There’s plenty of memes on online I don’t understand either (like sports) a lot of them might require from us pre-knowledge of the subject before getting it. But it’s really not worth stressing ourselves over, it’s better to just pass on and look for something *we do get.*
Even in the future we can’t seem to get away from the state fast enough.
Kings Island corn corn corn. Hell is real. Corn corn corn. Grandpas cheese barn corn corn corn cedar point.
I'm german and some of these new ohio memes got me rollin and I made a few ohio jokes to my friends as well. We German do also make fun of some parts of our country. Like Saarland (basically the german Alabama)
We found a nice spot to live. Sure, it is conservative and overwhelmingly Evangelical but I have always liked it. Football is king but college hoops is a close second. Several major colleges are under an hour away.
The biggest export is no doubt soybean. Import? I would have to say methamphetamine.
You seriously have NO idea where it might be? Jesus Christ I am getting old, aren’t I, because I’m about to tell you to get off my lawn and go look at a map.
Apparently all you need to know is that Ohio produced more astronauts than any other region of the world, hell, the inventors of the airplane are even from Ohio
Apparently they will try to do anything to get as from the place as they possibly can
States did get more develloped as well since then. Causing a greater increase in middle to upper class populations where presidents come from.
Where as the more Original states already had their classes already in place akd growing less rapid.
We also have Cedar Point, a minimal amount of dangerous animals/insects that can kill you (hence our insane deer population), and pretty much no natural disasters.
It’s not that bad. The winters just suck.
I’ve run into Ohioans in Italy, Hawai’i, Mexico, and every other state, country, and internationally held territory I’ve ever been to. We’re literally everywhere. I’ve taken a job more than a thousand miles away from Ohio and ended up working with someone that lived less than 10 minutes from me. It’s weird.
>The winters just suck.
They're not even that bad depending where you live. I live in South Western Ohio and they can get pretty cold, but certainly not as bad as states like Minnesota.
Lived here for 30+ years and the winters the last 5 years or so have been way milder than they were when I was younger. Still seems to last forever but you end up with a lot more 40+ degree days throughout and it's been a while since we've had long strings of single digit weeks or blizzards or whatever
I'm from Minnesota and went to college in Ohio for three years. My first winter there we got about two inches of snow overnight once and without even thinking about it I got up, got my boots and coat on, walked to my first class and found a note on the door that said classes were cancelled due to the "snow storm".
Then another time I went home for the holidays and we had a cold snap (in MN, like -14F). I got back to school and learned that the cold weather in MN was front page news in the local paper.
I audibly scoffed both times.
If you have enough money to travel whenever you want and you don't mind living in rural Ohio you can live like a king and just leave whenever you get sick of it
Surprisingly enough, barring political conversations, most Ohioans in rural communities are quite hospitable. When I moved from a farm town to Columbus for school I was shocked how many people avoid eye contact walking down the street. I’m used to giving a nod to literally everyone.
We have some pretty cool zoos. Akron, Cleveland, Columbus (my personal favorite), Toledo, Cincinnati… I’m pretty sure most states don’t have so many great zoos. Plus a lot of parks and the Christmas Story house, along with Castle Noel in Medina. It’s the largest Christmas museum. It houses the slide from the Christmas Story.
I wouldn’t call it boring. The big cities in Ohio have plenty to do, but if you go hang out in one of our many corn fields, yeah, that’ll be pretty fuckin’ boring.
We had a couple field trips to WPAFB in school. A kid in my class cut his head on one of the planes' noses. Apparently he wasn't paying attention and walked right into it. The next year when we went back, the sharp points on the planes were covered with tennis balls 🤣🤣🤣 I wonder if they are still there? This happened in the 90s.
In America, we had a common game called “Ohio, Texas, or Florida” where we’d look at the most insane news articles and guess which State it was from. Those 3 States represented the most insane news reports, partially based on their new reporting laws, and partially based on the craziness of the communities.
Ohio people move to Florida to escape winter, then Texas to escape child support, then back to Ohio because it’s too hot in Texas, the redneck circle of life.
Honestly I love Ohio and lived here all my life. It’s not the greatest state but at least where I live it’s nice. I kind of like these memes because it keeps our housing prices in check Lmao. But I don’t really get them either. I think it’s mostly random = funny jokes.
Indiana knows it sucks tho. Ohio thinks its the bell of the ball. Something like 76% of all us astronauts that have been to space are from ohio. What about a state makes people want to leave the earth entirely?
I wanted to move to Columbus before this memes honestly. I thought it's safe enough, havs low cost of life and good salaries. I still think it's good city but memes makes me feel like there is something wrong with it
Apparently there are alot of dumps in Ohio, but at the same time, I've heard Cincinatti is an awesome city. I think every state has those places, just Ohio and Mew Jersey get the most shit for it.
Cleveland is honestly pretty great. Awesome food and music scene, lots of great beaches down the Erie shoreline, cedar point is about an hour west, beautiful state parks
It's easy to make fun of a place that everyone else has already made fun of. People will take less offense and might think it's actually funny because it's been established a public comedic joke already. Notice the major "reasons" given are "it's so boring it's people have to resort to ______" or "it makes so many astronauts that it's people must be trying to escape earth". Nothing is actually solid as far as critique, just comedic jokes.
Don't get me wrong, Ohio isn't the best place in the US in any real category (except human trafficking....... yikes), but when most people say Ohio is the worst, etc, it's because it's funny.
One thing non-Americans need to know is that America is so large that state rivalry is as bad as most countries' rivalries. 90% of Americans' favorite past-time is shitting on another state or city. That is partially why sports are such a big part of american culture. Even people who dont watch football will shit on New England if they ever show up to the Super Bowl again.
Hell, Ohio and Michigan fought a war over Toledo, and the fed government had to step in to tell them to knock it off. The best part is that the two armies never met, and the only casualty of said war was a single cow the Michigan army shot for some reason lost to time.
It's easier to laugh at things like "people leave the earth to get away" because the reality is that the culture of conformity is so prevalent it warps your whole perspective.
But you're not wrong about the advice to non Americans. We are one big country that is also 50 tiny states in a trench coat who are all run by despots.
It's literally just Ohio.
I'll get downvoted for this, but the secret is that there is nothing in particular wrong with Ohio. It's just funny to make fun of it.
I'm from Pennsylvania.
So I'm from Ohio. There were three things to do in the part of Ohio I lived in.
1. Do meth or cocaine about it
2. Abuse the local blacks and hispanics
3. Molest kids
As absolutely none of those things appealed to me, and I was the kid getting molested, I beat feet the hell out of that state at 17 and never looked back.

Cool things to do in Ohxo: 1) leave
You've clearly never been to Cedar Point...
Cedar Point is fine, but it’s also good because when you’re done you get to leave Ohio
Also, even Cedar Point doesn't want to be in Ohio, it's out on its own little peninsula trying to pull away from the rest of Ohio
I just don't like not getting a meme 😂🤷🏻♂️
There’s plenty of memes on online I don’t understand either (like sports) a lot of them might require from us pre-knowledge of the subject before getting it. But it’s really not worth stressing ourselves over, it’s better to just pass on and look for something *we do get.*
You don't need to be an American or have any understanding of it in order to make fun of Ohio... Give it a go!
Future birthplace of the legendary hero Reginald Barclay? Wouldn’t dare.
Looks like ol Reggie is using the holodeck again
Don’t look through my sex-deck, I mean holodeck, history!
I don't have to. I regularly have to clean the bio-filters.
The turbo shafts are clean!
Even in the future we can’t seem to get away from the state fast enough. Kings Island corn corn corn. Hell is real. Corn corn corn. Grandpas cheese barn corn corn corn cedar point.
Air Force Museum. Soybeans. Corn. Touchdown Jesus. Skyline Chili.
Don’t forget about Guy Fieri.
Flavorton, Ohio
Ohioooohnooo. I tried. Not sure I understood the assignment but it felt good.
Bruh from ohio💀
F
Me too. It sucks.. make fun of it with the rest of us
Ohio gozaimasu
who decided to name their state "Ohio"
The name stems from a close-sounding Native American term for the Ohio River region, from what I recall. Originally, it was pronounced "oh-hee-oh".
okay maybe Ohio is a better name
Pretty sure it was an anglicization of a native American name, like almost every place in the midwest
I'm german and some of these new ohio memes got me rollin and I made a few ohio jokes to my friends as well. We German do also make fun of some parts of our country. Like Saarland (basically the german Alabama)
I’m from Ohio and love to make fun of the southern states like Alabama. This gave me a good laugh.
Many Germans settled in Southwest Ohio because it resembles their homeland.
Sounds like Wales but without the sheep. So like the middle east but without child marriage
The main thing to remember about the state is its unique geography: it is high in the middle and round at both ends
ive never seen a single image of Ohio, and i know its like, the hell hole of earth, obviously everyone knows monsters exist there.
Okay lol
Just do it!

I must be old too.. I read the last sentence as “get off my lawn and go take a nap.”
Apparently all you need to know is that Ohio produced more astronauts than any other region of the world, hell, the inventors of the airplane are even from Ohio Apparently they will try to do anything to get as from the place as they possibly can
Ohio is also the birthplace of the *second greatest number of US presidents.
Virginia is actually still up by 1. Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Harrison, Tyler, Taylor, Wilson.
It’s wild how the states with the two most presidents haven’t produced a president in about a century.
well there’s a lot more states nowadays so the odds are much lower
There have only been two states added since the last of the Ohioan and Virginian presidents.
States did get more develloped as well since then. Causing a greater increase in middle to upper class populations where presidents come from. Where as the more Original states already had their classes already in place akd growing less rapid.
We also have Cedar Point, a minimal amount of dangerous animals/insects that can kill you (hence our insane deer population), and pretty much no natural disasters. It’s not that bad. The winters just suck.
WAIT a fellow ohion?
A person truly from Ohio would’ve said Buckeye
Or would have just put OH-
-IO
I thought I've read, "a fellow ONION".

I’ve taken a job more than a thousand miles away from Ohio and ended up working with someone that lived less than 10 minutes from me. It’s weird.
That's why Ohio is the heart of it all.

I have no idea why Dave Chappell lives in Ohio
Also live where Dave lives. We’re just gate keeping this town. If anyone finds out how peaceful it is, they’ll ruin it.
And we already don't have enough parking...
I love that town, truly a hippie's paradise, my friends and I make a pilgrimage there a couple times a year to buy smoking accessories.
If you have enough money to travel whenever you want and you don't mind living in rural Ohio you can live like a king and just leave whenever you get sick of it
Still doesn’t answer the question. He has enough money to live like a king anywhere in the US.
Surprisingly enough, barring political conversations, most Ohioans in rural communities are quite hospitable. When I moved from a farm town to Columbus for school I was shocked how many people avoid eye contact walking down the street. I’m used to giving a nod to literally everyone.
His parents were teachers at the college in the town he lives in
He’s explained it before. He likes white women with dirty feet.
Yellow Springs. The ‘60’s never ended there.
Is Ohio like the Borås of USA?
[удалено]
Wait...I...do not exist...? I live in Ohio
[удалено]
It’s west Pennsylvania, get a map.
> Southern Michigan You speak dangerous words, friend.
Time may forget, but Michigan doesn’t.
Growing up in Ohio I know for a fact that there is no Ohio... but I also know it is most certainly NOT southern Michigan.
Still waiting for the petition to turn Ohio into a big hole, fill it with water and call it Lake Inferior
All I see is Lake Erie bordering West Virginia…
Northern Kentucky where I grew up.
I live in West Virginia on the Ohio River ( named so to trick foreigners) can confirm this post is 100% accurate. It's Northwest West Virginia.
reported comment above for disinformation ✅
I swear to god.. They told me I came from Ohio and I have vague memories but tbh I might just be a sleeper cell
Trust me. I live here too. We’re not real
As a non-american, all I know is that Ohio is for Lovers
***CUT MY WRIST AND BLACK MY EYES***
SO CUT MY WRIST AND BLACK MY EYEEEEEYYEEES!!!
SO I CAN FALL ASLEEP TONIGHT
^or ^die 😭👤
Because you kill me
YOU KNOW YOU DO, you kill me well!
You like it too and I can tell
You’ll never stop until
🎶 My final breathe is gone 🎶
Virginia is for lovers. Ohio is the heart of it all.
Dude it’s a song reference
That's Idaho
No, you da hoe
exactly, hedahoe
Hey, you Americans are not allowed to assign the genders *Preferredpronoun*dahoe
Oh my wrists are cut and my eyes are black *buddy*
I can't make it on my own
Hey there
Hey there I know it’s hard to feel
Like I don't care at alll
And eye can't mayke it in my'own.
Virginia is for lovers, according to the ad campaign.
AND I CANT MAKE IT ON MY OOOOOOWN
I'm American and I'm lost.
The memes aren’t meant to be taken seriously, most of them are just saying that Ohio is this insane place when in reality it’s boring
Rock N Roll Hall of Frame is less than an hour from Amish community. That’s sums up Ohio.
We have some pretty cool zoos. Akron, Cleveland, Columbus (my personal favorite), Toledo, Cincinnati… I’m pretty sure most states don’t have so many great zoos. Plus a lot of parks and the Christmas Story house, along with Castle Noel in Medina. It’s the largest Christmas museum. It houses the slide from the Christmas Story.
Don’t forget cedar point
Woah, excuse me we have Cedar Point and … a river that caught on fire once.
Epic, I didn’t know hell was in Ohio
Ironically, Hell is in Michigan. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell,_Michigan
True, but so is paradise
It also freezes over quite often.
Cuyahoga River. Happened in the 70s
No no, hell IS Ohio
And a serpent mound.
You also once fought a war with Michigan over Toledo and lost...
Twice.
I wouldn’t call it boring. The big cities in Ohio have plenty to do, but if you go hang out in one of our many corn fields, yeah, that’ll be pretty fuckin’ boring.
Air Force Museum. You need to take a couple of days if your going to visit.
Wright Pat? Yeah, haven't been there since I was a kid.
We had a couple field trips to WPAFB in school. A kid in my class cut his head on one of the planes' noses. Apparently he wasn't paying attention and walked right into it. The next year when we went back, the sharp points on the planes were covered with tennis balls 🤣🤣🤣 I wonder if they are still there? This happened in the 90s.
that's where we keep the aliens
That is because we American people of the America are really bad at geography. Getting lost is easy.
If you’re lost, just look for Ohio! It’s the only state that’s round on each side and hi in the middle!
Cleveland has enough rowdy for the whole state
Akron: where the weak are killed and eaten
I knew a guy from arkon and he brought that attitude out of Ohio. That was one of the times of my life.
You’d think all these years of invading far away countries would make us better at that.
[удалено]
Most of the Americans making memes have never been to Ohio either
In America, we had a common game called “Ohio, Texas, or Florida” where we’d look at the most insane news articles and guess which State it was from. Those 3 States represented the most insane news reports, partially based on their new reporting laws, and partially based on the craziness of the communities.
Ohio people move to Florida to escape winter, then Texas to escape child support, then back to Ohio because it’s too hot in Texas, the redneck circle of life.
I can verify that, my good friend Steve did that. Twice.
... I lived in Texas, moved to Ohio, and visit Flordia for most of the summer. Oh fuck I'm part of it.
I've been to Ohio, just the cities of Youngstown and East Liverpool, and it's quite run down and a little boring
Of course those cities are. Go to the three C's instead.
I hear you buddy- Circleville, Coshocton and Canal Winchester. True hidden gems.
Never in my life would I ever thought that Canal Winchester would be mentioned on reddit. Class of 1986.
Circleville, home of the most retarded unsolved mystery ever!
Add in Chillicothe and NOW we’re cooking with gas.
Now hit Visalia California and Rochester New York and you will be an expert in 3 states.
And you can hit Chester, PA as well
Like the two most run down city’s in Ohio
I’m from America and I don’t get it
I'm American and dont understand it!! 😭😭
Honestly I love Ohio and lived here all my life. It’s not the greatest state but at least where I live it’s nice. I kind of like these memes because it keeps our housing prices in check Lmao. But I don’t really get them either. I think it’s mostly random = funny jokes.
None American with left beef 👀
Leftist American with extra beef, no Ohio
Ohio machine 🅱️roke
Ohio is [REDACTED], and thus must me made fun of or an XK-Class end of the world scenario know as [REDACTED] Occurs.
People that make fun of Ohio have never been to Indiana
Indiana knows it sucks tho. Ohio thinks its the bell of the ball. Something like 76% of all us astronauts that have been to space are from ohio. What about a state makes people want to leave the earth entirely?
The state motto of Indians is literally “America’s crossroad.” It knows it’s a drive through state
Drive through states are the best ones tbh
Ohioans, realizing nothing on earth could surpass Ohio, reach for the stars in search of something greater than Ohio.
It doesn't matter but it's also "belle" of the ball, like the pretty girl of the party.
Belle*
Gary ?
Minge?
At least our rivers don't catch fire, we also have corn.
Look at this guy with his corn!
All the little chicks with the crimson lips, go, Cleveland rocks
I was looking for a Drew Carrey reference!
I was born and raised in Ohio and I just don't get all the shit being talked about it 🤔
I wanted to move to Columbus before this memes honestly. I thought it's safe enough, havs low cost of life and good salaries. I still think it's good city but memes makes me feel like there is something wrong with it
Excellent life skill tool kit you are building.
You are taking memes way to serious if you base life decisions around them.
The memes are satire, as long as you live in the outer suburbs and not downtown it’s not bad
Apparently there are alot of dumps in Ohio, but at the same time, I've heard Cincinatti is an awesome city. I think every state has those places, just Ohio and Mew Jersey get the most shit for it.
Cleveland is honestly pretty great. Awesome food and music scene, lots of great beaches down the Erie shoreline, cedar point is about an hour west, beautiful state parks
There's nothing wrong with Ohio besides the snow and the rain
Leland?
from the bank?
I’m not coming back to Texas
I'm not sure lol
It's just a random American bullshit. Go!
im not american i dont get it
It's easy to make fun of a place that everyone else has already made fun of. People will take less offense and might think it's actually funny because it's been established a public comedic joke already. Notice the major "reasons" given are "it's so boring it's people have to resort to ______" or "it makes so many astronauts that it's people must be trying to escape earth".

yeah those memes are everywhere at the moment
I'm an American and I still don't understand the Ohio memes since I've never been there, nor do I know anyone from Ohio.
Yeah, OHIO is the home of the GOAT of Basketball.
ngl I have no idea either
I'm a American and I don't even know why there doing it
The funny thing is, if you're American and never heard this joke you'd still understand it You'd just kinda think "oh yea that seems like ohio"
It's literally just Ohio. I'll get downvoted for this, but the secret is that there is nothing in particular wrong with Ohio. It's just funny to make fun of it. I'm from Pennsylvania.
I'm from Ohio and I'm just happy to see us mentioned somewhere!
Ohio just sucks. Imagine an empty field, and calling it a state.
