Is this about a guy wanting to do his cousin?

    Yes and the guy at the bottom is a famous "geo guesser" that tries to pinpoint the location of street view pics from minimal information. So he pinpointed the original poster to "Alabama" because they be fuckin their cousins a lot there i guess. (i assumed its Alabama without looking at a USA map)

    alabama's rep so bad there are more people that know they fuck their cousins than there are people who know where alabama even is.

    I don't think that's all that surprising, really

    Just a great example of non-Americans getting a taste of "what, you don't know what state this shape is? What are you, stupid?" That they like to give us for not recognizing the shape of Lichtenstein on a map

    Okay but like, how could you miss Lichtenstein? As long as it's in scale, you should be able to know it's the smallest country on the continent and go from there.

    You're correct, that is Alabama. A good method for differentiating it from Mississippi is that Alabama has mostly straight borders and Mississippi has a long wiggly border (the Mississippi river). Not sure if that's actually helpful but it's how I remember them.

    Eh i dont think there is any value in remembering stuff like that, especially if you are not from the US. But thanks for the explainer :)

    The only reason we americans need to know this is to make sure we never accidentally end up going there.

    Yep. Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, and most of Georgia (Atlanta is pretty different, thus is better).

    I'm from the south and have been to a quite a few of those states (and the ones I haven't been to, their reputation precedes them). I say this because I wouldn't really recommend visiting them. Georgia is a pretty good example, as most of the state kinda sucks, outside of Atlanta and maybe Savanna. A lot of these states are just really poor, and it drastically affects their living standards and the people who live there. They might not be a complete monolithic block, but they're similar more often than not.

    The American Gulf States and the Appalachian Region that parallels the East Coast up to about Maryland/Pennsylvania has a reputation.

    To be honest, historically I could see it. It was mostly tiny towns, stuck way out in the middle of nowhere, with teenagers that had very few options. As they've gotten more centralized though it doesn't happen nearly as often as it used to happen.

    It's also why there exist no laws on marrying your cousin.

    Because that was keeping the gene pool fresh enough I guess

    Some places don't allow your first cousin. But that's actually okay science wise. The probability for issues after the first cousin rapidly declines.

    Heheheheheh

    That reminds me of a little story that I like to share. I always knew a person's sexuallity wasnt a choice. At the time I didn't even know there was such a thing as non- heterosexual relationships (because America). I can pinpoint the exact moment I knew I was straight because 11 year old me, my younger brother, my mom, and an older 2nd cousin (probably one of her parents or aunts/uncles) went to a river to swim and dig up crayfish.

    Anyway, my second cousin wore her normal clothes down there, which I was sort of disappointed about and I didn't know why. We get to the river she drops her bag and what I watched her do after that dropped my jaw and I froze staring at her until she got in the lake. She stripped off her shorts and shirt had on a revealing (ok, well to an 11 year old who never noticed before) green and blue bikini. I had no idea I was frozen or that my entire family was snickering as I stared at a girl 4 or 5 years older than me gawking at something I was now noticing a lot. The story goes that after this, my mom had to "remind me I was still in the street" and I just sat on a rock at the River edge trying to talk to her. I then made it really important that I got to hang out with her the rest of that family reunion.

    At one point my little brother broke one of his braces wires and she was all ready to help him - she ran to her room with the little wax balls you put on the ends to stop them from poking you. Thing is the wire was a bit further back in his mouth. So I switched back into bewildered staring and jealously watched her carefully craft this tiny ball of wax into his mouth with her immaculate hands. I apparently got really pissy with my brother after that for getting all the attention.

    Anyway. Yeah. Seemed pretty obvious to me that I did not get to choose who I was attracted to.
