actually drawing out his rants is the little bit of extra effort that makes the librarian the goat
when the blank map popped up I knew it was gonna be good
Why would he not draw canada? 😢 I already know those parts of usa lmao
Honestly, he was pretty accurate. Picking out NYC and not just New York state was a nice touch
i really needed the canada map like you did the US map lol
Yeah I couldn't follow in my head. Stupid brain has no mental map for Canada whatsoever
HUGE graphic job here librarian
It makes the bit 7x better, like it turns from pretty funny to a greatest of all time already in the first half of January, it's so good
Finally I get it. They call it the midwest because it's mid. Thanks Librarian.
He knows US geography more than most Americans
I was going to comment that he knows so much more about the US and US geography than me, a native montanan
and US presidents too
@guinea_horn I have never stepped foot in the New World in my life, yet i can somehow locate 90% of US States on a map. Internet american brainrot syndrome (IABS)
Me when I am a vile minion doing the bidding of an evil matriarch: I'm serving mother
You kiss The Mother with that mouth?!
The way he pops off at 8:04 is gold. The map is a great touch. Praise be
0:00 - 0:20 Thats the most NL has talked about Super Auto Pets we have seen in 8 months. Type 1 chatters pogging
For Australia: Sydney is the economic powerhouse, Melbourne is the cultural powerhouse. Sydney has the big name sights to see but Melbourne has all the events. Sydney is definitely New York right down to everyone outside of Sydney fucking hating Sydneysiders for being assholes and suits, and Melbourne is like a lot of California rolled into one, being up themselves, hipsters and hippies.
Canberra is indeed just like Ottawa, its made to be a capital and it's boring. If you could give me any stereotype about Brisbane or Perth if be impressed, let alone any other Australian city
Only thing if change with the US is add "retirement desert" to Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico with Las Vegas as a special zone cos Paradise is literally a special zone.
I’m from oregon and I frequently travel and visit the border between east Oregon and idaho and I come to say, I appreciate that he did not include idaho in the northwest. I feel like they would also rather it this way.
It's pretty funny that as a Swede this is exactly how i group America in my head, apart from the north west.
As an american, i completely agree. Anything that isn't in one of the corners or texas is just one big grey blob.
Saying people from New Mexico and Arizona are the same culturally as people from Minnesota and Wisconsin is a wild take.
NL's description of Canada is quite unironically how the government groups the nation as well, in terms of how it allocates funding and designs policy.
my rule of thumb is that if a state is shaped like something other than a sort of vaguely rectangular blob, you should probably know it. that does unfortunately result in michigan being a state you should know (shaped like a mitten) but it rules out a lot of the boring ones so i think it works
As someone from Michigan, that's totally fair. We're Ohio but with the distinction of not being Ohio.
Michigan mentioned!
maryland stays winning
kinda makes sense why that is, states with important stuff going on are actually fighting about borders
The disrespect to not even draw the Canadian map
Pittsburgh is so midwest pilled its crazy, anyone who thinks otherwise just has a chip on their shoulder or some pride to get over. Our iconic Guy Type is goateed alchoholic who wears jersies to formal events and 2 of our culinary touchstones are different ways to cook potatoes
Cheese Steak < Italian Beef
US map makes total sense- I do feel like he needs to include the southwest as its own region- desert part of the country like New Mexico Arizona Nevada and some of Colorado probably
Yeah lol West CO and East CO are like two different worlds lol
@@JD-wu5pf the Southwest is like the Southwest don't insult us by comparing us to the midwest
@@owenramsey2963 it's forgotten as fuck. No one gives a shit about Sante Fe.
@@Kyledishgambin0 Santa Fe is crazy no one here cares about Santa Fe either it's the 4th biggest city in New Mexico
Can we put Colorado in the Pacific Northwest? Big PNW vibes there
If he divided stuff up a bit more into mountain states and doing something for the southwest would actually be a pretty legit map.
My condolences to Hawaii.
Disagree. All of the regions he mentioned have a unique cultural export. The mountains have what? Skiing? So it snows a lot there? Mid west. I agree with the condolences to Hawai'i, but mostly because it should be it's own country untainted by the US. We should trade Hawai'i for Puerto Rico so we still have 50 states.
@@fishcati5620i know your comment is 3 months old but holy +2
I was 100% on board until 6:15 because what on God's green Earth is he talking about that Virginia is part of the North East?
My friend who lives in Melbourne told me he's right on all the australian city comparisons, so there ya go.
Thanks for the maps Librarian.
Librarian bought a wacom tablet for this video
i actually do have a tablet but i dont use it cause my handwriting is so bad, the mouse is actually more passable lmao
@@TheLibraryofLetourneau +2 for mouse freehanding, genuinely impressive
No way in hell is VA in the north east. I live in northern VA and spend a lot of time in upstate NY and the vibes of the two areas are night and day different. And the southern part of VA is even further removed from the north-eastern vibe.
I love your dedication to the rants by making a drawing of his interpretation of the US. 😂 +2 my sapling
Surprised about the PA Midwest pushback. Also, I think Arizona, Nevada, and NM should be deserty California
Western PA and western NY are very culturally similar to Michigan, northern Ohio, and the rest Great Lakes region. But I'd argue the Great Lakes region is pretty different than the true Mid-West states like Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas.
@@jacobcoates3942 nah it's all the same shit. Also, I give the Midwest pretty much all of pa besides Philly
Yeah, Arizona - Nevada - New Mexico are "retirement desert" with Las Vegas as a special district because.. well it literally is (Paradise is at least)
Any state that is in Fallout: New Vegas is automatically west
@@jacobcoates3942 Culturally, I think they’re pretty much identical. There are small distinctions that you would know if you lived in one or a few.
You can put a gradient for Midwest characteristics and it’d intensify or lessen in each depending on characteristics. With Wisconsin being the apex midwestern stereotype state.
1. Can somebody please explain the Gillian Anderson lampooning? I don't keep up with hollywood anything and the twitter jokes make no sense to me.
2. His map is pretty good for a foreigner. The midwest comments are just funny, but the only edit I almost require is that Appalachia (Central PA tracking southwest down to Eastern Tennessee) is definitely culturally distinct from everywhere else
the gillian anderson tweet is positive lol, its just people working in the words 'slay' 'cunt' and 'mother' into sentences to say someone looks good
''what you say fuck me for'' always has me laughing
Almost correct. The NE does not claim Maryland or Virginia. They're their own special region as well.
the only edit i'd make is that the midwest-northeast dividing line should be lancaster, not philadelphia. other than that bro cooked
I think you need to draw a line down the middle of the Midwest because there’s just no reason for Arizona and Minnesota to be part of the same region.
OK, hear me out
Denver doesn't get it's own special district
but the Blue Mustang Statue at the airport, a.k.a Blucifer, does
AUTUMN
Arizona midwest lmao
Incredible and informative
“America has only three cities: New York, San Francisco, and New Orleans. Everywhere else is Cleveland.” - Skibedee Williams, famous playwright
the visuals on this vid is crazy. this is why you're my goat librarian
hes unironically right and i hate it, but only because hes right
You could probably add the rust belt as its own region as well. Also as a born and raised Ottawan who has since lived in several cities and multiple provinces, Ottawa isn't that boring, it's just not on the same level as the major Canadian hub cities (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver). I'd probably put it somewhere in tier 2 with cities like Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, and Quebec.
This was good, except for calling Arizona and Nevada midwest. We're basically California-lite out here. Just call us California. And you could probably call Oregon and Washington State canada as well
BOISE STATE MENTIONED RAHHHHH 🗣️ 🔸🔹🐴
I can't believe he didn't mention skibidi Ohio
skibidi erasure sadge
That's the thing.
Whenever he brings up Ohio, he does so because it's the platonic ideal of a Midwest state.
Ohio is like you took every other state in the Midwest and threw them in a blender, after removing every single defining cultural, economic, geographic and agricultural trait that makes them distinct in any way.
As an American, this is actually a very close approximation of how I’d describe it to a foreigner. Great work on the dynamic map Librarian
Holy hes yinzer coded.
As Pittsburghers, we can be mad, bur he's right lol. Bro came with the yinz receipt
Never saw this but kinda funny he names Pennsylvania, decides not to add it but then skips down to VA and adds it to the NE
the only thing i take issue with is my personal belief that texas is not really south. south east is the real south. oklahoma is midwest of course, and the southwest is kind of a real thing. it doesn’t matter that much though
Just a few changes: Virginia south of Richmond is the "South". North of it is "Northeast". Add Appalachia to the map for West Virginia and Pennsylvania west of State College. Also, separate Midwest from "West" starting at Colorado, I guess. Plains people, don't @ me. There's only like 12 of you anyway.
West Virginia does not need anyones recognition
For VA, I'd say it's a gradient, with exceptions for larger cities and college towns, but you're basically correct.
Rockies states should be desperate from Midwest, and Utah, NM and Arizona should be the south west then it’s basically perfect
I feel like I distinctly remember a time when Ryan wanted to make a point that he has no problem with cussing, and kinda blurted out the cursed phrase "c**t blisters" to drive it home. Anyone else recall this for some reason?
is this before or after the child was born? if it's before oct 2020, the dad epigenetics hadn't popped yet
@@GettNumber no no, years before that
@@GettNumber Honestly, I can testify that when your daughter is born, your level of comfort with saying stuff like "pussy" goes waaaaaay down
I live in Southern Illinois. Map is very accurate aside from Chicago. You’d struggle find someone from around here who has anything in common with someone from Chicago, but you’d find plenty who have traits from places like St. Louis/Indianapolis/Kansas City.
Chicago is more California at this point than Illinois. Grew up there, escaped to colorado
Chicago seems to get it from all sides, mostly from people who haven't lived or even been there. As someone who grew up in cornfield rural IL, and also lived in Chicago proper for 10 years, I don't understand what people think Chicago is like. Differences exist just by being a city certainly but it's still full of good Midwestern people with a real sense of community. Also the guy saying Chicago is California is a wild thing to say and makes me think they grew up in Naperville, but are saying Chicago or something.
@@jakepetropoulos1074I don’t think Chicago is much like California, even though i’ve only been to both places for only a few days. Chicago sort of reminds me of videos i’ve seen about London; very moist, dark streets with periodic fun things happening, some important history/museums, and a clear delineation between the “sides” of the city.
We’ve got a giant bean, though, I bet the brits would kill to get that thing
@@opossumboyopublic transportation alone makes Chicago distinct from California. California is car country, Chicago depending on what areas you live you can go most of your life not needing a car
he forgot the southwest, which is very culturally distinct from the midwest
Okay, I've figured it out. NL is 100% correct with his US assessment. The Midwest section would just be broken down into small sections that are mostly just like the already notable ones, just less extreme/notable. Examples include: Chicago is Midwest NYC, Denver is Midwest PNW, Hawaii is ocean California, all the states east of Chicago are new England Midwest, all the states south of Ohio are south Midwest, southwest states are California Midwest, all the states east of the Dakotas are Texas Midwest, Alaska is PNW Midwest. The only one that I am having trouble with is the middle Midwest (the states around and including MN). I have home bias since I'm from Minneapolis/St Paul. If I had to put a label on it, north middle Midwest would be California Midwest.
Little bit of regional bias but I think his map is pretty close but I’d probably make a southwest carve out that contains essentially Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and at least the southern half of Utah. Desert people are just a bit more off kilter than typical midwesterners
can someone tell nl to stream at a time more convenient for Australians other than 3-8am
The disappointment I felt when I realised that I will never be able to watch his stream live
He ran out of colours so CA is just blank aintnoway
Its almost perfect, except I would add like a desert state Arizona, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico.
Americans may hate it, but that is how America is.
+2 I think he's right
I'm from Germany btw
Honestly as someone from the real midwest, thats pretty accurate
the terror mentioned 💯💯💯 what the fuck is the northwest passage ‼
Did he do the UK and Australia too like he promised? Splitting the UK up anyway besides North and South is a minefield, almost literally.
to be fair even us americans view the country the same way.
Unexpected Montana mention in the fourth quarter!!! (The way you know a state is in the Midwest is if people get hyped about their state being mentioned)
my gf loves northenlion we have that in common. hes so verbose
He's right and it makes me angry
This is basically how i see the map ad a PNW resident lmao. Alaska is welcome in the PNW for sure
I mean he aint wrong, slight bias being form TX but I don't see any flaws in this map.
ngl 10 year old kids in america say see you next tuesday at school also. I know because thats where I learned it
He's right, except Virginia should be at least half in the South
I'm going to cry, Virginia is not northeast
I would have given chicago and detroit special perms for being the mid west metro area or something. Other than that pretty much spot on, from the perspective of a non NYC new yorker
As a rep of both Tucson, Arizona and Pittsburgh I have to say he has a bit of a point
R.I.P. McDonald's beside the Rideau Centre
PA shits on NY in terms of baked goods... that's about it.
As an Albertan, I want to challenge NL here.
Alberta, alone, is Texas. And a bit of Florida.
Sask and Manitoba are Idaho.
You got it. I was "HUH" Catting when he grouped Sas and Manitoba into Texas.
No way, Sask is 100% Texas. It's comically flat as hell! Also Saskatchewan and Texas share the most similar biomes, and are almost equivalent with mass size on maps.
What I do love though, is that Sask has more counties/municipalities than Texas does, despite having such a significantly smaller population! Idaho only has numbers in the double digits... they could never
There's gotta be a division around the rockies and to the west.
NL just mad that our Stanley Cup is silver here in Vegas
Arizona and New Mexico aren’t Midwest, the rest is good
he's been talking about scotland a lot recently, lucky us
I'd just like if NL rolled into like 3 jellyfish turn 3 and just said "That's so cunttt oh my goshhhh "🤩
same tbh
can I check this map out from the library pls
As someone from the midwest, this is NLs worst take
Pog maps
How many places has he actually been to in the US
He forgot about Pennsyltucky 😢
hi
Cmon Idaho should be part of the PNW
As a Californian I approve this message
I’m so happy someone else has seen season 1 of The Terror on fx, what a specific namedrop
nice
Nova goes north, rest of Virgina goes south
Wtf, the northeast goes into PA almost to Ohio.
+2 for the map
PagMan the library
Librarian on point with the graphics
I don't think I've ever seen anyone say that Arizona is in the midwest lol
the southwestern us is just the midwest but in the desert
Thought sidney was miami
nah that’s the gold coast, especially surfer’s paradise
Correct
Virginia in the northeast makes more sense than it looks
This map infuriates me to an unreasonable degree
I think it only infuriates midwestern andys
Coast to Coast, LA to Chicago...
+2
This is Louisiana erasure
