Valuable tip for me, thanks.
Comment on Rainbolt never misses
Votes@lemm.ee 4 days agoYou’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 stuff 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).

What about Missouri? The only thing I know about Missouri is that in Fairly Odd Parents, Tom Sawyer says “I ain’t going back, it’s Missouri in there.”

I imagine many Europeans (me included) do that for the USA as a whole, not just a single state. At least for as long as Trump is president.

It’s been a no go zone for about 10 years or so, yeah. The no go zone even splashes canada.
