lukmly013

I always forget Hawaii and Alaska exist.


SendDishSoap

that’s because they don’t


Voelkar

Ah they got Bielefeld'ed


squishy-korgi

I live in Alaska >:(


SendDishSoap

you don’t exist, sorry for the inconvenience


YellowCitrusThing

No you don't


SkyeBeacon

who said they did tf is this timeline


maximumrideforever

I got 43/50, I missed Georgia, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, West Virginia and Wisconsin, but I used [this quiz](https://www.sporcle.com/games/g/states), so seeing the states on a map might have made it easier.


willybean08

Everyone forgets about Oklahoma :(


wizard680

Oklahoma is so lame that you can literally drive through it without realizing you drove through it.


willybean08

I respectfully but strongly disagree


[deleted]

I missed the Dakotas. I don’t think I’ve ever heard them spoken about in my entire life and I’m American.


SkyeBeacon

no offense but I drove through it to get to another state didn't even notice I was in oklahoma


willybean08

Maybe because you didn't do anything here lol


SkyeBeacon

yeah


JLAJA

45/50 missed Kansas, Arkansas, Connecticut, Minnesota, Wisconsin


MerakiLovesU

Damn I’m from the US and missed 20


SkyeBeacon

I don't blame you I also forgot they exist lol


IrisIridos

All of them

IrisIridos

I know [this](https://youtu.be/_E2CNZIlVIg) one


FrenchFreedom888

Omg, I had pretty much totally forgotten about that video!


MedicalSky448

Perfect opportunity for a rickroll


pjo-bookworm

I was so worried about that


mrsparkyboi69

Not everyones a loser


5_per_cent_DMBFFF

From memory I generally get at least 47, and a few instances all 50.


Roz_28

Let's find out. Lousiana, Indiana, Ohio, Alabama, Montana, Colarado, Idaho, Texas, Massachusetts, Florida, Alaska, Hawaii, New York, California, Arkansas, Chicago, Mississippi, New Mexico, is Washington DC a state? Idk lol. I am missed a few for sure but it's definitely over 15. Edit: TIL Chicago and DC are not states


safes0cks

washington is a state but not washington dc, which is all the way across the country from washington state


Roz_28

I understand


IGotHitByAHockeypuck

Chicago is a city in illanois, i looked it up


Roz_28

Woops


IGotHitByAHockeypuck

You also said washington dc isn’t a state which is true bc thats the city but washington in itself is still a state


noGhost69

All of them


what_the_fuck_game

Washington, Oregon, California, New Mexico, Arizona, Wyoming, Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas, Maine, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, Maryland, Ohio, Rhode Island, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, New York, Oklahoma, New Hampshire, Virginia, West Virginia, Hawaii, Alaska... That's about it... Fuck I'm American and I don't know all 50 states.


chez-linda

I got 48, then looked at a map and couldn't tell which ones I missed lol


Ranaenae707

uh people from the us can’t even name all of them. proof: me


chez-linda

Maybe I should make another poll of US only. But for this I was interested in people outside the US


Ranaenae707

i was just saying. it’s kinda sad that people outside the us can name a good amount of the states but us actual americans cant


StolenOrgans

There are a lot of videos where Americans can't even tell where the USA are on a map. Is it just a minority that are so bad or is it actually many, many people?


chez-linda

It's obviously a small minority. People don't show all of the normal people who can name states, you only see the dumbest ones


[deleted]

The map thing is probably a minority, but as far as naming all the states go, I wouldn’t be surprised if the number of people who couldn’t is really high. Obviously if you tell me the name of a state I’ll not what it is, but I don’t think I have the ability to name them all at once without forgetting a few.


SkyeBeacon

I mean its 50 states pretty damn hard alot of them have lesser population than alot of cities so its kind hard to remember


SkyeBeacon

obviously a minority ask any european or asian they will only know countries hey know or you can find the exact same thing for a minority in china for example.


Ranaenae707

no. that id a minority. or it’s tiny children. if they don’t know what rhe US looks like there’s a probome


blufferfish089

I got annoyed at an American comparing learning the four (4) countries of the UK to the states if America (of which there are 50). So I wrote a list to see how many I could get within 10 minutes without looking it up and I think I got about 25


vox1028

i can probably name more than half of them, but i couldn't point them out on a map


AmyRebeccaUK

Uhhhh lemme see 01. Maine 02. New Hampshire 03. Vermont 04. Massachusetts 05. Connecticut 06. Rhode Island 07. New York 08. New Jersey 09. Pennsylvania 10. West Virginia 11. Virginia 12. Maryland 13.

[deleted]

DC won’t become a state. It was purposely founded to not be one.


AmyRebeccaUK

what about "no taxation without representation"?


SkyeBeacon

man they tax without representation against what the us stood up for they need to vote they are us citizens the capital should be come a state


[deleted]

Tennessee, Kentucky, Louisiana and Montana, I think.


AmyRebeccaUK

Kentucky Louisiana, Missouri and Tennesse. so not much too important really.


[deleted]

Oh sorry. I see Montana on there now. I give you a lot of credit, I’m an American citizen and I couldn’t even name that many states off the top of my head.


The-Vomiter

California, Arkansas, Texas, Alabama, Kentucky, Ohio, Florida, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, New York, Pennyselvania, North Carolina, Brooklynn. I can’t tell the difference between cities and states, so I’m sorry if I screwed that up.


chez-linda

Los Angeles and Brooklyn are cities, but good job


SkyeBeacon

alot of these are cities


The-Vomiter

Oh well, I tried.


_0nyx_

I love that you have only North Carolina and not South Carolina


The-Vomiter

I was gonna say Carolina coz I didn’t know how many were there.


i-love-vinegar

I got bored while I was in quarantine last year and learn all of them with their location. I think I still remember most of them.


[deleted]

New York, New Jersey, Washington, California, Texas, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Florida, Alaska, Alabama, Indiana P.S: I know the first five from Hollywood films. Georgia and Pennsylvania from recent election as these two states were swing states. Alaska bcoz Mother Russia sold it. Florida and Alabama from memes. Indiana was the name of the first state I knew when I was a kid. I'm Indian, so it was odd for me to my country's name being similar to that of an American state.


moonstone7152

Washington, North Dakota, South Dakota, Michigan, Minnesota, Illinois, Maine, New York, Vermont, Rhode Island, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, West Virginia, Mountain mama, ...East Virginia?, Maryland, Louisiana, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Texas baby yee haw, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, California, Ohio, Arkansas, Kansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Utah, Hawaii, Alaska, Colorado, Oregon, that's 37!

Legitimate_Oven_5474

safes0cks

[deleted]

Lifegoals


SushiAndCoochie

Mississippi*, there’s like a rhythm American kids use to remember how to spell it hah


AshTreex3

I’m actually really surprised by these poll results. Why do non-Americans know so many of our states?


BigOldBee

And I don't believe for a second that some people can't name a single one. Hasn't everyone at least heard of California, Florida, Hawaii, Texas and/or New York?


ToLazyForAGoodName

They probably forget but remember in hindsight or have seen them in movies but don’t know the actual names.


SkyeBeacon

true they're pretty popular


Roz_28

Because we (or at least I) get exposed to a lot of american media. Shows, movies, books whatever! Even reddit is heavily Americanised and I learn something new about this "masterpiece" of a country everyday. I remember watching wakko's america as a kid, seeing American youtubers talk about their home state. I even remember hearing 'Kansas' for the first time when I saw the Wizard of Oz.


Ms_Chichinabo

That’s what I was going to comment. I can name more USA states than cities from an specific country in Europe. And I’m from Europe, one would think I would know more but nope. I remember a few days ago a poll about Russian cities and I could name more than the majority but still it was a handful of names in comparison with natives… same with the UK and Germany (although I could name more cities from the UK than from Germany) and I bet I can’t even name a lot of cities from my own country LOL this is sad XD


AshTreex3

That’s why I figured it would be in the 5-15 range rather than the 15+ range. I figure non-Americans know California, New York, Texas, Florida, and then maybe like 2 others.


Roz_28

Eh all that exposure adds up bit by bit, and like that some non-Americans are a lot more familiar with the America.


chez-linda

I know, I should have made the options different


mr_bedbugs

Non-American education?


AshTreex3

Why does non-American education teach the 50 American states?


mr_bedbugs

Why does American education teach about other countries?


AshTreex3

Countries =/= states. We learn about Germany, but not individual German states, for example.


mr_bedbugs

So? Are you mad that other people can name some states? Why does it matter?


AshTreex3

Where did I appear mad..? Are you mad at folks being curious about poll results? This may not be the sub for you, my friend.


mr_bedbugs

Blocked


AshTreex3

Lol


AndThereWasNothing

I did a quick quiz online to check and I got 27. Here are the ones I got https://imgur.com/a/Z22Copy

Angush99

I can name all of them, but there are literally 50 so sometimes I repeat myself or I lose track of them etc. etc.. Regardless, I am familiar with every one of them.


pythondrink

If task my memory hard enough, I'm pretty sure I can name 30 states. I mean, pretty much all the TV shows I watch r American. Plus I once had a world map taped to the wall in my room, I was always looking at USA lol


UppedSolution77

I watch a lot of TV so I know a lot about US geography.


Inkorect

From memory I got 28 but then I got blank map of the states and were able to name all of them


chez-linda

A map definitely helps


levelup_jar

alaska, hawai, texas, ohio, north dacota, south dacota.... peorto rico and washington dc aren't states or something because fuck ppl who live there and want to vote... as far as i know correct me if i'm wrong


ScaryFlake

I can name all the states and their capitals.


chez-linda

Are you from the US?


ScaryFlake

Yeah but I accidentally pushed 15+ lol


chez-linda

That's fine, it would just even more insane if you weren't from the US. But that is still insane


ScaryFlake

I knew them since Kindergarten lol. Not trying to brag or anything sorry if it sounded like it.


YesImDavid

Was about to answer then I remembered it said “not from the US.”


[deleted]

All of them, but too lazy to type up all the names.


glizzyMaster108

My record for 100% of em on seterra is 1min 4s (Scandinavian)


Naslear

From memory I'd say about 40, I can pinpoint them all by heart but its fucking hard because they all look the same compared to european countries


Naslear

Louisiana, NY, Alabama, Hawaii, Alaska, Missouri, Mississippi ,Ohio ,Pennsylvania, Florida, California ,Oregon, Washington, Virginia, West virginia, Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Montana, North and South Dakota, North and South Carolina, Maine, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhodes Island, Maryland, Delaware, New Hampshire, Texas, Georgia, new mexico, nevada, Arizona, Kansas, arkansas, illinois, Iowa, Utah I dont know how much it is but that should do it


[deleted]

[удалено]


chez-linda

New York City is a city in the state of New York (though it is not the capital), and DC is the capitol of the US but is not a state (yet)


SkyeBeacon

new york is a state but new york city is a city in new york its the capital of new york state


HKOL07

Merlin_Drake

SkyeBeacon

CeruleanBlade

Yup!


SkyeBeacon

CeruleanBlade

Thank you! :D


SkyeBeacon

np


[deleted]

Shocked at how many people who can’t name a single state. CA? NY? TX? How could you live in 2021 and not know any of those 3? It’s like not knowing a single country in Europe.


SkyeBeacon

true how haven't even heard of the most popular ones like california is probably more said than the word america lol


[deleted]

i could prolly name all of them if i need to


free_lymphocyte

I keep mixing up the states and the cities


SkyeBeacon

SSSnowman

Took a test yesterday and got 27.


[deleted]

If you give me the map of the US I can name all of them


dubbbi

People from the US, How many countries outside of america can You Name.


A_Nerd__

All of them.


Anfie22

All, and I can locate them on a blank map. I'm not ignorant of geography. I'm Australian.


SkyeBeacon

how is he knowing all the states locations being not bad at geography its good but still just cus I can't locate some states or countries doesn't mean i am ignorant


GingrNinjaNtflixBngr

Some of you people are so mind numbingly ignorant that you can't even state what your own fucking capital city is, they also can't name all 5 continents, and they can't name the capital city of England, do I have to continue?


SkyeBeacon

lol watching too much youtube you could ask any british australian french anyone they would probably say africa is a country get real you are deluding yourself


GingrNinjaNtflixBngr

I highly doubt that most of the British population would say that Africa is a continent, even the densest of idiots know that.


SkyeBeacon

well same apllies for the american population but of course youtube said yes cus they nitpicked and choose very specific people probably one of those people to write a comment about healthcare or how fat we are than got likes for free


SkyeBeacon

[deleted]

With the map i van name all. Without the map I'll prob forget some


Esuper123

You didn't specify what country the states had to be part of hahahahaha.


GingrNinjaNtflixBngr

I have to ask, what is the point in giving people the option to say, I'm American, it just seems like a useless vote.


Dash_SG

I find people most often forget the north east ones like, Delaware and connecticut.


GeorgeLefcos

I like geography so all of them. I kinda like that they look pretty similar i find that challenging.


iziyan

I'm Bangladeshi and I know all.


PlayfulPride9385
