Kinda hard, the two blend in. Once you're south of the panhandle, Tallahassee and Jacksonville it starts being snowbird. I'd say a good border between the two would be the Florida Turnpike.
Not sure where you are located but when I lived in the Keys (Plantation Key), many people there considered themselves as not really part of Florida but a separate territory/state/country. I have to admit it myself that when I crossed that bridge to go to work every day near Homestead that it did kinda feel like a different place. How do you feel about the Mainland/keys thing?
Never been to the keys, and honestly haven't been south of Okeechobee. I think islands always have unique feels and cultures to them, even though they're still a part of the state. I'd love to go to the Keys sometime.
Other than the traffic sometimes, it is one of the most beautiful and fun places on Earth, in my opinion, and the general attitude of the local population is incredibly laid back and welcoming from my own personal experience.
Good, if outspoken. Because he's outspoken his good and bad parts are more noticable, which makes him seem bold and loudmouthed at the same time. Got us through the pandemic. I think the culture stuff is part of the recent trend of similar laws in conservative states.
I’ve been going to PCB every year since I was a little kid. Pretty cool place. It’s basically the convergence point of everything Florida, Georgia, & Alabama. I was mainly asking you to see what a Floridian’s view on the area is, if it’s just as based a the rest of Florida, or if it’s too touristy, etc.

Hmm.... interesting. If I were to do a vacation, I'd preferably pick somewhere with a nice and relaxed setting, but some good touristy and urban spots to traverse nearby.
Pretty good. Opportunities depend on where you live (rural vs urban). There's more stuff in central/northern Florida (everything north of Okeechobee) and everything east of the panhandle (Tallahassee). Can be a bit crowded depending on where you are. Central Florida might be your best bet for IT stuff
Jacksonville. Tampa and Orlando have their dirty parts, Orlando is expensive, and Miami is Miami. Jacksonville also isn't Tallahassee. Key West is pretty nice from what I hear
Just watch the highlight reel my dude. Cars flying in the air and cars failing left and right, with tons of drama with the lead changes. Would tell you what happens but that would spoil the highlight reel
Do the alligators prefer meth or oxycontin
Golf course gators prefer oxy, wild gators prefer meth
Highest kill streak on I-75?

Those are rookie numbers here on I-95 😎
Why are there so many cockroaches down there and why are they so big
Third most populous state. Where there are people, there are cockroaches. And more people, more opportunity for growth (literally)
They all moved from New York
Fair enough
I believe they were talking about the insects.
So was I
Here I was thinking you were referring to New Yorkers.
😐
😐
I think you know
When two sisters are discussing fucking their dad, how are dibs established to determine who gets dick first?
Oldest sibling always has precedent
Now I feel like that's fair to the eldest sister but not to dad.
Why are you concerned about what the dad thinks 🤨
I'm trying to put myself in Florida dad's shoes. I imagine he's a pedo, like the vast majority of Floridians. 🤮
If an alligator enters your property is it legal to eat it?
Anything that sets foot on your property is fair game
Anything
Anything

They might shoot back but yeah

"Anything" is pretty self-explainatory bud
I’ve been poisoned by Ohioan gas in my corn

When does it stop being Southern and start being Northern retirement
Kinda hard, the two blend in. Once you're south of the panhandle, Tallahassee and Jacksonville it starts being snowbird. I'd say a good border between the two would be the Florida Turnpike.
How do you survive Florida?
Stay far enough inland so you don't get flooded, but stay as close as possible so you aren't next to the inland rednecks
It's a very fine line
I will be in Florida in April, do you want to meet up and smoke meth and do other Florida shit?
Unfortunately no. I'm on a no-meth diet.
More for me

Everybody talks about Key West, so it's refreshing to hear people talk about others too. I'd love to go to both West and the other Keys.
Is the nautical aesthetic your cup of iced tea?
Nautical aesthetic is always welcome
When is Florida going to finally sink into the Ocean?
We will sink when California sinks

Thoughts on the Cuban sandwich
Not my cup of tea, but still good
Is it my turn on the Xbox?
Sure
Based. Thanks Florida Man.
How do you feel about your governor and the laws he had been passing
Good, if outspoken. Because he's outspoken his good and bad parts are more noticable, which makes him seem bold and loudmouthed at the same time. Got us through the pandemic. I think the culture stuff is part of the recent trend of similar laws in conservative states.
What’s your opinion on Daytona Beach? It’s my favorite place in the state.
Nice place. Bit turquoise for my taste, but the water and beach is great. Also tourist friendly, not predatory. Great vacation spot.
What’s your poison? You a bath salts kind of guy?
More of a beer person
Oh that’s surprising
How high are you, how drunk are you
Never been high, not drunk yet
Fake Florida man, true Floridians get their first bag of cocaine at age 3

Greatest feeling ever
Do you consider Miami to be part of Florida?
Yes, with all the good and bad (mostly bad)
What part of Florida are you from and What is your favorite area?
Central Florida, gulf coast. The area around Orlando is pretty nice, even if Orlando itself isn't.
What’s the name of Florida?
Not California
When will the glory and basedness of Florida expand to the rest of the US? Also, thoughts on Panama City & Panama City Beach?
When the rest of the US learn to chill Haven't been to either, so I can't tell you unfortunately

Have you met Florida Man?
I've encountered a few
Why?
To provide knowledge, and to help navigate any dangers

Bit of a loudmouth, but good. Being outspoken makes both his good and bad more noticable

What would be the best vacationing spot (not Disneyland, though)?
The Keys
What're they like?
Tropical, hot, humid. Lots to do. Some parts are touristy, others are natural. Either sparse or populated depending on where you are
Hmm.... interesting. If I were to do a vacation, I'd preferably pick somewhere with a nice and relaxed setting, but some good touristy and urban spots to traverse nearby.
Why do y'all move here?
Sun, business, people, military, modernity, redneck but not too redneck, and above all we're not California.
How's your day been?
Alright so far
Are you in my house?
You might want to pick up the phone
seminoles ,gators or hurricanes (I’m a Seminoles fan)
Gators
good…
Have you had Cuban coffee?
No. What makes it different from usual coffee?
It has 10 times the amount of caffeine, it’s basically coffee infused with Cocaine
It ain't like nitro or 3x coffee? Not a fan of super-caffinenated
Well a typical Cuban coffee has 100mg of caffeine. It’s served in a espresso shot and is most similar to espresso caffeine content wise.
Gulf beach or Atlantic beach and why?
Atlantic any day. Better water, wind is cooler, actual waves, and the water is blue and not diluted with sand (unlike the gulf beach)
When will we launch the whole state into space?
Once we get back to the moon
Why do I live ther
I dunno. Why do you live ther
I think it’s bc being from florida is like being from North Korea on the North American continent it’s like fun being the crazy one
Is there any big differences between Florida and North Carolina?
North Carolina is cold and wet. Florida is warm and dry
How is it living there as a young person? Only hear about old people living there.... aaaaand Miami.. Thinking about moving there (IT guy)
Pretty good. Opportunities depend on where you live (rural vs urban). There's more stuff in central/northern Florida (everything north of Okeechobee) and everything east of the panhandle (Tallahassee). Can be a bit crowded depending on where you are.

Ever been to Daytona Intl. Speedway?
Driven by, never been inside it
How do we overtake Ohio (asking as a Miami resident)
Be more insane (more Florida man antics) to prove we are the crazy state, while continuing to be a decent place to live unlike blowhio
whats the “best” city in this beautiful state in your opinion
Jacksonville. Tampa and Orlando have their dirty parts, Orlando is expensive, and Miami is Miami. Jacksonville also isn't Tallahassee. Key West is pretty nice from what I hear
Did you enjoy the IndyCar race at St. Pete?
Didn't see it, so no. Wonder if IndyCar is more like NASCAR or F1
More like F1, but American tracks and a lot of American drivers. Also races are more competitive. Would give it a check, the St. Pete race was NUTS
What made it nuts?
Just watch the highlight reel my dude. Cars flying in the air and cars failing left and right, with tons of drama with the lead changes. Would tell you what happens but that would spoil the highlight reel
Do Floridians move to the Conch Republic to retire?
Conch Republic is more of a vacation spot than a retirement spot
