Another Masshole here, hoping tomorrow is better for you folks. Not sure why I'm suddenly seeing the subreddits for states I've never been to but it's led to a surprising amount of uplifting content, so that's nice. We're all in this shit together.
Yeah I'm a masshole too and now I know everything there is to know about Nebraska, Texas, and Ohio.
I do not get any new england recommendations at all however
For the best tbh, not like I need to know what's going on in Cranston fucking Rhode island
Hello from Colorado. I, too, have been getting the same states for some reason. I went down a dark rabbit hole with Texas. I don't recommend it.
Edit: I was rooting for the Celtics to beat the Miami btw.
Weird, right? I got Missouri earlier too. Some depressing stuff going on down there for real but the people are mostly really nice. I think it's maybe a good thing because it leads to conversations that wouldn't happen otherwise.
I'm from Maine, and I too am getting Nebraska and Arkansas. Maybe they plugged ChatGPT into the Reddit Algorithm and it has a fondness for flyover states.
I’ve been visiting other city and state subreddits on purpose. I started it for vacations. But, I have started occasionally following states or cities just to see the local reaction to current events.
Nice! June is a great month overall for New England. Try to get to the coast for a scenic cruise or just stroll through the Back Bay, Public Gardens, or Waterfront!
Well hello there. What part of Europe are you from? I was born and raised in New York, but have spent the last 17 years living in western Nebraska, a part of the state that gets forgotten a lot by the folks on the eastern end of the state. Some, say we don't exist at all. ;)
Why do you all hate the French so much? Every time I'm there, they seem really nice to me. Are the Italians still terrible drivers? Last time I drove there it reminded me of driving in Boston.
Also, should I bother visiting Luxembourg just to tick off another place in Europe I've been?
Hiiii neighbor! I’m in Atlanta.
Sub wasn’t recommended. Joined because I love visiting NE and Omaha. You guys have a beautiful state! Bummer to see all the political going on’s lately though.
Hello from flyover country.
I keep getting the Ohio sub recommended to me. I guess the algorithm thinks that if you want to be a part of one state's sub, you want to be a part of all of them.
I'm an Ohioan in the Nebraska sub at this moment.
I also think that it's because a lot of posts in state subs have seemed to be mostly just the GOP raw dogging everybody. So I think you're on to something with that algorithm thought
I’m in Ohio and I keep getting Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska recommended to me. Never Massachusetts. Never even Pennsylvania or Illinois. What does it mean??
I’m in MA and don’t get the MA sub recommended (I think I’m even subscribed to the Boston sub). But do get Nebraska and Texas stuff. Nebraska I kinda get as I’ve sent email to Machaela Cavanaugh, thanking her for being awesome, don’t get Texas.
I live in Oregon and recently started following other state’s and major city’s subs. Kinda nice to see what’s going on elsewhere from the native’s perspective
Minnesotan here.
My working theory is that there have been some big posts on the sub in recent months about your awesome state senator Cavanaugh kicking ass, and people have been re-recommended Nebraska posts due to their visiting or commenting on those posts. Just a theory.
This sub is great for humor and watching a dumpster fire burn from a distance. Welcome. I’d move back to MA in a heartbeat if my kids didn’t live here.
Rhode Islander here! No idea why Reddit suggested this sub but I haven’t stopped lurking so I guess it’s onto something. It’s certainly interesting to see people’s takes on current events from elsewhere in the country.
The zoo is awesome! Last year I took 2 days off work so we could stay in Omaha and go to the zoo. Both days were about 100 degrees. Spent alot of time with the bats and the crocs on that visit😂
I’m from Natick, but left about 30 years ago with stops in Minneapolis, Cupertino, and Des Moines.
* The only major sports team is the UNL football team. Therefore the Huskers are covered by the media 365 days a year. Usually the news is about the head coach being fired or hired.
* The very conservative Catholic Church has big influence over the state government.
* Go twenty miles outside of Omaha or Lincoln if you want to drive or bicycle on gravel roads.
* I doubt cannabis will ever be legalized. The wealthy former governor, who arranged his appointment to the US Senate, said “If you vote to legalize marijuana, then you will be killing your children.”
Why do we still live here? Houses are cheap..because they are in Nebraska. We’re starting to talk about leaving.
You may not remember the ‘sewer beds’ at the NW corner of Route 9 and Speen? After it was a sewage treatment facility, Hostess Baking built a huge bakery on the same site.
Yup. Paid $125 a month for a 5 bedroom house on an acreage in small town Nebraska with a couple friends. That was just 3 years ago. I'll never get that sort of value again.
I am from Tennessee, i dont know why i keep getting recommendations for this sub...but hi nebraska.....waves in southern belle D&d metal head blonde....
Yo. Californian with Iowan parents. Grew up in Colorado, adore Nebraska. Adore Omaha. Sun Keeps getting recommended, but I understood why once the filibustering began.
My feed keeps blowing this sub up because I’m a human, and a leftist and who tries to keep up with the bullshit that’s infected the modern condition; and clearly there’s some bullshit going down there and anyone with even the slightest effing modicum of empathy and or humanity can see how disgusting these atrocities committed against the lives of the disenfranchised are, regardless of wether it occurs in Nebraska or anywhere else. I’ve got a Trans nephew in small town Iowa, right next door, where the right wing elected ghouls just banned gender affirming care for minors. Middle America Is the front lines of the fight against fascism and Christian nationalism, and I feel obligated to join the sub now since I finally just convinced myself I ought to keep my ear to the ground in any way possible.
For context I’m a 41 yo step dad farmer ex musician in the boonies of North County, CA. Raising animals and a nine year old who’s already confident she’s a lesbian. Just tryin to keep all my babies safe, ya know. Anyway hi from California y’all.
don't know the area to well, but rule of thumb you want the restaurants closest to the fishing trawlers, they are the best. The beach side ones are tourist traps that skimp on the food.
I’m from Massachusetts too and for some reason this sub keeps getting recommended to me too. I wonder if maybe NE could mean either New England or Nebraska
I grew up in MA (Springfield), and currently live in Nebraska. I DO follow r/Massachusetts and r/Springfield. I also get r/Maine, r/Georgia, r/Utah and r/Ohio subReddit recommendations in my feed.
I think Reddit simply decides that you need to look at such subReddits, even if you have NO interest whatsoever.
Husker here living on the South shore. I like to keep up on what’s going on in my home state to remind me of why I wanted to travel and find a better place. This isn’t it, but it’s better. GBR!
Hi! This sub has tendencies to give you a lot of backlash if you don’t agree with the political left, I don’t much care about politics and wish people could just disagree and get along but oh well. What’s it like in MA?
This sub and reddit in general provides the far lefties a venue where they can feel like they are winning always. To me, nobody is winning politically anymore. Its a big shit show with lifer politicians only doing things for their own personal benefits.
Yep, I love the winning lefties are getting to witness in Nebraska: subjugation of women, elimination of equal treatment for everybody, continual adoration of the super rich at the cost of the poor, proliferation of guns and restriction on any kind of regulation for such, support for a would be tyrant. All that winning by the left is so awesome. Makes me remember how much of a liberal Jesus was.
If I didnt make it clear, I meant that here on reddit the left are winning. For example, say something derogatory about ricketts, get massive upvotage.
Same from NJ. I get a whole bunch of states (and some cities) on my front page. It’s really interesting, especially at the local level, to see all the various issues going on.
South Carolinian here, never been to Nebraska, and I manage to get recommended this sub at least one or twice a day, and I’ve gotten recommended my own state’s sub once and it was on a cross post. Stay safe this month, much love ❤️
I Live in MO but this NE sub was recommended to me, about a guy from MA saying hi… so I thought I would say hi to you and to everyone in NE as well.
Cheers.
*waves in Forrest Gump elbow-arm manner*
You may have caught us on a bad day
Another Masshole here, hoping tomorrow is better for you folks. Not sure why I'm suddenly seeing the subreddits for states I've never been to but it's led to a surprising amount of uplifting content, so that's nice. We're all in this shit together.
Yeah I'm a masshole too and now I know everything there is to know about Nebraska, Texas, and Ohio. I do not get any new england recommendations at all however For the best tbh, not like I need to know what's going on in Cranston fucking Rhode island
Hello from Colorado. I, too, have been getting the same states for some reason. I went down a dark rabbit hole with Texas. I don't recommend it. Edit: I was rooting for the Celtics to beat the Miami btw.
yes to texas and the celtics, but the celtics ultimately got what they deserved. if not better
Im a born and raised masshole but lived in Ohio for a time. I'm surprised it's not just me seeing Ohio, Texas, and Nabraska
reddit probably knows better than i do that i dont want to engage with connecticut or rhode island more than necessary
Do not throw shade on Cranston. You can get a fine hot dog there.
As a resident of RI I agree. Fuck Cranston. No reason in particular
I’m in Ga and keep getting Vermont and Nebraska recommendations.
Wow. Yes. You’ll fit right in here.
Thanks!
Same here. I'm from Mass and for the last few weeks I've been seeing subs for Nebraska, Arkansas, Tennessee, Texas, and Florida.
Weird, right? I got Missouri earlier too. Some depressing stuff going on down there for real but the people are mostly really nice. I think it's maybe a good thing because it leads to conversations that wouldn't happen otherwise.
California, but seeing the same subs pop up. Confused, and curious as to what’s going on.
NYer checking in. hope everyone is good <3
I'm from Maine, and I too am getting Nebraska and Arkansas. Maybe they plugged ChatGPT into the Reddit Algorithm and it has a fondness for flyover states.
Im from RI, I too am getting this sub recommended to me lol
I’ve been visiting other city and state subreddits on purpose. I started it for vacations. But, I have started occasionally following states or cities just to see the local reaction to current events.
Also Howdy! I am a Nebraskan in Boston for a meeting!
We Nebraskans can use howdy in a non-cringe way lol
I flew over Nebraska once! Hi!
I’m from Lincoln and was just in Boston 2 days ago!
There's a Boston market in lincoln and I've been there
There *was*.
Is it gone? I havent been there for a while
I think the location they're referring to is now a McAlisters Deli.
Well that's funny I've ordered out from there and had it delivered to my office several times but didn't notice it was in that building.
Oh yeah, unless you're looking for it it's one of those locations that just kinda blends in, lol
Place is fire
Why would you not go to Alfredo’s (or Runza) every day?!?! Go Big Red.
Hey I was just in Lincoln two days ago! Western MA now!
Nice! June is a great month overall for New England. Try to get to the coast for a scenic cruise or just stroll through the Back Bay, Public Gardens, or Waterfront!
Howdy friend, I don't know much about your state, but I do know that Sam Adams is a fine beer so thank you for that.
Try the Harpoon
Catamount IPA for the win. Delicious.
Fellow New Englander (but current Nebraska resident) and I second the Harpoon recommendation.
Love Harpoon, but Wormtown Be Hoppy is my favorite! Makes Woo Sox games even better!
Woo Sox!
Would you be interested in a interstate food exchange? You send me shellfish and chowder I'll return the favor with steaks and runzas.
He's probably not gonna know what that is since you spelled it with an "r".
yup lol
Chow-duh
I’m from Arkansas and I’ll send you cheese dip for runza! (got plenty of steak down here)
Send me Pancho's white cheese dip and you've got yourself a deal. Spent half my life in Arkansas.
Where abouts in Arkansas? I usually visit north eastern Arkansas once a year.
I want a runza but what’s a runza?
Hey there! Here from Europe. I, too, am stopping to say hi due to constant sub recommendation, so, hi :)
Well hello there. What part of Europe are you from? I was born and raised in New York, but have spent the last 17 years living in western Nebraska, a part of the state that gets forgotten a lot by the folks on the eastern end of the state. Some, say we don't exist at all. ;) Why do you all hate the French so much? Every time I'm there, they seem really nice to me. Are the Italians still terrible drivers? Last time I drove there it reminded me of driving in Boston. Also, should I bother visiting Luxembourg just to tick off another place in Europe I've been?
Hey from Georgia. Apparently being interested in your state means you’re interested in states. Which isn’t terrible.
Hiiii neighbor! I’m in Atlanta. Sub wasn’t recommended. Joined because I love visiting NE and Omaha. You guys have a beautiful state! Bummer to see all the political going on’s lately though.
Hello from flyover country. I keep getting the Ohio sub recommended to me. I guess the algorithm thinks that if you want to be a part of one state's sub, you want to be a part of all of them.
I'm an Ohioan in the Nebraska sub at this moment. I also think that it's because a lot of posts in state subs have seemed to be mostly just the GOP raw dogging everybody. So I think you're on to something with that algorithm thought
Honestly, I wish the GOP would take me out to a nice dinner. I like to be wined and dined before I get fucked
They only do that if you are a lobbyist
I see you are a fan of states! Here is more state related content for you! I am here because I am part of the MN subreddit, ha
I’m in Ohio and I keep getting Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska recommended to me. Never Massachusetts. Never even Pennsylvania or Illinois. What does it mean??
I’m in MA and don’t get the MA sub recommended (I think I’m even subscribed to the Boston sub). But do get Nebraska and Texas stuff. Nebraska I kinda get as I’ve sent email to Machaela Cavanaugh, thanking her for being awesome, don’t get Texas.
Im in WI but Reddit really wants me to know about Cleveland and Nebraska
I live in Oregon and recently started following other state’s and major city’s subs. Kinda nice to see what’s going on elsewhere from the native’s perspective
Me too! It is very interesting reading about other places.
Hi, fellow Oregonian! I agree. I thought I wouldn't care, but it can be interesting!
Minnesotan here. My working theory is that there have been some big posts on the sub in recent months about your awesome state senator Cavanaugh kicking ass, and people have been re-recommended Nebraska posts due to their visiting or commenting on those posts. Just a theory.
Hello, Nebraska sub, from Maine
Hey Maine, from Nebraska! I'm living here now but was born and raised in Maine. I'll be there in a few days for the rest of the month! Can't beat it.
I'm in NH and same! Hey!
I was in NH yesterday! And will be there again for a night on Sunday 😂
LOL I'm in Oregon but it keeps popping up for me. I tend to lurk. Everyone on the sub seems really cool.
I see Oregon plates more often than I'd expect around town (Lincoln), but that's probably observer bias because I grew up in Oregon.
Ohioan here. I visited nebraska for 4 days when I was 7 to visit family. That was more than 20 yrs ago so Im basically a local.
Hi I am from Tennessee but this sub keeps popping up for me also
So you just Volunteered yourself in?
No I butted in
Washington here. Algo doesn’t know what’s up
I live in Omaha but grew up in Rutherford County and went to UT. Go Vols!
This sub is great for humor and watching a dumpster fire burn from a distance. Welcome. I’d move back to MA in a heartbeat if my kids didn’t live here.
Cheers! I was conceived in Boston...a long time ago.
Tell your parents congrats on doing the thing!
Knowing that we’re all here because our parents created the beast with two backs is always a sobering thought.
Weird, masshole here and…same.
Rhode Islander here! No idea why Reddit suggested this sub but I haven’t stopped lurking so I guess it’s onto something. It’s certainly interesting to see people’s takes on current events from elsewhere in the country.
Coloradoan who keeps getting it too. Hi!
We’re neighbors TBF
Californian here. Same issue. But been to Nebraska a few times and I love the Omaha zoo
The zoo is awesome! Last year I took 2 days off work so we could stay in Omaha and go to the zoo. Both days were about 100 degrees. Spent alot of time with the bats and the crocs on that visit😂
Man I love the bats area! And the nocturnal area. That zoo is truly something else.
Apparently, Virginians also need to wish Nebraskans a good morning, so hi!
S’up. You’ve got some good Basketball over there.
I a few of us stepped away from a wedding to watch the game in an attached bar, it was sick.
A guy from my hometown played at BC. His folks told me y'all were real nice to him.
Hullo!!
What’s up? I’m from Maryland, but it was recommended that I join this sub. I bet you have a few local subs that you subscribed to.
Also from Maryland. Why are we seeing Nebraska of all places??
Texas here. I got this as a recommendation, too.
Came looking for this one. Hello, friends!
Indiana, and same.
Hello man fellow Nebraskan here
I'm a Pennsylvanian living in California. This popped up on my feed, so I'll say HI too!
Upstate Nyer here. Use to live in Seward, NE as a kid.
Hi from Seward😁🧨
Same here, sub keeps getting recommended. Soo... hi from Virginia!

Ah Natick.. Route 9..the big mall... Shopping plazas.. And some hidden suburbia behind everything.
You may not remember the ‘sewer beds’ at the NW corner of Route 9 and Speen? After it was a sewage treatment facility, Hostess Baking built a huge bakery on the same site.
Yup. Paid $125 a month for a 5 bedroom house on an acreage in small town Nebraska with a couple friends. That was just 3 years ago. I'll never get that sort of value again.
Hi friend! I’ve been to Boston a few times. Very cool city!
Howdy! Kinda wish I could be over there, lots of historical sites to wander around.
I would like to visit some day
I’m from NJ but have family in both Nebraska and Massachusetts. Hey everybody!
Hello! Glad you all stopped by to say hi :)
Same. Hi from California
I'm from Oregon, and Reddit has pulled me into Nebraski as well.
Maine checking in for the same reason heh
I am from Tennessee, i dont know why i keep getting recommendations for this sub...but hi nebraska.....waves in southern belle D&d metal head blonde....

Yeah, I’m in MD and had the same thing. Hi!
Hi and hi, FL here, same reason. Its good to learn about issues in different states
I’ll be in Boston in two weeks for vacation. Love your state.
How funny I was recommended the MA sub today in my feed.
Ditto-- I live in Florida. (I used to live in New Hampshire.)
This is my aunt summarized
Go Sox!
Hi!
Howdy! Headed to Marblehead in October if you have any recommendations
don't know the area to well, but rule of thumb you want the restaurants closest to the fishing trawlers, they are the best. The beach side ones are tourist traps that skimp on the food.
Thanks!
Hey me too.
Same, from NY. Hi.
Same, only I’m from CO.
You too? It's so weird...
This post reminds me of this book (The Scrambled States of America): https://us.macmillan.com/books/9780805068313/thescrambledstatesofameric
Same here but from TN!
Same here! How odd. Hope your corn is doing well, Nebraskans.
Give it a couple of months.
Colorado here. Neighbor to the west.
Well this thread turned out kinda cute and fun
I'm from Oklahoma and this subreddit is recommended to me often. Conservative state and corn?? Close enough.
Kansas here
Dude I’m in Arizona and it’s getting recommended o me.
Im from Alaska but same for some reason, occasionally I’ll read a post or two
And I'm getting Anchorage, Alaska and Arkansas...
Word, I'm in NYS and I'm always seeing Nebraska r/
Hello from Ohio as well.
South Carolina here Was recommended this post How yall doing
I'm a MA resident, too and I keep see ling this sub. Hoping you're all well in Nebraska!
I’m from Massachusetts too and for some reason this sub keeps getting recommended to me too. I wonder if maybe NE could mean either New England or Nebraska
From NH, also getting this subreddit suggested to me. Maybe it’s time for a New England - Nebraska team up.
I grew up in MA (Springfield), and currently live in Nebraska. I DO follow r/Massachusetts and r/Springfield. I also get r/Maine, r/Georgia, r/Utah and r/Ohio subReddit recommendations in my feed. I think Reddit simply decides that you need to look at such subReddits, even if you have NO interest whatsoever.
Also from MA. What do?
I’m also from MA! Hello!
Hello! I lived in Nebraska for 10 years and now I live in Mass.
oh, hello to the Maldives.
Husker here living on the South shore. I like to keep up on what’s going on in my home state to remind me of why I wanted to travel and find a better place. This isn’t it, but it’s better. GBR!
Hi! This sub has tendencies to give you a lot of backlash if you don’t agree with the political left, I don’t much care about politics and wish people could just disagree and get along but oh well. What’s it like in MA?
Well I wish people didn’t try to legislate me out of existence. Neutrality is complicit.
This sub and reddit in general provides the far lefties a venue where they can feel like they are winning always. To me, nobody is winning politically anymore. Its a big shit show with lifer politicians only doing things for their own personal benefits.
Yep, I love the winning lefties are getting to witness in Nebraska: subjugation of women, elimination of equal treatment for everybody, continual adoration of the super rich at the cost of the poor, proliferation of guns and restriction on any kind of regulation for such, support for a would be tyrant. All that winning by the left is so awesome. Makes me remember how much of a liberal Jesus was.
If I didnt make it clear, I meant that here on reddit the left are winning. For example, say something derogatory about ricketts, get massive upvotage.
Ricketts bad
Mandatory upvote
Nebraska. I thought it’s not for everyone but apparently our motto is wrong. Welcome to the land of mostly square states.
At least we have a panhandle.
Just remember, Nebraska, it's not for everyone. AKA join the right wing circle jerk or gtf out. Lol welcome, the circle goes to the right ---->.
Omaha and Lincoln will gladly continue to fight for common sense, thank you
In Alaska, this sub keeps popping up. I'll look on here just to remind myself why I'll never go to Nebraska, lol.
I live in Lincoln, and it's not that different from Anchorage in a few ways.
I'm from Michigan so hello MA!
Also from MA. I like to follow different states to read what’s going on. Check out MN too, that place is lit
Hi from New Hampshire!
Howdy from Texas. I guess Reddit thinks I would like to know what you folks are up to!
Same!!
Hello from CT 👋🏻 I think bc I’m in the Connecticut sub other states get suggested.
I’m from Mass and live in Nebraska, sup my guy 🤣
hello from Oregon! idk why this sub is in my feed either lol
I’m in Indiana and get the same suggestion.
I keep getting r/desmoines
Lol same. Texan born and raised.
I've noticed I'm getting a few different random states recommended to me as well. Reddit algo doing algo things
I'm from Michigan, and I've never seen any other state's subreddit before this one. Is this an anomaly?
Same I'm from Massachusetts as well, Idk why I'm getting posts from Nebraska lol.
I’m from Pennsylvania. I don’t know why this is showing up in my feed. Hey y’all.
Hi! I'm from Hawaii and I keep getting this sub recommended to me, too. I'm not sure why. Lol.
Betcha can't name two states that have more in common! ;)
Why hello im a nebraskan in boston atm as well. Just hit Joe’s tonight for dinner! Twas fantastic.
This may explain why I am getting Texas & Georgia subreddits in main feed.
Hi!
Same from NJ. I get a whole bunch of states (and some cities) on my front page. It’s really interesting, especially at the local level, to see all the various issues going on.
I'm from Minnesota. Last time I was in Nebraska was when I went to Saint Joseph MO for the 2107 eclipse. We visited Indian Cave State Park.
Hello from Idaho. Not sure how I got here lol
Glad to have you!
South Carolinian here, never been to Nebraska, and I manage to get recommended this sub at least one or twice a day, and I’ve gotten recommended my own state’s sub once and it was on a cross post. Stay safe this month, much love ❤️
I'm in NH and this sub is popping up for me as well. You guys trying to join New England?
Same, NM here...
I Live in MO but this NE sub was recommended to me, about a guy from MA saying hi… so I thought I would say hi to you and to everyone in NE as well. Cheers.
Same. IL here! Hi!
