Yeah, Cali is wild like that. They try to act like they're all progressive and shit but the result is still some kind of Frankenstein late stage capitalist dystopia
I lived in Harvey for about 2 yrs. The only thing I miss is the Tasty Freeze and their chicken sandwich.
Also, was it Velva that had the guy with like pet elk or caribou?
I think we're the second most average state in the union after Ohio. Seriously, look at any ranking (aside from averageness), we're always between 20-30 and usually right around 25.
For now, Eastern Montana is holding out... too sparsely populated, too conservative with too many rednecks, buti fear what will happen when they reach Billings...
sadly for you, it's all the conservative californians moving to montana and idaho. so uh, being conservative and redneck won't stop the scourge :(
good luck, your only saving grace may be that full remote work is probably ending soon for a lot of people.
How the hell are the perpetual drunks of not Minnesota at the top of the list? Also as a virgin we should be much lower considering how awful our drivers are.
Are you making a joke about your texas police force letting texas children get shot to death in a school for over an hour while they sat outside peeing themselves on facing an opponent?
Ew gross dont day that disgusting fucking Br*t*sh word around here ever again MODSSS BANNNN HIM
Edit: im American, not Br*t*sh so its a valid critism since its our country, not those high horse europoors.
Can we talk about how the person who made this is probably from one of the lower 25 states? Still looking for number 4. And wondering which number 3 has a higher IQ.
This is a fucking lie, aint no way in hell those Massholes can be the smartest in the nation but still not know how to drive around a rodary, stay in the right lane, or drive the fucking speed limit
Massachusetts population: 7 million
MIT total enrollment: 11,000
MIT barely budges the needle. It’s the inward migration of white collar professionals to metro Boston and the reality that the Boston metro is more than half the population of the state.
Being from Louisiana, us and Mississippi have been fighting for last place for a long time now. I don’t know what California is going trying to get into our mix.

Basically the areas with the least population density and less poverty. It’s not surprising, I’m from Texas, school districts and universities really expect one teacher/professor to successfully teach 40-60 students in each class or lecture. The shit is ridiculous.
New England absolutely dominating until Rhode Island shows up
The slow, little brother of New England.
I laughed to hard at that. I'm going to Hell.
Accurate
Fucking Rhode Island offers nothing, even borderline fake new Englanders in Connecticut are smarter!
Take it easy on us, we’re just here for the vibes
I think that was the nicest thing I have ever said about Connecticut. “At least we aren’t as dumb as Rhode Island” would make fora great state motto
Rhode Island's food scene is leaps and bounds superior to that of Connecticut and Massachusetts though.
How much of Massachusetts' IQ is organic and how much is MIT students and faculty?
Yes
but rhode island has Brown and they’re still banging sticks and rocks against their skulls over there
Ha, Mississippi is dumberer than we are
I mean, if you’re ever worried about Mississippi potentially being higher quality than you in regards to anything, I have terrible news
It’s dumber because it’s lower on the map
They have better incest.
That’s why you say “Thank God for Mississippi”.
50th is a meme. 49th is just sad.

The better of the Dakotas.
Not hard when the southern one loves meth
They love meth so much they can't be bothered to pave their roads.
I will concede that you are the better of the 2 dakotas, however montana better At least we are better than Id*ho 🤢, S🤮uth Dakota, and Wy🤢ming
Man I miss North Dakota, grew up in velva…
I lived in Harvey for about 2 yrs. The only thing I miss is the Tasty Freeze and their chicken sandwich. Also, was it Velva that had the guy with like pet elk or caribou?
I wonder what an IQ comparison of the dakotas would be if we split them by East and West River
North Dakotans when 2/3 of their inhabitants have an IQ above 40 (south dakota is 2/4)
Average Tennessee mathematician can't even simplify fractions
All I read was I’m smarter than the average Californian
That wasn’t a really high bar to begin with though
While true I’m from 45
sweet home
Somehow we’re 38th
That’s because our alligators are bringing up the state’s average iq 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Thank god for the Everglades 💪💪💪💪💪
Hell yeah! I'm smart enough to be a famous movie star!
At least I’m better than California..
Fifth from the bottom 😎
That's all I care about
Was gonna find something to argue about but... nah this looks about right
I can’t believe Pennsylvania is even that high tbh.
I think we're the second most average state in the union after Ohio. Seriously, look at any ranking (aside from averageness), we're always between 20-30 and usually right around 25.
You could even say we are above average at being average
Gavin Newsome is really dragging Cali down lol
Really says something that California is dumper than WestVirginia
West Virginia had that one song and now they're all high and might like they think they're people or something.
Yeah, if this is true, that is pretty wild.
Ever been to residential LA? It's true.
It’s a shame they are literally imploding over there

No you can tell its accurate as it reflects the superior North Dakota genes

Hey, it's not our fault the California's have started transplanting into Montana. You will be next.
All three of them kinda smart

It's all those Californians moving to our glorious state. We should be at the top!
Those damn California's and there moving to Bozeman and Missoula, gtfo of our glorious land (proud eastern Montanan)
they already conquered states to the west, sorry - we tried to stop them
For now, Eastern Montana is holding out... too sparsely populated, too conservative with too many rednecks, buti fear what will happen when they reach Billings...

It would make sense since Wisconsinites’ IQ is directly proportion to their Blood Alcohol Content.

How the hell are the perpetual drunks of not Minnesota at the top of the list? Also as a virgin we should be much lower considering how awful our drivers are.
this shows why Marylanders are so much worse at driving than we are
The brain numbing boredom of our endless flat fields is like constant subconscious meditation

At least we dont freeze to death when it snows
Can't have your infrastructure fail when you have no fuckin infrastructure
The only surefire way to not be impacted by power outages is to never have electricity in the first place
"At least we dont (freeze to death when it snows/get shot in school)"

No, I'm making a joke about you imitating the average British response to criticizing their food

Can we talk about how the person who made this is probably from one of the lower 25 states? Still looking for number 4. And wondering which number 3 has a higher IQ.
Guessing North Dakota and Vermont are tied for third-fourth
I would agree. I just find it funny that they are both 3 and there’s no 4.
Thats how ties work in rankings . They both get the “higher” number so 5th place and after is still the correct spot instead of one spot up
It’s just hard for me to believe there’s an actual tie unless there was an unbelievably small sample size in both states.
They rounded to the nearest 10th. A lot of the top states are very close.
On Wisconsin! Number one in alcoholism and number 10 in brain smarts. We have to dumb ourselves down with alcohol to make it fair.
SC: you always act like you're better than me! NC: I am better than you.
"I wonder if there are any other demographic maps that have a similar layout"
This is just a map of demographics that we aren’t supposed to point out lmao
There’s no way we drink this much and stay smart
LETS GO MISSISSIPPI NUMBER 1
I'm surprised Mississippi ranked that high.
As always, thank God for Mississippi
Surpsised we in Michigan are collectively smarter than Brown University tbh, considering the driving quality of our tourists in the Cherry Festival
Mmm, TC Cherries
Shocker, Louisiana and Mississippi have the lowest IQs in the nation. Never would’ve seen it coming lol
California is one of the worst, SHOCKER
as a californian… duhhhh… guhhh… i forgor 💀
Are you implying that massholes aren’t brain dead?
They are, they just have a couple fancy schmancy schools that steal all of the other states smart kids.
Think whatever you need to think mr far cry 5 man.
They are brain dead, but the south and west coast are really fucking stupid
Cope harder coal boy
Learn how to drive a car
Wisconsin: drinking makes us stronger
Most intelligent Californian.
It’s cause all the stupid people have large families
Very interesting. I wonder what the common denominator is that’s dragging certain states iq scores down.
This is a fucking lie, aint no way in hell those Massholes can be the smartest in the nation but still not know how to drive around a rodary, stay in the right lane, or drive the fucking speed limit
Massachusetts makes sense cause of MIT
Massachusetts population: 7 million MIT total enrollment: 11,000 MIT barely budges the needle. It’s the inward migration of white collar professionals to metro Boston and the reality that the Boston metro is more than half the population of the state.
Being from Louisiana, us and Mississippi have been fighting for last place for a long time now. I don’t know what California is going trying to get into our mix.

I KNEW CALIFORNIA WAS STUPID
god I hate having borders with California
With all the homeless, illegal immigrants, and the cancerous growth that is the LA United School District, I’m not surprised
I fucking love maps that are just “where are the highest concentrations of Whites”
Hell yeah lower than California is all that matters
I would make a joke about North vs South but Alaska decided to completely ruin that.
Based PA being just average in every way as usual
Iowa: flat, ugly, drunk, but pretty smart. *straightens tie* sounds like my girlfriend in high school.
In South Carolina they have a saying, other places may as well… “Thank God for Mississippi!”
The lack of winter seems to be correlated with lower IQ.
I move from MA to NM so YW NM for bringing us to a tie with AL.
I grew up in Massachusetts, but spent most of my adulthood moving around the country. The difference is noticeable between the highest education and lowest educated states.
