@guinea_horn I have never stepped foot in the New World in my life, yet i can somehow locate 90% of US States on a map. Internet american brainrot syndrome (IABS)
NL's description of Canada is quite unironically how the government groups the nation as well, in terms of how it allocates funding and designs policy.
I’m from oregon and I frequently travel and visit the border between east Oregon and idaho and I come to say, I appreciate that he did not include idaho in the northwest. I feel like they would also rather it this way.
my rule of thumb is that if a state is shaped like something other than a sort of vaguely rectangular blob, you should probably know it. that does unfortunately result in michigan being a state you should know (shaped like a mitten) but it rules out a lot of the boring ones so i think it works
Pittsburgh is so midwest pilled its crazy, anyone who thinks otherwise just has a chip on their shoulder or some pride to get over. Our iconic Guy Type is goateed alchoholic who wears jersies to formal events and 2 of our culinary touchstones are different ways to cook potatoes
Counter point, as a man who lives in the dead zone of pennsyltucky there is so little going on for this area that emotionally I need the identifier of north east
If he divided stuff up a bit more into mountain states and doing something for the southwest would actually be a pretty legit map. My condolences to Hawaii.
Disagree. All of the regions he mentioned have a unique cultural export. The mountains have what? Skiing? So it snows a lot there? Mid west. I agree with the condolences to Hawai'i, but mostly because it should be it's own country untainted by the US. We should trade Hawai'i for Puerto Rico so we still have 50 states.
US map makes total sense- I do feel like he needs to include the southwest as its own region- desert part of the country like New Mexico Arizona Nevada and some of Colorado probably
For Australia: Sydney is the economic powerhouse, Melbourne is the cultural powerhouse. Sydney has the big name sights to see but Melbourne has all the events. Sydney is definitely New York right down to everyone outside of Sydney fucking hating Sydneysiders for being assholes and suits, and Melbourne is like a lot of California rolled into one, being up themselves, hipsters and hippies. Canberra is indeed just like Ottawa, its made to be a capital and it's boring. If you could give me any stereotype about Brisbane or Perth if be impressed, let alone any other Australian city Only thing if change with the US is add "retirement desert" to Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico with Las Vegas as a special zone cos Paradise is literally a special zone.
You could probably add the rust belt as its own region as well. Also as a born and raised Ottawan who has since lived in several cities and multiple provinces, Ottawa isn't that boring, it's just not on the same level as the major Canadian hub cities (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver). I'd probably put it somewhere in tier 2 with cities like Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, and Quebec.
Unexpected Montana mention in the fourth quarter!!! (The way you know a state is in the Midwest is if people get hyped about their state being mentioned)
I feel like I distinctly remember a time when Ryan wanted to make a point that he has no problem with cussing, and kinda blurted out the cursed phrase "c**t blisters" to drive it home. Anyone else recall this for some reason?
People commenting on this video saying the southwest is different from the midwest but the southwest is just where midwestern people go when they get old.
Western PA and western NY are very culturally similar to Michigan, northern Ohio, and the rest Great Lakes region. But I'd argue the Great Lakes region is pretty different than the true Mid-West states like Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas.
@@jacobcoates3942 Culturally, I think they’re pretty much identical. There are small distinctions that you would know if you lived in one or a few. You can put a gradient for Midwest characteristics and it’d intensify or lessen in each depending on characteristics. With Wisconsin being the apex midwestern stereotype state.
I live in Southern Illinois. Map is very accurate aside from Chicago. You’d struggle find someone from around here who has anything in common with someone from Chicago, but you’d find plenty who have traits from places like St. Louis/Indianapolis/Kansas City.
Chicago seems to get it from all sides, mostly from people who haven't lived or even been there. As someone who grew up in cornfield rural IL, and also lived in Chicago proper for 10 years, I don't understand what people think Chicago is like. Differences exist just by being a city certainly but it's still full of good Midwestern people with a real sense of community. Also the guy saying Chicago is California is a wild thing to say and makes me think they grew up in Naperville, but are saying Chicago or something.
@@jakepetropoulos1074I don’t think Chicago is much like California, even though i’ve only been to both places for only a few days. Chicago sort of reminds me of videos i’ve seen about London; very moist, dark streets with periodic fun things happening, some important history/museums, and a clear delineation between the “sides” of the city. We’ve got a giant bean, though, I bet the brits would kill to get that thing
@@opossumboyopublic transportation alone makes Chicago distinct from California. California is car country, Chicago depending on what areas you live you can go most of your life not needing a car
Okay, I've figured it out. NL is 100% correct with his US assessment. The Midwest section would just be broken down into small sections that are mostly just like the already notable ones, just less extreme/notable. Examples include: Chicago is Midwest NYC, Denver is Midwest PNW, Hawaii is ocean California, all the states east of Chicago are new England Midwest, all the states south of Ohio are south Midwest, southwest states are California Midwest, all the states east of the Dakotas are Texas Midwest, Alaska is PNW Midwest. The only one that I am having trouble with is the middle Midwest (the states around and including MN). I have home bias since I'm from Minneapolis/St Paul. If I had to put a label on it, north middle Midwest would be California Midwest.
I would have given chicago and detroit special perms for being the mid west metro area or something. Other than that pretty much spot on, from the perspective of a non NYC new yorker
Little bit of regional bias but I think his map is pretty close but I’d probably make a southwest carve out that contains essentially Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and at least the southern half of Utah. Desert people are just a bit more off kilter than typical midwesterners
1. Can somebody please explain the Gillian Anderson lampooning? I don't keep up with hollywood anything and the twitter jokes make no sense to me. 2. His map is pretty good for a foreigner. The midwest comments are just funny, but the only edit I almost require is that Appalachia (Central PA tracking southwest down to Eastern Tennessee) is definitely culturally distinct from everywhere else
Anything within about ~200 miles from Kalamazoo, MI is midwest. Outside of that you're either in New England, Appalachia, the south, Canada/psuedo-Canada, or the plains
I do think you should get Minnesota in there too but this kind of extremely narrow definition of the Midwest is one I vibe with. My personal one is essentially within 300 miles of Chicago (the capital of the midwest), get Ohio fully in, get the Twin Cities in, and get rid of any bit of Kentucky that sneaks in
@@Crantr0n Minnesota is really close, but I do think they kinda fit into a weird split of midwest and psuedo-Canadian. Same goes for northern Michigan & Wisconsin. So they aren't "true midwest" but there is some midwest in there. Kinda like southern Ohio. There's some midwest in there but also a ton of southern vibes as well. Same thing with Pittsburgh and being split with Appalachia
the only thing i take issue with is my personal belief that texas is not really south. south east is the real south. oklahoma is midwest of course, and the southwest is kind of a real thing. it doesn’t matter that much though
Just a few changes: Virginia south of Richmond is the "South". North of it is "Northeast". Add Appalachia to the map for West Virginia and Pennsylvania west of State College. Also, separate Midwest from "West" starting at Colorado, I guess. Plains people, don't @ me. There's only like 12 of you anyway.
No way, Sask is 100% Texas. It's comically flat as hell! Also Saskatchewan and Texas share the most similar biomes, and are almost equivalent with mass size on maps. What I do love though, is that Sask has more counties/municipalities than Texas does, despite having such a significantly smaller population! Idaho only has numbers in the double digits... they could never
This was good, except for calling Arizona and Nevada midwest. We're basically California-lite out here. Just call us California. And you could probably call Oregon and Washington State canada as well
as a midwesterner close to chicago i'm mostly fine with the map but i'd make two changes i'd make the south extend through arizona and new mexico (not too controversial) and i'd put alaska in the midwest (potentially controversial). hear me out: it's a cold wasteland where people do a lot of hunting, fishing, and drinking recreationally. that's midwest af
No way in hell is VA in the north east. I live in northern VA and spend a lot of time in upstate NY and the vibes of the two areas are night and day different. And the southern part of VA is even further removed from the north-eastern vibe.

actually drawing out his rants is the little bit of extra effort that makes the librarian the goat
when the blank map popped up I knew it was gonna be good
Why would he not draw canada? 😢 I already know those parts of usa lmao
Honestly, he was pretty accurate. Picking out NYC and not just New York state was a nice touch
HUGE graphic job here librarian
It makes the bit 7x better, like it turns from pretty funny to a greatest of all time already in the first half of January, it's so good
i really needed the canada map like you did the US map lol
Yeah I couldn't follow in my head. Stupid brain has no mental map for Canada whatsoever

It's pretty funny that as a Swede this is exactly how i group America in my head, apart from the north west.
As an american, i completely agree. Anything that isn't in one of the corners or texas is just one big grey blob.
Saying people from New Mexico and Arizona are the same culturally as people from Minnesota and Wisconsin is a wild take.
The disrespect to not even draw the Canadian map
my rule of thumb is that if a state is shaped like something other than a sort of vaguely rectangular blob, you should probably know it. that does unfortunately result in michigan being a state you should know (shaped like a mitten) but it rules out a lot of the boring ones so i think it works

you can tell by reading… melbourne hands typed this
the only edit i'd make is that the midwest-northeast dividing line should be lancaster, not philadelphia. other than that bro cooked
Almost correct. The NE does not claim Maryland or Virginia. They're their own special region as well.
You could probably add the rust belt as its own region as well. Also as a born and raised Ottawan who has since lived in several cities and multiple provinces, Ottawa isn't that boring, it's just not on the same level as the major Canadian hub cities (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver).
