It's a play on the joke that everybody hates living in Ohio. I have never lived there but I can confirm that everyone I've ever met who has been there has the same reaction

I grew up in Ohio, and can confirm that it sucks in every way, including the people. Anyone with any self-respect or empathy for their fellow humans leaves Ohio. Everyone that stays, sucks. Awful place, with awful people.

fun fact, ohio has the highest number of astronauts per capita. something about it really makes you want to leave the planet

Ohio is a great state to leave.

It also can be read like "they belong in Ohio and no where else"

I go there for the theme parks every once in a blue moon and literally nothing else. I’ve never seen an interesting looking town when driving through. It’s like every town is a stop outside a bigger city that isn’t there. Even the “big” cities never really feel bigger than a typical random American town.

Of course when you’re actually there it’s not that exaggerated, but this is the vibe I get from the state. But it’s not like any of the surrounding states have wildly positive reputations to compare against. So at the end of the day, it’s just a very unremarkable state with not much to do. There are worse reputations.

I visited Cincinnati many years ago for work and found it to be a surprisingly beautiful hilly city with some interesting views in spots.

Didn't the river there catch on fire? More than once?

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 15 minutes ago

That's the Cuyahoga River, that runs through Cleveland, on the Lake Erie coast. It last burned in the 70s, but it has improved greatly, due to the closing of many of the steel factories that used to be upriver.
