, because if you do you get canceled. We are headed towards a violent society.

All time Classic

Maybe in the past, sure. Now it's Somolia.

I never liked how in some scenes they have their hoods up when you can see the temp is barely below or above freezing. Like the guy who is shoveling slush off his driveway.

It’s also EXCEEDINGLY passive aggressive

[@ViktoriousDead]

Southerners are like midwesterners we’re just suspicious of people who don’t sound like us

[@BumMilkSandwhich]

Basically Canada lol

My favorite movie of all time. If you’ve never seen it do yourself a favor and check it out.

The quintessential Minnesotan for me is Grace from Ferris Bueller, perfectly polite until she isn't

[@lizangel72]

makes total sense

[@XenilSense]

As someone from Minnesota, absolutely NOBODY here has a Canadian sounding accent like this lmfao

[@theeoddments960]

I worked at my local county’s public works for the summer as a temp and just got off. Yes, there absolutely are people that still talk like that but it’s mostly small town people that live small town lives. It’s still around but Minnesota is getting more and more homogenized with the rest of current American culture
