    incest needs to span further upward i think, but other than that it’s a surprisingly accurate depiction of the US lolol

    I’ll have you know Louisiana has nearly double the alligators of Florida, and Florida legally allows marriage between first cousins. So boom.

    To be fair, the incest is probably a bit more widespread than that. Also, potentially more popular in Appalachia than around that area. I think eastern Kentucky/West Virginia has the highest rates of inbreeding than any other part of the country, at least that’s what some other guy on the internet commented, so that’s a fairly trustworthy source.

    This probably gives Europeans too much credit.

    As a European who doesn’t know much about the states: This is pretty accurate. I would exchange gators for florida man and I don’t know what the cars and crime one is but otherwise it’s spot on.

        Ah, I have heard of Detroit from probably some movie but I didn’t know it was associated with cars or crime.

          I think it went cars -> crime -> house techno (in that order). Am also not American but maybe know a bit more than most. I was expecting great lakes in that blue part.

            cars -> crime -> house techno

            House music has its origins in Chicago. Techno music has its origins in Detroit.

            Though the words are unfortunately being used almost interchangeably by unknowing people today, the genres are historically very different in terms of both technology, culture and other regional circumstances.

            Yes, they do indeed musically have some elements in common, but even to this day, after years of evolution and borrowing of ideas, the two movements are still very different to each other, attracting different crowds, and the sum of the general sound of techno+subgenres is much different to that of house+subgenres.

            To some people, everything with a 4/4 kick is the same. To me, it’s like not differentiating between e.g. reggae and funk, or rock and disco. However, I understand why so many get it wrong, because most people around them do the same. I just thought I’d let you (and other people) know.

          Detroit was the setting of RoboCop. Crime was pretty bad there in the 70s/80s. It’s much better now and the city is turning around.

          However, worth noting that Detroit is in the lower peninsula of Michigan, and the blue “cars & crime” part here is the upper peninsula, which is basically super rural and low crime. I suspect this was done intentionally, lol.

          Yes, GM and Chrysler are still big employers in the city. Ford is still headquartered in nearby Dearborn.

          Michigan has more automotive manufacturing facilities than any other state, nearly 1,000 if you count all the suppliers and distribution hubs. And despite Stellantis now being French-owned and abandoning their headquarters, Ford and GM are still present with many dozens of facilities as well as their respective HQs.

          Next closest is Ohio with only 600.

      Give about 3/4 of the New York section to Incest, and it’s closer to reality. New York doesn’t make it across the Appalachian mountains, but Incest extends north at least to the Ohio river.

    The incest region needs to be way larger and be labeled incest/religious nutcases. Rest is pretty much spot on.

      Honestly, Religious Nutcases literally run the House of Representatives rn so maybe a little more widespread than we’re giving credit for.

        That’s really only because the U.S. government is set up all stupid to give the religious nut jobs over-representation. The House is capped at 435. It should be way bigger so bigger states with bigger populations had significanrly more represtatives than the tiny ones.

          Also abolish the Senate or remove them from legislative duties. They exist to preserve wealth and the current power structure.
