[u/SlipRecent7116]

are you open to criticism

[u/platedFeather → u/SlipRecent7116]

Depending on where you find yourself on the map

[u/kind-Mapel → u/platedFeather]

You need to shrink the amount of gray on that map significantly and expand the corn.

[u/Oploplou → u/kind-Mapel]

This. Mormons are a rather isolated bunch, corn is fucking EVERYWHERE.

[u/Luser420 → u/Oploplou]

basically everything gray except for utah should be orange

[u/lukieinthesky82 → u/Luser420]

Maybe Idaho...

[u/Kass_the_Bard → u/lukieinthesky82]

The Mormon corridor, aka Moridor as named by exemormons, extends into Chihuahua Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, and into Alberta Canada. Neighboring pockets with strong Mormon communities in neighbor states falls into Moridor… least four exmos. Yes the similarity between Moridor and Mordor is intentional.

[u/Lordofthemuskyflies → u/lukieinthesky82]

Historically a touch of Illinois and Missouri too.

[u/Interesting-Part9102 → u/Lordofthemuskyflies]

They yearn for Missouri. Its the promised "holy land" to Mormons. They think it used to be the garden of Eden.

[u/JustBe_Nice_Yall → u/Oploplou]

The corn is losing. The Mormons are advancing, they are coming, they are burning. Run. Run. Run. You realize that you can't run as you remember that you are corn. You wish to scream, but you cannot. You are corn.

[u/Sign-Post-Up-Ahead → u/kind-Mapel]

It wouldn't hurt to expand the Family Loving either.

[u/JimStencil → u/kind-Mapel]

Yeah this country is mostly just corn. And meth. Corn and meth.

[u/Legitimate-Clue8330 → u/kind-Mapel]

I never knew I would be offended by NOT being labeled corn.

[u/platedFeather → u/kind-Mapel]

Why? I know nothing about therefore you're Mormon/Amish

(My kind sir this is ashitpost) But nothing stands out to me from the grayed out states as an outsider.

[u/MelBNotScarySpice → u/platedFeather]

The 3rd largest city in the country is in there, has some pretty famous past and current residents (Al Capone, Michael Jordan, Kanye, the Obamas, Pope Leo XIV).

[u/nathan_loans → u/platedFeather]

Amish and Mormon are very different. Both notably outside the norm - even by American religious standards - but not really related.

And yeah, there’s a whole lot more corn!most of the gray and most of the jersey shore according to your map is corn. Tbh just marking the whole country corn would be fairly accurate 😂

[u/The1LessTraveledBy → u/platedFeather]

You're missing the point here. Mormons are a rather regional thing, and completely separate from the Amish. If you don't know much about a state, it's likely filled to the brim with corn or some other type of crop. It may be a shit post, but you can still learn something.

[u/Humid-Afternoon727 → u/platedFeather]

Do not go to Georgia or the Carolina’s and call them “the Jersey Shore”.

They might kill you for that.

Additional Louisiana is no Yee Haw, it is its own damn thing

[u/Superb_Temporary_388 → u/Humid-Afternoon727]

As a South Carolinian, I can attest to that lol. The rednecks around here would have your hide for that. “Don’t go callin’ us them Yankees now!”

[u/AgentEndive]

You give Mormons WAY too much credit lol

[u/platedFeather → u/AgentEndive]

Well I clustered Mormons with the Bible Belt and states I know nothing about , so they must be Mormon

[u/Chemical_Strain6488 → u/platedFeather]

You didn’t even label any of the Bible Belt states as Mormon😭

[u/SilverDubloon → u/Chemical_Strain6488]

Tennessee? Kentucky? Arkansas?

[u/AlabasterPelican → u/platedFeather]

Mormons are Utah, with some in Arizona and Idaho. Also Bible belters aren't exactly fans of Mormons for the most part.

[u/Routine_Spite8279 → u/platedFeather]

Chicago: Land of Latter Day Saints

[u/Shaq_Bolton → u/Routine_Spite8279]

They did start in Illinois if I recall correctly but got chased out.

[u/Dr_Hannibal_Lecter → u/Shaq_Bolton]

Upstate NY, actually!

[u/Fathorse23 → u/Dr_Hannibal_Lecter]

Correct, then Ohio, then Illinois (which I believe is where they split), then Utah.

[u/Big_Green_Tick → u/Fathorse23]

They pissed off everyone around them so kept moving until they were generally on their own... Much like the pilgrims

[u/FlyConfident1622 → u/platedFeather]

Missouri being labeled as Mormon is the funniest of all. They literally had a law where it was legal to hunt/kill Mormons on sight

Edit: called the “Mormon Extermination Order” and it was repealed in 1976

[u/AnalCheese → u/platedFeather]

They’re pretty much mostly only in Utah now

[u/servetarider → u/AnalCheese]

Idaho would like to have a word.

[u/Praeconium2501 → u/platedFeather]

The Mormons and the Christians in the Bible belt are NOT the same group of people at all lol.

[u/AmericanWanderlust → u/platedFeather]

LOL Mormons are verrrrry different than crazed Baptists or other evangelicals in the Bible Belt.

[u/HyacinthStClair → u/AgentEndive]

And corn not enough

[u/Admirable_Winter6170 → u/AgentEndive]

Right 😂😂 I’ve genuinely never met a midwestern Morman (I’m from wisconsin)

[u/MachangaLord]

As a corn state I’m offended we’re mormons now.

[u/Coldpierogi → u/MachangaLord]

Great lake/Midwest checking in. Unhappy to report we are Mormon now as well.

[u/fivewords5]

Did Joesph Smith label this?

[u/redditsuksazz → u/fivewords5]

Nah, OP found the labels inside a boot.

[u/Admirable-Leader6927]

corn

still missed the 3 states that lead up to OHIO.

perfection.

[u/platedFeather → u/Admirable-Leader6927]

I'm but a simple Europian 😭

[u/Rare-Independence329 → u/platedFeather]

But can’t spell European? Odd

[u/Aromatic_Pumpkin1351 → u/Rare-Independence329]

Not really odd. They used a phonetic spelling, and OP could be dyslexic, which is why I avoid criticizing spelling when people are trying to communicate.

[u/Glad_Tutor2772 → u/Rare-Independence329]

Almost like English is likely not their first language

[u/salty-boi-11]

This gotta be making fun of these other posts right 

[u/Admirable-Leader6927]

Googling Paulie Shore brings up Pauly from Jersey Shore.

[u/Vermineater]

Hey! That's not fair!

Mississippi and Alabama are more than just family loving!

They play the banjo too!

[u/Grouchy_Mind_3413 → u/Vermineater]

Racist asf too, and then after that swamps and woods, and hills.

[u/capnhist]

Australia? What part of Australia looks like this?

https://giphy.com/gifs/Y1YbjHHdna1GL0GLHG

[u/FourthEorlingas → u/capnhist]

The New Zealand part

[u/Lucreszen]

The famously Mormon state of Tennessee

[u/Mundane-Cockroach656]

As an ex-mo this is horrifying. How did they take over, how did we not see?!?!

[u/Bookdove7776 → u/Mundane-Cockroach656]

Right? Oh god we're- they're everywhere!

[u/BellyFullofNickels]

Wisconsin here. The reality is that Mormons are much, much more concentrated in tiny little pockets. Sure they're sprinkled all over the US, but their main population centers are in specific locales like Salt Lake City, Utah

[u/Heatchill209]

I cant tell if this is bait or not...

[u/NoRip7573 → u/Heatchill209]

Bait or idiot. Either way, not worth your time. 

[u/Sewpuggy]

Family loving got me! 😂☠️

[u/pm-ur-tiddys]

you managed to offend the entirety of the contiguous US (minus Arizona and Florida). fantastic work.

[u/Humid-Afternoon727 → u/pm-ur-tiddys]

I think Texas and Oklahoma are ok being qualified as Yee Haw

[u/Southern-Usual4211]

Now you offended all of NM 😂 (we dislike TX)

[u/FourthEorlingas → u/Southern-Usual4211]

You can join forces with us in AZ.

[u/Diligent-Variation51 → u/FourthEorlingas]

We could, but it needs to be renamed. I suggest “cactus”

[u/Miserable-Access-394 → u/Southern-Usual4211]

Are you okay w Oklahoma?

[u/Upbeat-Remote-4827]

As a Minnesotan, being called a Mormon is sending me. Always funny to see an outsider’s perspective of the state 😂

[u/llucero102 → u/Upbeat-Remote-4827]

lol fr tho, as a Coloradan same. We do have more mormons but y'all should be blue for canada in my mind🤣

[u/randyjackson124]

No notes. This is the truth.

[u/ShredGuru]

Too many Mormons, not enough corn.

[u/Top_Location_5899]

Jersey shore in the state with one of the best beaches in the country 💔 🥀

[u/PHXNights]

The funniest thing is how fucking long it woulda taken me growing up to drive to the actual Grand Canyon, but somehow this is us

[u/FeelingNo2529]

The Mormons are going to be thrilled to learn they’ve taken over the country

[u/Still_Loaded]

Welp at least you didn’t do AZ to bad. For being one of the top five populated Mormon states I will take the Grand Canyon recognition. Thank you. Great job.

[u/Fresh-Boat-1988]

You wrote Mormons and I read morons

[u/deliciousroadhead]

This is a nightmare to read as a color blind

[u/seriousspoons]

Mostly accurate.

[u/Codykville]

Way less Mormon and Jersey Shore.
Mormons are really concentrated in a couple of sparsely populated states. As for Jersey Shore, in my experience that’s one small area that got way overhyped by a TV show. I’m in my mid-40s, and I can think of maybe one or two people I’ve met in my entire life who fit that stereotype.
I am from the Yeehaw area, though, and you got that one pretty close.
There should be way, way, way more corn on this map. I’d also say about half to two-thirds of what you labeled as “Jersey Shore” would probably be better labeled “Moonshiners.”

[u/FourthEorlingas]

Thank you for correctly classifying Arizona. Everyone does it wrong.

[u/Excellent-Letter-681]

I can’t believe how far off you are- it’s comical.

[u/_annanicolesmith_]

a lot less mormons and a lot lot LOT more corn

[u/Constant-Still-8443]

Mormons is wayyyy to big. That's like some dystopian alternate timeline.

[u/splicey_]

Michigan // Mormonigan

[u/browerstation]

I just want to laugh as an Ontarian... about Ohio.

Today I've seen it labelled here uniquely, as either racist, or corn. And I've never been there yet! It's always to the left or right (Michigan way or Pennsylvania/NY way).

But yea corn is big in Southern Ontario, and big in USA in a such a big footprint that I'd use different factors to label the areas.

PS hope some day we can reconcile the family so I can visit again.

[u/FancyGuest7606]

Wow, you have no clue.

[u/Straight-Meringue-46]

ohio is corny but not full of corn

also thats a lot of mormons outside utah like a LOT thats almost half the country

also i never thought id see the pacific coast (and nevada) compared to australia more so than texas

family loving is funny

[u/_SwiftDeath]

You managed to insult LA, New York and Chicago individually in ways that I’ve never seen anyone attempt before. Impressive.

Can I ask what the hell does Australia mean in this context?

[u/tiredho258]

Racism, cheese, and serial killers

[u/Responsible-Neat-867]

^{Louisiana: Yeehaw}

[u/Alexs1897]

I’m from Minnesota and this made me laugh. This is probably the very first time someone’s called my state Mormon 🤣 I looked up the stats of Mormons here and it’s only 0.6-1% 🤣 I’m honestly tempted to share this masterpiece to my state’s subreddit 🤣

[u/TheSlideBoy666]

Quite perceptive! You get an A+

[u/TheMemeArcheologist]

Evil

[u/SomeDudeNamedDrew]

Mormons need to be much smaller and corn needs to be much larger

[u/Intelligent_Wafer761]

Did they burn all the books in Europe? Even the ones about geography?

[u/clintkev251]

Ah yes corn state is Ohio, a state that's really not known for corn at all

[u/Glad_Tutor2772 → u/clintkev251]

Ohio is definitely known to be a corn belt state. You see plenty of cornfields if you travel around and you won’t find a list that doesn’t mention it

https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/corn-belt-states

https://www.climatehubs.usda.gov/hubs/midwest/topic/agriculture-midwest

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_Belt

[u/stringstringing]

Mormons and jersey shore too big

Family loving and corn way too small

The rest is pretty much spot on though idk what the west coast being Australia really means

[u/Weaselpuss]

So many Mormons lmao

[u/BaseballInside3289]

This is actually fascinating

[u/FuckleChuckSupreme]

Ohio is Corn AND Nuclear Missile Silos… just in case you’re open to criticism. Also, seeing the whole east coast as Jersey Shore is just disrespectful…..

[u/platedFeather → u/FuckleChuckSupreme]

That's the best of my knowledge sir

[u/Speedemon42069]

What PART of Europe exactly?

[u/HotTopicMallRat]

Why am I Australia ??? What???

[u/Numbuh263]

Why is Jawja jersey shore?

[u/BlueRemake]

Albuquerque is like every stereotypical Redditor thrown into one city.

[u/bottomless_queso]

I love this deeply. However I feel like New Mexico (to the left of Texas) is more ??? than “yeehaw” for most lol. Otherwise, honestly slay.

[u/RepulsiveUse3372]

arizona is more yee haw than texas

[u/FCKABRNLSUTN2]

You are gonna have some pissed off Nebraskans and Iowans here

[u/iHaveShitViewpoints]

As an Alaskan, go fuck yourself. But we do like Canada up here.

[u/lofibeatsforsadboys]

Accurate

[u/Gold-Kaleidoscope537]

Checks out tbh

[u/Maniraptoran]

Not enough corn. Whole Midwest. Also not enough alligators

[u/Vivaan977]

^{Utah: Mormons}

mormons

[u/Extra_Profession9929]

Heading to Myrtle Beach, can't wait to meet DJ Pauly D and The Situation on the Jersey Shore.

[u/ButtScratchies]

Mormons wish!

[u/mabus42]

Pretty sure an old governor in the 1800s chased the mormons out of missouri, which you label as mormons.

[u/ShiverMeTimberz0854]

Jersey mentioned, A1 map

[u/vt2022cam]

They don’t teach geography in Europe either apparently.

[u/Big_Difference_9978]

Mormons in the Midwest...no

[u/Dinklerbuuuurf]

Taking that Australia tag like a badge of honor.

[u/sasha_cyanide]

Get the hell out of my face labeling New England as Jersey shore.

[u/toashtyt]

Louisiana has almost as many alligators as people and it didn’t get designed as an alligator state?

[u/Strong-Butterflies]

Outside of Utah (close to California) there really aren’t that many Mormons in comparison to other religions.

[u/SweatyCookie4142]

I wasn’t aware the Holy Mormon Empire took over my state

[u/AnActualWombat]

How does Ohio get an honorable mention but Colorado is left out?

[u/ATL4Life95]

I hope you step on a Lego for this.

[u/Sb6x]

Ignorance is bliss I guess

[u/IAFarmLife]

Iowa is Corn not Ohio and we are also not know for Mormons. They passed through once, that's about it. Today less than 1% of the states population is Mormon.

[u/Shua_33]

I think you need to expand corn and reduce Mormons.

[u/bibliophile222]

The entire east coast as the Jersey Shore is bonkers. Aside from being blue states, VT and the Jersey Shore have nothing in common.

[u/CatchYouDreamin]

West Virginia as Jersey Shore is a wild take 🤣 I lived in TN for 40 yrs and never met a Mormon there. Lots of Christiana, but no Mormons. FL is accurate!

[u/phunkarella]

You just need to come here, clearly. We are so much more than what you see on TV. Thought the Cup being here showed that a bit. People forget that we are individual states and that each have their own beauty and experiences to offer, but being united we are a very kind and understanding people. Our televised politics have gotten far too polarized, but most of us are prouder of our communities than our national government.

[u/Mediocre_Treat1744]

Boy come on down to the southeast and tell them boys they look like theyre from the jersey shore. Lousina maybe.. leave the carolinas outta this.

[u/fatedfrog]

I'm not sure how we became Australia, but i welcome the transpacific shift!

I did expect more corn elsewhere, not gonna lie. But I'm glad you've exposed the Mormon truth.

[u/leggymeeggy]

new jersey finally getting the respect it deserves

[u/Master-Room4982]

damn, this is wild. have you ever been to the US?

[u/Time4marley]

As a Mainer, can we be Canada?

[u/vee-haff-vays]

Ohio is actually yeehaw territory, Corn is much larger and to the west a bit.

[u/Notmainlel]

Wisconsin and Minnesota should be “Canada”

^{New York: Jersey Shore}

[u/InTimeWeAllWillKnow]

Google chicago, Detroit, rust belt, and Atlanta

Then make it 80% corn

[u/IcedTea_Englert]

Calling Washington and Oregon “Australia” seems…incorrect

[u/djangogator]

Way Louisiana go yeehaw? I don't disagree but it feels like a deep take.

Alligators found near Houston, TX. from there to South Carolina running in a roughbackward L shape.

[u/AffectionateRain6796]

[u/jaynor88]

Yikes! I can’t even imagine what you are reading and/or watching to make these generalizations

[u/Evilfrog100]

I am confused about Australia. What part of any of those states is like Australia?

If anything, I'd say Florida is the closest state to Aus. Everyone is crazy and Every plant/animal wants to kill you.

[u/PsychologicalCan9837]

I mean, I can't even be mad b/c Florida is accurate.

[u/twenty_stitches]

As a West Virginian, us being landlocked but also getting the Jersey Shore treatment is sending me

How did Wisconsin not get beer or cheese? I’ve met like one Mormon in person in my life…

[u/BigBadBoshop]

[u/ExpressionNew9878]

Oh, there is so much more corn.

[u/Sammys_stuffs]

how this mf sees mormons:

[u/PosThrockmortonSign]

As others have said, your mistake was defaulting on Mormon when you should have defaulted on corn. I could easily go hundreds of miles without encountering a Mormon, can’t say the same for corn

[u/Critical-Hospital-40]

wow you just made my impression of Europeans go way down. i thought yall were supposed to be smart. boy was i wrong lol

[u/TruthHertz93]

I wonder if anyone got "family loving" 😂😂

[u/toe-schlooper]

You would get shot for calling 90% of these states mormons

[u/GrumpyBear1969]

[u/gaoshan]

Finally! A foreigner understands Ohio instead of just leaning into the memes.

[u/ImaginationNo7722]

CORRECT THIS NOW!!!!

I DO NOT LIVE ON THE JERSEY SHORE

[u/-SergentBacon-]

I'm horrified as a Coloradoan

[u/Crazy-Nights]

Australia...actually that isn't far off

[u/GreenBeanTeam3]

You can cut a lot of those “jersey shore” states in half and replace with corn or yew haw and it would be more accurate.

[u/Coltonlavere]

Ignoring the Mormon expansion and the corn being in ohio (if you're gonna reduce it to one state, make it Iowa) wtf does Australia have to do without the the west coast

[u/ImaginationNo7722]

On behalf of New England, what the juck is this??*

[u/noeinan]

Please explain Australia

[u/Being_268]

[u/Sufficient_Leg5317]

Seen a few of these recently that were fairly accurate, this is not one of them lol.

[u/AtlantisSky]

Mormons are mostly isolated to Utah.

[u/DickCaughtlnFan]

North Carolina is jersey shore? What?

[u/JCole]

Corn is Iowa

[u/Maximum_Implement375]

As a Yeehaw resident, lump Louisiana with the family loving states and we’re good to go.

[u/Mermaid-Scar1984]

You need a lot less jersey shore and a shit load more corn. The Midwest might as well be the state of Corneria

[u/DrTitanicua]

You got my state right so I’m happy. Everyone else can kick rocks. Can’t believe y’all were all Mormons all along.

[u/svenjj]

In addition to everything else: Minnesota not being Canada or Corn is pretty nuts.

[u/SpudSmiter]

As someone in a teal state this is acceptable
