As a resident of "this part wouldn't be that tough", i disagree. The entire Cascade range extending from the top of the central valley to the top of Washington, extending out to the ocean, is very very rough, steep, heavily forested terrain that would be absolute hell to get any kind of equipment through if the locals were to blow up a grand total of three bridges on three separate highways.

Also, fat chance invading the USA from the Pacific. That's like trying to get through a chastity belt by putting your dick in the padlock.

you do conquer it but the locals keep trying to feed you organic, wild harvested, artisanal Amanita soup

Also I always like to point out that Oregon has more guns per person than Texas, most people assume Oregon = Portland.

As someone who lives in the "wouldn’t be that tough." That's big talk for someone who likely doesn't want to spend their last moments desperately clawing at the roof of a pine box.

Minnesota is also missing the "wears shorts in winter" tag.

Happens all the time in negative degree weather.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

it hits -30f, you put on the shorts, the light hoodie, and you go out and get milkshakes.

That tag could probably be on the entirety of the North. From Michigan

why democrats can't have guns?

[–] immutable@lemm.ee 25 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Plenty do. The thought that democrats don’t have guns is a stereotype. Being pro gun control and being a responsible gun owner are compatible.

[–] 33550336@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Fully agree,

[–] realtegan@lemm.ee 10 points 3 days ago

Democrats have guns. They just don't worship their guns, display them like phallic symbols, or make a big deal of having them like conservative nutsos do. So there's a ridiculous stereotype that Democrats don't have guns and want to take guns away that conservative nutsos use to terrify their base into voting against responsible gun ownership laws.

I'm far more afraid of the Nazis in Baton Rouge running this state than I am of Acadians hunting out in the swamps. Just don't go in the swamp! The Nazis are actively making life worse whether you seek them or not.

[–] Chanceschaos@lemm.ee 10 points 5 days ago

As an Acadian I totally agree.

I know that's probably not what was meant, but I'm reading "seals" as the animals, and the image is glorious.

You forgot about the Illinois Nazis.

I hate Illinois nazis.

Ah yes, those dangerous gangs of San Louis Obispo in California are really getting out of hand!

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

I think they're trying to reference LA and don't realize how far south it actually is.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago (6 children)

Texas should just say "Guns".

North Dakota should probably be "no civilization, no resources, and no warmth."

[–] pixelscript@lemm.ee 9 points 5 days ago (11 children)

Hey now, we have some resources. Like... uh... hotdish?

Why are you walking away, weren't you invading?

May Florida Man protect us.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

The Pacific Northwest would be horrible to invade. Even if the people don't offer much resistance trying to get through the Rocky Mountains would be disastrous. But they actually have militias out there too.

Lol, I do wear shorts in winter. We have a lot of guns up here too. Probably more guns than people.

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 12 points 5 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

Florida man would be the ultimate defender of an invasion, cause he's too stupid to know when to die

[–] sulgoth@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago (2 children)

To crazy to stop, to stupid to die.

Feels like a b movie tag line

"That still know the old ways"

A friend and I took an out-of-state friend to a bar and we ordered moonshine. My friend and I could not get over how wrong it felt to buy moonshine in a public place. With a permit.

I'm still surprised you can buy it legally.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 19 points 5 days ago (6 children)

That ain't moonshine.

Moonshine is what you get from a shady hillbilly type off the side of a dirt road sitting in a shack with two shotguns on a wall. You ask him if he got any and he says something like "not fur free" with an almost toothless smile. He's got horrible hair a stringy beard, and you get the sense he's the kind of guy who don't wash his hands a lot.

You give him the money first, then he takes a shotgun and walks behind the shack. He hands you the two gallons you bought, one in one of those plastic gallon jugs you get milk in and the other a weird looking metal pot that doesn't look close to a gallon but you realize it's probably best not to argue with this guy.

He pulls out a metal cup and another jug (that he left behind under the table he was at to get your stuff) and says "firs ones on me" pours you some, and you better fucking take it.

Yeah, there's a real risk that this stuff might have less safe alcohols in it, but these guys don't wanna die so it's usually safe so you take the swig and regret everything that lead you up to this point as you cough down the highest proof corn and something else liquor you've ever had.

You politely tell him thank you and he gives you that grotesque smile as you drive away.

To be fair, the term β€œmoonshine” nowadays doesn’t exclusively refer to illegally produced liquor and is often used to describe non-barrel-aged whiskey made from corn.
