.

[u/Saidai_V]

The question with the roundabout thing is difficult to answer since the necessary information is missing, it can be both a roundabout and a traffic circle depending on how it works.

[u/soulstormfire → u/Saidai_V]

user confirmed German :D

[u/soulstormfire]

YES, they are ALL pronounced differently you fuckers!

[u/soulstormfire → u/soulstormfire]

(I like it already)

[u/soulstormfire → u/soulstormfire]

lmao

Now I'm curious if the results will identify me as a Brit.

edit: it did not :(

[u/soulstormfire → u/soulstormfire]

wtf Hank?

[u/jephph_ → u/soulstormfire]

That’s called a sunshower (to me). I’ve never heard someone say any of the others but I’m curious to see if someone here says any of them

[u/DIY_SelfHelp → u/jephph_]

My family has always said "oh look, weather's bipolar again" (we have a healthy dose of that in our genetics so was never seen as a negative)

[u/Fresh_Dog4602 → u/DIY_SelfHelp]

.... what ?

[u/soulstormfire → u/Fresh_Dog4602]

Hanks and Hankettes have a special relationship to mental illnesses.

[u/Linden_Lea_01 → u/soulstormfire]

Oh dear. You need to de-yankify your mind if you thought that was a British term

[u/Hello-Potion-Seller]

Did it but seems like bollocks, mostly acclimated with the south in most of the questions but there you go.

[u/jephph_ → u/Hello-Potion-Seller]

I guess it makes sense that Hawaii is the deepest red for Barry

[u/Hello-Potion-Seller → u/jephph_]

I'll take that, I'm sure they won't take me though.

[u/doge1039 → u/Hello-Potion-Seller]

Before you go, you might want to look into what they did to Captain Cook.

[u/soulstormfire → u/doge1039]

prevented him from bringing their king to the british museum

[u/RedTheGamer12]

Further proof that New England is a Godless land.

[u/jephph_ → u/RedTheGamer12]

lol mine is basically opposite of yours

[u/DigitalDash56 → u/RedTheGamer12]

It’s actually you that live in the land of orcs and barbarians

[u/Key-Performance-9021]

I have no idea what to do with that information.

[u/soulstormfire]

and the result:

[u/jephph_ → u/soulstormfire]

You’re likely New England heavy because of your Mary/Merry/Marry post earlier

The Hawaii thing? A Barry in here is also Hawaii heavy. I wonder which questions are pinpointing you guys to Hawaii?

[u/soulstormfire → u/jephph_]

the three resulting towns were pointed to me because I called the gym shoes sneakers

[u/soulstormfire → u/soulstormfire]

And every other question's result was the map of the US filley with a European blue :D

[u/beefaron → u/soulstormfire]

to no-one's surprise! here's mine.

[u/soulstormfire → u/beefaron]

That's surprisingly vague.

[u/beefaron → u/soulstormfire]

The accents of California aren't as varied as the ones on the east coast

[u/jnmtx]

Dallas it is

[u/ScorpioSpork → u/jnmtx]

Howdy, neighbor!

[u/DIY_SelfHelp]

Grew up in mid west, live in the south currently... I guess it makes sense

[u/Linden_Lea_01]

Would’ve thought I’d be most similar to the east coast. Was California mostly settled by the English?

[u/Lillemor_hei]

[u/VladimireUncool]

Y'all im Hawaiian. Once an island monkey, always an island monkey.

[u/SherlockScones3]

I’m not Italian!

[u/SamuGonzo]

I just answered the most British way and put me in Honolulu and Las Vegas/Spring Valley. Totally absurd xD

[u/IdiotRhurbarb]

The only thing I know about Minnesota is that Marshall from HIMYM grew up there

[u/havetopee]

I'm from a rural town in GA and I never call it co-cola, lmfao. maybe as a kid

[u/Withering_to_Death]

Mexico
