Also the fact that many people outside of the Midwest don’t understand that we do indeed have electricity. And yes, I have had many encounters of people being surprised we don’t live in teepees.
Shhhhhhhh, I like being forgotten up here on the prairie. If people knew how nice it was up here our whole state would become a shit hole over night with all the freeloaders moving in.

I wonder if a majority of people in both states signed it if the government would actually follow through? Doubtful, but we've seen land subtracted from states more often than granted to them, so I'm sure a consolidation of two states has some sort of precedence.
by mild i think he means it’s not constantly hot. we do get some scorching weather, i don’t deny that, but in other states it’s above 80 pretty much all day every day, and we have some nice breezes to cool off.
@@michelleshefstad4699 You must not live in western North Dakota where it's like living in Cali, lol. It's very interesting to hear that b/c most of North Dakota has a continental climate, which means their summers are supposed to be a little more mild than subtropical states like Georgia or southern Pennsylvania.
North Dakota has a few others... Montana: "Where men are men and the sheep are afraid." Minnesota: "None of those idiots know how to drive." Canada: "The suburb of the United States."
True..ish... NDSU vs SDSU (if that is true, does NDSU students and alumni view this as a rivalry?) wasn't really a thing until fairly recently when SDSU moved up to Division 1. During my time at NDSU (before D1) in the 90s, SDSU wasn't a rivalry that I remember. That was saved for UND.
A few things. 1. About half of North Dakota's people live north (yes, NORTH) of a continental divide, the Laurentian Divide, and their waters drain north through Winnipeg. Although a few people in South Dakota and Minnesota and Alaska also live in Arctic drainage basins, they are a small percentage of their State's population. 2. North Dakota may be the only American State with socialist tendencies in spite of its strong conservatism. It has a State Bank, unique within the 50 States. And the State owns the facilities that produce Dakota Maid flour. 3. One joking reference is that "North Dakota is ducks whereas South Dakota is pheasants." This has to do with a large number of "prairie potholes" used by ducks in breeding seasons and the drier conditions down south. 4. Agricultural issues: North Dakota is the largest producer of honey and of durum wheat (used to make pasta) and of some other products in the USA. South Dakota does not appear to lead the nation in any of its agricultural products. 5. The woman on the golden dollar coin in the USA has a different name in North Dakota than in the rest of the country. She's Sacagawea or Sacajawea in most places. In North Dakota she goes by her Mandan name, Sakakawea. 6. One other joke: South Dakota has the Black HILLS that are mountains. North Dakota has the Turtle MOUNTAINS that are hills. 7. South Dakota is the site of the geographic center of the USA , near Belle Fourche. North Dakota has the geographical center of North America, near Rugby. Is that enough?
The geographic center of North America recently switched from Rugby to near a town appropriately named Center. They just constructed a small monument to it.

North Dakota: Land of the Extremes 1. EXTREMELY Cold Winters with -50°F Wind Chills 2. EXTREMELY Hot Summers with heat indexes getting past 110°F 3. EXTREMELY Powerful Winds
The wind! No body knows just how windy we get in North Dakota. Like our extreme winters, it's something you have to experience first hand. Our wind is relentless and strong.
If we became MegaKota, we’d just split again into East River and West River Dakotas. Laughed out loud at the East River comment talking smack to west river “you smell like spruce!”
I'm from South Dakota, but for 3 months I lived in Japan. One of the places I stayed at asked me if I would do a presentation on where I'm from. Everyone was so confused by the corn palace. It was hilarious. And anytime I would tell people I was from America, they'd always ask "California? New York?" And when I tried to explain south Dakota, they would have no idea, so I'd just load up a picture of mt Rushmore and say "here" and they'd understand pretty fast haha
The corn palace is our greatest weapon. Kristi Noem can press a button and start a Cornado. Of course, that’s nothing compared to the 5000 nukes hidden under Wall Drug
My father loved down home American things, but he was repulsed by the Corn Palace! On a more serious note, it's becoming a problem in United States and Canada that these small states and provinces exist. Other than history, there's no reason why the Dakotas should remain separate. Here in Canada, the province of PEI has only 140,000 people... yes, it even has its own accent, but it's too small! Both countries were founded as federations, but with the rise of cities this situation is becoming ridiculous...
@@johnarmstrong472 I’m pretty sure history and culture (which includes dialects) is like the #1 reason for separate states/nations. Now, I’m all for Dakota unity, but I don’t think the small state of Vernon would be to happy if they were absorbed by New Hampshire…
@@SouthDakotaFacts Vermont. It's so small you forgot the name. I'm all for them unifying too! In Canada, if we wanted to get rid of King Charles as head of state, all provinces must agree. So Prince Edward Island, with 140,000 people, could reject the wishes of 38,000,000. The US Senate composition is similar in its craziness.
@@johnarmstrong472 It works kind of different down here. Originally, states were basically autonomous, only really contributing with taxes for a few basic services. But over time, a federal beaurocracy has gained more power. The original idea was that because states were all on their own, they shouldn’t be measured by people, but rather that they were just another state. BUT a compromise was reached where more populous states did get more power, but was also balanced out by the anti-federal system
As an NDSU student, I'm pretty sure football rivalry is bigger between NDSU and SDSU (both teams can easily crush UND and USD in football). Also, North Dakota has nukes, so we've got that going for us I guess.
Sam Sindelar ~ South Dakota had 150 Minuteman II nukes until after the Cold War was over. As part of the USA/Russia treaty, the USA was to remove and dismantle/destroy all Minuteman II missiles, missile sites, and missile command centers except 1 non-operative command center and 1 non-operative missile silo which are being used as museum. All Minuteman II missiles in the USA, including North & South Dakota, were removed/destroyed. Minuteman III and other types of missiles still exist, although South Dakota doesn't have any.
SD has nukes to, on your way into Rapid City you can see all of the missile silos and some are even active, but SD and ND have the most nuclear weapons in the US us Dakotans are waiting until we get the signal to the nuke tf out of some assholes😂🤣
@@corvidaedalus I live in Saskatchewan north of both of you and I get even less. Regardless you folk down south so dont know what a real winter is about .
The Dakota Territory had a big influence on the ideology of Theodore Roosevelt. In 1884, while grieving the loss of both his wife and mother on the same day (Valentine's Day), he upped sticks and headed to his ranch in what's now North Dakota. The man himself reflected, "(...) I never would have been President if it had not been for my experiences in North Dakota." The site of his ranch became known as "the cradle of conservation,"
@@carlsaganlives4141 I always got the impression that Theodore Roosevelt was a man riddled with contradictions. As mentioned in the History Channel documentary about the President's, "(...) The Republicans' worst nightmare had come to pass. Theodore Roosevelt was no longer just a heartbeat from the presidency, he was the President. 'TR' as he liked to be called, was a complicated man, a mass of contradictions and he could not be bullied. He was a Conservative, yet he fought for reforms. He was a hunter, who started the conservation movement. A Hawk on war, who won the Nobel Peace Prize. Perhaps the only thing that's easily understood about him is that he was an original." What I thought was refreshing, reading about him, although a member of the Republican Party, he never identified himself as such. He never fought in terms of party politics, he fought for what he felt was right for the American people. Regardless of nationality, if a politician can do that for the most amount of people, they're going to be a great leader, be it government or head of state
Ok but they got the weather wrong. Who ever heard or “mild summers” in SD. Welcome to 110° weather. Also drier the more west you go. Hun we flooding rn
We kind of already have that in South Dakota. East river and west river in South Dakota have a rivalry almost as big as the rivalry between the two Dakotas! (South Dakota’s better though)
My stepdad grew up in Beach. When I was in high school in Wahpeton, he used to tell me that the real North Dakota started in Jamestown...everything east of there was Minnesota Jr. I thought he was full of it, but now that I've lived in western ND for several years, I have to say I agree.
While you're at it, you should start doing videos comparing regions within states. In my home state of MN, there is a tremendous difference between Northern and Southern MN. In other states like PA and NY, I know the Western reaches identify as their own things. Northern California vs Southern California vs Bay Area, East Texas, West Florida, Upper Peninsula of Michigan, etc. The possibilities are endless C:
The two biggest things that come to mind, when I think about my home here in North Dakota is the wind and the terribly cold winters. Here in North Dakota I never have picnics outside, because there is never a day that the wind wouldn't blow your napkins and paper plate off the picnic table. Our summers are short. In 2018 we only had summer for 4.5 months.
Bro, same here in the south. We get late May through early September, and then it’s back to parkas and stocking caps. I think down here our summers are a bit warmer though. 105 degrees down here a few weeks ago!
I sat for 6 weeks in Tioga in 2010 waiting for wheat to dry out. Finally got done the second week of October. Came down to southwest Nebraska and worked into mid December in jeans and a flannel. It was too much like winter up there.
You didn’t talk about North Dakota’s healthy drinking habits. Where I live... there is 20 bars and 5 liquor stores for 8000 people. It’s scary on the road.
Definitely agree with this. You can tell that east river is based on a foundation of farming and ranching, as west river has that mining history. Very different atmosphere on either side of the river.
@Jesus Christ honestly, these things are everywhere. I live on Vancouver Island where there is a lot to do, and drugs are huge problem out here. We have a giant fentanyl crisis. I am not sure there is anywhere you can go to escape it...
Logan McRoy I was talking to someone online the other day and told them i live in North Dakota and they were like “thats where the heads are right?” Smh
You forgot to mention about the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. That is where Sturgis South Dakota a town of 5,000 people becomes home to half a million bikers for 1 week of the year
Except West Dakota would have been dead-ass-broke... But ideologically westriver SD has more in common with westriver ND than it does with eastriver SD
They have better Internet in a better power greater than anywhere else in the United States that is North Dakota While my laptop crawls in San Francisco it's off the chain in Williston North Dakota
North Dakota and South Dakota had a war back in the early 1900s, South Dakotans threw dynamite across the to the North Dakota side, the North Dakotans lit them and threw them back ;)
I lived in Custer, SD for almost 20 years. This little breakdown was wonderfully done. Thank you for shining a small light on the differences of SD and ND. Seems like not too many people truly know much about either state anymore. For those of you more interested in the history of the American Indians from both SD and ND and the surrounding area, go listen to a podcast from This American Life titled Little War on the Prairie. Incredibly sad, but very eye opening and told from the perspective of a few relatives of some warriors who actually fought through those battles. An amazing listen.
@@allenthiele1804 I knew that. My face was on Mount Rushmore for awhile, but I got tired of people hounding me for autographs. Sometimes you just wanna go to Wal-Mart in peace.
Even before the current "crisis" I've been trying to find the safest, most ignored place in America to live. Against my instincts, I bought a house in the Appalachian region of western Virginia. Houses were super-cheap here. I don't hate it, been here a year. Really beautiful actually. But it's not my kind of culture. Once I fix this place up some (and if the economy allows) I'm selling and going west. Minnesota, U.P. Michigan, and the Dakotas are where I'm seriously looking now. Mountains here are nice, but I'm feeling a little claustrophobic. Need some open space.
Thank you so much for doing this video. Nice to see some recognition, being born and raised in North Dakota myself. Also for rivalry as far as college football, there's the Dakota Marker game that's played every year between the SDSU Jackrabbits and the NDSU Bison (my alma mater), it's a pretty big important game.
Being from SD, this video was very cool and entertaining to watch. If you ever do the East River vs. West River video one point to mention is that West River is super sparsely populated compared to East River. Rapid City also has the hardest to predict and most varied weather out of the whole US (I believe). Spearfish had one of the biggest temperature swings in history. Rapid (again) had one of the top 10 deadliest floods in the world and I think the deadliest in the US (not sure about that though). One last point of interest is the Continental Divide in the North East where rivers run North on the North side and run South on the South side.
My family lived in South Dakota for a year, near "Rabbit City," as I called it (I was 3 years old, and our neighbors had a pet rabbit). My dad used to say there were two seasons in the Dakotas: Winter and August 23...
Mr. Beat well wherever he’s from, he’s clearly a godsend, a credit to your channel. Well done orange, you just make sure you keep Mr. Beat focused, so I can continue to enjoy these videos.
@@remotelysuspiciousname4462 I'm sure Mr. Beat, as a social studies teacher, would love to do a video on Nebraska. After all, you can't talk to a Cornhusker without getting a history lesson.
@Joey Maxon Rancid? There can be a few choice adjectives I would use to describe some of the neighborhoods in Des Moines but rancid is hardly one of them.
My Grandma was born in Bottineau ND in 1894. She was 100% Norwegian. Both her parents grew up in Norway. The family eventually moved from ND to WA (Seattle, then Bellingham).
Two of my favorite states. When i was a kid, every summer my parents would take us to the black hills, and further west or southwest from there. We just couldn't stay away. As an adult, I've been back 3 times. Now i want to go again. Thank you Mr. Beat
I'm also in love with the Black Hills. I could certainly live there. I mean, Rapid City has life size statues of every President on every corner for crying out loud. :)
And winter in the north is worse than the south more than just a little its -60 up here in the north when its -10 in the south man -10 it tee shirt and shorts Whether man
As a South Dakotan, I can tell you the East/West rivalry is much bigger than the North/South rivalry, since it's obvious South is best. East/West has a bit more back and forth!
Just make sure you have plenty of retirement planned for any amount of illness. My parents massive savings only helped for some time and state assistance was just down right insulting. I love South Dakota, but they don't take care of their elderly at all.
I moved here because of taxes. I love not paying very much tax. I especially love the no state income tax. However I'm eyeing Florida for retirement and the weather (non hurricane). But we will see.
As a South Dakota native, I gotta say: pretty spot on. I moved to Seattle a few years ago (and thankfully moving back to Rapid City soon), but it's amazing how nuanced our differences and cultures are. Yes, the subtle feud continues, and yes, East/West River SD are very different from each other. - Most people outside the Midwest just see it all as blanket territory. They equate having visited Minnesota to having seen all of the Midwest. People ask why I don't have a Canadian accent. I've been asked if we ride horses everywhere, or if we even have electricity. Good god... - Only big thing missing in your video: the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally (I grew up just outside Sturgis).
I only learned about Sturgis from Roseanne when Dan and Ziggy were gonna "Trash the Mariott" and I had to ask my parents what Sturgis was. Now I'm actually surprised they knew considering they are Philadelphians with families from New England and Mennonites respectively lol.

as a non-American, watching your videos, I find it mind-boggling that in every state you cover one of the main industries in 'healthcare' ...healthcare shouldn't be an industry in the first place, it's ridiculous.
That is how it is in America- it's an industry all right. That's why doctors will do unnecessary procedures on the patients, because it's a pure business for them. It's not their goal to make patient to recover, but to suffer for a long time, so they all make more money. It is an industry.

If we became MegaKota, we’d just split again into East River and West River Dakotas.

Ah , North and South Dakota! My two favorite Dakotas!
The only dakotas with purpose! Oh wait...
What about ME?
@@corvidaedalus me first.
I'm Dakota Anne-Marie North.
I'm from South Dakota, but for 3 months I lived in Japan. One of the places I stayed at asked me if I would do a presentation on where I'm from. Everyone was so confused by the corn palace. It was hilarious. And anytime I would tell people I was from America, they'd always ask "California? New York?" And when I tried to explain south Dakota, they would have no idea, so I'd just load up a picture of mt Rushmore and say "here" and they'd understand pretty fast haha
The corn palace is our greatest weapon. Kristi Noem can press a button and start a Cornado. Of course, that’s nothing compared to the 5000 nukes hidden under Wall Drug
My father loved down home American things, but he was repulsed by the Corn Palace! On a more serious note, it's becoming a problem in United States and Canada that these small states and provinces exist. Other than history, there's no reason why the Dakotas should remain separate. Here in Canada, the province of PEI has only 140,000 people... yes, it even has its own accent, but it's too small! Both countries were founded as federations, but with the rise of cities this situation is becoming ridiculous...
@@johnarmstrong472 I’m pretty sure history and culture (which includes dialects) is like the #1 reason for separate states/nations. Now, I’m all for Dakota unity, but I don’t think the small state of Vernon would be to happy if they were absorbed by New Hampshire…
@@SouthDakotaFacts Vermont. It's so small you forgot the name. I'm all for them unifying too! In Canada, if we wanted to get rid of King Charles as head of state, all provinces must agree. So Prince Edward Island, with 140,000 people, could reject the wishes of 38,000,000. The US Senate composition is similar in its craziness.
@@johnarmstrong472 It works kind of different down here. Originally, states were basically autonomous, only really contributing with taxes for a few basic services. But over time, a federal beaurocracy has gained more power. The original idea was that because states were all on their own, they shouldn’t be measured by people, but rather that they were just another state. BUT a compromise was reached where more populous states did get more power, but was also balanced out by the anti-federal system
Fairly Odd Parents gave me way too much hope as a kid that the Dakotas would one day settle their differences and become one big Dakota.
I remember that :)
That would be so cool!
Wait did that happen in the show? Based!

As an NDSU student, I'm pretty sure football rivalry is bigger between NDSU and SDSU (both teams can easily crush UND and USD in football). Also, North Dakota has nukes, so we've got that going for us I guess.
Sam Sindelar ye it is literally the bison and jackrabbits could DESTROY the coyotes and hawks EASILY
Sam Sindelar ~ South Dakota had 150 Minuteman II nukes until after the Cold War was over. As part of the USA/Russia treaty, the USA was to remove and dismantle/destroy all Minuteman II missiles, missile sites, and missile command centers except 1 non-operative command center and 1 non-operative missile silo which are being used as museum. All Minuteman II missiles in the USA, including North & South Dakota, were removed/destroyed.
Minuteman III and other types of missiles still exist, although South Dakota doesn't have any.
shhhhh don't let them know about the nukes man wtf xD that's like our own statewide secret
SD has nukes to, on your way into Rapid City you can see all of the missile silos and some are even active, but SD and ND have the most nuclear weapons in the US us Dakotans are waiting until we get the signal to the nuke tf out of some assholes😂🤣

The Dakota Territory had a big influence on the ideology of Theodore Roosevelt. In 1884, while grieving the loss of both his wife and mother on the same day (Valentine's Day), he upped sticks and headed to his ranch in what's now North Dakota. The man himself reflected, "(...) I never would have been President if it had not been for my experiences in North Dakota."
The site of his ranch became known as "the cradle of conservation,"
SiVlog - Roosevelt embraced nature,for sure.
Trump embraces natural resources like they're his. Sad.
@@carlsaganlives4141 I always got the impression that Theodore Roosevelt was a man riddled with contradictions. As mentioned in the History Channel documentary about the President's, "(...) The Republicans' worst nightmare had come to pass. Theodore Roosevelt was no longer just a heartbeat from the presidency, he was the President. 'TR' as he liked to be called, was a complicated man, a mass of contradictions and he could not be bullied. He was a Conservative, yet he fought for reforms. He was a hunter, who started the conservation movement. A Hawk on war, who won the Nobel Peace Prize. Perhaps the only thing that's easily understood about him is that he was an original."
What I thought was refreshing, reading about him, although a member of the Republican Party, he never identified himself as such. He never fought in terms of party politics, he fought for what he felt was right for the American people. Regardless of nationality, if a politician can do that for the most amount of people, they're going to be a great leader, be it government or head of state
@@carlsaganlives4141 well BULLY!

Also, I want that E.river V. W.river video. It is unbelievable how different it gets when you cross the Missouri
I think it would make a great video for sure.
While you're at it, you should start doing videos comparing regions within states. In my home state of MN, there is a tremendous difference between Northern and Southern MN.
In other states like PA and NY, I know the Western reaches identify as their own things. Northern California vs Southern California vs Bay Area, East Texas, West Florida, Upper Peninsula of Michigan, etc. The possibilities are endless C:

The two biggest things that come to mind, when I think about my home here in North Dakota is the wind and the terribly cold winters. Here in North Dakota I never have picnics outside, because there is never a day that the wind wouldn't blow your napkins and paper plate off the picnic table. Our summers are short. In 2018 we only had summer for 4.5 months.
Bro, same here in the south. We get late May through early September, and then it’s back to parkas and stocking caps. I think down here our summers are a bit warmer though. 105 degrees down here a few weeks ago!
I sat for 6 weeks in Tioga in 2010 waiting for wheat to dry out. Finally got done the second week of October. Came down to southwest Nebraska and worked into mid December in jeans and a flannel.

I will say, East River is more reminiscent of the "classic" Midwest, whereas in West River we're more like The West. If that makes any sense.
Definitely agree with this. You can tell that east river is based on a foundation of farming and ranching, as west river has that mining history. Very different atmosphere on either side of the river.
Well I wouldn't say BASED on considering colonization is only so recent but yeah for Western culture I suppose. I more meant geographic as well.

Being from SD, this video was very cool and entertaining to watch. If you ever do the East River vs. West River video one point to mention is that West River is super sparsely populated compared to East River. Rapid City also has the hardest to predict and most varied weather out of the whole US (I believe). Spearfish had one of the biggest temperature swings in history. Rapid (again) had one of the top 10 deadliest floods in the world and I think the deadliest in the US (not sure about that though). One last point of interest is the Continental Divide in the North East where rivers run North on the North side and run South on the South side.

Winters are a blast, a very COLD BLAST !
Yeah, I can barely survive the winters in Kansas. It's pretty bad up there.
@@iammrbeat lol I'm a South Dakotan Lakota living in Kansas. This is where we came to winter lmaoo
We are staying in SD until our kid graduates college. Once he is out, we are moving south. Tired of the cold and snow.
IDK, I retired to the Black Hills because the weather is so mild.
@@19Earl52 With abrupt climate change you will be affected because the jet streams are changing rapidly. Colder winters and hotter summers. All of us are feeling the consequences as we are like frogs in a slow boiling pot.
The real rivalry is the jacks and bison I would know I live in Brookings the home of the jacks
Sorry that sucks. lol
Lets be honest, USD vs SDSU is just as competitive.
I live in Fargo the home of the Bison
Rivals? Bison poop sticks to jack fur, that's why NDSU always wipes their ass with you...
I’m from Georgia but I’m in love with North Dakota, I want to visit someday
South Dakota, best place to raise a family and protect them!
as a non-American, watching your videos, I find it mind-boggling that in every state you cover one of the main industries in 'healthcare' ...healthcare shouldn't be an industry in the first place, it's ridiculous.
lol I've been conditioned to get used to it, but yeah, you are certainly right. The United States is embarrassingly behind most of the world on this.
That is how it is in America- it's an industry all right. That's why doctors will do unnecessary procedures on the patients, because it's a pure business for them. It's not their goal to make patient to recover, but to suffer for a long time, so they all make more money. It is an industry.
many many Canadian's use ND health care facilities. They prefer the quality, access, and cost. ect compared to the empty promise of the Canadian joke.
Everything is an industry
You pay for health , you pay for water , you pay for food , you pay for shelter , you pay to live and you pay to die
Be grateful you can breathe for free 😂
Well its better than shitty free health care where it's shit and doesn't do a damned thing for you
I live in Fargo, ND! Good people here, very educated. Cold as hell tho. Very surprised you knew about the La Verendrye brothers, I’m related to them! Lol
Fuck your family. Ya bunch of thieves
What if you're right and they're wrong?
Haley K doesn’t everyone in nd live in Fargo. At least the majority of us.
Haley K and then there’s like 5 people who live in Bismarck
Can I get a good deal on a slightly used wood chipper?
I’m glad these states are getting some more recognition. The only states foreigners and tourists care about in the US are California, New York, Florida, and Texas (from my experience at least)
