Alaskans and Hawaiians are incapable of forming bonds of friendship.
Washington and idaho as well apprently.
I am from Seattle.
Anecdotally:
This is correct.
People are absurdly transactional, performative and superficial about relationships and also very anti social compared to basically anywhere else I've ever been in the US.
I knew I liked Seattle for a reason.
... either you enjoy having no friends...
... or you enjoy superficial performative 'relationships' that are all actually adversarial social status jockeying?
It was a joke. I tend to be introverted, and I love the Seattle vibe.
Interesting. Can we have have at least a tiny bit of info how this data came to be?
Not just this one, but all the infographs, maps etc. Always leave entirely open if someone just guessed the data for the lulz.
This makes me a litte sad sometimes
So the map is more accurately titled "How American Twitter users refer..."
"White american male twitter users", according to the last paragraph
I could have not clicked that video. But I did. And I regret it.
I thought America was mostly NTSC
nice maps, homes!
what happened to man... as in hey man.
Can't afford the ticket. . . . BACK TO SUFFRAGETTE CITY
no bro’s in california?
whoever made this hasn’t been to anything out west
Seattle Freeze is REAL
As a Washingtonian, as usual, I’m glad to barely be represented on a heat map of something.
I love that New England doesn't show a preference for any of the choices. My theory: Boston throws off the curve with "asshole" and "fucker" and the data scientists didn't want to cover cursing.
Anybody use the word fucker as a term of endearment? "What's up, fucker?"
I was upset that Kentucky didn't have much coverage, but then I realized that "Hosscat" wasn't one of the choices.
Eastern Pennsylvania apparently has no word for Bros.
It's just a nod and a quickly whispered "Go Birds."
I'm apparently in the "Pal" region and it's not a word I use often to refer to people, nor have I heard it used often by others either.
We use "Dude" pretty often, but looking at the map you'd think this is a dude desert.
Further down the article this screen’s taken from, they show the raw data they got for “dude”, and its usage is pretty much everywhere.
Hypothesis: you can go to the Great lakes region and just make random noises and people will be like "hey, what's up?”.
West coast here. There’s also “man” and “guys.” I use those way more than “dude” lol
Been ‘dude’ for me as long as I’ve been alive.
People in Georgia and Washington State apparently don't have friends.
Liv3 WA, can confirm.
The large amounts of no-bro-zones scares me.
Damn, no representation for "babe", "bbgrl", etc? I use those a lot.
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
