Ask the average American to point out Nebraska on a map of the U.S. and I bet you’d be surprised at how many couldn’t do it. We aren’t one of the flashier states; we tend to just keep to ourselves and be the best state very quietly. It’s interesting to see what the world thinks of us, though, and these maps give some pretty good insight.
- No one can seem to remember that we’re here.
Buzzfeed This could be why I couldn’t find a single funny map of just Nebraska - people forgot we exist.
- British people hilariously think of “the past” and “empty space” when they think of Nebraska.
Buzzfeed But at least we aren’t “made up” like South Dakota.
- According to the “Atlas of Prejudice,” we can be defined in one word: CORN.
AlphaDesigner This is actually much kinder than the labels given to a lot of other states, so we’ll take it.
- This is what Yahoo’s autocomplete thinks of Nebraska.
Flip Collective Type “Nebraska is” into a Yahoo search bar and see what autocomplete suggests you search for. According to this mapmaker, it’s “boring.” That’s okay - at least we’re real, unlike Wyoming.
- We sure do like our McRibs.
Estately This probably has something to do with the McRib’s origin story and the fact that it’s tied to Nebraska…or maybe it’s just that we really love the McRib.
- But we work off those McRib calories with…Jazzercise?
Estately The #2 result for Nebraska in this particular mapmaker’s research? Shuffleboard.
- This map of stereotypes is simple and to the point.
Cheezburger Well, there ARE a lot of farmers here.
- It seems we don’t have as much state pride as we thought.
USA Today But the 52% of Nebraskans who say this is the best state are the only ones who really matter, right?
- You might not agree, but statistics say we have the least corrupt government.
Ilya Gerner Go Nebraska!
Before you get too upset about anything you see here, I urge you to take these maps (and everything else on the Internet) with a grain of salt. They’re meant to be funny, not accurate. Do you know of any funny Nebraska maps? Be sure to share the links in the comments!
