Oklafuckinghoma. Heat, tornadoes, ice storms, earthquakes, hail and some of the dumbest, most entitled Jesus-humping maga fucks in the country.

Ohio, it's a statistical fact.

More people from Ohio have become astronauts than any other state/territory in the world

Because when youre an Astronaut you can get as far away from Ohio as humanely possible. No one else has that kind of motivation to complete the rigorous training.

Even before astronauts were a thing. Ohio inspired two men to invent airplanes, because they had already traveled to the East Coast by then, and couldn't run across the ocean to get further from Ohio. They had to adapt and learn to fly

The Ohio class nuclear missile submarine is named for its feared ability to turn any place in the world into Ohio

[-] mercano@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Most astronauts only go about 250 miles up, the distance from Cleveland to Cincinnati. That said, Neil Armstrong got a lot further away from Ohio.

Being a Browns fan will do that to you.

Mississippi and Alabama tend to compete for the worse state top spot

[-] skeezix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Mississippi is the anus of the USA.

[-] tyler@programming.dev 3 points 1 week ago

At least those have the ocean and Huntsville. Like poccalyps said, Oklahoma by far.

Misery. Wait, hang on, sorry, I spelled that wrong. Missouri.

Misery.

There is no universal, objective answer. It depends who you are, your financial situation, your political views, etc.

That said, the states that suck the most for the most people are conservative places with lots of rural poverty. Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Oklahoma, ...

Any state with a GOP supermajority.

Hey now, Kansas isn't so bad if you are white.

Oh wait.

Anytime related to the "South". West Coast is chill. East Coast is chill.

[-] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Too far down the east coast gets gross. What's your cutoff?

Personally, I'd say North Carolina.

[-] Beacon@fedia.io 5 points 1 week ago

"The East Coast" generally means the north east. "The South" is all the states in the south eastern corner of the country, including the coastal states down there

I think all states probably have ok cities in them somewhere, and that it depends on your preferences but I would never live in Alaska.

And all states have downsides too. Mississippi and Oklahoma have the worst schools. Florida and Texas have crazy politicians. Wyoming doesn't want you there. Colorado has angry ranchers and pretentious yuppies. California has Bakersfield.

[-] memfree@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

Alaska. Remote, expensive, so cold your car's tires freeze with the flat spot they had while you were parked so you thump thump thump down the graveled roads until they stretch out, and to paraphrase @poccalyps, 'ice storms, earthquakes,... and some of the dumbest, most entitled Jesus-humping maga fucks in the country.'

Polar bears, for one. Their politicians for two.

[-] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago

Any of them that make up the southern border. They are almost unilaterally shitholes that would cut off their arm if it meant the "right" people suffer.

[-] negativenull@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Leave New Mexico of that list. While not perfect, they sure have been knocking it out of the park recently. It's stunningly beautiful too

Well I can say from experience that after 2 decades of it you just feel "normal" because depressed has become your normal!

[-] meco03211@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

My smart watch likes to remind me frequently that I had a "stressful" day and to try to do better tomorrow. I'm like "bitch this is my baseline. Lower your expectations."

right now, to the rest of the world it would seem that it’s the contiguous united ones…

[-] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

State of Emergency. Because its either Zeus/Poseidon being mad at us (aka: Hurricanes), or it's martial law... and that means they're rolling in the tanks, it would be 100x worse than even the darkest day of the current US admin so far.

[-] ileftreddit@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

Almost certainly Mississippi
