I always thought Ohio didn't exist but this seems to imply that maybe there's a black hole there instead. Tricking people into approaching it is just kind of mean.

[-] BakedCatboy@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 hours ago

The most demoralizing email I ever got was a recruitment ad for Applebee's saying "You Belong Here".

Okay but hear me out.

What if we all went to Ohio and conquered it?

[-] saaaaagard@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 10 hours ago

Then we'd have to live in Ohio. Why would we want to do that to ourselves?

Frankly Toledo belongs to Michigan and I'll die on that hill if I must.

It's all Ohio. As goes Ohio, so goes the world.

Read about the Republic of New Afrika

[-] lettruthout@lemmy.world 13 points 22 hours ago

Please explain why this is an attack.

[-] Transform2942@lemmy.ml 45 points 22 hours ago

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

[-] b3nsn0w@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

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

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 19 points 20 hours ago

Ohio is a great state to leave.

[-] morallysuperior@lemmy.ml 28 points 22 hours ago

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.

Cincinnati is "the medium place."

[-] b3nsn0w@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

afaik the original "they stole the porch" meme is from cincinnati too, detroit just stole it

[-] ronl2k@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

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?

[-] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 19 hours ago

Cincy is kinda crazy tbf. Jungle Jims is a trip everybody should make, even if its not in cincy "proper"

Adding to what others have said, it's generational slang:

https://www.merriam-webster.com/slang/ohio

Ohio is used (mostly on the Internet) to describe something that is weird, awkward, cringeworthy, or otherwise undesirable or bad in some way. It can also be used to mean "boring" or "foolish."

[-] dalakkin@lemmy.world 8 points 22 hours ago

They're trying to imply it means trans people belong in Ohio and not anywhere else

[-] UninterestingVoid@reddthat.com 5 points 21 hours ago

i feel like this might just be terrible phrasing but not like i would know.

I do think the quote tweet is meant as a joke and cheekily poking fun at the org for not being hip to youth culture and memes while on a platform that young folks might use. Although do they still use twitter? Even my old ass moved away from it after Elon bought it.
