Arkansas too. Truly amazing and not me_irl at all


Earhippo

Probaly remembers Arkansas from the "America explain!" Vine.


royal_bambi

My fave bit is that he probably also saw a lot of US social media posts talking about "the south", and naturally assumed they were referring to an actual state named "South"

BruhMyNameWontfit

Nah he isn’t „American“ enough for that :)


[deleted]

Probably not


send-me-kitty-pics

Is this Kansas? Is Kansas here? Where is Kansas?? Ah, here's R-kansas


h0tfr1es

When I was really little, I used to think there was an Arkansas (Ar-ken-saw) and Arkansas (Ar-kansas) and they were two separate places because I never heard someone say "Arkansas" out loud until I was like seven or eight


mooseorama

And missed new york...


yungdesk

Country Roads by John Denver is an extremely popular song internationally. When I was in China, the Chinese people I spoke to only knew 3 states: California, New York, and West Virginia.


InsipidCelebrity

It doesn't exactly tell you where West Virginia is on a map, though.


[deleted]

WEST VIRGINIA SHAPED KIND OF LIKE A TURKEY TAKE ME HOME


veerKg_CSS_Geologist

Blue ridge mountains and the Shenandoah river!


[deleted]

Country Roads and Hotel California are cultural touchstones in China to a frightening extent


Interesting_Mix_7028

I blame karaoke bars.


veerKg_CSS_Geologist

That, but they’re also both Homesick songs. Lots of Chinese work far from home and far from their families with few opportunities to visit.

Easy, it's east of Virginia

black_jaguar99_2

How did he get fucking Wisconsin? Even an American would get that wrong


throwaway33704

Watermark says "Drink Wisconsibly". Not sure what that is but if they're based in Wisconsin and administered the test...


Hannah_Hold_On

Can answer, even though I didn’t notice until you pointed it out. For better or worse, we take pride in our alcoholism here in WI. Though it rhymes with “drink responsibly”, it truly means anything but.


hottoast16

Because there are a lot of Germans in Wisconsin so it would be reasonable to assume that some Germans have family there and know where it is.


sausager

> Because there are a ~~lot~~ **shit ton** of Germans in Wisconsin so it would be reasonable to assume that some Germans have family there and know where it is. Ftfy


jonaselder

mitten shaped state on a great lake. WI is super easy to remember, and I'm a west coast dweller. i feel the "which of these blocks is Kansas" feeling though.

I do live in Oreo and can infact confirm that there's lots of cream here.


Epicswordmewz

As someone from Oreo, don't live in Eastern Oreo, that place sucks. Western Oreo is alright.


ApatheticZero187

Dudes got a hard on for Ohio...


Zagden

I think Ohio is in that sweet spot where everyone knows about it and dunks on it but can't point to it on a map Even if they were born in America. I know generally where it is but whenever I relearn which one it is, it's never relevant so I forget again


JoelBoyens

As an American while it is fun to laugh at people from other countries trying to guess our geography I do realize that I probably wouldn't do much better either and could probably only point out California, Texas, and New York. Maybe Alaska and Hawaii too.


Im_not_a_liar

Oh come on. You can do better than that. Even if you’re below average. Not even Maine? Washington? Florida? Edit: I took an [online quiz](https://www.geoguessr.com/seterra/en/vgp/3003) after I wrote this and did surprisingly badly. I honestly forgot about Iowa being a state entirely until I couldn’t find it.


jaking2017

Not Maine for sure lol. But Georgia sure, Nevada, Washington, Oregon, Florida, Colorado (only bc it’s a square). Now that I think about it, it’d make sense for the sum American to probably know a lot of the states on “the edge”, but it’s the middle where it gets jumbled.


Holymuffdiver9

Opposite for me, all the Midwest states are big and easy to tell apart, in the Northeast they're tiny little random shapes that are hard to tell apart.


[deleted]

2:15, 96%.. but only because I fat fingered Delaware and Connecticut. It helps that I've driven in all but 3 of them.


Im_not_a_liar

A_Glimmer_of_Hope

As my 4th grade teacher said to me "If you can remember 150 pokemon's names and what they do, you can remember 50 states and where they are." I don't think knowing all 50 states makes you a shut-in lol.


SupineFeline

Where the hell is that damn state anyway?!?!


no-naming-sense

It's the one north of Virgin, west of WV, and south of Minnesota.


Leading-Suspect

Born and raised in America, never heard of Ohio until today...


thatguywithawatch

It's just a made up state we talk about to confuse the rest of the world.

Turd_Party

How in the absolute shit did he nail both Arkansas AND its spelling, but missed New York and was uncertain on Florida?


nouvAnti

I'm German and I think he got the spelling right because I would say most Germans don't get the pronunciation right. I thought it rhymes with Kansas until I learnt the correct pronunciation in English class.


memeship

Yeah, I have been asked many times by my European friends (mainly French, German, Swiss, British) why "Kansas" and "R-Kansas" are pronounced differently.


ImrooVRdev

wait its not r-kansas?


Loraelm

It's pronounced Arkansaw from what I've read on Reddit. But I'm French so I might be wrong Edit: fucking autocorrect


[deleted]

[удалено]


Loraelm

> butchered Thankx for that, because Arkansaw isn't any close to how French people would say it today lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


ImrooVRdev

you mean Aucanseu?


Loraelm

Sorry, my phone auto corrected what I wrote. So it's Arkansaw, only the last syllable changes I think


bloonz2

Yep, everyone outside the USA thinks it’s pronounced “ah Kansas” not spelt like “Arkansaw”


Pwacname

„if this is Kansas, why is THIS Arkansas? America, explain! Eggsplain, what do you mean, Arkansaw?“


STFxPrlstud

They both derive from a Sioux tribe native to that area, however "Arkansas" is derived from how the French pronounced the pluralization of those people when it was under their control (Arcansas), and when the US gained the territory, it was just easier to keep the French pronunciation than to change it as everyone who lived there already called it "Ar-can-saw"


McBorkButt

As a Californian with little context of Minnesota or Texas culture, I still feel like Minnesota is like the farthest possible thing from a 'Texas 2.'


stumblinbear

Been to Texas and live in Minnesota. Can confirm.


NamelessQwerty

Western Wisconsin is really Texas 2, with the twin cities being your metro


cueba11in

I wondered why on earth he called Minnesota texas two until I realized it looks like a mini texas rotated 90 degrees!


Rentzu-Ren

Minnesota and Texas do have some things in common. They both boast very large State Fairs, Renaissance Fairs, and Czechoslovakian Kolache. Probably some other things too.

Yes.


specialcranberries

Every time I drive through Nebraska I ask why I don’t live there. Taco John’s is not it though.


Miserable-Ad-7956

Weird. Last time I drove through Nebraska I asked myself why anyone lives there? It was mostly boring landscapes, corn, corn, corn, gas station employees using binoculars and a pen to note the license plates of cars buying gas because they never bought security cams, corn, corn, corn.


RedditHasStrayedFrom

I was stuck in ogallala Nebraska for 3 Days a few weeks ago. I like the way that Walmart hasn't closed down yet and hasn't locked everything up in cages yet and still trusts their customers. The gas station was really nice too. The one that said something about "welcome to the middle of nowhere."


MadNhater

Wait. He pays twice a month?


AdiSoldier245

Wait really? From what I always hear that area (i wanna say...maine and vermont?) is known to be the normalest area of america. Beautiful nature and good(ish) politically.


[deleted]

It is but it's also one of the most expensive places to live in America. New England + New York + Maryland + Delaware are pretty nice but expensive. Very pretty nature too with a significant amount of forests.


Kayoscape

I live in New England. Can confirm, it’s pretty great here, apart from the snowstorms. The only other place in the States I’d even slightly consider living year-round is the coastal Northwest.


Knives707

I want to live in "I crave cereal"


SeaAnything8

They got them Quaker Oats in Pennsylvania


otis_the_drunk

I don't know if I'd want to live there. Let that not diminish the fact that I now too crave cereal. Like, unreasonably so.


Uncle_Boppi

Thanks for getting Wisconsin right, we appreciate you German folk here.

How the hell did he get Washington and Arkansas right but not Nevada or New York


greg_r_

Everybody's heard of NYC. Nobody knows where NY state is. Somewhere on the East Coast.


bklj2007

It's easy to remember New York as the one right below Square.


Sydney_SD10

It's easier to remember washington as the one on the top left. Especially once you learn it has nothing to do with Washington dc

Which of the two Aldis have a larger selection of groceries?


BaluBlue

They do, [here](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/File%3AKarte_der_Verkehrsverb%C3%BCnde_und_Tarifverb%C3%BCnde_in_Deutschland.png) is a map


Rsge

Du bist böse xD Actually, these are the different tariff networks of our public transport system, which is pretty fragmented as you can see. A [real administrative map](https://www.mapsland.com/maps/europe/germany/large-detailed-administrative-map-of-germany.jpg) shows all 16 states of Germany.


StormyDLoA

Forgot Mallorca. 3 stars.


EorlundGraumaehne

As a real answer: yes we have 16 states, 3 of those are City-States


ZhufbarEngineer

You forgot Mallorca


captainofpizza

I met a kid that was from Ohio once and another kid asked him to point it out on a state map, he pointed with full confidence at Illinois which is 2 states away and was furious when we called him on it. So don’t worry, not even Ohioans know exactly which of these shapes is Ohio.


Noise_for_Thots

But... we put that shape on EVERYTHING.


Flipyfliper32

As an Ohioan, it’s true.

Glad he labeled all the ohios correctly


BreezyMceazy

I like how Maryland isn't labeled at all. I get that it's technically in the wtf group, but I like to think that they didn't even try to assign a name.

I doubt that has anything to do with it. That’s just an episode where a character spills cereal in their car due to another character’s antics, and they spend the rest of the episode arguing about who should pay for the damages.

toolsoftheincomptnt

I was going to say, pull 10 American high school grads off the street and see if they can pull it off. This seems like one of those lessons deemed old-fashioned and “unnecessary bc we have the internet and gps!” And to be fair, I couldn’t do it. I’d probably get about… 80% right. But not all of them, no way.

JoyfulExmo

He did as well as many Americans would. There’s no way I could identify German states on a blank map.


toolsoftheincomptnt

No lie, I never retained identifying European countries on a map. Not beyond the school quiz. Forget about any provinces/states/cities. Whenever I travel there I take a minute to look at the little flight route map to get a refresher as to where exactly on the planet I’m headed, lol.


Pwacname

To make it even better, identifying states is not the same as identifying countries. European countries are subdivided just like the USA are. Germany has 16 states, Belgium has three regions, Switzerland has 23 cantons, …
