People say ohio is boring but forget about Indiana. Their state motto is literally "the crossroads of america". They are famous for being driven through on the way to other places.
It started for me with the guy that released the exotic animals and then killed himself and the guy in Cleveland who kept the 3 girls captive for year. It was a whole lot to unpack in a short period. So, fuck weird ass Ohio.
As someone who has lived in Alabama for the entirety of their 29 year life I would like to propose making Alabama the new Ohio. Go on, you know you wanna make some inbred jokes only they can't be jokes if they're true, right? Someone please fucking rescue me.
Doesn’t Ohio have a cool rollercoaster theme park or something? I’m sure there’s plenty of other states more boring than it especially around the Midwest or south
I had to recently drive through Ohio to get home from being up I new York and every state I drove through felt quick but Ohio I felt like I was there for an eternity
I listen to some crytid podcasts and it's actually surprising how many of the creatures/events they cover come from the Ohio River Valley area. So there might be a portal somewhere for all we know.
More history for those not from the US: Ohio and Michigan originally had a territorial dispute over a region called Toledo that actually led to a war. As a compromise Michigan got an entire swarth of land known as the upper peninsula which is the size of a state in itself, and Ohio got Toledo on its crooked boundary line.
I'm from Ohio, and this was my explanation for why Ohio is home to the most astronauts and presidents. It's just the most talented of our lot doing their damnest to get as far away from Ohio as possible.
I took a guy on a date to Detroit once. He was from Ohio. He was amazed by the city. We entered in some random shoe store & he was complimenting the owner on some of his products & he mentioned how it was his first time in Michigan and Detroit. The owner asked where he was from & to which my date replied with, “Ohio.”
That's not uncommon for Michiganders to say at all. That's as common in Michigan as pointing to your hand when people ask where you're from in MI. Ohio hates Michigan too. I grew up in Ohio and went to college in Michigan so I got it from both sides.
I honestly love that people think this about New Jersey just because the part near NYC is miserable. There are gorgeous parts of NJ, both forest / hills and beachside. But Jersey shore and the industrial stuff is all anyone knows.
Michigan and Ohio once went to war against each other sometime in the 1800's, Michigan ended up getting the Upper Peninsula, and Ohio got the Toledo Strip. I think that's part of the ill will at least Michiganders have for them (and the dislike is real, trust me)
Ohio is like that one little cousin tht you only see at thanks giving that microwaved his cat when he was 4 to see what would happen that now everyone is afraid of because his mom gave him a knife, and he has learned how to summon Satan himself. But if you get to know him he is just kinda boring to be around
The mystical legend of Ohio has been a well-kept secret for a while, but recently there has been leaked footage of the true horrors of Ohio. People who claim it is just a meme have been trying to cover it back up, but I believe everyone deserves to know the truth about Ohio, beware, non-American, because if you dare forge there, what you see cannot be unseen. Godspeed.
People memed the state probably because it’s “boring” and then that lead to lots of unfunny jokes and lot of genuine Ohio haters getting support from idiots that go along with the joke. I really just don’t want people from across the world to think of my beloved state as the hole from hell 😭
So I've been to every state but 6, and I can tell you the reason we make fun of Ohio is because it is a perfect mediocrity. My ex girlfriend was from Cincinnati and over the course of that relationship I went to every corner of Ohio and saw everything passing for a city. Ohio in essence has nothing to offer that some other state cannot do better, and the demographics of the state make it a pretty decent stand-in for the nation as a whole. There are urban, suburban, and rural areas with substantial populations and a mix of Democrats and Republicans. The cuisine is bland, the landscape is uninspiring, and it manages to be both hot and humid in the summer AND cold and wet in the winter.
Meh me as an Ohioan it isn't so bad. Except for the meth, coke, heroin, racists, gun violence, freezing weather, winds that destroy house, tornados, heat waves, corrupt police, poor education system, and the far left and far right who can't shut the hell up about the stuff they disagree on. It's a beautiful place.
Ohio is the most average state. The most generic state. That gave it a reputation for being boring AND made it a target for everything people find wrong with America as a whole
Ohio is a bit of an enigma of a state tbh. It’s too north to be the south, but has a lot of southern stuff about it - lots of Christian/creationists, lots of poor whites, less educated, huge into college football. It’s too East to be Midwest, but has a lot of Midwest stuff about it - farms, less educated, poor whites. It has a number of big cities, but all of their big cities are ass - like shitty versions of Philadelphia or Memphis.
What do Non-Americans think of American states? In my estimation it’s sort of like European countries, but we all speak the same language and have weird state specific quirks, dialects, and sometimes accents.
That’s the funny thing about America. We don’t know what the hel os going on in any state. Think of it like each state is a difference country got all you non Americans. With that being said it’s funny because Ohio is in the mid west and but fuk nowhere so we all say they do crazy and abnormal shit
America’s a big place. Lived here my whole life never been to Ohio and I bet that goes for most Americans. They probably understand the joke just as well tbh. In that the joke is to pretend Ohio is some post apocalyptic center of chaos.
Think of a cryptid, like bigfoot. Ohio is a cryptid that is an entire state; enough correlating encounters to suggest that something like it may exist, but not enough evidence to rationally prove it.
It started out with people making fun of how boring Ohio is but eventually evolved into Ohio being some kind of portal to hell or something
Because of it's history and standing. I, too, underestimated Ohio but it's corporate and criminal central.
As an Ohioan my whole life, it is a portal to hell. Purgatory at the least.
People say ohio is boring but forget about Indiana. Their state motto is literally "the crossroads of america". They are famous for being driven through on the way to other places.
It started for me with the guy that released the exotic animals and then killed himself and the guy in Cleveland who kept the 3 girls captive for year. It was a whole lot to unpack in a short period. So, fuck weird ass Ohio.
No it's true. I'm pretty sure it's somewhere in Cleveland or something.
Can confirm. Left Hell for Florida.
As someone who has lived in Alabama for the entirety of their 29 year life I would like to propose making Alabama the new Ohio. Go on, you know you wanna make some inbred jokes only they can't be jokes if they're true, right? Someone please fucking rescue me.

Hold on, Ohio actually exists? I thought it was a myth!
Dude, they had a river catch on fire. A RIVER.
According to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, there is a hellmouth in Cleveland
It is. Source: I moved there and regretted every single decision I made leading up to that moment. Love will make you do stupid stuff.

" No one can understand OHIO but everyone is AFRAID of it."- Master Oogway
As a Michigander im obligated to say Ohio can suck my d*ck
[удалено]
it's just another consistently referenced place for weird stuff, like how floridians are embodiments of chaos
Yeah, Ohio is essentially the very cold and bland sibling of Florida (that isn't sinking or hurricane-prone, even Ian verged away from Ohio)
Ohio is mentioned quite a bit in The Twilight Zone.
This is why they have the most astronauts. Living in Ohio, apparently it’s not enough to just leave Ohio, they want off the planet.
I'm from Ohio, and this was my explanation for why Ohio is home to the most astronauts and presidents. It's just the most talented of our lot doing their damnest to get as far away from Ohio as possible.
This is also the reason the Wright brothers invented flight.
Also it has a supernatural draw. Almost anyone I know that left ended up back here within 5 years.
And they have to go to Purdue next door in Indiana to get the training.
We picked a random boring state and said “that one, that’s the place where everything weird comes from”
Google proctor and gamble. We’ve been in your house this whole time.
If somethings boring enough people will make it entertaining
I took a guy on a date to Detroit once. He was from Ohio. He was amazed by the city. We entered in some random shoe store & he was complimenting the owner on some of his products & he mentioned how it was his first time in Michigan and Detroit. The owner asked where he was from & to which my date replied with, “Ohio.”
LMAO
When I was living in WI, someone said they were from Ohio. Without thinking, all I could ask was, "On purpose?"
That's not uncommon for Michiganders to say at all. That's as common in Michigan as pointing to your hand when people ask where you're from in MI. Ohio hates Michigan too. I grew up in Ohio and went to college in Michigan so I got it from both sides.
Oh that's just Michigan. We really, REALLY hate Ohio lol, something something Toledo.
Just to pour salt in the wound, how great was that UofM/OSU game yesterday?
Yeah. Unless you live in a major city in Ohio. Shit is simple af. Went to California and was amazed to see a two story target.
Damn. Can’t have shit in Detroit
Im an american and i don't understand either
I live in Ohio and I don’t even fully understand
Oh thank God I'm not the only one. I thought we all agreed that Florida was the hellstate.
[удалено]
I’m from Ohio and I completely get it.
Ohio is where Harambe died. And that’s where it all started.
Just wait till you find out there’s people who actually believe Wyoming exists
Why do they call it "Wyoming"? I've never seen it Wyom.
Wait, people believe Wyoming is a thing.
It's true! Us Wyomingites just live in the void.
Ohio is like the middle child of America 💀
As a middle child from Ohio…angry upvote.
Nah, the true middle child of America is Delaware; we never even hear about it
It’s ok, I don’t understand Ohio either
you aren’t meant to, really.
Only in Ohio
if states were food, ohio and new jersey would be cardboard
Ill have you know New Jersey is a greasy piece of cardboard thank you very much.
Thanks for explanation, much clearer 😁
Beats being American cheese
Not true wait till you hear about our chili on speghetti
I honestly love that people think this about New Jersey just because the part near NYC is miserable. There are gorgeous parts of NJ, both forest / hills and beachside. But Jersey shore and the industrial stuff is all anyone knows.
New Jersey would be the highly chemically treated type of cardboard.
Get outta here with that NJ slander, we are nothing like that place
New Jersey is at least interesting
As a man born and raised in NJ, this confuses me. What makes us carboard?
Ohio💀
[удалено]
Ohio 📉
Ohio’s biggest accomplishment is fitting three syllables into a four letter word
Ohio is Australia but real
Shit is that possible to learn this power of Ohio
Oi mate, what the fuck?
Ohio wishes it has exotic killer animals like Drop Bears and Buff Kangaroos.
But Australia ain't boring by a long shot.
Started out with people making jokes about monsters attacking places in America, but Ohio is the only one that lasted.
Its just a really bland midwestern state.
As an Ohioan, I want to know how Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, and Missouri have managed to avoid the bland Midwestern accusations...
as an Ohioan I can fully agree, there's about as many interesting things as there would be in an empty field
I like to equate Ohio to a piece of shitty white bread toast. Just undercooked, no butter, jelly or any other additions. Enjoy your meal!
Ohio is like the America of America
Michigan and Ohio once went to war against each other sometime in the 1800's, Michigan ended up getting the Upper Peninsula, and Ohio got the Toledo Strip. I think that's part of the ill will at least Michiganders have for them (and the dislike is real, trust me)
It's ok, Ohio isn't real so you don't need to be American
[удалено]
Southern Ohio…
Only the western half. Eastern half you can lose an entire town going up a hill. Speaking of hills, everything east of 71 is built on a hill.
Ohio is the flat chested cousin to Florida.
This...oddly, is quite descriptive.
I don’t know wether to feel offended or flattered as a floridian
But we got a dump truck ass made out of McDonalds and Yuengling.
Ohio is like that one little cousin tht you only see at thanks giving that microwaved his cat when he was 4 to see what would happen that now everyone is afraid of because his mom gave him a knife, and he has learned how to summon Satan himself. But if you get to know him he is just kinda boring to be around
Wow you aptly described my childhood
Me, an Ohioan who doesn't understand either
I'm an American and I don't get it
As an Ohioan, I think it probably has something to do with Lebron James or corn.
I'm American and don't understand it neither
🤝
Ohio is hell made manifest.
My favorite it’s the one that says we should have two states. Long Florida and turbo Ohio 😂
As an American I don’t understand either. Welcome brother
I'm American and I don't even understand it
Don’t worry, you’ll belong to Ohio soon enough. We just need to set the invasion in motion
The mystical legend of Ohio has been a well-kept secret for a while, but recently there has been leaked footage of the true horrors of Ohio.

Godspeed.
TLDR: Ohio doesn't exist
I'm an Ohioan and I'm not even sure what it's about.
People memed the state probably because it’s “boring” and then that lead to lots of unfunny jokes and lot of genuine Ohio haters getting support from idiots that go along with the joke. I really just don’t want people from across the world to think of my beloved state as the hole from hell 😭
That's ok... Neither do the people making the memes.

Born and lived in Cleveland.
Ohio sucks…but Cedar Point pretty fire.
Upvote for roller coasters
Kings Island is also pretty cool
Meh me as an Ohioan it isn't so bad. Except for the meth, coke, heroin, racists, gun violence, freezing weather, winds that destroy house, tornados, heat waves, corrupt police, poor education system, and the far left and far right who can't shut the hell up about the stuff they disagree on. It's a beautiful place.
Such amazing views! Fields, farms, and people who live their dad uneventful lives here.
Ain't no way Ohio💀
Only in Ohio bruh 💀
It's what they say to greet each other in muh weebtoons.
Don’t worry about ohio if you don’t live near it
The memes are all you need to know, trust me
Greece is the ohio of europe
Literally every comment i see on most TikTok videos have some reference to Ohio, the meme is strong
It’s only for lovers
It’s like Florida memes but there’s no basis to go off of, it’s just why not ig. 🤷♂️
O-H!
I-O!
Ohio is the most average state. The most generic state. That gave it a reputation for being boring AND made it a target for everything people find wrong with America as a whole
It’s people thinking memes are reality. Ohio is, at worst, just fine:
Yeah, it’s a meme that’s a bit unfunny now.
Don’t tell them how awesome it is here. You’ll make more traffic
Yeah I was so confused about why the Ohio memes started lmao. It was funny but didn’t make sense.
As someone from Michigan, completely unbiased here, Ohio is the worst place you could ever go
The dog which has 6 leg
Don't worry, I'm an American who doesn't know how that joke started, I just joined in
"Ohio is a 'rural bar fight' of a state"
Bro the Christmas weed was a miracle that someone stole ~Just Ohio Problems~
Some Americans even Ohioans also don't understand
Bro I'm American and I don't understand those memes too. It was Florida one day and then it change to Ohio? Tf is going on???
The Borås of the America's
No one understands anything about it, that’s the point
Me an American who also doesn’t understand what’s going on
I am an american and still don't understand the ohio memes
It's round on the end and high in the middle.
Ohio is a bit of an enigma of a state tbh. It’s too north to be the south, but has a lot of southern stuff about it - lots of Christian/creationists, lots of poor whites, less educated, huge into college football.

What do Non-Americans think of American states? In my estimation it’s sort of like European countries, but we all speak the same language and have weird state specific quirks, dialects, and sometimes accents.
There are two kinds of countries in this world:
i’m american and i’m confused
Bruh, I’m from Minnesota and I still don’t get it. I mean I kinda do, about how boring and shit Ohio is, but to that I say North Dakota
Florida Spreads
It's the Florida of the north.
Idk either. Apparently it’s the new “Florida man.”
I'm not american but I still find it funny. I just don't know why it's happening. What even is an Ohio?
None American
Ohio is like that irl, I'm not lying
I'm an American and I don't understand it either
That’s the funny thing about America. We don’t know what the hel os going on in any state. Think of it like each state is a difference country got all you non Americans. With that being said it’s funny because Ohio is in the mid west and but fuk nowhere so we all say they do crazy and abnormal shit
America’s a big place. Lived here my whole life never been to Ohio and I bet that goes for most Americans. They probably understand the joke just as well tbh. In that the joke is to pretend Ohio is some post apocalyptic center of chaos.
I think Ohio has just become the internets new Florida.
We don’t understand Ohio either
I live in Ohio and I don't understand
I left Ohio about 5 years ago and I’ve never been happier. That place was my personal hell
Ngl I’m American and I can’t even understand.
Non*
Ohio is the new Alabama
As an Alabamian myself, Ohio is very contrast when compared to Alabama
No no, Alabama is the clear incest champion.
People hate Ohio because they live in a shitty state and it's the only thing to get their minds off that fact.
Believe it or not this place is not actually a shit hole and the majority of us don’t hate it here, it’s not anymore awful than any other state
It's just a stupid meme. Ohio is fine. Especially compared to a real shit hole state like Mississippi.
I’m American and I don’t even get the sudden hate for Ohio
It’s better this way
Ohio will eventually invade the United States and we will be helpless to stop them
Don't feel too bad, I'm an American and I don't even understand.
Me, an American, who also doesn’t understand the meme because I arrived late
Is funny because it is about Ohio, entiendo? No? ¡Yo tampoco!
It's ok. We're Americans and We scream, for we do not know.
I guess you’ll never know.
I’m an Ohioan, you don’t want to know.
I don’t understand the Ohio jokes and I’m American so
Exactly👌🗿
Think of a cryptid, like bigfoot. Ohio is a cryptid that is an entire state; enough correlating encounters to suggest that something like it may exist, but not enough evidence to rationally prove it.
Ohio moment:
It’s ermmmmm a joke
Go to Ohio and you will know ;)
I’m an American, and I don’t understand anything about it either lmao.
WONDER OF OHIO
Can you shout it
I am non-american but i understand it
Down in Ohio down in Ohio
Ohio knows what it did.
Ohio is like.... the Midwest's Alabama
Ohio
"Me who lives in Ohio not understanding the Ohio memes"
Ohioan here. I don’t get it either. We’re just your average shitty midwestern state. We got a couple cool stuff, but everyone just wants to leave
You don’t want to know. Hahaha
It’s Ohio. Consider yourself blessed
i LIVE in ohio and still don't understand
I'm american and I have no idea what it's about
Me an American doesn't know why people are making jokes about ohio
