This is so ridiculous and absurd it HAS to be satire. Either that or Poe's Law got me. This just seems too hyperbolic and flippant to be somebody being for real and genuine

Ragebait used to be believable 🥀

the homogeneity is mindblowing

I can't stand when I get somewhere in the US in geoguessr because 80% of the country looks identical

You can do this with Europe too

I was messing around with a steetview app one time and I was pretty fascinated by the fact that basically anywhere on the globe, clicked at random, looks incredibly similar to somewhere that I've been. Click randomly in Ukraine, "huh, I've definitely been on country back roads in the US that look basically just like this." Click a spot in Kazakhstan, I've seen places in the Midwest that look pretty similar. Click something in a more tropical spot in search of something altogether different, "you know I've been to some coastal towns that look a lot like this." Click a spot in a French mountain range, "This doesn't look all that different from parts of the Rockies."

It brings to mind one of my favorite quotes:

“If I have one message to give to the secular American people, it’s that the world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same.”

• Marjane Satrapi

People who don’t understand sarcasm will get genuinely mad about this post, and I’m here for it

Funnily enough, “Check Republic” is the exact thing Americans should do

I have been (for longer than a couple of months) in Tampa, New Orleans, LA, they are different but all speak American English Tampa & New Orleans feel older, and out West does feel different.

The highway system is federal and those interstate roads all do look the same.

And all of the medium sized cities do have some road (here in Tampa it's Dale Mabry) that you could pretty much plop down into any other medium sized city, switch them without anybody noticing. Miles of strip malls. Impossible to cross safely on foot.

This is so unfair. There are NUANCES and DIFFERENCES between the states!

For example, the billboards in Illinois have a washed-up football player advertising a hair regrowth product, while the billboards in Indiana are for strip clubs, weed dispensaries in other states, and telling you hell is real.

One thing I particularly hate is that they call the USA "America", as if the only thing that exists in America is the USA (when Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Cuba, Haiti, Aruba, Curaçao, and many more, those are all American countries).
