Sadly, my countrymen tend to have this elitist pathology that makes them unbearably thick.

It is one of the reasons I very much wish for an end to American Hegemony.  (the UK got over its raging "privilege boner" nearly a century ago. Us in the US? Not so much...)   

That said, I can pretty much fill in all the spaces on a european map, and many/most of the spaces on an african or south american map.   Asia... Post USSR I just gave up. The area that was formerly Yugoslovia just changes borders too damn often to keep up with.

California, Florida, Texas, Alaska and Hawaii don't count. Now name and place five.

Funnily enough, I reside in a post-USSR country, although it isn't exactly close to any Southern Slavic countries. It's funny how you'd think people would care more to actually learn at the very least the names of every country considering that we as a human race only inhabit one planet and other countries are basically the only places around us that we can actually visit, and this extends to myself as well (I certainly couldn't name every country). It doesn't really make as much sense when I type it out this way, but if we view it from the eyes of someone who sees countries as an abstract concept they'd expect every human to know where each area is located. Maybe this is just incoherent babbling.

Just northward from Florida (which for arbitrary reasons we will exclude) you have Alabama on the west and Georgia on the east, Mississippi on the west of Alabama, South Calorina to the east of Georgia, North Carolina north-ward from South Carolina.

I was gonna post this in the WTF thread but I guess it could fit in here too.
...Except I didn't facepalm, because then I woulda got blood all over my face. Basically, I sliced open my finger at work today whilst trying to open the flavour sachets for some instant noodles without the aid of scissors because I couldn't find any. Whoooops. Much bleeding was had. I blame overtiredness.

It's because these are hyper-recognisable states that nearly everyone will be able to place. It's the equivalent of not being able to place Italy, Russia, or UK for Europe. The rest of the states are more on the level of not knowing Switzerland, Czechia, or Lithuania.

I'd also put New York there but I don't think that many people actually know what the state of New York looks like. It's kind of a weird state honestly.

South Calorina

Hah! On basis of this unfortunate typo I declare failure by technicality!

Sometimes, one has to suffer for noodles. It's just the price you have to pay.

Hm...? I'm... not sure what you mean? Here, I even have a legitimate list of states to prove it.

Carolina != Calorina

[Cathar]

I want to live in a world where "south calorina" is a slang for "big butt"

Also there was a better typo to make with Pennsylvania

Carolina != Calorina

I understand that, I was just making a joke based off the typo I made.

Pensiveania?

*attempts to make Calorina happen as a thing*

Have you heard of Brexit? Or Margret Thatcher? Or...

[TrickleJest]

Glorious Brexit. I think that's a good contender for one of the top facepalms of this thread.

Don't worry trickle I appreciated it

Or the recent inquiry by the UN. The UN is preparing to give a report in Geneva to the UN human rights council next year.

On that note comes the realization that I have now successfully derailed a thread made specifically so that I would stop derailing another, similar thread.

*facepalm*

I've accidentally closed my Steam, and the phone was grabbed by my mother, who went outside. Fucking hell, Steam, I simply wanted to sell my frigging cards.
