Alaskans and Hawaiians are incapable of forming bonds of friendship.
Washington and idaho as well apprently.
I am from Seattle.
Anecdotally:
This is correct.
People are absurdly transactional, performative and superficial about relationships and also very anti social compared to basically anywhere else I’ve ever been in the US.
I knew I liked Seattle for a reason.
… either you enjoy having no friends…
… or you enjoy superficial performative ‘relationships’ that are all actually adversarial social status jockeying?
It was a joke. I tend to be introverted, and I love the Seattle vibe.
I do not understand how your joke works.
If you genuienly enjoy antisociality as a norm, because you tend to be introverted, then you just like Seattle because of that.
You would then not be joking, in the sense of sarcastically saying you enjoy something you don’t actually enjoy.
‘I knew I liked Seattle for a reason’ is then just the same as saying ‘Yup, I’m also anti social and I love it here’.
The ‘joke’ isn’t that you actually don’t like Seattle’s social norms and were being sarcastic, because you just said you’re introverted.
I honestly do not understand how this is a joke.
Is… just using the pithy/vague phrasing… in and of itself… the joke?
Well if it wasn’t funny before, it certainly is now after this dissertation…
I think you’re over analyzing some random throwaway line. It was immediately apparent to me that the commenter was being facetious.
Maybe joke was the wrong wording, but you are really digging deep for a throw-away line on an internet thread. I will try to explain since you took the time to write the essay.
One person says a line to talk down about something. “Seattle seems unfriendly.”
I say I agree, but I actually like the thing they don’t like. “I knew I liked Seattle”
That’s essentially it. I like the aspect of Seattle the other person didn’t. At best, other people like minded to me would read it and blow some air out their nose in agreement.
This sounds a lot like Miami.
Looks like Miami also does not have any specific vernacular for ‘friend’ on these maps, so… maybe if you just overlay all these maps and find all the deadzones, you’ve found the areas of antisociality?
Howzit, braddah?!
Same
People in Washington don’t refer to each others.
Exclusively as comrade (not pictured)
Interesting. Can we have have at least a tiny bit of info how this data came to be?
Not just this one, but all the infographs, maps etc. Always leave entirely open if someone just guessed the data for the lulz.
This makes me a litte sad sometimes
So the map is more accurately titled “How American Twitter users refer…”
“White american male twitter users”, according to the last paragraph
I could have not clicked that video. But I did. And I regret it.
Oh dear God…
I now need eye bleach, for my ears? 🌽

Thanks! I think it would be a great rule of thumb for lemmy to always include sauce and especially the sidefacts about the data that relativize it. (See other replies)
Less shiny maybe, but more real :)
Haha, I do quick dumps. Maybe when I have more time, but in the meantime you guys usually pull through digging around, and you usually find some extra cool stuff too. :)
So basically you’re doing the “don’t ask, just say something on the Internet to issue a challenge” method of learning stuff?
Sometimes, sometimes I am curious to know more too, sometimes I know things are right, sometimes I know they are wrong but it makes for good conversation… I pick from the meme firehose (feeds) ones I know will make for interesting threads. It is a vibe. It does not take me long to get the memes, so it is a fun passive thing. I do this for fun too. :) It is also why I insist that we use “meme” in the Dawkins sense (see sidebar).
Sometimes its a fine line between infographs and memes. Sometimes it isn’t
Anybody use the word fucker as a term of endearment? “What’s up, fucker?”
Ah, you must be from the North East.
Or south Florida
I’m an anomaly. I’ve lived almost everywhere.
We prefer “What’s up fuckface?”
Northeast US left off because they just say “Yo asshole”
It’s how real america emotes
I love that New England doesn’t show a preference for any of the choices. My theory: Boston throws off the curve with “asshole” and “fucker” and the data scientists didn’t want to cover cursing.
Masshole.
New England always on top, in our own way; confusing to those who aren’t from around here.
I thought America was mostly NTSC
no bro’s in california?
whoever made this hasn’t been to anything out westBruh
Touche
The most glaring thing I saw too. I lived a large chunk of my life in So Cal and everyone was bro.
thanks bro… dude is definitely popular, but bro has been pretty dominant….
i will say it’s gone down ever since “bro” became derogatory… like tech-bro and other bullshit….
Doesn’t seem to count genz online slang

So there’s PAL, where’s NTSC, and SÉCAM?
angry analogue arrow up depress
nice maps, homes!
I love that Ohio is purple in all of these
Don’t forget “guy” and “chief”.
they forgor 💀
As a Washingtonian, as usual, I’m glad to barely be represented on a heat map of something.
Hypothesis: you can go to the Great lakes region and just make random noises and people will be like "hey, what’s up?”.
Seattle Freeze is REAL
