As someone who has spent time in all three states, Mississippi and Alabama are worse than Florida. There are parts of Florida that are just as bad as the bad parts of AL and MS, but there are also parts of FL that have positive aspects. AL and MS not so much.

If you're saying Alabama has no positive aspects you've clearly never been there. There are plenty of cities in Alabama that have a lot to offer.

In Alabama, if you leave your clothes at someone's house for over 7 days, you're considered commonlaw married.

Any wonder why Alabama is memed as the incest state? 🤔

In Texas, if you tell three people you're married, then you're legally married.

I wonder how many other states have crazy laws like this.

Lmao I hope this is a joke. I live in AL and I'll have some explaining to do to my gf...

[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I dunno, depends how long you've been together...

I guess they've changed their laws since 2016 at least. 🤷‍♂️

Florida only sounds worse than either because they're so public with their insanity. What goes on behind closed doors is always worse.
