WEIRD But TRUE Facts About Nebraska

[@ianmackenzie686]

Only lived in Omaha half a year and after so long I still consider it home.

[@Corsuwey]

Born and raised in Omaha. I now live near Nagoya Japan and I find the weather absolutely boring! That said, only Nebraskans would truly understand this!

[@Tyler_Bundy]

Well said!

[@JWD1992]

This made me think of the sushi chef from the show The League who was from "Oma-ha."

[@thundergamergd]

True, can't get snow in June in Japan

[@davidbudka1298]

We are windy, but we are also in the central fly way for many migratory birds. Additionally, wind farms require considerable amounts of land and the construction of transmission lines. Some people in the Sandhills region are concerned about the construction of numerous wind farms. They kind of get mad when the urbanites in Lincoln and Omaha want to build nuclear waste dumps, crude oil pipelines, wind farms, EHV transmission lines, and other city supporting infrastructure up there.

[@Electrodexify]

I'm from Omaha and I still think this is unfair to the west of Nevada. Wind energy is a con, fiberglass blades that break and cannot be recycled. Plenty of pollution is created when making these wind turbines. The surrounding area to a wind turbine is a graveyard of birds. Plus the power is inconsistent, no thanks!

[@black_hand78]

The wind turbines already kill millions of birds a year, adding them to Nebraska would easily double or triple that number. Wind turbines also aren’t clean at all, they require oil and plastics as well as metal that has to be mined. The other things you mentioned aren’t clean either for many reasons. It’s not that we’re backwards and don’t want better infrastructure, we just aren’t going to buy into the propaganda. We know gas vehicles aren’t clean, but neither is having child and slave labor to mine the cobalt to make the batteries for EVs.

The weather here is terrible, cold and windy or hot and humid, there's like two enjoyable weeks. Not worth the reduced cost of living when most of the year it's hard to enjoy anything outdoors because the dew point is 95 or there's 50 mph winds in spring and fall.

[@PsychopathicV2]

To each be their own on that one buddy. Personally hate the humidity but love the wind in the spring-autumn. Winter yeah it can be bitterly cold. Hell last winter I remember work closed up early because all the construction sites we deliver to shut down. Wind chill was -30. City definitely has issues but it’s home to me.

[@Electrodexify]

That's a lie, we have plenty of nice days and even in those cold and hot days that we get, I'm used to them and appreciate the 4 seasons.

[@robertpolnicky7702]

Could be my imagination but it seemed like the 70s it was hot and dry on Nebraska but got awfully muggy in the 90s in the summer.

[@MrLynchrules]

Looking to move to Omaha... Work at wally world and trying to make a transfer out that way. I have to keep my Job as I'm in College through them I'm looking to rent.

[@dillonsronce2583]

I am from Omaha, but only like 2 or 3 things about it.

[@dcooper5225]

We are relocating from memphis,TN could you provide information on affordable housing. And who to reach out to for rental houses please?

[@Tyler_Bundy]

Sorry for the late response. In regards to rental properties I would look on zillow.com as it will give you plenty of options to look at. I hope your transition goes smooth!

[@brianamarjenhoff7957]

Hello I am looking to relocate to Omaha for good education, employment, & good cost of living. I cannot find any information regarding how discriminatory people can be regarding diversity I am white and my family Is European Spanish. Where we currently live we are badly bullied. What are the chances in Omaha?

[@Tyler_Bundy]

I can only speak for my family and friends who I have talked to about this and over all any prejudice they have experienced here has been very light and it has been out weight by the kindness they have experienced by living here. Hope this helps

[@black_hand78]

Don’t live anywhere outside of Omaha, Lincoln, or grand island. Especially don’t live in North Platte. If you’re worried about prejudice small towns are the worst cause they may not be directly racist but they are definitely subtly racist. North Platte is actually the human trafficking capital of the country because it’s directly in the middle of the country going all directions.

[@raymondpeterson952]

Someone might mistakenly think he works for the city of Omaha...😏.there is more to the state than Omaha, just saying!

[@aquaman2561]

Are you hiring

[@b-man1232]

Most people have no clue how beautiful Western and Northwestern Nebraska is! I travel the country on my motorcycle and I am not from Nebraska, but it's one of the most beautiful states that I've ever ridden through! Highway 2 up through the Sandhills was absolutely mind-blowing!! We would go several miles without seeing another human. One of my all-time favorite places that I've ever ridden through

[@Tyler_Bundy]

This is awesome. I want to go out that way and get it all on film for everyone to see.

[@JD-kf2ki]

That's it! I'm gonna move to Omaha, Nebraska (from the Bay Area, California).

[@b-man1232]

Did you move???

[@JD-kf2ki]

@@b-man1232 Unfortunately no

[@ryanedwards2668]

​@@JD-kf2kiI live in Omaha and lived in Sacramento and been to the bay plenty and I'd much rather be in the bay area or sac.

[@patrickmeister4769]

Why. Do you want to freeze to death? It's OK, I'm being too judgemental.

[@knuckledragger2412]

Along the I-80 corridor is the armpit of Nebraska. Rick Grimes has work to do there.

[@JukkaS.Hakkarainen]

This is well done & interesting...and I m not from NE...not even from U.S...but from a one horse town in Finland ,😁

How is Dominos popular in all those states? Crappiest pizza ever. Literally anything is better than a Dominos pizza.

[@Tyler_Bundy]

Casey's pizza is one of my favorite.

[@GLBizzie]

I never got the hype

[@KristianNeil]

Lol You've never obviously lived in Hawaii, do not move there unless you want them to get bullied everyday

[@T0xicdaf0x24]

I have a friend in West Virginia and he is moving here to Nebraska and he says it so weird here in Nebraska and he said it was a cultural shock I might send this to him

[@LvBenji89]

OK, WHAT I NEED TO DO FOR RENT IN LINCOLN NE ??? I’M IN NC NOW, BUT, IM PLANING TO MOVE IN JUNE OR JULY WE ARE A FAMILY OF 4

[@GLBizzie]

Did u move ?

[@jameshansen8226]

My cousins from New York City came to Nebraska for a visit. They were most surprised that we had paved roads and flush toilets.

[@Caracajou]

People from NYC don't know anything but NYC.

[@K.V.Krasnenko]

Tyler, thank you so much for this interesting facts about the state of Nebraska! Such a comparison on the map of the United States is quite informative and understandable for everyone ;)

[@Tyler_Bundy]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@BriBorgersen]

On a travel nurse contract with my husband here in Omaha Nebraska. The weather is insane and I don’t think we’ll ever get used to it lol.

[@PainterZero]

How many arrests for possession of marijuana.?

[@alanstrong55]

The Platte River is so dry much of the time. Heavy rains flood that river easily. The soil is excellent to the core. Chernozim is a natural prize to farming. Lincoln is a fine city. Heard it is a good place.

[@jenilynneful]

This was fun to watch. I was born and raised on a farm in southwest Nebraska. I lived for years in Texas, and finally got to my dream in upstate NY. My parents both died two years ago and I visited Nebraska for the last time to say goodbye to my dad. It was a fun childhood, growing up in a home my grandfather built, he had been the superintendent of the schools there. I have no interest in going back, but it has a lot to offer and it’s still where my earth heart lives.

[@davejarvis7522]

very, very,very nice people live here that's for sure

[@Dzanarika1]

Liar

[@cmartin68137]

yo i live in omaha im just in middle school yet this shit is interesting.

[@Tyler_Bundy]

thanks for watching bud!

[@chrismartin9905]

Interesting segment. 2 reasons people look up aka Google a restaurant are: Reason 1. To view the menu or look up the phone # or place an online order. Reason 2. To call and complain about missing food or a bad customer experience. That is the reason for calls to Mcdonald's and Domino's. I would not assume this to be a favorite brand for any state.

[@rastusbojangles]

my pops was stationed in Bellevue NE from 2004-2009 and I loved it there. Great folks, great music scene at the time, and the winters are awesome. I might move back lol.

[@HintzeDarrin]

What would happen if Nebraska became a country for 3 years would it boom or would it fall

[@black_hand78]

Definitely boom. Nebraska produces a major portion of the countries/worlds corn and beef supply. In 2021 Nebraska produced the most beef. Nebraska also has lots of small and medium rivers that connect to the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. All Nebraska would need to be its own country would be to build more factories. However if Nebraska seceded, the other states within the Louisiana purchase, texas as well, would most likely follow behind them because although some states like Colorado are more liberal, they all still share similar lifestyles and livelihoods. If the states within the Louisiana purchase secede that would split the country in half, which would cause food problems for the west and east coasts. The coasts would try to revolt, which they have the numbers, but most city folk don’t know how to properly use a weapon and don’t know proper military tactics for engagement let alone even own any real weapons or equipment lol. Most of the coal mines for electricity are also within the Louisiana purchase so the states could cut off everyone else’s electricity very easily. Warren Buffet controls the railroad and will forever call Omaha NE his home and I can guarantee he would allow the citizens to use his RR to mobilize forces. There’s also lots of natural resources in the Louisiana purchase and in Nebraska itself.

[@robertK3371]

I truly believe it would stay the same.

[@douglasjohnson-sq3nl]

they try to get me in jail up there

[@robertK3371]

Hahaha. You're not the only one.

[@antwan1357]

I've lived in omaha my entire life except for a stint in the army , and a month in Texas cost of living better then average .

[@sboy1955]

Rank pretty high in crime out there.. very surprised to see that data!?

[@black_hand78]

That’s because crime rates go off of the cities. Little known fact but Omaha was actually built by the mafia just like Vegas was. Omaha and Lincoln still have a very small mafia presence but it’s more of thugs running around now robbing people. Another little known fact but Nebraska sadly has cartel activity and even some of the court judges, lawyers, and police departments are drug dealers but most people are ignorant of that fact because they aren’t involved in that lifestyle or simply choose to be naive.

[@HappyTraditionalWife]

Many California refugees 😂

[@robertcampain612]

Thanks for the video! I grew up in Omaha, and although I’ve been away for decades , I still consider it my hometown. I enjoyed all the info!!

[@LilmissJ111]

Ha ha ha, Omaha has had flooding in our City. Just saying.

[@Tyler_Bundy]

Yes, thanks for Calling that out. We have had flooding in the designated flood zones which comprised less than 5% of our city.

[@Tyler_Bundy]

@Solitude Of Heart you will just want to ask the landlord of the property is in a flood plan. If it's close to a creek that is a property you will want to make sure it's not

[@robertK3371]

I know that you are focused on the Omaha area, but you forgot to mention Lincoln being a very close city to Omaha. That being said, we live in Dix, NE.which is on the total opposite side of the state. We are an hour from Cheyenne and 2.5hrs from Denver. Land is cheap, and there is absolutely nothing to do. But it is a good place to raise a family or retire. Have a wonderful day. Oh, and one good thing is that yoou can build relationships up with local ranchers and buy beef at great prices. So we aren't going to starve.

[@patrickmeister4769]

Lincoln is better, but it's pretty nasty weather. I grew up there. I'm just looking out for everyone. Have a great day!

[@robertK3371]

@@patrickmeister4769 I hear you. And I am so sorry about all of the weather issues that you guys have been having over there. It's crazy to think of how different one side of the state is than the other. I wish everyone over there all the best.

I have been to Omaha but mostly been to Lincoln. I was born there and I had relatives there and I hate the city but it feels kinda like home. Now I live in Hasting, Nebraska and I love it. Sure Hastings ain't much but it feels a lot more like home than Lincoln. I might visit Omaha again some day but I can't stay for too long.

[@major3041]

Helloo, I'm thinking of pursuing postgraduate studies in Creighton University. What do locals think of the school and what is usual mode of transportation around Nebraska? I heard that there is not much public transportation available but sort of dont want to believe that information.

[@Tyler_Bundy]

Schools are great. if you located around and close to the school you will have ok transportation. But in general the word on the street is fairly accurate that public transportation is bad

[@major3041]

@@Tyler_Bundy I see, I might get a bike once I settle there if I pass the admissions. Thank you so much Tyler!

[@black_hand78]

⁠@@major3041public transport is indeed kind of bad. You’ll definitely want some type of 4WD vehicle for the winter, although sadly winters haven’t really been feeling like winter lately there’s just no snow 😢. Make sure you have emergency supplies in your vehicle at all times because towns are usually 30+ mins between each other and make sure you know how to change a tire lol. Learn some survival skills too because it’s a very open state and you might not always have cell service or even find another human for hours. Always keep winter gear in the car, occasionally people freeze to death just feet in front of their house during winter because they get blinded during blizzards so never leave the car if you get stuck except to clear snow from the tail pipe.

[@crazyredhare]

You could get housing on campus or near enough you won't need to worry. Off campus, make sure you're on a bus route. Around UNMC there are plenty of buses. You will need a friend with a car to go clubbing etc. though.
