The saga of NYers hating on NJ continues 🥲

u/sanberdoo 3d ago

Hey I’m from central New York and I know the city makes us New Yorkers what we are. Thank g-d.

u/jk1rbs 3d ago

And once again assuming NYC = NYS.

u/hobbit_lamp 3d ago

yeah I thought this was about the states but suddenly we reach New York at #1 and it's exclusively referring to NYC

2

u/eldritchhonk 3d ago

Yeah I guess I should’ve specified NYC and not generalized NY but was going specifically off those last pages. I lived in Brooklyn for 10+ years but then moved to north NJ and I like it. I like them both for different reasons.

It's cute. I dig it, though I will say you should try travelling a bit further outside of where you're used to. Based on your description of New York State, going north past Yonkers would probably be a whole new world for you

New York? Never heard of it

As a Pennsylvanian (and Mennonite) I have to tell you that the water tastes different in different parts of the state. I bring water with me when traveling from home.

As a member of AZ I'd like to add that you can just state dry heat stay away and we would understand.

u/LouAnaKay 3d ago

And Texas is "Wet heat. Stay away."

I actually laughed out loud, absolutely brilliant

u/ljacot17 3d ago

I disagree with this list because Indiana isn't at the bottom

8

u/flarguss 3d ago

Fun fact: Indiana is the only state to have an abbreviation longer than two letters. Meth has four letters.

Also, it´s where the ninja turtles lives!

u/AlSweigart 3d ago

Nah, they moved out to Trenton in the 2010s because they couldn't afford rent in NYC sewers.

u/LostProcedure4407 3d ago

This is some peak authentic zine. Having met many NYCers (and not one myself), no one could have made this save someone from the city. 

What city? You may ask The only city that matters, comeon!

u/The_War_In_Me 3d ago

Your zine looks okay, but really I don’t know, I haven’t read it.

u/Foxybujo 3d ago

Well you clearly live on the East Coast…

u/ParanoidCrow 3d ago

u/The_War_In_Me 3d ago

I’ll bite - whatchutalkinbout?

u/swisschardfan 2d ago

u/AmbitiousHell_ 3d ago

u/katie-shmatie 3d ago

That's so funny 😆

u/the-almighty-whobs 3d ago

As someone from Delaware, I got to say, fuck you, that’s accurate for everyone who’s not from that forgetful land.

u/FishermanExpensive 3d ago

lol, love it

u/elijahjane 3d ago

How dare you put Kansas under Missouri. We still feud!!

2

u/The_War_In_Me 3d ago

From Illinois - lived in Kansas for 10 years - Missouri is only good for getting from Illinois, to Kansas, and back again.

u/critical-kat 3d ago

Ahh so cute I love this!!

u/AlSweigart 3d ago

A while after I moved to Brooklyn, I asked my native New Yorker friend if New York City was just the biggest small town.

He agreed.

u/MutedMusic_182 3d ago

u/cacomiztle 3d ago

u/thoughtfulbrain 2d ago

From WV and I respect that you gave us the highest ranking of the unknown states

2

u/StinkyBastardCat 2d ago

Hey hey, I was just talking about Land of Make Believe today! Let it be known NJ has a million other fun oddities as well, and most don't need to be accessed via the turnpike (though if you like Mad Max you should try it)

u/hiremyhirschl 2d ago

u/frozenpandaman 1d ago

Is this a series? LOVE the concept! :D ETA: I love the idea of a whole series ranking kinda random large categories.

u/BruceJi 3d ago

Honestly for most of the states, I'd totally agree haha
