So it's blurred, but I definitely see the matching hue of Florida and Canada, which I'm interpreting as meaning the two are one in the same. I'm cool with being Canada's shorts if y'all are willing take that shit show off of our shoulders!

Florida is absolutely North America’s penis.

[–] Awkwardly_Frank@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I enjoyed living in Florida, and I'm moving back, but I can confirm that they are both visually,and societaly, North America's dong.

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

florida's a miserable oozing pustule on the cock of the earth. no seasons, no landscape, only assholes, mosquitos, asshole mosquitos, and tourists going to either disney or one of the shitty florida beaches with no waves, only red tide and scientologists. and enjoy the 95+ heat when a hurricane knocks your power out for 3 days.

and despite being completely flat with nothing but the most boring straight roads anywhere, nobody knows how the fuck to drive. seriously wtf

fuck florida. there's no amount of money anyone could pay me to live there again

[–] Awkwardly_Frank@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Coincidentally my problem is, in fact, that no one is paying me.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 6 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Why would you move to Florida?

[–] Awkwardly_Frank@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Cheap rent with a friend and the ability to move right back out again. I was laid off recently just as I was about to move for work and the choices were be homeless in LA, be homeless in Dallas, or move back into my old room in Jacksonville.

Ah yes, the eternal, ultimate reason to move to a shithole.

[–] delirious_owl@discuss.online 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Possibly a strong urge to get shot by the police

[–] Awkwardly_Frank@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah,I'm not gonna lie, I'll enjoy the chance to march with the Northside Coalition again.

While Sweden is Europe's. But don't worry, size is not all that matters.

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Wait, so is Europe about to slap the UK across the face? Why did you guys line it up like that.

Also, what does this mean about me liking Salmiakki, the pungent salty candy from Finland?

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I live in South Carolina and I absolutely love salmiak lol anyone I've ever convinced to try it has hated it though πŸ˜”

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

You could try introducing them to the liquor first - while people may shudder when eating a non-sweet candy people tend to be a lot more open to salty drinks.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 4 months ago

One day Russia will be normal and maybe I can make anatomical sense of that.

yeah, europe has so few terrible festering diseases. like you're not even trying.

yes but could we please let it not be canadas? there are canadians I actually like.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Omg I'll move to Japan first.

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

That’s because of all the snowbirds

The backside of Arizona looks similar

[–] alquicksilver@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

That was my thought, too.

Alternately, I'd consider re-accepting the weiner into our pants if we could get some of that socialized heath care.

The land may belong to the US, but Florida is filled with Canadians. Mostly old white Canadians who lean hard right.
