Pennite

Or as @Wood-Ape - OK/MN said last night; Super Pennsylsaiyan

I like this map because of the illustrations

And also because the names are antiquated and nobody uses them anymore except for a few

Gold Hunter. That is the reason we migrated here from Vermont.

@Sherman Hardcastle - CA That’s actually based as heck

Real life gold panning ancestors

I was obsessed with the California gold rush as a kid

The adventure, the gold, the danger

Are you sure that chart doesn't depict nicknames of *pigs* in those states?

Yes

Lol

Puke, whelp, bug eater. Hard to imagine being chill with those nicknames lol

“The five sobriquets by which Kentucky is designated are: the *Blue Grass State*, the *Corn-cracker State*, the *Dark and Bloody Ground State*, the *Hemp State*, and *the Tobacco State*.”

Ha, thanks my family helped settle the city of Stockton. They are listed as pioneers in the city records. They traveled by boat to Nicaragua and traveled across the country by foot where a boat arrived to take them to SF. Three brothers. Sometimes I wish we stayed in VT....

The Tobacco state is my personal preference

My family has farmed tobacco for over 100 years

I wondered why every picture was a pig

That’s awesome.

Every picture is a pig because the company sells pig supplies I believe

*sold

Here’s the background info

@DixieBoy76 - KY I also have family from your state. Beautiful place. They were Catholic pioneer settlers of Lebanon, Kentucky. Are you familiar with Wathen Bourbon?

@Papa Pizzagate AHAHA I learned about that meme years ago and totally forgot about it

@ophiuchus For some background information, some Wikipedia articles have audio versions, and for a while that was the audio version for that article and it was allowed to stay because it *technically* didn't violate any of the Wikipedia rules

I’m currently mired deep in a list of Wikipedia hoaxes

Some of these are so odd

Not even jokes really, just stuff like “I made of a fictional Kosovar political party and it stayed up for 4 years”

Fictitious Amelia Bedelia origin story

“Claim that women in Uganda refer to the Protopterus as a ‘sister fish’ and for this reason abstained from eating them” stayed up for eight years

Amelia Bedelia is very implicit

@FACINEMA great editing lad 👌

When are we gonna tackle the fluoride question?

Right now

I drink bœttlëd water

It’s this fancy new thing

Plastic poison

You’ve *probably* never heard of it

Filter water
