Some guy will post a picture of a pretty standard looking pepperoni pizza and say: "Imagine not living in new york." And then there's the whole bodega discourse, which is also funny. "For you non-new yorkers, let me explain: a bodega is not a corner store. It's a place where you can buy gatorade, toilet paper, AND eggs." Thank you sir for explaining that to a slack-jawed yokel such as myself.

      Yeah, Americans are bizarrely insulated. They really do think that the northeast quadrant of their town has a completely different culture from the northwest quadrant of their town, but of course those cultures are slightly more similar than the culture of those goddamn southwest quadrant motherfuckers.

      The people in the next city over may as well be from Jupiter.

        I've heard Americans unironically claim that American states are more different from one another than European countries.

        Yeah buddy, some places call soda "pop" and that's more difference than between Poland and Portugal.

        If you live in Florida this is pretty likely
