Other than the upper peninsula lol

[–] TheAmishMan@lemmy.world 43 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yea not sure what's up with the upper peninsula. I feel like it's someone who actually knows Michigan and just wants to irritate Michiganders

[–] dreadgoat@kbin.social 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Could still be a real European perspective. I've found a lot of people who are only casually familiar with North America will be able to tell you the broad cultural strokes and then one or two bizarrely specific facts. Like, "Oh yeah, America is all New York, Texas, California, Florida, and who could forget the iconic Egyptian Theatre of Boise, Idaho."

It could be yes, but generally people forget the upper peninsula exists instead of mistake it with the lower peninsula

Michiganders are like, "they sorta heard of me!" 😍

It's Pure Michigan.

Those are UPers (Youpers) up there though.

Pasties and Caribou are all that exists past the Mackinaw Bridge.

Anybody who's seen 8 Mile or Barbarian knows about Michigan. 😉

[–] Im14abeer@midwest.social 5 points 1 year ago

Michiganders, Yoopers and Trolls both.

[–] GhostsAreShitty@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Right? More like "pasties and trees."

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think they think that’s where Chicago is

[–] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cars & crime would probably be Detroit though, wouldn't it?

[–] LetKCater2U@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

It’s definitely Detroit.

Nope! Incest should be bigger

You are missing out

Modt of New York should actually say “cheese”

[–] Lophostemon@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

I think “squawk !” would be more appropriate.
