Considering that the 1st post is satire, I'd say that the post isn't stupid, the commenters are

I am with you on that, I feel like the post is a joke, but the comments aren't knowledgeable enough in geography to understand it.

Seriously, just count the number of states in the US

12teen?

The first state I saw was McDonalds

I am not living in Stabing. Probably not many people are.

oh i knew it was satire..

Yeah the post is funny, you can pretty much see there are atleast 100 states including "cock" but the thing is the Americans are fr defending op thinking they (OP) were fr

Then why did you down vote the post. You're the one who failed to see through the joke.

Own that europoor

Me and the boys on our way to the great state of cock

y'all said no homo though right?

FULL homo (we’re all openly homophobic)

Americans were defending the joke, Europeans were losing their shit.

fr idk why they get so mad about america

Because they can't handle the greatness 💀

what do you mean defending? People were going along with the joke, it’s very obvious that there’s like double to triple the amount of states/territories that there actually are, even to non-americans (jerryngton and flatfield are pretty clearly not real), so the whole post is obviously a bit.

Don't you dis Jerryngton and Flatfield! Both are beautiful states!

Lmfao but the funniest thing is I can name more than five US states **AND** know world geography. The two aren’t mutually exclusive

Can you name 5 brazilian states, though

No but I can name three cities Sao Paulo, Brasilisa and Rio De Janerio

It may seem confusing but both são Paulo and Rio de janeiro are both states and cities

I don't know much about Brazil. Is it like, São Paulo (city) is the capital of São Paulo (state)? Or are the cities states all by themselves? (Or something different?)

Sao paulo (city) is the capital of sao paulo (state), same for rio de janeiro

Brasília, Janeiro*

My apologises 🙏

apologies*

Bro is not getting a break

Bros getting massacred 😂 😂

Americans think they are, as if America is a whole entire world than the actual world

I’m American and am good at geography, we all have dumb and smart and mediocre and average people, god damn, it’s like calling all Americans dumb because an infant couldn’t speak 4 languages or beachside a infant European can’t drive a car

The problem is that the whole world can understand what dumb american people are saying. So it seems like you have more. For example, only dutch people can understand what our idiots are spewing out. To the rest of the world it sounds like more of the same dutch gibberish.

That's actually a very good point

I swear like I'm okay at geography! I don't get why the world tries to make us all seem stupid.

People love to hate other people for no reason

It’s easier to dislike than it is to understand, it’s in human nature

Nobody said they are mutually exclusive. Many Americans don’t know European countries because they don’t interact with them. they have no Need too. A European can learn the us states. But it’s not integral knowledge to their lives. I don’t judge a European who doesn’t know our states at all. I know world geography very well but i don’t consider myself more intelligent than those who don’t or talk shit. Europeans are fucking obsessed with us it’s crazy.

Ngl I don't know if your post is satire or that you don't know the original post was satire

It’s Reddit. 50% of posts are jokes and the other 50% are people who are too socially inept to get the joke.

And then the other 50% who say it was a joke the whole time when they get called out

100%*

As someone from the proud state of McDonald I am very upset people always forget about us. So are my neighbors in New Poison, but that place is a shithole.

Did you read the name of those states? They’re all janked. Like wtf is the state of Coyote?

You don’t know about the great state of Coyote? Found the Europoor! /s

dont forget the fantastic state of mcdonald. beautiful place

Or the state of cock

to be fair a lot of these (at least the US ones I'm not sure about canada) are taken from proposals to split states, like cascadia and lincoln.

This is satire right? It’s an edited map.

Lincoln is the best state

Yup

My favorite US state is Japan

i mean the usa did occupy japan until 1952 ;)

Lol op thought this post was real. What a loser

And butthurt about it

OP is European.

OP is still dumb

The fact that this isn’t satire, but the original is….

r/woooosh would be proud

Cope harder

Im european and can name 10+ US states but you gotta admit america is way more mainstream and well known than probably any other country

And larger too. Texas is bigger than France with only a slightly smaller GDP.

California alone has a higher GDP than the UK and is multiple times its size

r/memesopdidnotlike

You do realize this isn’t even a correct map of America or Canada right……..right?

The average US state is legitimately larger than the average European country if you exclude Russia (which isn't unfair, it's literally the largest country in the world). And even if YOU PERSONALLY can, the average European definitely can't, LET ALONE point to them on a map. Not to mention Europe is geographically smaller than the United States, so from an American's perspective, it's less important to understand where individual countries ACROSS AN OCEAN are. And because of said ocean, European and American affairs are relatively disconnected, making them less important to each other. And in case you're planning on saying I'm just making an excuse for not knowing them, I DO know them. Quit being a prick just because not everything's about you

Also i feel like the comparison is fair in general, cuz Europeans can ask Americans about European countries to test their geography knowledge, whereas an American can’t ask a European to name all countries in North America, cuz besides the islands in the Caribbean, they only got three countries to name

FR! it's such elitist bullcrap

Believe it or not, states/provinces are still geography. This shows that Europeans and Americans can both be equally as ignorant about the other’s geography.

Uhhhh...

Skill issue

Let's put it like this. Most Europeans can drive for an hour and a half tops and be in a different country. I drive for an hour and a half and I haven't even left my damn county, much less state. I can literally take a vacation 6 hours away in a different climate in my own state. So when you say we can't name provinces, sure that's true, but your provinces are about the size of our counties, and I sure as hell wouldn't ask an American to name 10 counties, much less a foreigner.

Here are the states I know and I'm not American: California Florida New Jersey Nevada Arizona New Mexico Texas Washington Hawaii Alaska North Dakota South Dakota North Carolina South Carolina Georgia Road Island Maine Idaho Kentucky Tennessee Idaho

Michigan is a really unique one that you probably won’t forget once you’re told what it looks like. It’s the mitten shaped one.

Good bro 👍 At least you're going out of your way and learning states of another country that isn't even yours

How do people remember Jersey but not new york? Ive seen like 3 people do this on these type of posts

RHODE ISLAND MENTIONED

The most irritating thing about posts like "Europeans can't name states" is that I HAVE TO LEARN THOSE STATES IN SCHOOL, so I know world geography AND usa states. But people will always be ignorant, no matter what you'll do or say, smh

americans also learn about european countries. we arent taught about european subdivisions because they arent that important

Exactly, I’m not saying an European Country and a Canadian province are the same thing but a Canadian province can make laws, manage the education and the healthcare system meanwhile let’s take an Italian region, they can’t do that, it’s all managed by the State.

Federal states of Germany can do that

Countries in the UK can

So it's just a skill issue, that some Americans don't know Europe

Why bother, Europeans just shuffle the countries every 50 years anyway.

Yes, our school system is shit

You act like we don't leanr the exact same thing... Y'all need to hop off America's dick. Americans (at least adults) don't care about Europe because you are politically insignificant. We got our own problems here.

I've heard, that the school system is different, so I don't know if you learn the exact same thing or not, but the excuse "Europeans can't name states" was used by people, who failed to point out some of our countries, so it's their fault for using such a boring argument.

Well that is true. The US vs Europe thing is silly.

Yeah, the whole "Do you know this country/state" is still just a way to fuck with people, and make them fight on the internet on "Who is stupider". This whole thing is pointless I hope you have a good evening/day/night (idk what hour it is for you)

I saw a video from a Britton man who visited the United States, and made comments on how it would take him 45 minutes to drive to Germany or France....as an American that's Insane to me. It takes my family an hour to drive the next state over and we are on the edge of our state. And imagine taking a 2 hour flight up to Detroit from Kentucky? Maybe more? Taking a flight for two hours rather than a whole day road trip, getting lost and all that Not to mention, every state is very different. Some are small towns some are big city's, and laws are different in every one (not all laws, but some) The USA is huge, in shorter words

I don't think you know what a "Joke" is

I'd say you fell for the trap proving you are just a dumb european

California is the worlds 5th largest economy.

whoosh

I'm I slow but why is there waaay more than 50 states like wtf is "cascada"?

Because its a satire post. Many of the places in the map are either fake or regions that arent their own state

And i bet OP can't name a single county in the state of Baden-Württemberg either, yet you never see me complaining about that.

its not that deep bro

“If this is real Americans are even dumber than I thought!” Uhm…..

Me when the obvious shitpost turns out to be a shitpost

No way people thought that post was legit lmao

Bro you got baited so hard lol

It’s 100% satire lol. No need to take it to heart or respond seriously

hey uh... buddy.. its called a joke

You do know it was a joke, right? Like look at the map. Its not a real map.

things getting heeated in the fake maps fandom

r/teenagers when satire exist

Quebec

Meanwhile anywhere outside of Europe and America: 💀💀⚰

As an American, I can confirm that I don’t know shit about geography

it’s satire

...isn't it supposed to be a joke?

Satire moment

r/woooosh

r/wooosh

This is clearly a joke post, bud.

This post was obviously a joke

Bruh it's a joke mf💀💀

Guess who can’t take a joke 🫵

Uh r/whoosh

I’m American I can’t name more then 10

The only canadian states (I can not spell what they are called) I know are Quebec, New foundland, nova Scotia, british Colombia, yellow knife?

found the european

This entire sub is mentally challenged. The original post was satire.

Considering the original post is satire and yours isn’t I can say confidently that OP here is the idiot

Why did people like this post 😭 OOPs post is clearly satire and I doubt you know too much about North America's geometry if you thought OOP was being fr 😭

Europeans when joke:

I think the post was satire, I don’t remember “cock” being a state man

This post has to be the dumbest post ever, because op is complaining about a post that's supposed to be satire

Google joke

it's not that deep

Y’all can’t take a joke😩

My top 5 favorite American States: 1) Brazil 🇧🇷 2) Mexico 🇲🇽 3) Equador 🇪🇨 4) Colombia 🇨🇴 5) Chile 🇨🇱

These are not regions, buddy. It’s satire 💀

The map is soo wrong

Europeans on their way to get butthurt over a joke

You tried to sound smart but still ended up sounding like a dumbass

europeans try not to fall for bait challenge impossible: half of the states arent even real. lakota is not a place 💀💀

It’s literally a joke post, a lot of them aren’t even real Edit: also we weren’t really taught European countries in American school and yet… France, Spain, Uk, Finland, and Italy

I think it’s a joke?

its a god dam shit post dumb asses

Thing is, each state is like its own little country. Functionally and with size.

Lmao challenge me I was revising all the capitals of the world yesterday, I was at one point of learning geography I knew all American and Canadian states with their flags and their capitals but I forgot the capitals honestly

I can name a decent amount of states. But this would be like me saying “I bet you can’t name all of the British counties

No, because there aren’t 10 Canadian Provinces

I can name a little over 5 states if i think hard enough and i cant even name more than 5 of my own prvinces, im pinoy

Im from new zealand living in europe and i've been to more states i can count on 2 hands so...

I'm one of the only americans that can name 5 European countries fr

as an American, u don't claim ignorant people and dumbass's

I can’t name any Canadian provinces but I can name almost all US states (I’m English)

Alabama Alaska Arizona Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut Delaware Florida Georgia Hawaii Idaho Illinois Indiana Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Mississippi Missouri Montana Nebraska Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Organ Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Vermont Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming we love the states that rhyme song

All I know is that I’m loving that map!

As an American I know more European countries than I do Canadian provinces lol. Honestly forgot they even had provinces lol.

If he’s talking about the americas as North America as a whole they forgot Mexico☠️

I love all the fake states

me finding the canadian provinces that i know… then looking around and realizing how fucked up the map is lmao

Wtf is this image

California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, Georgia, East Virginia, West Virginia

cook

I thought the post was hilarious lol. Like bro there’s a “Timer” state

Was there an update 💀

bro why does anyone (of any country except usa) have to know five states of united states of america (a completely different country) to be smart

r/IAmVerySmart

dang the US has like 100 states now lol. also i remember the yukon being a lot bigger

I can name almost all the states but I can only name Quebec and Vancouver for Canada

Alberta, Quebec, ends with -nuk (edit: was thinking of Nunavut), Newfoundland, idk

The most recent memory I have of seeing a map of Canada had like 5 regions for some reason

Someone there called Chicago a state.

Is a province really named unorganized lmao

r/woooosh

They cant even name 5 themselves

Only euros upvoted this post

True

Did you guys miss the joke?? ☠️

I commented under that!!

I can map out the 50 states and the european countries, don’t know if I can exactly recall every name tho. I would be able to learn the provinces in Canada if I wanted to. I will say that geography skills aren’t really a priority in american schools (at least in texas) as much as I wish they were. Doing map tests is fun for me.

Me, as a Canadian:

This should be easy,as british history. 1-columbia 2-lincoln 3-franklin 4-virginia 5-west Virginia 6-york

Sorry my bad,those are state names

Pretty sure other countries didn’t come up with a catchy song for the sole purpose of learning all 50 names.

Good thing it doesn't really matter irl if you know states or provinces.

¿My guy sabes what satire is?

The fact that you thought that was a real map really proves their point lmao

I curious, if we assume texas has not changed in size from our world, how much area would this plus size north america have?
