He needs Oakleys, a goatee, and an antivax Facebook profile frame to complete the costume.
And about fifty pounds of weight
And a search history littered with bear cub porn.
We’ll also accept Grindr on his phone.
nah this guy has a Sniffles account.
A what?
Bear cub porn is hairy chubby gay guys.
Unless they’re a furry, then it’s pedo shit.
Either interpretation is valid.
But isn’t that just “bear”? it’s the “cub” part that makes it sound awful
I think the cub part indicates it’s younger guys too, but honestly I don’t watch porn so I can’t really say for sure.

You forgot the confederate flag!
Or maybe a Punisher tattoo.
Backwards American flag in black and white
I bet someone fused those two before!

– Trapped in Indiana
Everyday of my life brings me one day further from the day before I moved to NYC. So today, like every day since then was a good day.
I do not recommend West Virginia.
Just moved to Indiana, can confirm.
Indiana is funny 'cause Parks and Rec really didn’t have to exaggerate how annoying they can be there.
Hoosiers are… something
sorry g. moved out to California from indiana a couple years ago and never looked back. hope one day u can get out
Hey we have them here in California too! Ever been to the San Bernardino mountains?
Oh bro for sure. but living in the bay you can kinda forget that they exist lol.
Well I live in rednecklandia so yeah… Atleast those my age are bearable, fubar for boomers and gen x the silent generation are great though.
No, you stay in the US
Yeah nawh mate.
Move up to NWI, it’s more like an extension of Chicago
Edit: but without all the taxes
I got out of Indiana a few years ago and moved to civilization on the coasts. Godspeed.
Should have been adult child sized
I’d like a small men’s cowboy costume please.

I live in a small town outside pittsburgh about 45 mins. I lived in a city my entire life from 18 to 36. I bought a house here and it’s quiet, but holy shit the people here are ignorant AF. When I say ignorant, I don’t use that term like rude, I mean literally dumb and uneducated. NO ONE around here can even spell. Fb is hilarious with the spelling they come up with or they will use a word that sounds similar to the big word they are trying to use but not quite right. Some day, I’m going to compile a list. They hate any race that isn’t white, they are misinformed, religious in thought but drinking every night, TERRIBLE parents… I yelled at my neighbor because her 3 year old son was half a mile down the road playing by himself on a 30 foot tall dirt pile and she was nowhere to be seen. When I yelled at her she said and I quote “iz he not allowed down thur or somethin?” I called the police and they came and told her she had to be outside when he was outside and she has been ever since. I’m sure she hates parenting. Trump support everywhere especially after he’s now a convicted rapist. It’s insane. I’m pretty outcast, i speak out when I see dumb shit, especially people selling these stickers. I call them white trash. People who know me personally respect me and I’ve won 1 or 2 over but man it’s exhausting. Had to buy a few guns when shit was getting real scary with the rednecks wanting to overthrow the govt. I’m surrounded by rednecks with guns. I miss the city. Sure there are all types of shitty people but atleast you get culture, good food, beautiful views, activities. We drive up every so often but it’s not the same. If our house wasn’t so big and beautiful and old compared to what I would get in the city for 3x the cost, I would move. Fuck these hillbillies.
Rednecks were originally left wing pro-union workers originally. So these people don’t deserve to be called rednecks.
Edit: had to double check. There were multiple meanings including the coal miners I am referring to. Apparently it could also mean white sun burned farmers in the 19th century
Rednecks are farmers given that name from having their heads down while plowing their fields. They were Klan back in the day and are right wing extremists now. These people deserve much worse than being called a derogatory name.
From the Wikipedia article on rednecks:
Coal miners
The term “redneck” in the early 20th century was occasionally used in reference to American coal miner union members who wore red bandanas for solidarity. The sense of “a union man” dates at least to the 1910s and was especially popular during the 1920s and 1930s in the coal-producing regions of West Virginia, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania.[18] It was also used by union strikers to describe poor white strikebreakers.[19]
I like how you glossed over the entire first part of the article to try to prove me wrong lmao. Clown.
lol bro skipped half the article, cherry picked the shortest paragraph on the whole page
I originally got the info from a tiktok. It appears that while that meaning is correct it’s not the primary meaning of the term. I would have thought that leftist tiktokers would do at least some research before releasing a video but I guess not.
I would have thought leftist tiktokers would do at least some research
Bro cmon.
Did you even read my earlier correction? I said the term has had multiple meanings. The coal miners were in the 20th century, the farmer rednecks were earlier in the 19th century.
Yeah you edited it after i posted it to save some face. Lol. Take the L.
Nah I edited it because I did more research. The original source I had was from a leftist tiktoker who left out the original meaning of the term. It turns out if you search for videos like this you can find more than one talking about the redneck revolt.
That being said I find it bizarre you can’t deal with the concept that a word has multiple meanings.
Edit: Also why are you trying to say stuff like “Take the L”. The whole point of discussing these things is to learn or to inform, turning it into a competition is wrong and leads to bad faith behavior and antagonism for no reason.
I found a misleading source of information that I should have verified ahead of time. I find it hard to believe you wouldn’t make the same mistake.
I’m starting to think there might be a reason some people assumed I was a racist redneck when I argued why I like small towns more than cities. Is that seriously what its like in some places? Here you will see the occasional truck covered in trump stickers but that’s pretty much it. There’s plenty of different cultures and views here. Not as much as a city of course, but that’s as expected.
It’s OK to like small towns, but most of the people who live in small towns, never left and have no aspirations to. It’s particularly evident with some of the more uh… shallow gene pool folk. They are so backwards, they know they would get ridiculed around people outside of their comfort zone, which I’m sure they would. They hate “pretty people”. City people are usually pretty people and there is like a weird level of jealousy based around that. I live in what used to be a steel town and when I tell you that everyone who lives at the bottom of the hill have mental issues and all have kids that have learning disabilities, I’m not joking. Heavy metals HAVE to be the cause of so many issues in small towns. There are kids here with growth deformities, 10 miles away there is a nuclear dump that is just chilling in the middle of a residential area. Tons of people got and get cancer there, people continue to live around it and die. I have no idea why lol. It’s insane. The govt put up signs but they aren’t even noticeable. If you drive past, my wife had to point it out. It’s fucking NUCLEAR WASTE. Seriously… I’ve been in fights with a lot of my neighbors over the way they treat their children. My neighbor across the street has 2 kids and 1 black step daughter from his wife’s other marriage, I feel so bad for her. One day I was outside and a group of young boys came up the street with a football, they were about 14. The dad was outside and from across the street I could hear them saying N*gger very loudly. The redneck dad just ignored it. He probably thinks the same thing and is embarrassed by her. I was shocked he just turned away and ignored it. If I ever heard that again, I’d say something l, I should have to make him look bad bit I really didn’t expect him to NOT say something. I pack heat everywhere I go out here, there was a crazy redneck yelling about Biden with a gun last summer at the ice cream stand. He got arrested but if I was there with my kids and someone pulled a gun, I’d have to pop them. Never had that happen in the city. Shits real in the battlefield.

Yeah, but then you have small towns like Boulder Colorado which are much more liberal than you would find even in some larger cities.
And I grew up in the country near a couple of small towns, and we used to relentlessly make fun of rednecks and the illiterate farmers who live near the towns. One of the local high schools however had a dragon as a mascot. Apparently back in the 1980s and '90s, that was not okay because we accuse them of being KKK all the time. That high school could never live that one down.
small towns like Boulder Colorado
Boulder has a population of around 100k, I wouldn’t call it small or a town.
Boulder is not a small town. But even if it were, it’s a college town which, surprise surprise, always changes the small town dynamic.
I’ve lived in the city most of my life. Had a friend that lived in the country that told me to come out and visit. He was convinced that I needed to buy a gun because how dangerous it supposedly is.
I shit you not, the next morning he was threatening his neighbor with a gun. Turns out there is a ton of crime in the country. Nobody has a job so they constantly steal from each other.
He’s got that thousand-yard-squint. Very cool and masculine.
Thousand yard squint, that’s brilliant.
People where I live now are genuinely afraid of the city for sure. There is some merit, but only if you go looking to step in shit.
For me, I’m largely desensitized to city stuff from a lifetime, and I’m tired. I don’t like it anymore.
Not inbred looking enough
What are you talking about?
The guy looks like his parents are alcoholic siblings.
He’s talking about Eyes-too-close-together disease.
Fetal alcohol syndrome?
I equate eyes-too-close-together more with inbreeding than FASD
Well scientists say it is a key feature:
“Children with full fetal alcohol syndrome also have distinctive facial features – their eyes are close together and the area beneath their nose is flat.”

I’m not scared of cities, but there is something to be said about being able to get away from people…
Riding my bike in the city is way more annoying than when I ride on a gravel/dirt road in the countryside with animals and scenery
Also those f150 dudes crack me up. I can count on one hand the number of those I’ve ever seen hauling anything
And the f150’s you do see hauling shit are hauling loads that a f350 has no business hauling.
Do fake country guys really wear henleys? I like henleys.
Edit: I did research. Thank god he was wearing a long-sleeve tee and not a henley.
Nah, you did bad research. 🤨 But I do like that video. That’s a henley, henley definition: A collarless pullover shirt, characterized by a round neckline and a placket about 3 to 5 inches long and usually having 2–5 buttons. It essentially is a collarless polo shirt.
Country clothing is usually very simple, practical. Like the henley. It is a far too convenient piece of clothing to be owned by any one group! 🙂 I don’t like henleys, I love henleys. Just don’t wear it in combination with a dumbass cowboy hat. 😂 Or camo. 🤢
I’ve lived in a range of population centers, from mid sized towns of about 30k, to cities in the millions, and now in a small town of 5k spread through the entire valley. Its different strokes for different folks. The city was nice with lots of things to keep me occupied, but I could barley afford to do anything because my tiny apt cost 2.5k a month. Cities would be great if the CoL was addressed. Smaller towns on the other hand offer me plent of unspoiled nature to explore and a tighter knit sense of community while allowing me to live comfortably.
Each has its benefits and generalizing one side or the other doesn’t do it justice.
They are all so tough until they actually have to be around people. Then they gotta strap up to get a slurpy.
Now make a sexy version.
Why is his downvoted? I wanna see a fat Redneck wearing topless! 😂
Haha, I get why it’s being downvoted. It could sound like I’m endorsing the attributes of the costume.
I was just poking fun at the fact that all halloween costumes come in a “normal” version and a “sexy” version that’s just tighter fitting and less dressed.
The look in his eyes should tell people everything they need to know!
I don’t blame anyone for being scared of specifically american cities. They are genuinely a nightmare. That’s why I live in a town of about 15k people.
Such a nightmare, my wife is taking our kids to a concert at the zoo today. So horrible! They will be taking a bus (pUbLiC tRaNsPoRtAtIoN), horrifying!
The problem with american cities is the terrible public transportation. That’s most of why I hate them.
How is public transportation in towns with 15,000 people?
Nonexistent, but its easy to drive here even with everyone on the roads, the same doesn’t apply to a city. I definitely could have made my point more clear, so that’s my bad.
Sounds like you’re scared of traffic not cities.
You should be scared of traffic btw. It’s made of barely conscious people driving heavy machinery that only works because… Well, it turns out consciousness isn’t actually that important.
Regardless, car accidents are by far the leading cause of early death and permanent injury.
Fun Fact: if you were to drive a mile to a convenience store to buy a lottery ticket, you would be more likely to die on the way than to win the jackpot.
Yes, so it makes sense I wouldn’t like places that have lots of traffic.
Are you scared of parking lots?
Interestingly, my old hometown of about 20,000 people just added frequent bus service. They have all day buses to drive from one end of the town to the other, every 10 minutes. It’s pretty amazing. And people are actually riding it!
And the public transportation is better in your 15k town? Your criticism is BS. Could it be better? Yes, our governments (federal/state/local) has failed the working class for decades upon decades. That’s not unique to cities and at least there is incentive to build transportation along with dense urban planning, you legit can’t do that in small town America.
My bad I should’ve elaborated more. The problem is that the lack of good public transportation puts more people on the roads that shouldn’t be there. This is a problem in a small town too, but its much less noticeable because of the smaller population in general.
The scariest part of going to the city is driving if you don’t do it often. That’s… All I can think of. I guess getting lost? I can do that in the woods too though
The scary part is that driving is so chaotic in american cities. I drive a lot and its still awful to me. Even if you ignore how much less safe it is than a small town, it takes ages to get anywhere; and of course you can’t walk anywhere either because its all designed for cars. It is absolutely a nightmare compared to where I live.
So you think it is scary because it isn’t as small as a small town. Thanks for the contribution.
That’s the difference between the two, what else am I supposed to base my opinion off of?
It’s not scary, is his point.
Scary is definitely an exagerration but it is frustrating and unpleasant.
This i can def agree with
lmfao oh no so scary and loud.
Why are you scared of cities?
Not cities in general, just american ones because they are so car centric, yet they all still somehow suck at driving and nearly kill me at every turn.
You’re suffering from a problem of perception, because the car accident fatality rate is almost universally higher in rural areas than in cities. In rural areas, people drive faster for longer distances, so when accidents happen they’re more likely to be immediately fatal. They also happen further away from other people who can assist and from competent medical care
I’m not talking about a rural area, I’m talking about a town. You don’t go high speeds inside a town regardless of the size of the town. Its not like every building is miles away from the next one. This isn’t the middle of nowhere, we have a hospital.
Your town of 15K is the literal definition of rural. What do you think rural means it not a town of 15K, and where did you get that definition?
Unfortunately, I bet the car accident fatality rate in your town is higher than most cities, but we won’t know that for sure unless you reveal where you live. Also your hospital is not able to handle traumas or other serious medical events, so you will be transported to the nearest city via ambulance or helicopter after they do their best to stabilize you, delaying your treatment by hours
You clearly have no frame of reference for the infrastructure in a town of this size. You can’t just tell me what’s in my town, I’m the one that lives here, I know what’s in it. My hospital is more than capable of handling serious injuries. It is exceedingly rare that anyone needs to travel to a city for medical care.
I suppose we have different definitions of rural, but the way you worded it sounded like you think my town is mostly empty long stretches of road with the occasional gas station. Its unclear to me exactly what you think my town is, but the speed limits here are about the same as any city, and you never have to drive very far to get anywhere in town.
I’ve been to places similar to what you think my town is, and I’m more than willing to admit their faults, but its not like that everywhere and you are clearly demonstrating your ignorance on the subject by acting like you know better than me what’s in my town.
Tons of other cities are car centric.
I haven’t been to every city, but if it doesn’t have a good alternative to cars, its probably not a pleasant place to be. The reason I say american cities is because I’ve been to a lot of cities here so I have personal experience with them.
Ok that makes sense.
I don’t think scared is the right word but everything about driving in a city sucks. Struggling to find parking or having to pay, taking 30 min to drive 4 miles, shitty beat up roads
Yes, I was in Toronto over the weekend and it was hell t traveling around the city.
Meh. I live out in the country, and the only scary thing about cities to me is the traffic. Even NYC was fine outside of Times Square, and I took public transit. The only place I really hated was Orlando, but that was because of the exhausted Disney kids. It was overwhelming for everyone.
The traffic is the main problem to me. It is just so, so much worse than where I live. I was exagerrating which people didn’t seem to understand, but it makes it an unpleasant experience to visit most cities here.
Yeah, you should be aware of the way people talk about cities in frankly bigoted ways if you don’t want to be perceived as a bigot. Talking about cities being dangerous or scary is a coded way to denigrate Black people. Like, when people talk about Chicago being dangerous, they’re specifically referring to neighborhoods with Black majority populations and generalizing it to the entire city. That’s what this meme is about, not traffic.
Oh sorry, I didn’t realize that was much of a thing. Most people I know just complain about traffic but I don’t talk to racists very much so I guess that makes sense.
Like anywhere else, you get used to it. I’m from a smaller town, and there was a lot less traffic, but there was also a lot less to do. I live in a city now, and yes there’s some traffic, but there are also a ton of bars, restaurants, parks, theaters, museums, and interesting, diverse people. Where I came from was 90% white and conservative with a church on every corner, and our restaurant options were Taco Bell and Applebee’s. I can’t emphasize enough how happy I am to live in a city despite the traffic, which only takes up a small part of your day
I know it seems like less of a problem to people in cities, I used to live in one when I was younger and I never noticed it. But now whenever I visit, its extremely jarring to go back to that. I do miss having more stuff to do, but to me its a good trade off. It really just depends on what your priorities are, but my point was that I wouldn’t blame someone for hating cities, not that they are objectively horrible places to live.
My point was that I wouldn’t blame someone for hating cities, not that they are objectively horrible places to live.
They are genuinely a nightmare.
I think there’s a communication issue here
I was over exaggerating because I wasn’t expecting to have an in depth conversation on a shitpost community.
As a european I would be scared of America in general, I mean is a heavily armed Redneck neighbor really that much saver than a heavily armed street gang?
The murder rate in the countryside is often higher than in the city.
However, this does not mean either is safe. But cities have the density of violence. Here’s Chicago from January through June 1st of this year:
The 641 shootings recorded in 2023 so far is also the lowest total for this time period since 2020, according to CPD data.
Yeah my city went from being the third safest in the US to over 1,400 shooting incidents last year and they don’t even know how many murders, they’re still finding bodies.
Also Trump got a hard-on for our town and decided to make it centerpoint of his campaign for like 2 years and he called us terrorists. Fun stuff.
Lived in downtown Minneapolis the last few years. Still never felt unsafe walking around. Even with the uptick of crime. Safety is dependent on where you go within the city.
As long as you don’t do anything stupid, you’re pretty good.But I constantly hear from the burbs and rural areas how it’s sO dAnGeRoUs.
