Some guy will post a picture of a pretty standard looking pepperoni pizza and say: "Imagine not living in new york." And then there's the whole bodega discourse, which is also funny. "For you non-new yorkers, let me explain: a bodega is not a corner store. It's a place where you can buy gatorade, toilet paper, AND eggs." Thank you sir for explaining that to a slack-jawed yokel such as myself.

From a non American, this seems to be how all Americans talk about their local places lol

Yeah, Americans are bizarrely insulated. They really do think that the northeast quadrant of their town has a completely different culture from the northwest quadrant of their town, but of course those cultures are slightly more similar than the culture of those goddamn southwest quadrant motherfuckers.

The people in the next city over may as well be from Jupiter.
